Michael, from my own experience, there isn't much to trade during lunch hours. Shares tend to open higher, that is why I like to buy at the end of the day - they then like to dip, offering another buying opportunity around 10:20 or so, until 11:30 when the "Street" crowd is said to go to lunch and hit their own computers, when some shares tend to rise again. After that it is pretty quiet until after 3pm when the next morning "gappers" unfold ........... All this being EST of course, grin ....

If you can do it at work, I'd do that for a while to get a better feel. A perfect situation! You might get crushed and think "Thank god I have a regular job" or you might say "Loook how much I've made, how would I have done if I was 100% focused?" That is the conflict.

Re: Trading from Hawaii or on a voyage. The traders I know have 2 17" screens giving them lots of data -- kinda makes the stateroom crowded doesn't it?, and the time difference from Waikiki is 5 hours I believe, so you would be starting your day at 4AM (9 ET). I'm not trying to be a wise guy, and you are right about the state of communication today, but I welcome to trade against us in our offices with just your cell phone. I'll eat your lunch. <g>
