<PS : When I call Norms for Updates on the stocks throughout the day I can always tell when My Track or NDB is down >

When MyTrack is working - it is amazing. NDB is usually great but executions come slow sometimes. It is essential to have at least 2 sources. Online brokerages have a smaller vision in terms of the popularity of their services then what they have grown into.

MyTrack had their contest running on the same server as their main trading business. Thank G-d the rocket scientist at MyTrack finally moved the contest to another service. The problems 2 weeks ago cost me at least 10 grand and we all know what ten grand can become when the market has the momo thing going on - probably 25 to 50K.

I am actually considering having short term (momo) stuff with MyTrack and having some of the same positions in NDB for longer term and have access to both or "either or".

We are pioneers in this game and that's the way it is. I will take my chances with online brokers over full service (expensive and slow) brokerages everyday of the week.

Topfuel - I am looking forward to the day when you join us as a full time trader. It is the best decision I ever made and of course the network we have here really helps - and you all know who you are.

Bragging Rights - My 10 year old daughter Jennifer just took Gold and Silver Medals this weekend in her Ice Skating Competition in New Jersey.

That makes 8 medals in 8 events. I can't even begin to tell you how proud we are. She is going to do an artistic interpretation of Cyndy Lauper's "True Colors" for Lake Placid in January 2000 at the Regionals. Man, oh man - I could have never done anything close to that when I was 10....lol.

Last year some idiot in her school yard threw a rock which hit her eye and caused some permanent vision damage. At the same time - she struggles in school with a slight learning disability. What's really cool is that she let's none of this stop her. Her achievements in ice skating will eventually spill over into all areas of her life.

In life - everything is possible and that is a Beeeeeutiful Thing!
