not remotely relevant, but thanks anyway. I am a *small time* *trader*, not a wealthy investor. I don't have time, once I spot a good trading opportunity, to call up an MM and discuss setting up a brokerage account.

Hi, I am a small time penny trader, but I'm good at it and enjoy it a lot. However, I am now convinced that I have to leave my broker, Ameritrade. The ONLY reason I'm still there is the simple reason that they charge a flat commish regardless of # of shares bought. So I can buy 1M shares of...

ETRX turned out alright lol. I trade the pennies actively and for good profit, and none of the reasons pro traders give to avoid them resonates with me. MM manipulation? Hardly exclusive to penny stocks, and anyway, so be it. It's easy to read between the lines of MM bluffing and made-up...

I love em and do well at them. PRB .07 ETRX .065 1) these companies are going out of business soon. 2) they'll both probably double or triple within a week or two. Only what you can afford to lose....

Reitburg, all I know is that, when I find myself idle during the trading day, I will pretend like I'm playing Nazdaq eminis (though I never have in real life). I have come to the conclusion that I wouldn't make jack doing that. MAybe you are better at calling intraday and short term index...

I turned $4K into $16K in 2002. Did it all in penny and BB stocks. Lost money on the majority of my trades, but had several doubles+ and one big triple (RMEC) on which I had bet over half my account. Do I expect to turn my $16K into $64K in 2003? No, but I'll try! N.B. -- From late '99...

i know very little about computers: Is Windows 2000 the same as ME? Because I've heard ME sucks. Also, it seems you can get computers preloaded with XP or 98 or ME, but I never see "Windows 2000" as an option for your OS when you buy a new computer. Btw I use Win 98 and have had to...

newbieish question, but can anyone suggest a technical screener the gives realtime results, and/or realtime info on market movers (biggest gainers/losers and volume leaders, etc.)? I play some pennies and bb stocks and use the technical screener at smallcapcenter.com, but it's delayed. i...

I trade from home and love it, but it's the isolation that's probably the worst aspect. However, I imagine it's better than trading in an office because I imagine pro office traders as probably being a lot like used car salesmen or pawn shop owners or cops. Fat, emotionally underdeveloped...

I like the idea of being able to trade while travelling, but this won't be entirely feasible until reliable, affordable, global wireless broadband becomes available. I have no idea of the state of wireless broadband technology, but DAMN it seems to be taking a while to come to market. I'm...

thanks. I trade stocks successfully from instinct alone. All I want is a chart and volume indicator... You can accurately deduce ema's and technical indicators from instinct with experience. I have a distaste for using systems and follwing indicators, which tells me that I may not like...

I'm new and have been reading tons of threads, but I want to ask some general questions... It seems a lot of people have forsaken dayrading altogether for futures trading. Is it more profitable? Is it easier? What are the tax advantages? Is it as fun as trading equities? One thing...
