• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Chase Vacations...when is yours?

May 10 - June 1st. I have to return to Florida for June 2nd for a Hurricane program then I might return to the Plains for a mid June go at it for maybe a week.

Mine starts in about two hours. Always the best day of the year, better than Christmas.

Don't know how long I'll be out, until I run out of money or learn when I have to move per some new job (hopefully).
 
Every day is potential chase vacation day for me. I day trade stocks for a living from home, live in the KC area, the market closes at 3:00pm and I can always put on orders and leave early if necessary. I have backup locations I can stay with family overnight in Wichita and also Pittsburg, KS if the chase takes me too far afield, but I won't go so far as to have to stay in a hotel overnight.
 
May 9th till my finances are exhausted. Probably week and a half to two weeks.
 
Now(since March of 2004) till I run out of ways to pay for rent or gas.

Interesting... I was looking into day trading, but I couldn't even survive paper trading/virtual trading. I would "buy" a stock that looked like it was going up, then it would tank, only to rise after I got out. Way too much stress... :cry:

Right now, I have a few people in my neighborhood who want to buy a "car computer" from me, so I will be making ~$500 on each of those... It would be sweet if I could get something like this rolling, and then advertise or whatever, or have products in Crutchfield magazine. If I could sell 1000 of those things across the nation, that's ~$500K :shock:

Given that, I don't really have a "chase vacation"... I just go when things look really good. I usually don't venture much past IL or IN, but hopefully that can change in the future if I start making more money...
 
May 18 to June 10ish. Giving myself a 3+ week window this year.

I come out from Boston MA. It's a long way to go for a bust. I start pacing around the house in April. Man I'm already sweating the models... Usual pre-chase butterflies. I'm so ready though. Can't wait.

Since I'm currently unemployed, I'm free to chase pretty much every day. On the other hand, since I'm currently unemployed, I can't exactly afford to chase pretty much every day.

So, I'll be sticking with close targets and the best setups. If I can swing it, I might set aside a week in late May or early June to vacation. Thankfully, having an open schedule allows me to pick a week in which the weather appears likely to cooperate.

Of course, if I snag a decent job in the interim and have to pack my bags and move to Washington D.C., or something...well, that's that.
 
Mine started in March, but it stops on May 14th and starts again on the 15th. I live in Wichita and I am a full time student so I can get out chasing any time. I am graduating in a couple weeks and I am going to use graduation money to fund chasing full time this year. I will probably get a job at the end of August, but until then, I am on vacation.
