Barbara, Sounds like we all could use some lessons from this guy.

I have a few questions. Answers to any would be appreciated.
I have asked quite a few, so, don't worry about answering them all ...

I am curious what kind of system he has and where he picked up his trading skills.
Has he worked for a trading firm?
Did he get started in one of the day trading rooms?
How long has he been trading full time?

Do you know who he now executes his trades through?
What kind of strategy does he now employ?
Is he mainly into shorting overvalued stocks, and if so,
is that a new focus for him as of the April trend reversal?
Does he play the SOES game, Options, Equities, or Futures?

Does he pay any attention to fundamentals at all .. or
does he just watch the charts? Since I doubt he spends
any time on the message boards, how does he identify
prospects for his trades? Does he make notes before the
market opens and then play the big stories of the day?

What kind of system does he use?
Does he have 5 computers all networked together with a T1 line?
Is he on Windows NT, Windows 98, or what?

How long has he been at it?
Does he have a long track record of highly profitable trading?

What kind of capital does he have available to trade?
It's one thing if he makes 150K a day on a 3 million
base, and it is quite another if he is making 150K a day
on a 1 million base.
