Wow, that's fantastic! I'm about 14% (not annualized) in the plus, but definitely not doubling like you. That's what I get for being a lazy investor, having a day job and relying on mutual funds I guess. But the day job ain't that bad.

So do you day trade then?

Which brokerage do you like best for their fee structure?

I'm thinking I can afford a portion of my portfolio in high risk tolerance.
