Can someone explain the logic behind the above statements?  I would agree
with the comment about cannon fodder but to say that day traders are causing
the stock market bubble? (!)  A day trader by definition gets in and out in
the same day - this should neither move the market up nor down on a
continuing basis but only provide liquidity.  A bubble is caused by bulls
buying without regard to value (and obviously holding).

I know this guy thinks he's a guru or something but this just doesn't make
sense.  Can someone provide a different interpretation?
