Hi EmilyPaige, I agree about the 2-day (live) Basic Stocks class: I took it last month, and I'd be interested to know whether we had the same instructor. Mine was Mark Larson. Although some of the teasers that he gave us about Options and Advanced Technicals were interesting, he...

AWESOME! I do trailing % stops and was about to cancel them and try re-entering them in my first attempt at one-cancels all. Bracketed - GREAT - thanks!

I am so glad you said that. After reading it, I realized that I hadn't a clue about when to sell the four stocks I'd bought: EXP, MSM, MEA, PKD. I wanted to shoot for 10% gain and then sell. By buying only stocks with sound financials in strong and rising industry groups and using the...

After I lost a bundle in the dot bomb, I learned that buy-and-hold is not for me either, but it was the only thing I knew until two weeks ago. I wish I'd had the Big Chart back then. This Options Techniques web site URL was forwarded to me by the OC County CA Investools Club. Most of the...

I'm only trading in my self-directed IRA, so my portfolio is very small. I started trading on June 27 and bought EXP and MSM, and then MEA. I don't know anything about options, so I'm trading stocks only. After counting the 6 etrade ($12.99) commissions that I'll be charged for buying and...

I finished the second day of their two-day basic stocks course today (June 29) and I must say that the pen was a bit disappointing ;-) It was a plastic Hyatt hotel pen, albeit a silver-colored plastic. I did not buy any of their additional workshops (I'm waiting to see whether their Basic...

So far my experience with Investools has been good. One of my colleagues attended the free workshop in Irvine CA last month and was impressed and signed up for the Stocks class. She cancelled because she is on a slow dialup line and could not run the online course. They did not charge her...

At the June 22 2007 seminar in Dana Point CA, the price was $1K plus $50/mo after 6 mos. A month before that in nearby Irvine CA, the price was $2K plus $30/mo after 6 mos (my colleague was at that one). In each case, the price included a 2-day instructor-led class plus the online class...

I don't mind trial closes because I know that's how sales people are taught to make a living. (I *did* mind the sleaziness at the Better Trades free workshop that I attended this month). If a friend will split the $2k cost with me, I'll try the two-day Investools workshop after I attend the...

I plan to attend an Investools free workshop on Friday, 6/22. I'll post my impressions after, if anyone is interested. (Let me know - otherwise there's no reason for me to waste space in the thread) My thanks to peekaboo2yoo for starting this thread. With 13 pages and >64,000 views, it...

One of my colleagues attended an InvesTools workshop last month and she was impressed with the searches that she felt would save her a lot of time in researching stock fundamentals. She's in I.T. and gets off on searches. She gave me this link to look at...

I went to the Bettertrades seminar this week because I wanted to comparison shop. IT WAS BAD - REALLY, REALLY BAD. It felt sleazy from the moment I registered at the door and received two sheets of folded typing paper to take notes. No literature. Nothing with their name on it...
