*Off Topic - Free Quotes* Yes, it appears that DBD gives free quotes no matter what the level of trading activity. I tend to get at least a couple of hundred a day when I have time to watch what is going on. Unlike Schwab, one must request them one at a time, however. I have never been charged for quotes by them. I was in about 15 different stocks and was down to about 8 late in the week. I agree with you on the necessity to broaden. I also DID get taken out by extraordinary 1-day rises in AFFX, EXAC, NETA and EFII this past week where it would have been MUCH better to have held. EXAC went up about 35% Friday, EFII up from about 20 to 28 in a week, AFFX about 15% in a day and NETA ran from about 65 to as high as 72 during the week before settling back. I would sure like to see that happen to some of my languishing losers soon (TECH, XETA, VGINF, MLNM, MDYN, ABSC, FONR), all of which trade in relatively narrow ranges but have been more resistant to dropping off the table.
