I have come across a few websites and/or products, often local which end up becoming a national success. In the age of the internet it seems the hopper has a never-ending supply of new tools to make us lazy, or just plain more efficient.... Here are a few of mine to start...

Interesting to see the 'YTD' rankings (must be a newer feature) Does the laggards show the YTD? Do you see MAX on there at all?

I hold a few licenses and am considering doing something similar. The disclosure for most licenses (sec, finra) are pretty tough on this, ime I am in the process of developing some sites and a blog with the intent of publishing them after i leave the firm i am at. Would like to hear your...

Almost sounds cliche, but your words are wise old man. There is no such thing as a good 'trader's wife,' unless she has the opportunity to spend enough to make up for the emotional rollercoaster every trader experiences early on in his/her career. There are outliers, however it doesn't...
