ZF, My personal ET for trading in the wingtips for slippers is now down to weeks. Like you, working costs me $$ in lost trading ops. As soon as my trading desk at home is fully functional I plan to take a weeks "vacation" to trade, and based on the results of this test, decide to change jobs from XYZ Securities Corp to Fast Eddie Trading Co. Good luck to us both!! Fast Eddie

<<Rub it in, Hammy! ...actually, my job KEEPS me from making any real money in the market...I'm afraid to leave my shorts unattended>> Well ZenFaust I'll tell you a story which will explain why I quit my "job" I used to work as an independent consultant (manage large databases for big 100 companies). While on the job watching other peoples affairs and their money I would be ignoring my stocks. So much so that i was unable to react to sudden changes in the market. On one occasion in 1997 (October) it cost me about $100K in one day. For that day my "job" paid about $600. I went home, surveyed the damage and swore not to ever let that happen again. I know its possible for me to lose that much in one day...but not while I'm taking care of other people's affairs. So thats my story. Its great to work in a T-shirt and jammies dude. Its..GRRRREAT!!!
