I wonder when they are all going to get it? Every regulator, politician ect....claims they want to help the "little guy"

...It's very comforting to know that now that the NYSE took care of the Enron debacle and is cleaning up the Martha Stewart mess, they have so much time to worry about their image...At least at the casino, if you get caught trying to cheat you get expelled for life from the casino....what about...

You guys are all wrong!! MBA's are totally worth the time money and effort, just ask "Mr.Market"...He's HUGE :)

ya know i went to your homepage (morbid curiosity)...your "financial advisor" austin is not approved by NASD...nor is the site.....Curious about that....Was he never registered or was he at one point registered and then thrown out??

It's not so much the broker it's the clearing firm...If it was up to the individual B/D, it would be no problem but if the clering firms start shutting down accounts there's nothing the b/d can do. if you private e-mail me I'll give you the name of some firms that i have "heard" aren't...

"i don't try to time the market, I just want to outperform it" Um...If the Market lost 75% over the last three years....and you personally lost 40%...is that something to brag about? Call me crazy but 100% of nothing is still nothing isn't it? Im just pointing out that it's not very hard...

Sorry guys, you've both kind of lost me so i will be exiting this thread. I do enjoy intelligent conversation about trading, war, politics and the like but there seems to be too much resentment and silliness going on between pictures, endless quotes from politicians and journalists who are not...

I don't know who canyon man is but you can feel free to PM me ..I have not hidden who i am or what Im doing so if you would like, check out my personal suff and drop me a line and we'll talk off line...You constantly quote newspapers and leaders..we know what cnn is saying, but you still haven't...

I don't know why you are putting up pictures of monkeys and making some of these far out statements, but if you want to talk intelligently about these subjects i m game but it seem to me you are either anti american or an ultra liberal extremist. Let me ask you a question: What should we do...

I don't know how old you are, but years ago there was a senator from Arizona named Barry Goldwater and he ran for President and one of the reasons he LOST was because he said plainly he would drop the nukes on Vietnam and end the war, other wise he would leave vietnam. As far as Yugoslavia, the...

America makes a world wide announcement: We are leaving the middleast. europe and Asia....we will not get involved in any other affairs or countries...All we ask is that Gas prices stay around 1.50 per gallon...we don't care who controls the oil as long as we get it at $1.50....same with Asia...

talk show host in Miami 560 am i can usually take five minutes of him before i find myself actually wanting to switch to Dr. Laura!! :)

I love all these arguments that contradict and make no sense what so ever..America is in a constant no win situation. We are THE ONLY superpower in the HISTORY of the world that wins brutal and costly wars....and then give the land back and dump BILLIONS into building the conquered back up ...

I'll let you tell them...no offense, but i'd rather piss off the State trooper then the SEC :D .....While your at it, could you let them know we also don't appreciate decimalization, the up-tick rule or SuperMontage??? If you think this is bad, just think what;s going to happen when they...

I don't know what half of these people are talking about or where they come up with this stuff, however, let's be realistic, S. Carolina State troopers have no jurisdiction in Florida, but I sure don't want to piss one of them off :) As far as the Option exchanges, that is correct but if a...

Options are not technically subject to the SEC/NASD daytrading rules. However each house can apply the rules as they see fit (house rules can always be stricter)...As far as Option trading is concerned, in my past i would only approve accounts for the basic writing of covered calls and to buy a...

Dum/bung The rules are open to interpretation by the individual clearing house or firm..some firms are 3 round trips, some are 4 and I do know of one particular firm that doesn't care how many you do!, although I won't say who. As far as writing the SEC, It's a little late for that. Once...

Yes you can open a non PDT account and short, The margin requirements will be the same as any other account but you only get 4:1 buying power with 25k or more. As far as what PDT is , I know that different firms have different rules but the basic rule is 3 roundtrip (buy and sell in the same...

When a firm has say, 15000 shares short outstanding, they are in a precarious position unless the margin is watched over very closely....if they have more then that they can be in big trouble if the stock runs up, especially if the client decides not to cover the additional margin...many firms...

One of the biggest problems with the regulators is they pass rules but they don't define them. If you call three different clearing houses right now, you will get three different answers as to what is PDT...and how to enforce them. one thing to keep in mind is that if you have 25k in an...
