>Maybe it's what you do when MBT or Cybertraders or NASDAQ's quotes fail and I have $500k in open positions. - Mark If I had half a mil in the above situation, the word might start with an "s" - but "scramble" would not be it! :) jb

I walked out of the seminar in the middle of the third day. I learned that several others walked out after I did. There were only about twenty attending altogether. So, at least 15% walked out early. One fellow who stayed sent me an email explaining the "scramble" that occurred during the final two days. Here is his description: "....It's probably good you did leave early though. As stupid as the running in place stuff was, it got worse. Robin did what she called "scrambles". She had one guy saying "I can't lose" in a high mickey mouse voice while walking backwards and wiggling his hands in front of this face. On the last day she asked for volunteers to do this as a group. Nine guys volunteered. Needless to say, I watched. Really strange." All this and not one words about studying stock charts. The "advanced daytrading strategies" consisted primarily of looking at a stock box and watching the price levels go up and down. Gee. Oh, and the usual "buy low" stuff we seem to hear so much. And I believe this seminar was priced at something like $1,495, not to mention the travel expenses involved for a week in New Hampshire and the loss of one's time. Be extremely careful when buying a seminar. Anyone can give them.
