<.you and i both buy and hold too> Sure. When people ask me what I do for a living I tell them I'm an Internet Millionaire, I bought GE at $4.62 so I don't have to work. I follow what you are saying; day trading is a lot of work. Even if you only trade one instrument like I do. I've been working on longer term systems for over a year and finally I think I have one that may fit the bill. But unlike stocks there is a lot of risk holding positions overnight in the futures markets. Most traders I read won't do it, Mark Cook jumps to mind for example (in the SnP market anyway). oooooo, a guy from Solly just opined that AHP is a takeover candidate. I have a lot of that stuff. Unfortunately, I also have a lot of PG and I think that's the company people think is the potential acquirer. Win some, Lose more, I suppose. < too emotional to daytrade.> Regardless of the hype, it's not for everyone. That for certain. I've seen a lot of people blow up over the years and been on the brink myself more times than I care to think back on. You can always tell if I'm having a bad streak. I see it myself in my posts. You can't hold that in no matter how unemotional you may think you are.
