I'm not going to your "(whatever)anon" meetings. I love my addiction -- I don't want to lose it. My dog and cat don't care. All they know is we're always alone and I talk to them. They like that. I talk to them a lot...they answer me. It's good.

I don't cook/eat anymore...except after close. My butt started to hurt from sitting here all day so had to get a new chair. Shopped on weekend 'cause market was closed. Is there another damn 3-day weekend coming up???

I have not, I repeat NOT, bought a "pilot's friend", (ask if u don't know), so I don't feel I have reached the critical point.

Have your meetings -- tell your stories! I'll still be here, secure in my addiction.

Im Jason. A regular nerdish college kid. I've been infected by the bug since *remembers* September.

My first hit was on my girlfriend's birthday. Now she questions "you made AND lost $1000 in the same day??" My first experiences sucked. I bought UVCL at a high and I got ADOT'ted.

A typical sad International business student life. My Bentley went off a cliff, my ZKID wet his pants, and I gave up on NSDM.

I've had to learn to forgive. Now I'm in UVCL - 85% LOWER than my first round after it pulled my pants off & bent me over. I've felt demoralization & victory. Sometimes the same minute.

This is my confession.

Now this is making me think seriuously. It is thoughts like yours that start the making of a good book. We should all contribute one way or another. You have great writing style. I am a little bit on the serious/conservative side. As you said, if we cannot make money out of trading let's get rich and famous from our experience and idiosyncracies. After all we have to recoup the thousands that we have contributed to the material well being of the MM's. It will also help fund our therapy sessions with the mind quacks. I can see it all now.... book signing engagements... pictorial for front page of forbes, money, time and newsweek .... guesting at David Lettermen... and the title....DAY TRADING JUNKIES BUT NOT FLUNKIES.....

Let the good times roll.

I, of course agreed. He INSISTED I open an account and try the real thing. (I know he had visions of "Dad with his new boat, Dad with his diesel truck, Dad with his custom made chopper, etc.). Now, all he has is a wife who hunkers down in the basement puffing away on cigarettes, wears a bathrobe all day, forgets to pay bills, and with a butt getting bigger by the hour. House gone to hell, kids neglected, dog never walked. Oh lord, it ain't a pretty sight.

BJAY,

AT LEAST YOU GOTTA MAN!!! I NEED TO FIND ONE BUT THE ODDS OF ME MAKING A MILLION ON PENNY STOCKS IS PROBABLY BETTER THAN THE ODDS ON BE FINDING A MAN. LOL

GREAT STORY. WE JUST MIGHT HAVE TO WRITE THAT BOOK!!!

If I were to visit the casinos in Atlantic City and observe the addicted gambler at the craps table I would see the gambler score big once or twice and continue to throw the dice. He would throw the dice with great hope in his eyes only to be disappointed more than not. With each throw he would rub his lucky silver dollar harder and harder until he scores a small win. With that small win, the gambler thinks his luck has changed and continues to throw the dice. So focused on the game, the gambler has lost sight of what is really important to him.

As I stand there watching the gambler I realize I am looking in the mirror.

This is the season for the penny stocks, they are cyclical and not for amateurs. We amateurs can make some money during the high season in the pennies, but the pennies have their sine wave to follow.

I was just going to write my confession to being obsessed but, I see you wrote it for me.
My poor toddler though, I find myself doing flash cards with her using stock symbols,

A, is for.... American Fire Retardant Corp'
B, is for....Bentley Commerce Corp
C, is for....Cetek Technologies

And license plates, I can't get behind a car without trying to figure out what company symbol thier letters would be.
You would also be amazed how fast one can clean up a house, do the laundry, fix dinner and get "work" done with just a simple phone call of "I'm on my way home".

hey,ice, they make a numbing gel for that. don't be afraid to tell her to "slow down baby".

so...ok...i've been avoiding this thread because...... i'm a stock junkie too. it's hard to admit, but i have piles of toys i never play with because the thrill i get from a souped up laptop and a fat ameritrade account blows all of the rest away. i have 2 sailboats. one under construction. the sails havent been aired out yet this season. i have been fishing once in months and then only because a visitor asked me to take him out. and the whole time i was thinking about all of the trade orders i put in the night before so my account kept working while i wasn't.

i realize that during trading hours my conversations with ms mullet are rather one sided and sometimes i hear the office door shut and wonder if we just had one. i often see breakfast next to me on the "command center" u shaped desk and don't even remember it being put there.

if it wasn't for music and committments to play (never during market hours), i wouldn't do the jeckle and hyde thing. even then i temporarily leave the command center hoping i won't miss that important pr or tip or pick that will give me another killer week.

someone here on the ibzt thread posted a little movie maker thingie (you need to check this out) and if i hadn't have seen it i would have blown valentine's day. so i hurried up and made my own little 3 act movie from the link and tried not to mention beta or how many shares of afrr we had more than once in each scene and e mailed it to ms mullet. we managed to set up a date for dinner at "the place" after my saturday afternoon gig. we met in the bar at 7pm, and feeling day trader rich i had smoked salmon and caviar on balck pepper blinis, an asparagus and grilled orange duck couccous salad, a major sized filet mignon in a bed of lobster ravioli with marscapone lobster sauce, washed down with too much cabernet sauvignon, and capped off with chocolate mousse with grand mariner strawberries. oh and of course a snifter of brandy just in case i had left any small spaces in my digestive track that needed filling up. we listened to some great live music and had a really good time. well at least ms mullet still continues to as she is sleeping soundly choosing lighter dishes and only part of a glass of chardoney.

i, being of the type a stock trader mentality, knowing "this is good and will make me rich" and somehow making a misjudgement in therefore "this is good because it is rich". i tossed and turned as the "i can't believe i ate the whole thing" played on endless loop and got up for a small handfull of tums and a glass of water. on the way back to bed i saw the small glowing led lights of the command center in the office inviting me for a quick check of what is in store for next week. i realized "what the hell am i going to do on monday?". i figured i check with the rest of you to see if you had any suggestions...................

just 1 more digit to the left of the decimal and i'll quit (or maybe just "dabble"). i promise. adjusted for projected inflation of course. and as long as t bills are paying say 18-20%.........
