Lee, The first thing I thought when I read that NY Times article was, "Oh, man, Lee must have ghost-written some of this." I laughed like hell at, "What would Arnold do right now?" And the next time I feel the fear, I'll think, "So much for the ninja thing." How much do you suppose that guy who made 1,000 trades in a single day pays in commissions? The author's description of his own day-trading experience was just priceless. You're right about Dave v. Jenna: Dave's world sounds like sheer chaos, compared to Gem-land. I loved the Hefty bags line: a fond reminder of my bachelor days! Obviously, the author should have spent more time watching Squawk Box. How on earth could he have missed Kathleen "The Bond Belle" Hays? Is David Faber really called "The Brain" because he plays the dolt? You'd think the guy was a Wall Street analyst, with such shoddy research. Thanks, Lee! nytimes.com

Lee, the other comment which needs to be made about the NY times piece is that "dave" is missing one of the central props of effective trading, namely, COMMUNITY. He is all on his own, he tried what sounded like some goofy rooms on the net and then decided he was better off solo. For myself, I love the MG thread, and real time interaction with other traders using ICQ, as well as other sources of interaction. It allows one to sift through other ideas and perspectives and therefore to learn and grow. Just my two cents.
