Hi - I have been investing since 1983. I finally got tired of getting killed with a Buy-And-Hold strategy with mutual funds. I have been searching since the 2008 cave-in. I now believe the use of stops "would have" saved me everytime there was a major market downturn. Although stocks, bonds and options [compared to mutual funds] require a greater responsibility, on my part, I think the intraday pricing will be beneficial. It will probably take me quite a few years to get back the 29% bath I got in 2008/2009. I am a 59 yr/old optimist and look forward to improving my investing skills. God bless all - every one - Tom

Have you ever been to the oldest trader chat on the Internet. Been around since 1995! It might help you get back some of that 29%. Best of trading!

AvidTrader is not very upfront about not being a free service until you have subscribed. - Tom

As was explained to TeePeeB in a private email sent to him is that its been free, but due to market conditions we have asked the members for a fee when we have it set up to accept credit cards. Which as of now they are not set up yet.

I guess TeePeeB feels the need to bash AvidTrader in this forum on top of an email to us. No problem we have deleted his account as requested.

All the best trading to you TeePeeB........
