Lizzard, I will not comment on "fools", cause I is one, but I will comment on "free which aint". I notice that Signal internet is offering free NASDAC Level II. It is free, except that you have to pay the "exchange fee" which is $50 per month. If I subscribe to their service and add on all the exchanges that I would like to look at and gosh, what is the bottom line--Astronomical for a small guy like me. Watch the "free" stuff!! Another concern is compatibility with the persons present software. I wonder if we could among us open a side discussion of information providers and individual experience with them. I would also appreciate experience with real time software and providers of service with those. I am mostly operating on an EOD basis with stocks, but I do have real time access to commodity information which is where I live. Do not get me wrong here, I am pretty much small time in that too. Not yet trading 1000 contracts in the S&P or T-bonds or etc. Just asking for input from "Traders" and their experience with their software and information. Best regards to all "Traders" and wishing all good Trading!! I would be looking to short the current internet "Tulipmania", but wish to not provide guidance here for more experienced traders. Markets move up and down, and what is up will go down and some of what is down will go up. What we look for is to sort the ups from the downs. I am a basic contrarian. I can say no more. I like to see excess, and then take the opposite position. Sometimes, I time it right, and sometimes, I do not. I am rather off thread here, but sometimes in a short term thread, it might be advisable to perhaps look at a longer term view, and that is all that I will say here. Regards to you here and good trading!! Jack R. Smith Jr.

my favorite stock, TDFX being bashed by lzrd.. argh! I better make sure the money I made off this one is real :) heh. Actually, I agree its highly speculative but there is no denying that TDFX is an incredible trade. I cant tell you the money I have made trading this stock. Sorry nobody listened... Tdfx has a name for itself in the industry. They are the leader thru 98 which is just about as far as this sector can look. Its in its infancy but right now TDFX is probably the best play available. The motley fool. People actually listen to these 2 meatballs. They didnt mention that TDFX lockup ended today. Lots of shares were available to sell and sell they did. That combined with Intels news (old news) and the price tanks. Unless theres something im missing that will soon be announced, this stock has just become dirt cheap. Anyhow- this is my analysis. High risk, high reward, TDFX is the best horse in the group and ill trade this until it crashes. Wallstreet is 2 steps behind on this company since day 1 and when it catches me? hell, they can have the 1/8 of the profit im trading with now.. Oh by the way Lzrd, thanks for alerting me to that wonderful gem known as EPIQ.. sold my pile at 14 1/4 today. I still think its going to move upward but changes in the bankruptcy rules has me worried so why get greedy? Im still holding FORE. I will sell tomorrow regardless of 19 or not. I took a chance on EPIQ thru earnings and got lucky, I cant do it 2 times in 1 week.
