I tried level II once, lost $500.
In fact, I'm cutting back to just one trade a week
...or at least trying--yes, trading is very addictive.

Here is an idea, why not stop the trading alltogether,
and buy some cheap stocks to hold awhile? Radical!

Today I got disgusted when I realized that Biogen
has tripled in the last year. I have been knocking
myself out with daytrades in mainly the biotech sector,
and all I really needed to do was to buy some large
cap momentum play like Biogen?! I could have had the
same return on my money--and not given up $3k to etrade!

I have a "one trade a week thread". Anybody trying to
cut back on their trading is welcome to come over and
confess...here is the url to the latest post there.
