We have a watch list/Earnings plays subscription also don't forget that alternative so you don't have to fork over that kind of money.. for the measly price of $69 a month you can have a well researched watch list, charts and soon intraday updates (which we had for over a year but we are revamping them, so don't get excited. I am not a diehard advocate of the trading forum method or the do it yourself method, but I can say that "I do windows" what that means is that just to be able to go out at night and have someone else do the dirty work is a service that some people like and we have quite a loyal following that could have left anytime, because we are not the roach motel. Man, I am like you an ordinary trader who learned some stuff by trail and error. I did not run a bank, nor was I the right hand man of Greenspan or even have a degree in finance, I never lectured at St George University in Finance but I learned in the 'trenches'..failing, falling, getting up and trying again until I got it right. Starting at www.daytraders.org confused the heck out of me with scrolling text and picks all day. Then I went the other route and read every book on trading and investing I could lay my hands on and got essentially the same results as the website except now I was full of 'education' but didn't know how to apply it. So the organization can help and sometimes people learn to trade and move on from a trading forum. Sometimes they stay. Depends on what you want.. and how long it takes you to achieve it. No real big deal.. as for the split personality, I asked SI to get me a moderated thread but they opted to deny me so I figured I'd move lock stock and barrel and eventually the rest of the furnishing to this thread. I have enough of a hard day, I really don't like coming home to a habitual nuisance,the same one for months now. I have been SI for over 3 1/2 years but if it takes a moderated thread to divest oneself of this and everyone else gets one.. heck I want one too! Never needed one in 3 1/2 years but now I think we do. Seems that 'older and established threads' don't get the same privileges like new threads. I've seen dozens of them moderated and now I see why.
