<would you mind commenting on Pristine? I'm considering PDT, etc> Bobby, Pristine (www.pristine.com) is an excellent place to advance your stock-trading education - if you search this thread I think I've commented on them a few times. If you're looking for "hot picks" and internet trades, you may be a bit disappointed. Their stock-picking is a little conservative and slanted towards the generally more sensible, less-than-YHOO-volatility type of stocks. They strive to be regular hitters and are ALWAYS positioning themselves to be the profitable aggressors/survivors that take money out of the market almost every day. They won't take big risks. It's a very smart way to trade! The Pristine Day Trader (or Pristine Lite) is a good value. I saw the value primarily as educational, vs. stock picks so much, although those are good there are cheaper places to get just "picks"... the learns are priceless though and well worth the $. But to really learn from them, you need to take their 1 and 3 day seminars, and get into their Real-Time Room for a while - or, perhaps trade in their room out in White Plains. I studied their teachings for years (still do) and apply a lot of the principles Pristine preaches (and from many other sources of learning, of course), to trading YHOO, AMZN, INTC, CSCO, ATHM, JNPR, BRCD, etc. You would do yourself a favor by taking their training, following their advice and work slowly into the wilder stocks as you gain what they so aptly call "seasoning". The things you will learn there, are consistent with all of the great market "wisdom" you can find - it is NOT the B.S. material, as many courses/seminars/gurus are. Good luck, -Steve
