I would try to stick close to the industries you know. If you see someone coming up with something new in an industry you are familiar with, it's easier to gauge how successful the new product/service will be that they are offering. That way you are making a safe bet rather than playing with fire, lol.

Rob is making me laugh, I can picture him smoking a cigar that he lit with a hundred dollar bill. It's either one he got from his stock going up, or one he decided to keep and just use it to light his cigar because he knows he's gonna lose it to the market anyway. LOL

I do agree with the fact that 2500 will come and go very fast. Alot of money managers won't even look your way unless you got 10k to burn, and that 10k won't kill you if it gets lost.

When I go play Black Jack, if I am playing at a 5 dollar table, I know to ride through the storm I need at least 100.
