Where does everyone live/trade and how old.

I look to hold my stocks for as long as I can, so am not a daytrader.

For me the easier money is in the longer time frames, I'm yet to match the investing returns I get from property (hold forever) with the returns I'm getting in the financial markets.

Net connection is OK, about the same as Australia and half the price like most things here. I have a GPRS modem as a backup net connection, but as I'm an EOD trader this really isn't that important for me.

Very curious. Were you trading the SP during a certain dark dark Friday ... and black Monday in October 1987?

If so, was this the single wildest ride in the SP500 since then?

thank you for your generous reply.
