Hi tekgk; Yep. You don't even have to have any trading to destroy wealth. BRE.X didn't have to trade in order for its owners to lose it all. I think a lot more people are in cash than is obvious. I have found one more at work who is, another grizzled engineer. My day-trading class has 4 days gone by. I can now buy and sell (in demo mode) nasdaq stocks using four different techniques: SOES, ISLD, ECNs, and Select-Net. The terminal is normally run without any use of a mouse. This allows touch-typing, in order to minimize execution delays. You can place trades with an amazing speed, and you have a visiblity of what is happening in the rest of the market that is hard to imagine. For instance, you know whether Goldman-Sachs is buying or selling a particular issue. It is major cool. I expect to be sitting behind a high speed level 2 nasdaq screen the next time the market goes into major oscillation mode, and I expect to surf it on both sides. :) Wish me luck. -- Carl
