To most people I talk to, I don't tell them anything. I try my best to keep my trading life a secret. As far as I'm concerned, it's not anybody's business what I do. If I slip-up and talk about the market, I might simply say that I trade stock, and try to change the subject as soon as...

Kicking, I respect everybody's opinion only if it is factually correct. Your statement that you love the US is hardly believable by the way you talk so derogatory about it's leadership and law enforcement agencies. There is no perfect government, and if you would wake you, you will see that...

I, too, want to take this time to thank everyone at ET that has a part in making this website possible. A special thanks to Baron-- your posts have helped a lot. ET is, without a doubt, the best website going. I have learned so much since I became a member. Best wishes for the New Year!

Easy, Best wishes for 2003; hope you make a million. Sounds like you and I started about the same time. I must admit that 2002 has been a difficult year, but I have learned a lot, and my trading is definitely better. Like you, I'm looking forward to 2003. I figure around March I'll...

HAPPY NEW YEAR! May 2003 be profitable to every ET member.

LOL:D

Interesting analogy, plumlazy; I bet you just loved Harry Potter.:D

That Hillary Clinton is one of the most admired people in America.:D

Great point of view Scaleout-- makes more sense than anything I've read on this thread. Some traders are just destined to screw it up no matter how good the TA setup is. The thing that I concentrate on is WHAT WORKS FOR ME. Every trader is different and needs to refine a strategy that...

Plumlazy, I have been considering satellite. Just curious, how fast is your order executions compared to a 56K dial-up?

Sterling, you're absolutely right, but some of us do not have access to a faster connection.

I don't think the problem is what I'm running, but that I have a hard time connecting at start-up. When I get connected, I run TWS and Quote Tracker. Your connection to satellite is interesting. That might be something I would like to try. I have heard that the transmittal is somewhat...

I did a search on this topic and found this thread. I have a 56K dial up connection and recently I've been getting knocked off 3+ times per day. I've also got a problem with my connection, in that I can't connect at all or I connect at a very slow speed. When everything works right, I...

Thanks for the little educational tip about Nicky and Ricky. But, as I see it, it doesn't hold water. The 4 trillion is supposedly, the amount of money that has came out of the market since 2000. With the exception of some secondary offerings, new IPO's and some companies going private or out...

Good question. I think the last time I heard someone talking about it, it was two or three trillion, can't quite remember. But, it does make you wonder. I've been looking at real estate for about a year now-- trying to diversify-- and it seems there is alot of interest there. People are...

Good Point

You don't need 50K to start. I think you've got enough to start learning right now. My suggestion is for you to open an account with IB (2K will get you a margin account). Go to scottrade and sign up for their free service; then, go over and open a free account with Quote Tracker and feed it...

I want to wish everyone on ET a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a Happy and prosperous New Year. ET is a place of learning for me, and I want to take this time to THANK everyone who contributes on the threads. I hope each and everyone of you have the most profitable year, ever, in 2003.
