Notes From a Cyber Trader

I'm a retail ("same day"/swing) trader who trades between 40 and 60 trades a month. I primarily trade from an RSP and secondarily from a TFSA account through a discount broker. I'm convinced the whole marketplace is set up to position the "retail trader" at a disadvantage - Starting with you're very own online discount investing broker! 99% of my stock picks are from the TSX Venture board. I do not make stock recommendations. Those who do, do it out of self interest and prey on others so that they can sell them their stocks in the end and then announce they closed their position. Why else would you tell someone to buy?? As Ayn Rand professed - There is no such thing as altruism. I will on occasion disclose stocks I routinely trade but do not recommend them. Its your job to pick your stocks and develop a trading strategy. My blog includes info on: - Mining and Energy Stocks. - Online trading - Technology - Current events - Books/Music

    My observations as a resident living a few blocks away from dictator Harper's fortress.....Everyone was suspect of being an anarchist whether you lived in the downtown core or not. The location of this meeting was set up by the dictator with no input from the residents of Toronto.The dictator has no elected members in the metro area and this was his gift to us. Last I heard the cost estimate...

    Message sent to the beautiful people who run my discount brokerage. I'm so happy they collect their fat paychecks and enjoy their well deserved bonuses and care so much about the real people who keep them employed. Its hard work to answer the phone (when they get a chance) to tell their clients things are real busy here.......Message sent to RBC Direct InvesmentsAnother example of the crap RBC...
