#10 on the hot list is a thread with 1 message I remember reading somewhere that, besides posting, both reading messages and bookmarking are counted as "hits." Dave

oX, No doubt the trading educational and business community is in its own bear market. What's really dangerous for many of them (brokers, trainers, etc) is that they expanded rapidly and leased a ton of new equipment & office space, as well as hiring new employees. This overhead has to be paid off every month but the chain letter has sort of broken for the time being. I would be very surprised if we don't hear of a few prominent closures in the next few months. As for me, I wanted to write a book that will be bought 5 years from now as well as next week. Nison, Schwager, Murphy, Elder etc are still getting very nice royalties going into their 2nd decade of publication. I also am a bit more insulated due to the classic approach. My web site traffic and course sales are down, but not substantially. I do nice international sales (something you can't do with a focus on ECNs and Level II, etc). I also have a fiercely loyal supporters, God bless them. Having said that, I still wish this was 1997 <g>. Alan
