  • Financials: The Day-Trading Boom and Why It's So Concerning

    Recently, billionaire investor Marc Cuban compared the current stock market to the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s. The reason?

In this episode of Industry Focus: Financials, host Jason Moser and Fool.com contributor Matt Frankel, CFP discuss why day trading can be so dangerous, and what investors should consider before trying to day trade. Plus, the pair discusses why they're watching EPR Properties (NYSE: EPR) and Shift4 Payments (NASDAQ: FOUR) this week.
