Awkward title. It implies congress is considering a ban on retail day trading.

  how? It's one senator saying this....

    The headline can be interpreted as "Members of Congress should not themselves be day trading" or as "Congress should enact legislation to prevent everyone from day trading". The article is clearly the first one, but the headline could be read either way.

      I see. moral obligation vs legal imperative. off topic, but I know congressmen know the only way is legislation
    • gweinberg 5y ago
      I think the second reading is more natural. The title should be "congressmen need to stop day trading".

  Interesting interpretation....never in a thousand years would have read it this way. I take it you don't trade/follow financial markets?

  It seems obvious after I caught my mistake, but I too originally misread it in this away. Not sure why you're being downvoted.

  I wish every time someone complained about a title, they included the title at the time. HN moderators are very quick to correct issues, and it leaves the comment and the rest wondering "what is wrong with it?"
