No offense towards tradergirl but I feel compelled to make a few comments
about this thread. Although we all like to get a free hotdog from time to
time, fair pay for a fair product and fair pay for honest work is the
American way (and many other places for that matter). Everybody working for
free, and getting everything for free has been tried and it doesn't/can't
work!
Almost nothing is truly free, even those "best" things.
Thomas Jefferson may have said that, but he surely didn't do it (meaning
have a revolution every three years), did he. Even he realized that chaos
has it's limits. He didn't give away his property either.
The field of investing has probably had more theft, fraud and skulduggery
than anything else. The promise of easy big money makes people do silly
things. Like buy hundreds of dollars worth of lottery tickets when they
can't pay the rent.
We as investors have a problem, that is, how to get real value for our
investment. It only stands to reason that 90%+ of the people that bought
TradeStation, data, hardware, etc. not only lost that investment but also
lost in the markets as well because that is the industry's winner/loser
percentages. That is pretty hard to stomach when looking at fair price for a
fair return of value. TradeStation is a tool and as a tool it is way over
priced IMO. They cannot guarantee that you will make money using it. Few
investors should buy it until they thoroughly understand the business, the
risks, themselves, etc.
