re: gsw - easy? you're kidding! You've gotta be kidding, right? Unless you're the one with the crystal ball everyone's been chasing for a while. I'm real new to investing (let alone trading) and trying to 'buy on the low, sell on the high' is working for a whole lot of people, but one of them isn't me (so far). One example - I sold off 1/3 of my VCR on Friday - knowing full well that the news this week was going to be looking good, but the share price dropped.....stop loss was triggered....SELL. S**T! Knew I should have held and I could have done a lot better than the 10% I got- but I guess I could have done worse, too. And a lot of the ones I've bought as they were coming up peaked just when I bought them and consequently dived again. Run with the profits - great idea, if you can, and there's no major ann in the middle of the day. Still, I guess life's a learning curve, and somewhere along the line I'll either make some decent money with stocks or kill myself trying.

I must say though, I do find HC much more informative than other's I've gotten on to. Most people actually seem to know what they're on about - or they're just really good at bluffing. And they're pretty good about coaching the newbies along too. Thanks everyone!
