Jack,

I'm a long term investor because 1) this strategy has worked well for me so far and 2) I don't have the time or talent to be a successful trader.

You have been a successful trader for many years and I am already learning from your posts. Since day trading is a full time job, I'm wondering if the long term total return from trading is greater than the return I'm now receiving from my full time job and investing (on which I spend a few hours a week). In other words, if I thought I could consistently earn a higher return day trading stocks I would try to learn all I could about trading in hopes of one day selling my business and becoming a day trader. If trading does not not yield a consistently higher return than investing, then I would be wasting my time learning about it.

To help answer the above question, would you be so kind to post somewhere the specific options you are buying or selling after you have made the transaction?

Since you have such a large following, you might consider starting your own website. You might find that you have enough "hits" to attract some advertising money from brokerage houses etc. It worked for the "Motley Fools", why not you. Just an idea....

Thanks and "Good Trading",

Lee
