Neil Agate of Sussex Systems alerted me to a interesting service, Daytradeteam's Daytrader Service, that guides you through the ins and outs of daytrading (I guess that's coming back) via instant messaging.
"Our Daytrader Service is made for active traders looking to take advantage of intraday market moves. When daytrading was just in its infancy, our traders were teaching others how to do it. The reason that our daytrader service is the #1 day trading advice service on the internet is simple; you are connected 1 on 1 via instant messenger with a real professional daytrader. Your trader not only tells you what to buy and sell (which has been resulting in an incredible 15.73% per month average gain) but also teaches you advanced daytrading techniques. You will be able to chat back and forth, ask questions, and become educated in real time."
Don't get me wrong: I am not advocating the service, per se. I am interested in the concept that people will sign up for a service that is provided via IM.
