    Don-
    Glad to see 2005 starting off on a profitable note. I've been shorting the Q's and it's been paying off...for now...

    Anyway, I was thinking of starting up at a prop trading firm this year and outside of your organization, would you recommend Orion which is based out of PA? I'm based in Boston and can do a remote-trading set-up with them.

    I've got a license, but they don't require the 7. That was a red flag, imo. The 200k share minimum is required or I have to eat a $500 software fee. They don't require any seminar or flight to their base camp, which may also be a red flag. Just trying to do my d.d. before I cut any checks...

    Perhaps P.M. me if you have the time?

    Much appreciated in advance.

    Should have been:

    "Don's Market Jive for 2005"

    or -

    "Don - Tradin' Live in 2005"

    or -

    "Join the 2005 Opening Hive!"


    Good luck to all!

  10. There really are no "rules" that I use, I read the tape, check the peers, check the spoo premium/discount for exits. Getting in is based on fair value calculations. Check the last couple of years of "Don's openings" for more details.

    Today was a bit tough, +$165, very small.

    All the best !
