About 3 years ago I left my Silicon Valley career behind and about a year ago I started trading stocks full time. Unfortunately (until very recently) there hasn't a viable stock trading platform for Linux. Now, since thinkorswim's platform is written in Java, there is at least the possibility of trading from a Gentoo machine. I cannot get it to run on Gentoo 64-bit but when I do Windows will be gone again. - Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
