    Teaching a teenager to trade

    I happened to do it backwards. I got married halfway through my working career (at 26yo). Sometimes I wish I had continued to balance things with work and investing. I have to look back now and see the non investing stuff that I did like teaching and writing not too imporant for income, etc...

    Teaching a teenager to trade

    Good observation. Most of these nay sayers should read Rich Dad, Poor Dad to get an adult orientation to replace their Poor Dad childhoods. Let your wife comment on their posts for laughs.

    Teaching a teenager to trade

    After 11 is a good age. You can either use a discovery process or if you are successful you can just mentor using your method. Sixth formers are perfectly capable of running their own accounts. One phenomena of learning to trade in a formal educational setting is that the students and...

    Hey the President speaks at 8pm est. You may turn out to be clairvoyant. the Pres certainly isn't; he's suggesting vacations for Saddam (I think the Azores is perfect for Bushy).

    Inside the Industry - Chat w/ Don Bright

    Neat contribution. are you saying we all have to stop using aliases? are you saying that your professional stature and accomplishments is the level you require of others for you to chat and exchange thoughts? I'm not being argumentative, in my opinion. Could you outline what it is...

    Need performance opinion

    This is a poor situation. I don't mean the gee whiz type graph. You need to get back to the drafting boards.

    Inside the Industry - Chat w/ Don Bright

    A neat format to use is voice and a person making a log. The person(s) voicing can inject NB's to the logger as well. It works especially well during market hours if all the participants are following the same market in real time. The fact that 78 folks were there simply means that yo...

    I am really in need of Some Advice...

    When I got out of college I took 300 bucks and mailed it to a broker. Then I kicked in some left overs from my pay check. since it was 1957, I had to do my charts in pencil on a graph I made and use data from the last page of the WSJ. At work I called in an order once a day. By 1960 when I...

    I am really in need of Some Advice...

    Could this be made into a two part question? The other part would be what can you do with 2000 bucks and brains and just do it evenings after market close. Skip the 30K trip.

    Need performance opinion

    Seriously there is one outstanding item you need to deal with. I think it will change your performance more than any other beginner item. Learn to do wash trades when you get in and it isn't following your intentions. so incrdible to see that you didn't do a wash trade.
