The term “day trading” refers to the practice of buying and selling stocks, and other immediately available trading assets, in the same day. Originally, day trading was only possible with brokerage houses that have been able to trade electronically with the NASDAQ since technology was introduced in 1971. However, day trading was brought to the masses with the exponentially exploding popularity of the Internet in the late 1990s when world financial markets enabled online trading.

Day-trading probably experienced its height of popularity during the tech-boom of the late 1990s when stock prices for tech stocks soared, often without any financial foundation. These unfounded high stock prices and bloated market capitalizations were realized after the enormous tech-bubble burst in 2000 and 2001.

For this reason, day-trading is a very risky practice that should be left to professionals. However, there is no licensing required so the practice still enjoys tremendous popularity. Day trading requires special research about the trends of the market during the immediate time period. These traders will search for news releases, hoping to find trends that will come to play that trading day. Often, day traders will join together in groups, sharing tips with each other. To have a chance of becoming a successful day trader, the investor must have the necessary time available to do proper research. Day trading is a full time job.

Another asset commonly focused on by day traders is the marginable stock. Marginable stock is simple stock approved for buying on margin. Buying on margin is purchasing on borrowed money from an established margin account at a brokerage. The SEC established new rules in marginable stock in 2001 by requiring that $25,000 must be maintained in an account solely for the purpose of margins trading. The SEC, in fact, advises strongly against day trading. A notice on their site reads, “Day traders typically suffer severe financial losses in their first months of trading, and many never graduate to profit-making status.” Obviously, this is a risky investment but day traders seem to thrive on the ultimate investment thrills.
