Dave Portnoy has become the poster-child of a surge in day trading, also dubbed "Robinhood trading" that has helped push markets to record highs and led some to speculate that the next great bubble may be inflating in the markets.
Portnoy has gained widespread attention for his aggressive style and bombastic videos under the nickname "Davey Day Trader."
But he is not alone. Robinhood has attracted more than 3 million account openings, this year alone.
Markets have been divided whether to applaud an army of day traders, or blame them for artificially inflating asset prices ahead of an expected crash in markets further down the line.
Portnoy defended his day-trading ventures and exclusively told Business Insider: "I don't think it is going to end in tears unless, you know, you're leaving all your chips on the table and just waiting for a crash."
Some of the market's most-prominent investors disagree, however. So in that spirit, Markets Insider has rounded 5 of the best quotes from some of the richest US billionaires about their disdain for day-trading:
