      Another aspect to bear in mind with respect to share size is the typeof trade you are considering. If you are thinking about taking an eighthout of a trade, don't consider less than 1,000 shares or $125 profitpotential (unless you are in the "training" phase of your Day Tradingcareer). An eighth on 500 shares is $62.50. After commissions, it doesn'teven equal the price of a juicy steak at Harry's on Hanover (Manhattanprices). In a market where trading opportunities are plentiful and tradingcapital is limited, consider using smaller share sizes for "longer" termtrades. If you feel that a stock is going to gain a point in the next fivehours, but you know that there are plenty of other trading opportunities onthat given day, consider buying 500 shares and sitting on it while you usethe rest of your capital to take advantage of other opportunities.
