Steve, I may be in the area this Thu-Fri. If I could schedule a visit I'd appreciate it much. I've enjoyed your posts and find some of your arguments about daytrading / choice of brokers to be compelling. I currently use DLJDirect and am pretty happy - don't have anything to compare them with (other than Schwab for an IRA - don't trade in that). I plan to increase my daytrading activity and was planning to go the MB Trading route - then started reading your posts about Yamner. I want to make this decision by mid-week and get moving ahead, so perhaps you could make a comparison for me. I currently do max of two trades a day - I've been successful thus far by being able to sell-out my losers very quickly and ride the others. I'll be trading with around $20,000 and plan to continue the 2 trades a day. I have not been shorting at all, but plan to do so once I consistently paper-trade the short side well. I know that you have a bias toward Yamner, but from the tone of your posts I beileve that you'll give me some well-grounded advice. THanks in advance, Dave
