Ken, There is a real interesting hypocrisy when it comes to the swing trading thing. For all the talk the last year about the move from day trading to swing, no one was pushing it at the Expo at all (except for Oliver's tape from the last Expo). The bottom line is that the B/Ds and software vendors take home a lot more money when their clients overtrade and day trade. If you type in "day trading" at AMZN, you get 64 entries. If you type in "swing trading", you get only 5. BTW (and this isn't a solicitation), AMZN is showing my book as the 2nd most popular swing trading book at the site, behind Tony's 1st book. I'm sure that will change. There are only so many hard-core Farley fans out there that just can't wait to hit the one-click <g>. Alan
