The Newsweek writer interviewed Robert Green for a long time. Green gave a positive spin on the professional trading industry and said "day trading" is not a great word to use anymore as it carries a negative connotation in the press. Green talked about professional and proprietary trading being done by at-home (or solo) traders, using all the modern tools available - in the same manner as their brethren at the Wall Street firms. Many of Green's comments ended up in the story.

The writer apologized for misspelling Green's name. "EGADS. Once in a blue moon I misspell a name (and it's usually something ridiculously stupid and maddening like Green/Greene), but getting both a first and last name wrong is a first for me in ten years of doing this. I'm terribly sorry and very embarrassed. I'll see if we can run a correction. Again, sorry. I hope you do better with tax returns than I did with your name."
