Send Me Your New Year’s
Trading Resolutions

Since we’re coming up to the end of the year, I
thought it might be a good time to see what trading resolutions you might be
thinking about. It’s pretty common to make New Year’s resolutions (and promptly
break them, I know), so why not make some trading resolutions? You might be
gearing up for your best year ever–or simply trying to honor your stops.
Whatever your trading resolutions are, send them to me and I’ll post them in the
12/31commentary (anonymously, of course) so that others can benefit. Send to:
bricew@tradingmarkets.com. (And
sure, if you have some humorous ones, that’s OK too).

Huge Year End Sale

You’ve heard me say it before, but
educating yourself about trading is the only way–IMO–that you are going to be
able to consistently make money in the market, and that goes for swing traders
and intermediate-term traders as well as daytraders. That said, I can’t
think of a better time to pick up a great deal onb a trading course, book or DVD
than right now at the
TradersGalleria
Year-End Sale.

Merry Christmas and Happy
Holidays

As another year draws to a close, it’s time to
say ‘thank you’ to all the TM Members who make this site happen. I mean that,
because if it weren’t for you, there’d be no us.
