re: Short-term investing

And I understand your point about academicians frowning upon TA. But how many of those who rake in the big bucks from the markets year after year are actually academicians? Is there a single self-made millionaire via stock investing in the LSU finance department?

Just like there are accountants who are in debt, doctors who smoke, lawyers who break the law, and real estate brokers who are rentees, there are academicians who lecture about the stock market who have yet to pull their first ten-bagger from the market.

The big boys on the street, the ones who are in the trenches ripping tremendous returns year after year ... they all use TA nowadays, at least in a supplementary manner.

I agree about this being a good discussion. I welcome a good financial information-swap anytime, although I prefer to have them over a fine glass of scotch

Post your email if you want and I'll point you in the direction of some of my work. I'm an analyst/contributor at a few online locales/financial publications that may strike your interest. And Lord knows there's a bunch I could learn from you.

The funds should be no hindrance to your TA education. You won't need the Level Two subscriptions, chart software subscriptions, etc. until you're well down the road. The time could be a problem, but I manage it on top of law school. I'm sure your boat is as equally full right now (or more, but for your sake I sure hope not), but little by little is really the only way to learn it anyway. If you go for too much too fast you'll get lost in the mix.

ETAd. If only there were more hours in the day. Thanks.
