Thanks vhehn...that's pretty much what I've been telling her... the damage has pretty much been done.

More like one aggressive granddaughter. My grandmother doesn't know what a bond is, much less a junk bond.

She's not loaded, but she's 91 years old and has another $200,000 in a putnam fund.

Here's the portfolio: Cash: $52,150.00 Funds: 1. COY--1500 shares 2. CYE--4000 shares Stocks: 1.CSCO---200 shares 2.ELCO---4,000 sh 3.ERICY---500 sh 4.GE----300...

Here's the deal...My sister, who is a stockbroker is managing a portfolio for my grandmother. It started out at $150,000, went up to about $300,000 and is now around $109,000. My grandmother asks me if she should sell. I don't mess with stocks or pay much attention...

Hey Tony...I have snagit,also. But, I can't figure out how to get a capture on the whole chart. You know, the part that's not showing on the desktop. :confused:

No, I wasn't trying to be cute. I always read your posts with special attention. I will try it. :)

LoL...I love it!

Great post rs7!! Tomorrow, I'm going to consider every trade as though it was money my grandmother entrusted me with. The signal's are going to have to be perfect! Thanks

That's one of the things I like about this forum...lot's of cool links.:D

I used BMIs satellite data for several years before I found a program (Dynastore) that would allow tradestation to work with eSignal. I didn't even realize it until I compared them(I still had BMI while I was testing dynastore) and discovered the satellite feed was sometimes 2 handles behind...
