Pregame.com is a good one. Yes, many professional handicappers exist, but they have a more difficult time making money than traders do, IMO.

ttt for Tick.

tickdaddy - Definitely interested.

No man, you do good work. :D

No, the $75k bath in silver futures took care of that for me. :D If you'll look at the HLX chart it's ping ponged around for the last year, and I could've quadrupled my money had I been able to identify the reversal trends. I know nothing about technical analysis, and that's what led me to...

Attended one of the "Power Trading Workshops" today. They did a decent job getting me fired up, but I left without signing up for two reasons: 1) There were a gaggle of morons in the class. The OTA staff kept talking about turning individuals into "professional traders", and there's no way...
