Ken: Re. software: Ever hear of TC2000, what do you think? Trade station is thousands. Anyhow, I use the mouse click method of getting instant quotes. It's real easy, subscribe to Schwab, set up your stocks to watch, then constantly click the mouse button to update the instant info. Then, when you see the stock swing in a favorable manner, quickly switch screens and enter the trade. This sounds really easy doesn't it? It isn't, one has to put in hours of practice by clicking the mouse button and not missing the target.<VBG> As a matter of fact, when I can't sleep, I just get up and click the mouse button.<VBG> The problem with clicking the mouse button, in an expert manner, is that, sometimes the button clicks so fast that you can't take back the click, it's too late, that darn mouse just finalized a trade before you can stop it. Then, after realizing the mistake, the mouse has to be released to counter the bad trade, by then, it's too late you end up stuck in a lousy situation, even holding stocks you no longer want. Can you relate to this? I hope you can, cause that's where I am, stuck at the bottom and watching my tech stocks bounce up and down like a yo yo. I can't trade, the bounces are too fast. I thought that this input would be of value to other investors/traders like me, that don't take the easy way out and subscribe to services and software to help them make wise investment decisions. My method doesn't produce great results all of the time, however; the mouse clicking sure keeps those fingers in shape.<VVVVVBG> Hats off to Nextel, finally showing some stability in a crazy market. Jimmyo and PHG, carry on for me, I am stuck somewhere else and refusing to budge, at even a slight loss. My mouse is getting really stale and unused lately, wish I was back in Nextel. Ken: keep those predictions coming, any chance of 26 again? NO, you say? I didn't think so either, so what's a good entry point now? Regards from Al G. still on the floor looking for a small elephant, the big problem, most small elephants are related to the computer industry and are sucking bad air and can't grow up.
