swissgrammie asked:


I would like a figure for how many people, outside of the financial institutions that actively trade all types of financial instruments. I want to exclude everyone who invests money in mutual funds and buys and holds shares, its the number of people who actively buy and sell with the aim of making short term profits that i am interested in.
