"..I would imagine that you make a lot more money by trading than teaching.." Yes, this is why I stopped doing the real time room, and went to teaching mode. I have a deal with my other half that operating expenses from the free web site is not subsidized by my trading income, so this is the only way to do it. I don't want to charge people to use the site, including the new stock tool in development, or annoy them with useless banners. Instead, I will offer people something of value that they can choose to pay for. That was my reasoning. Right now, the site runs on three servers, at more than $10,000 a pop, by the way. One with Oracle database, one ColdFusion server, and one for God knows what... Teresa PS. Thanks for joining!
