So a stockbroker who is loosing money isn’t a professional stockbroker?
Depends on how often does he loosing money. It's the same thing with stockbrokers, as with poker players. They all do loosing money ever and again. And the only thing, that can show a real professional is time. After particular time only those few, who good enough stay in the business and make money for life, but the most loosing too much and giving up or even go broke if they can't stop. You can't afford loosing too much longer period of time as a professional, that's the main difference, i think.
