THREAD SUMMARY
THRU POST 2602
Quote of the Week (Carl): “A difficult thing that a trader must learn is to find an "edge" in some part of the market. Having found an edge, the next difficult thing is to learn to play within that edge, while exploring other possibilities.”
Honorable Mention (KM): “I saw a picture of Ellison's home in Marin County in one of the shelter porn mags.” => No task is too arduous for our dedicated thread contributors in search of new sources for daytrading ideas! <ggg>
(***) => New addition
