At age 101, Harry Callahan probably never thought he would be called out of retirement by a group of people doing something like online trading and options trading. When Callahan began his career at the Chicago Board of Trade in 1927, there were only stock tickers – no such things as online options brokers!

Today’s attitude is a bit more fickle.
Stock trading and online trading have never been more challenging and more re-warding. Without today’s modern advancements I’d be in the dark until I came home from work. Or maybe even later.
Instead of reading what happened in the paper the next day, just like the […]
We have a small club that meets to discuss online trading and options trading. It’s not an official club of any type; it’s just a couple of us meet for breakfast very early a couple of times per month on a Saturday.
We’ve had a lot to discuss, lately.
The subject of short […]
It was quite a ride up yesterday.
Never in my time doing online stock trading and options trading has there been anything like it. Of course, it was a record increase, so it’s all history.

We called around and a few of us are going to meet at 5:00a.m., […]
We had our first meeting of our online stock trading group. It was a mixed crowd, with men and women of all ages. Our knowledge was all over the board, too. A number of us had been trading for years, and some had never even had a brokerage account.
Jim was the […]
These are the best and the worst of times for any investor. It depends on how you call it. Fortunes can be made or lost. stock trading means a lot more now than it did barely two years ago, but only if you are serious.
Online stock trading and options trading and all its assets can […]
When our online trading club met we had a lot to discuss. Many said that we shouldn’t have met for breakfast but should have met at the neighborhood pub and had something much stronger than coffee.
Acting as an online stock broker, online stock trading is the one place where you can possibly save your portfolio […]
I got a call from John, the president of our stock trading club. He wants to have an emergency meeting in the next day or so. He feels that he will find some comfort with the other members of the club.
I’m not so sure. I think he will find misery loving company.
Sarah, […]
