i said "hundreds of transactions a DAY", not a quarter.
i'm not investing from a child's piggy bank, and i use a cable modem so there's no need to have 4 lousy ISPs as backup.
get your facts straight before you spew, big boy.
regarding the "one stock thread" issue, one thing you HAVEN'T learnt about S.I. is that member profiles only show the most recent posts, but i've been a member since 03/19/98, i used to post very often in the AAPL (made tons of money with that one last year), AMZN, CMGI, and other assorted threads.
but EGRP is the stock i like best, though this thread is not at all lively.
the thing is i don't have time to follow many threads, i've given up on AMZN since it's impossible to keep up with it, i like the "calmer" pace with this one.
regards

i suggest you get yourself a decent high bandwith connection (via cable or something else) instead of the dozen lousy backup ISPs you now have.
unless, of course, you're investing from a coin purse, in which case, it's not really worth it.
