From the Washington Post article.... -snip- ".....Galbraith predicts that many people will realize that rapid-fire trading is self-defeating. "We expect to see a profound deceleration in trades in a period of lower market returns," Galbraith's report said. "The novelty factor of the Internet brokerage business is wearing off--and fast."

I still am long on EGRP....I think the novelty of this guy Galbraith is wearing off! MJC
