Stops- Whats the smallest increment you can set on your Ameritrade platform W/ a stop limit order?
Scottrade has a 16 cent minimum on stop limits. That gets out of line on some fastmoving stuff in larger lot sizes.
What you done well on this year?
Did May 11th bite you, what a trip that was?
You play short side too?

Laugh if you want but I have a 14-16% return on my portfolio every year. Completely blows away a savings account.

Im guessing' he runs about about $400K acct by the rules he plays by and %ages he shoots over to me.
Hes taught me a incredable amt of stuff, but the more I learn, the scarier it gets.

There's a WebSite Something like ... Pristine.com he turned me on to w/ lots of good free (and pay)
info. They break down trades and analyze them.

Nothing like the thrill of riding a wining Trade. ;D Right up there w/ Deep Powder Skiing, SuperBikes & Hot Women!

Definitely, the only reason I have a saving account is to keep from accidential overdraws on my personal account. Sometimes, my shopping sprees get out of control..... ;D

Everyone should at least have some additional investments and not put all of your eggs in one basket
