I just called VMIX Investor Relations for their prospectus. Web site has a lot of info BTW, I don't have any right now. Didn't pull any triggers today. I get itchy when I'm holding all cash and I let ones that I looked at closely get away. Of course, that's when I'm vulnerable to making a mistake. I don't mind so much re. the IPO's, and others that I haven't keyed into. But when a winner is literally under my index finger and I chicken out, that bugs me--well, not as much as losing on a trade. Maybe I do need to break down and get Level 2. Dale, you promise to help me decipher it? Actually, I think I copied somewhere (off the Chicago Exchange website?) a complete description with a sample screen and explanation. I also found some good rules of thumb about day trading. I'll try to dig that up as well. It's all common sense, but it's easy to let common sense go out the window when a stock has made a big move and you want to get in on the action--only to find everybody bailing after you make the commitment. Darn day job. Well, maybe this IS more than a hobby. Jim
