Lawyers are leeches of society

agree. never liked most lawyers. There are some good ones though, but in general they are over-compensated leaches and part of a good ol boy network to keep their salaries artificially high. Now there is a glut of lawyers, driving prices down.

At least they provide a service. What do day traders provide? Absolutely nothing, they move zeroes and ones around all day and add nothing productive to society.

They make money for people

The argument is they help set the market price by making so many transactions. Supposedly, if day trading didn't occur, the market would not be efficient and would be open to arbitrage.

I don't necessarily agree on their value because while they do help set prices to ensure an efficient market they also contribute to what I call "speculation fluctuations".

The problem with lawyers are the ones that do good go unnoticed.....and the greedy jerk lawyers get notoriety and fortune, putting a bad taste in the mouth for people like us.
