Hi,

The truth is, I'm not earning a living. My wife, who is in engineering at Motorola, is supporting me (and helping out two kids and seven grand-kids), while I inch my way closer and closer to success in business; once Stone Digital Media LLC (our little startup) acheives success in business, then I'll pay my wife back for what she's done for us. We're now in year six of this experiment. Fortunately, we're both highly stable people with, apparently, infinite patience for our mistakes and the mistakes of others.

Have you seen the Usenet newsgroups devoted to various aspects of trading? They're highly active and populated by people who are willing to share their expertise--and equally willing to cut the numerous trading scamsters to shreds when they show up and try to sell their "magic" tading systems.

If a list of Usenet newsgroups and some other trading bookmarks would help you, I'll transmit them to you or make an instant website to post them.

All I really know how to do is to read a chart and make a decision to Buy, Sell Short or Stand Aside. I'm interested in trading options using chart-reading techniques (a la Joe Ross's "Trading Optures and Futions") but I've never done it.

Hope this info was useful in some way.

Best,

-Boyd
