Half the world will die of the swine flu first.

I'm with you--automate my trading...set up several test accounts also to work on new strategies. Also do consulting work and I control my schedule. No more cubicles.

It was up again this AM, so took a profit. However, still have in another account...

Yes, you can pull up intraday ATR. However, there isn't a calculator for this.

Because people are (choose as many as apply) too stupid, impatient, don't have the balls or money to do this day in and day out. They are like sheep losing 40% in their mutual funds last year.

I do agree that the US govt won't let GE fail. Too many defense contracts, etc. But, I wouldn't buy GE now. There are plenty of better ways to make money. If you already bought it, depends on if you want a tax write-off for a loss when you sell. Real question is: What is GS's...
