Hi Dave -
Sorry for the late reply. I never have had much luck in learning about currency trading although I've always been interested. Futures trading, however, is not a place I'm likely to go unless I have soybeans in my flowerpots.
I'll do some exploring once I finish my current online project (checking out promising web sites). My latest find is Quicken.com, newly improved and VERY dense with information. If you click on "insider trading," for example, you'll get a year's worth of insider trades for the company of your choice. Lag time is down to about a month.
I also spent Memorial Day watching an investor's conference on CNBC. There was much touting to wade through but I did pick up some points of interest. I'd really be interested in some discussion on the following assertions (straight from the talking heads):
1: Companies and analysts use chat boards both to gather information and, in the case of small companies, promote their stocks.
2. Online investors, by the end of the year, will be able to see ALL bid and ask prices instead of being limited to the price of the last trade only. They call this LEVEL II trading.
3. Last year 1/2 of new money flowing into mutual funds went into equity funds. Currently, most new money is going into money market funds.
4. Currently, interest rates are following the markets rather than leading them.
5. PC stocks are now trading like commodity stocks. Their high speed growth days are behind them.
6. A bear market is not likely to last more than 6 months.
7. The recent rise in the small caps has been due to a very small amount of money going into those companies. If they really do come back into favor, the growth will be explosive.
And now, having dumped this blizzard in my brain all over the AIM board, I think it's time for another nap.
JZzzzzzzzzzzz...
