GMST I don't like here. I'd certainly lighten up on any reversal up. Something is amiss. My PnF story... Well, I thought I was all that because I had discovered trading and was trading StrataCom (remember them) rather well. Then I got caught up in a news story about Iomega and bought 1000 shares at what turned out to be the very tippy top. It then proceeded to turn into a teenager from there. I was also trading options later and did well with Cisco but died on Cascade. I watched CNBC regularly for some ideas (I hadn't figured out their ideas were always a day late and a dollar short) when this man came on TV. His name was Tom Dorsey. I listened and he was the first person that made any sense what so ever. He talked about market risk, stock position and option trading. Over that weekend I looked up Dorsey Wright on the internet to see if they had a site and they did. I found their phone number and even though it was a Sunday I called. Tom answered the phone. I was shocked and didn't know what to say but he was very nice and helpful. We talked for about an hour and he was going to hook me up with a broker that understood PnF. Well, I bought his book and read it a couple of times. It made such good sense I decided to get a subscription to DWA. It turned out Tommy needed some help with the internet so we exchanged emails daily and became friends. I learned directly from Tom and also gained a very good friend :-) I found I had a good grasp of PnF and was able to do my own account without a broker. I haven't looked back since. This was four years ago exactly, or is it five? No, four. I then made my way over to SI to see if anyone was talking about PnF and found no one was (even though there was a thread started), so I started the trend. I didn't know I would be teaching and consulting but here I am, loving every minute of it! That is pretty much my story. Ta da!
