I feel day traders

  1. Do most amount of work. (daily grind)
  2. Make least amount of profit. (usually small capital, small profits)
  3. Pay most amount of tax. (short term capital gain tax)
  4. Get the least amount of sleep. (monitor daily movements)

While Value investors

  1. Do least amount of work. (buy/sell once in a few months/years)
  2. Make most amount of profit. (usually large capital)
  3. Pay least amount of taxes. (long term cap gain tax)
  4. Get the most amount of sleep. (do not monitor micro movements)

Day traders win unless they can literally tell the future on a daily basis.
