Jury, OH No, I've been unmasked!
Until late last year, in addition to my accounting hat, I was a registered investment advisor. I didn't like the paper the financial services field generates. If you got a stock in 15 accounts and see it, you get 15 pieces of paper you got to account for. Then when you buy a new stock, you get 15 more pieces of paper to account for. I like the research aspect of the field, not the paper-generating side.
From Feb 15 to April 15, I work 90-100 hours a week. All posts to the thread during this period were done in my very limited "spare" time. I had made the decision in Dec to get ready to become a trader with a kick-off date of 5/1. Its almost here.
Now, I'm free for the next 9 months. I only have a minor commitment to a cyber-newsletter on my model portfolio picks each month. Thus, I've set it up that my livlihood will shortly depend on my trading ability. I appreciate all here for having contributed to my knowledge to make this day possible.
As you can see, I'm taking as much effort on choosing a broker as I would take on choosing a stock.
Thanks for your contribution of the one share of MRK. I will treasure it until I sell it! <g>
