www.taoofthetrade.com He posts calls premarket and intraday and has good commentary. Fairly new blog, but worthwile to have as one of your feeds.

Monster traders back then, but the market was also much easier. Walter let me in but the traders on the desk taught me the skills to survive. Worldco was a stepping stone for many ppl, even if they moved onto other things besides trading. I was just lucky I got out in '01. Btw, Phen Phen...

anyone have a laptop coupon? Thanks in advance.

Actually, daytrading in very "light" markets is very difficult, although not impossible, for traders. I still know traders pulling in over 6 six figures so far this year from daytrading. Prop firms get hit when traders are doing 30% of their normal volume from same time last year, like what is...

All the financials. They will beat you and then spit in your face. Merril is one of the worst. I've never seen anyone so obviously rip you off and not care if you know it or not. He as well as other specs got a License to steal.

Maybe you should start of with just two monitors. Any of the new nvida cards support a dual monitor setup. Check out the Nvidia ti4200. You can get it for less than 190 bucks and you also get great graphics for games, which can keep your trading reflexes sharp during non market hours. :)

Great place to start as long as u get into a good group. Push for that. The problem is that there are only a handful of good group leaders at Worldco who are willing to teach u anything usefull. After u get more experienced, u might consider going off to somewhere like Generic where u don't...
