" there are generally four types of traders in the markets: Bulls, Bears, Sheep, and Pigs. The first two make profits, the last two get slaughtered." unknown Josh

Great posts.! It is truly amazing how simple it is, and yet appears so difficult. The only real battle, really takes place between the trader's ears. Those who understand that, and minimize/eliminate the self inflicting wounds can and do reach their maximum trading potential. Easier said...

I have tried that before, it's the same as praetorian2 I think has suggested too, and a couple of other traders. I have tried numerous times to get in, signed up but something seems to be wrong and it redirects out to the main page. Anyone else had similar difficulty and fixed it? Josh

Congrats to all who both traded well and made profits today! Josh

Question is, even if you are fortunate enough to come across someone who is really good at trading, what would be his incentive to take time and train you? Since a great part of a veteran trader's profits are due to "bad traders and usually newbies" taking his other side, teaching a newbie...

In price improvement? commissions? or? can you provide an example? Thanks Josh

The speculator's chief enemies are always boring from within. It is inseparable from human nature to hope and to fear. In speculation when the market goes against you hope that every day will be the last day--and you lose more than you should had you not listened to hope--to the same pioneers...

you don't sell them peanuts when the people are asking for them,...well, when the circus leaves, you know what is the only job available in town.... hehe Josh

A better view with video's and some nice basic component explanations http://www.segway.com.edgesuite.net/consumer/home_flash.html Novel idea. Josh

Yes, I wouldn't mind if it goes back to .05 increments for all Nyse stocks. Even to .10 for the higher priced ones.. easier to keep track of specialist's levels. Fractions were great. Josh
