Want to repost this event coming up tomorrow and Tuesday. Once again, I have no affiliation but the forum contract holder is a friend and it sounds like an interesting show. BTW The Investors Forum is the oldest on-line investment board that I know of. It's been around since 1983. Non-members can participate using this link: go.compuserve.com The Investors Forum [Go Invforum] is proud to present a double-header series of live chats on June 1 & 2 at 7 PM Eastern. Two noted authors of recent books have agreed to appear live in the Investors Forum to discuss the use of home computers and day trading in today's market. Our first guest is an experienced trader with over 20 years experience in the pits and a funny guy to listen to with anecdotes about the brawls on the trading floor. You've also seen him on CNN and CNBC. The next night, we'll feature a successful trader who brings a new perspective to the trading arena. Here is the particulars of each guest and their appearance: GUEST: Lewis J. Borsellino Author of the New Book The Day Trader: From the Pit to the PC PUBLISHED BY: John Wiley & Sons wiley.com Chat Subject: Reading the Day Trade Market Live in the Investors Forum Bull and Bear Lounge Conference (Chat) Room Tuesday, June 1 7 pm Eastern / 4 pm Pacific Day trading is risky business. A trader isn't in the market for the long haul; they make money on momentary fluctuations. In his new book, The Day Trader (John Wiley & Sons), Lewis Borsellino describes the rough-and-tumble world of trading in the pits at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, where he once made over a million dollars in 30 seconds. Join us tonight as Mr. Borsellino shares his secrets for that most precious of trading talents: reading where the market is headed, minute by minute. Welcome Mr. Borsellino! INTRODUCTION: Lewis J. Borsellino is the King of the Day Traders. He worked his way up the Chicago Mercantile Exchange over the last two decades, starting as a runner before specializing in trading in S&P 500 futures contracts. A frequent commentator for CNN and CNBC, Borsellino is widely regarded as "the biggest and best trader" in S&Ps. Day trading is risky business. A day trader isn't in the market for the long haul; they usually settle their positions every day. They make their money on momentary market fluctuations. When they lose money, they lose it fast. When they win, they win big. In his new book, The Day Trader (John Wiley & Sons), Borsellino describes making over a million dollars in 30 seconds during the stock market crash of 1987. He immediately went to the bathroom and threw up. On Tuesday, June 1 beginning at 7 PM Eastern, Lewis will be in the Investors Forum Bull and Bear Lounge chat room to talk to us about the uncanny skill he has for reading the market -- sensing points of support and resistance and using that instinct to make millions. In his book, he talks about how he learned this skill by following the trades of Merc superstars. Today, new traders watch Lewis to see which way the market is going. Here's your chance to learn from his experience yourself. GUEST: Christopher A. Farrell Author of the New Book Day Trade Online PUBLISHED BY: John Wiley & Sons wiley.com Chat Subject: Day Trading for the Home Investor Live in the Investors Forum Bull and Bear Lounge Conference (Chat) Room Wednesday, June 2 7 pm Eastern / 4 pm Pacific Day trading is the hottest thing to hit the Internet since eBay. Five years ago, day traders were hard-core market specialists working the exchanges in Chicago and New York. Today, anyone can use online brokerages to make money in minutes the way day traders do. Join us for a chat with Chris Farrell, author of Day Trade Online (John Wiley & Sons), to find out how YOU can get in the day trade game without losing your shirt to the big, established players. INTRODUCTION: Chris Farrell runs Farrell Asset Management, LLC, and is founder of the Farrell Preferred Stock Arbitrage Fund, LP. Chris Farrell has traded over 15 million shares of stock online, producing a 65% return on his fund in one year. Chris Farrell is 25 years old. What Chris Farrell does is called "day trading" -- buying and selling stocks over the course of a day, holding them for perhaps only seconds, making money on slight fluctuations in price. Thanks to online trading, the exciting, lucrative, and risky world of the day trader is now available to anyone. Unfortunately, most new traders have just enough knowledge to lose their shirts the first few weeks. Farrell is the author of the new book, Day Trade Online (John Wiley & Sons). He will be in the Investors Forum Bull and Bear Lounge chat room to help us learn how to keep our shirts after a day of trading. He will explain why some investors are at a disadvantage trading NASDAQ, but can make steady profits on the NYSE. And maybe he'll tell us about the time he lost $12,000 over 24 hours, so we won't have to learn the hard way.
