Dave, Wow, reading the messages written by you and Bill have been real eye openers. I am trying to decide whether to take another swing at day trading. I tried for about 2 months and found it to be very stressful and that I took losses very hard. I am having difficulty just walking away however. So far, I have lost money, certainly "real" money but not a crippling amount. I have decided to try paper trading with my broker and see how that goes, but to be honest, I'm a bit uneasy. My last trade, a month ago, was a large short which ran against me. I covered and the stock dropped 5 points later that day. My position was too large for comfort. Jeff
