Very old (but true) joke: Airplane pilots fly... helicopter pilots beat the air into submission. I've been a fixed-wing pilot/owner for 26 years, and still dream of flying helicopters someday. FWIW, my idea of how to spend retirement is found at www.rotorway.com.

I trade QQQ exclusively, with an average lot size of 10,000. I'm currently using Schwab CyberTrader, and they are changing their rates (effective 7/24/03). The change will make smaller size orders cheaper, but larger orders more expensive. After the change, 10K QQQ will cost $35 ($70...

I don't disagree with anything in your last post... it's all a matter of scale. Here's an analogy: If you're building a factory to build thousands of refrigerators, you'll probably make more profit building it in China. But when your Chinese-made refrigerator needs service, you call the...

We are all aware that overseas programmers work for lower rates. Most overseas workers do, regardless of occupation. This completely misses the point. Andrasnm states: "There are lot of programmers out there who can do the same and charge $7-10 per hour." Really? Let's concentrate on the...

Please send me your list of programmers who work for $7-10 per hour. Don't forget their phone numbers. What a wonderful resource. I can't wait.

Truer words have never been spoken. For me, exclusive use of automated systems was the "big breakthrough" toward consistent profits.

Your satire is funny, and makes a point. Thanks for posting something in English. Your point (condensed) is "there are no guru chatrooms that will help a newbie". I wholeheartedly agree. In fact, my personal belief is that there are no "guru chatrooms" that really benefit traders of any...

If you read the original post, hopefully my purpose is obvious. Many years ago (then a naive newbie myself) I joined UndergroundTrader.com, and ended up wasting a ton of money before I realized I was being scammed. The purpose of my post was simple: to help someone else avoid the same...

Who/what is "MR.MARKET"? By context, I assume this is an "inside joke" on this board and and some type of put-down. There seems to be a subculture here on ET... people who have little interest in discussing trading techniques, but much interest in ridiculing others. I've got nothing...

I haven't found this in my dictionary, so I'm not sure what your point is. Perhaps if you respond in English I could understand better. It is clear how one compiles 3,000+ posts.

An understandable theory. Let's be scientific and test it. If anyone PM'd me, and got a response that mentioned a website, please post on this thread and bust me on it. This invitation extends to Baron, who I'm sure has the technical ability to read the PM log if he so desires...

Several years ago, I foolishly paid 6 months of subscriber fees to UndergroundTrader.com. I can attest that Downtickboy's post is 100% accurate. My experience was exactly as he described. There are exceeding few "trade call" sites that will help a newbie to be profitable. Those that...

stock777, if there is an award for "most interesting post of the month", you have my vote. Great link... Thanks!!!

I'm not a long-term trader, but if I was... I would consider the religious zeal of the anti-Microsoft crowd an anecdotal datapoint in favor of a long position.

I was born & raised in Pittsburgh, now call Houston home. How great is was to be a Steelers fan in the 70's!!!
