<<"Robet had a 50% gain on this stock in a matter of days, when it went from about 10 to 20" I've always heard Lawyers become Lawyers because they flunk out of engineering school. Now I see why. 10 to 20 is 50% move? I know stores would calculate their % mark up the way you did, but in an investment, I think most would call that a 100% gain. "Do you realize where WCII would have to go for you to come up with that type of gain?" Yeah, I just calculated it for you. If Robet could do that every week for a year, WinStar would have to go to $45,035,996,273,705,000.00. You'd be as rich as Bill Gates in 32 weeks if you only bought one share last week. I can't imagine what you guys are still doing playing the market if you can do returns like that very long. I know, you do it cause you love it. PS are you trading full time now? Still using Brown and Robet still calling orders in, or have you guys moved on to a Real Tick III or similar platform?>> Actually my math has always been very good, however 5 hrs sleep a night gets to me, that combined with a nice trip to the dentist before that post did me in. Ya i still use brown, also etrade and datek. I use track on line and real tick III. Trading full time. I always hated having to wear monkey suits to work anyway. Now I get out of bed, pry open my eyes and go into my office each day, what a pleasure. Moving to FL soon, bought a house there, and am selling my house in IL. Didn't you see me in those magazines last month?
