hi michael,
i trade from home and am pleased with the "blow by blow" accounts.
i use waterhouse on the net so i am on the net and have e-mail most of the
day..
as to checking out my e-mail, i go to topic and delete if it is not of
interest.....about 3-5 minutes at most for 50-100 messages.
previous arguments with realtrader members was "monday morning
quarterbacking"
a couple of members seemed to call the days events after the fact....i don't
mention names....for the most part members have experienced this as well as
i have
i find the few members who tell us their calls before the fact are brave
(and a little crazy for letting themselves be praised and whipped).
good trading
rich t
