<<<I am just amused that somebody would brag about 1/2 point gain on Yahoo (0.59%) where practically if not all the gains go to the broker. Good Luck on your investment style.>>> PAL, I trade 1,000 shares, any price, for $30. Schwab. There are others much cheaper, i.e. Datex for $10. A half-point in and out on a daytrade of 1,000 shares is $500 minus $20-60. Larger trades and traders often pay less, (of course I'm ignoring the spread, which you should never really do on the NASD) Point being that $450 a trading day, without payroll taxes, would be the equivalent of about a $90,000 annual income. Nothing to be ashamed of, and a half-point gain is better than any loss. I don't daytrade, but if I did, YHOO would be a great one, until these lower volume days and consolidation. At this point the BB's are coming back together, could break out either way. William H., I haven't forgotten your question about my strategy. Will answer soon when I can do it justice. Good Luck to all. Zebra
