...I want to shut my detractors up... I hope you realize that your detractors are going to say: "Oh it's easy to turn that 132K into a Million when the market goes up 2K points in 6 months. Now if you're a real Man; you'll do it when the market goes down that far in 6 months." BirdDog@they'llneverquit.com

Didn't realize you were so much of a trader. I look at it this way, if I'm going to day trade, I'm going to do index futures. I've found I see where they are going much easier than any particular stock. Sometimes, you are playing the guy that goes down while the market rises. I've been watching allan play the Naz futures on the CFZ for about 6 months now and he's damn good. Better than anyone I've seen playing a single issue. I think the market as a whole is just easier to see in a short term horizon, not to take any credit away from him. I mostly position trade options on individual stocks. A few trades a week. I'm all tied up now with zero capital until the new year until I can unwind a few cross trades. But for the hell of it, I'll watch what you're doing tomorrow although I may have to duck out of the casino early to get on the road for the holiday's....
