>> Dear Fellow Trader:
>>
>> You are invited to join the LBRChat Room on Monday and Tuesday, and
>> participate in an educational class on SP trading, Monday after the
>> close.  Our trading room is always open on the first day of the month.
>> We are extending it this month, as Mark Cook will be our office guest
>> for the week, and will also be teaching after the close. On LBRChat,
>> we post analysis, educational notes, and our own trades throughout the
>> day in addition to supplying the jokes when times get slow!  If you get
>> a chance to drop in, go to the main chat site at:
>> http://www.mtrader.com/linda.htm    When it asks for a password, type
>> anything.  We start at 8:15, but the main commentary starts at 9:15 EST.
>>
>> We are also working with Moore Research Center, Inc. to expand our
>> website to include our daily transcripts from the chat sessions,
>> trade sheets and system entry signals, in addition to the results
>> of all our current research including system results and updated
>> statistics from the Street Smarts book.  We will let you know when
>> it is completed!
>>
>> Mark Cook and I will also be jointly teaching a 3-day real time fall
>> workshop called "Trading with an Edge".  It will be devoted to short
>> term trading and scalping techniques in the S&Ps and Bonds.  If you
>> are interested in more details you can go to:
>> http://www.mrci.com/lbr/daytrade
>>
>> If you wish to be deleted from our guest book, please reply to this
>> email with the word "REMOVE" entered as the subject.  We use your
>> e-mail registration to send out notices of new stories and postings to
>> our site.  We do not sell, rent, or lend out our list in any way!
>>
>> Best Wishes and I hope to see you on-line Monday!
