Ron,

<The best daytrading teachers are too busy to teach much>

That's not necessarily true. Some of us don't find the gratification we need just swimming around the shark tank all day. The money's very nice but it's real lonely, boring, tedious etc etc much of the time. I have a strong writing and speaking background and find my web site and educational work to be -much- more satisfying than trading itself most of the time.

Also I give a ton of material away for free. That comes from years of working for Head Start and other heavy volunteer work. With trading such a egocentric game, "giving back" is one way I keep my balance.

I should admit that my work has, for the first time, gotten popular enough that we're actually charging for some products. Great! Writing and speaking keep my blood pressure down. That makes my doctor very happy. If I can supplement my (profitable) trading with profitable educational materials, perhaps I'll be able to maintain my balance and never burn out on the pressure of the grind.
