Answer:

I’d ask him what are the stocks he is interested in selling/investing in. And where he would get all these stocks due to the fact that day traders sell everyday. Causing me to question if he’s buying stocks in surplus then selling them for a higher price or perhaps he has stocks of his own he can make a surplus of.

Explanation: Day traders execute many trades throughout the day to capitalize on intraday market price action. Their goal is to profit off of short term price movements.
