Well, since we are confessing here.

My name is Bet, and I have been addicted since January. I started trading slowly last year, but then I got heavy into it this year.
I have since bought wirelss internet access, a wireless Pocket PC, DSL, Dial up, five different email accounts for DD, and I am buying my third computer. Who the hell would have ever thought that two of my computers would crash at the same time.

I start my ameritrade comand center before I go to bed at night. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night just to see if the GamezNFlix website is up yet.

One time I drove 3 hours one way just to see what a competitor stock distribution center looked like.
I hate weekends, and three day weekends drive me nuts.

Oh, the best part....I am putting in my two week notice at my job tommorow.

hi everyone, here is my story:

i was a full time college student. i dressed well and my hair was always perfect. i excercised regularly and was in very good shape. i had friends. ...then i found the stock market.

fast forward 6 months:

dropped out of college. i dont bother getting dressed anymore and its been 6 months since my last hair cut. i shave on the weekends. i forget to eat. the only excersize i get is when i have to go downstairs for something (the laptop comes with me). i am a social outcast. ...i am a daytrader.

This is too funny....I too only shave on the weekends.
I also am a college student, but my wife said there is no way I can drop out (I asked her) You see, I am four years into a six year degree.
But we came to an agreement and she let me quit my job. Its so hard to concentrate in class. I have my wireless pocket PC and I use a software program called tiny stocks to constantly check my stock prices why I am in class.
Thank God my school finally got wirelees internet access. Before they did, you could find me in a computer lab constantly refreshing my real time bullet quote because the school network blocked Java.
That really sucked. Now I bring my laptop into a cornor desk in the library and get my fix.

Diana, I'm envious of the offer made to JR.
That sounds like a vacation I could handle.
I could actually trade and party! What a combo.

Holy Cow, you guys are wacked! I damn near wet myself reading the replies to Diana's "confessions" - all you folks in one room would be the prelude to "One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest" )

Seriously, you guys need to crack a window in the house when your trading, you're getting low on oxygen!

Diana, You are one serious women, with (sounds like) a good sensible head on your shoulders. I liked reading your rules of trading - I added a few of yours to my list, especially about laughing every day. Sure makes ME a lot more tolerable. At least that's what the wife says....

Thanks for all the laughs and Good Luck Trading. Ploof

PLEASE TODAY GRANT ME THE ABILITY TO THINK INSIDE THE BOX. I REALLY NEED TO GO PAY MY CELL PHONE,CABLE T.V.,ELECTRIC,PHONE,GAS,WATER AND SEWER BILLS. FOR THE 6TH MONTH IN A ROW I HAVE RECEIVED SHUT OFF NOTICES AND IT IS TOO LATE TO MAIL THEM NOW.

PLEASE HOLD ONTO THAT SNOW STORM SO I MAY PAY THESE BILL BEFORE OPENING BELL. AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR GIVING ME THE KNOWLEDGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN. LIKE MY BUY AND SELL ORDERS!!! ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE LIKE MM'S. AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE ABILITY TO OCCASIONALLY KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

OH, AND THANK YOU FOR THE GIRLS THAT WORK FOR ME. JESSIE JUST CALLED AND IS GOING TO GO PAY MY BILLS FOR ME BEFORE SHE GOES TO WORK. WHEW--I ALMOST HAD A PANIC ATTACK. JUST THE THOUGHT OF MISSING OPENING BELL.

We are a bunch of sick puppies! Wheeeee! Who needs normal? Normal is boring...and so easy. Don't have to think...just follow.

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.

Can't be left out. Here's my confession.

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.

On the days I don' have an early class I rise early and watch Bloomberg or marketwatch. On the days I have early classes I go to the college media center and log on to yahoo tocheck quotes between classes. I hav'nt actually logged on to my ameritrade acct. while at school yet.. but I'm like the Randy Travis song....IT"S JUST A MATTER OF.. TIME!!!!!!!

Good luck to all and Thanks for the posts and support through these most trying days of antagonistic worriation.
