Im sorry I missed it. Im sure it would have been the high point of my day, if you get my drift. what was first prize, anyway?

thx

you're ok friend. my beef is the inherent conflict of interest involved, and the obvious edge that being in the public domain gives a trader. do they ever come out and say, 'hey, I shorted that stock before I told you about it and I did great?'

they can still ignore you on instinet, right? and if it serves their purposes, they'll ignore you everywhere else, too. There is also the elitist mentality to consider. It is very real. Knowing this might be an edge in itself.

I know a guy who made at least a mil a year for three straight. Last time we talked, he was on track for only a quarter this year. Times are tough.

ECN's are paying brokers who in turn pay traders to execute. Where's the money coming from?

I think everyone who does anything ought to read this book about Ernest Shackleton's expedition to the south pole. Absolutely riveting.

Net: I've just discussed this w/a contact in Chicago. Is there a problem with trading remote w/a 106?

yes but... there were some pretty nasty moments in 90's. and the first two years were crap.

what a great post and from a college grad no less. I think you're miles ahead of the pack.

i think alot of traders would say, get to know a stock. I've seen Don Bright say something like,' don't even look at a filter for several months while you get to know some stocks.' Just a handful. Get to know how they trade. I sat next to one of the best, I mean the best, OTC traders in...
