better than the stock market.

i used to do technical support for a startup that enabled people to trade themselves on the stock market and it made me feel disgusting when i learned that 99% of the user base were desperate people that couldn't find work so were using the stock market as a last ditch gambit.

    Well damn that's depressing. They can't make up much of the total market though that is I imagine people's index funds and 401Ks outweigh people gambling with penny stocks.

    i didn't stick around long enough to find out; i left on the same day i learned that they were targeted with 3rd party spam adds to buy worthless crap and i couldn't be a party to smiling at someone's face while they shared their hopes of keeping a roof over their heads and food on the table using the stock market since they couldn't find work.
