<<Keith, there was a story a few months ago on a N.Y. cab driver who day-trades between fares.>> Jon, Have you noticed, there is a huge subculture of Deli-owners, taxi-drivers (etc.) who trade very actively... some of them do quite well (and some NOT, I'm sure) -- they appear to have become the "bucket shops of the new Millenium". I was in a sandwich Deli in SFO a few weeks ago, and noticed that the guy had a close, almost obsessive eye on CNBC and was using the phone frequently. There have been a lot of articles about this phenomena. This is not your Father's stock market, and it's not just the Yuppies & X'ers trading it -- those hard-working recent immigrants may even out-trade us sometimes, without the benefits of our fancy charts/indicators!! <G> God bless this great country...
