<p>It's easy to become enchanted by the idea of turning quick profits in the stock market, but day trading makes nearly no one rich in fact, many people are more likely to lose money. Conversely, investors who buy and hold low-cost index funds that track a broad market index like the S&P 500 could see higher returns over a long period. Historically, the S&P 500 has an annualized total return of about 10%.</p>

<p><br>The reason that you don't hear about many traders is that traders tend to be a tight lipped bunch that don't talk when they are making money. The reason that you don't hear about people becoming traders is that anytime there is a job that actually makes money in finance people won't give you a cookbook for getting it, since figuring out how to network with the right people is part of the "game."</p>
