:) ..so nice not to have to look over any charts but my own tonight...knowing that others are just doing their checking and getting ready for tomorrow. Isn't it amazing how teamwork can cut down the DD hours? And then tomorrow a.m. we might throw them out the window and end up trading early morning news ...I like it.

You just reminded me of the infomercial I watched as I was falling asleep at 3 am last night. On CNBC, after the Sue Herrera Show repeat, on came an infomercial that was truly unbelieveable, for a package called "Teach me to Trade". They had the cheery guy and perky woman with fake constant smiles telling you how you to could make $10,000, 15,000 or even 20,000 a day in the market. Over and over and over. Testimonials from a dozen traders that made it sound unbelievably easy, reading off their incredible profits from every day. And they kept repeating those too <g> Not ONE mention of potential losses until the end, where they mentioned "someone they knew" who almost lost EVERYTHING, but then made it all back with the "Teach Me to Trade" Program. The damn thing was so convincing I bet they get a thousand orders each time they run it. Only $99.95 and if you HURRY and call within 30 minutes you got an extra free whatever CD worth up to .....why pay thousands like most seminars and training courses cost, just order NOW <g>. Their gimmick was a software program for paper trading which acts like a real brokerage account. Not a bad idea, but we all know if we did nothing but papertrade we would all be paper millionaires. The missing emotional side of trading your own $$ makes it truly unrealistic. Scary to think of the people who ordered that package of at least twenty different items <g> including, your FREE TRADING DIARY, LOL. They actually have a website teachmetotrade.com
