""But you know, I was more consistently successful when I did not have the time to get into trouble on my own."" ;-)) Gosh knows that getting past the point of trading for the sake of it was a major breakthrough for me too. The early stages of on-line trading will be riddled with the carcasses of hyper-trading accounts gone to zero. I dropped 70% of my capital before finally taking trading seriously. Once I limited myself to high percentage trades ...well I don't have to tell you. The advertising by brokerages promising easy riches should be put to a halt for the sake of all concerned. But sex sells and getting rich easy is sexy. hee hee, Rob Morrris, I 'm not sure Anthony is open to discussion of the rate structure, but knowing him he will be happy to hear reasonable comments and suggestions. At first glance of Jimmy's one price fits all suggestion, K.I.S.S. sounds sensible to me. In any event, I look forward to getting started. Once we get to more short selling again, it will be especially good to be private. I find that often when a short sale call is made , the immediate selling by longs who see the call makes it tougher to get an uptick at a good price. Regards Andy

If you are a full-time trader and are playing with, say, $100,000, $1000 a month for the quality picks is a bargain any way you look at it. Even if you are not a day trader, $85 a month is very reasonable. If nothing else, look at it as tuition. One year of undergrad at a private university costs $30,000 these days, or $3750 a month (8 month school year). If you happen to choose something that's not technical or applied, you may pay $120,000-$150,000 for four years so you can graduate to work at Burger King. People pay $5000+ for database courses and $6000+ for MSCE training. Think about that.
