Again Ollie .. it's a "suggestion" to take profits! Maybe that's why you lost $$$. Maybe you didn't consider taking profits often enough. Maybe you were too busy chasing most every call and were overloaded with positions. DO you have any idea as to how ISLD used to trade? Them suggesting to take money off the table is good ... and if you choose to not do so you can (a) either see profits disappear if it starts to decline or (b) make more $$$ if it continues its run. The log you posted is certainly not illegal from what I read.

< Why don't you explain why anyone would pay $500/month to an investment adviser in order to ignore the calls >

LOL. $500/month equates to $25/day. In 1999 you could throw darts and make more than enough to pay any subscription fees. You truly make no sense. You bitch about all the calls they made. You act as though because you paid $$ you were supposed to follow all the calls. If you were any kind of "securities trader" you'd not be so (a) naive (b) gullible (c) stupid .. as to think you needed to read their "suggestions" as mandatory buy (sell) calls. You continually dig a deeper hole that you can't get out of. And "stop losses" make perfect sense.

You were a losing trader .. end of story. Day trading is a losing proposition for probably 90% of those who try. You were one of those. You just apparently chose to hang around and lose more $$$ than others.
