    Differences between retail and professional options trading?

    Trade size isn't necessarily an issue only for professional traders. Retail traders who trade in sizes over 100 will have the same problems with fills.

    Greenwich is an expensive place to live..

    Greenwich is very expensive. I looked up its demographics data and its median home price is only a little lower than where I live, and I live in a freaking-a$$ expensive city. That said, I still think his expenses are higher than they need to be. He is unwilling to make sacrifices to lower...

    Greenwich is an expensive place to live..

    They're reliable but I wouldn't go that far. They do need things beyond oil changes: CV joints, hoses, coolant flushes, timing belt, tranny fluid replacements, brake pads, and so on. Those people who say they do only oil changes are clearly exaggerating. No car will get to 200k miles on the...

    Realistic Rate Of Return?

    It depends on account size. Right now I can do better than what you described, but if I were managing even a measly $25M I know I couldn't do it anymore.

    Greenwich is an expensive place to live..

    Sounds good in theory but not in practice. Rich girls are spoiled and extremely demanding. The only way you'll survive being with one is if you're spineless and have no qualms being her servant.

    Greenwich is an expensive place to live..

    A 5-7 year old car is just as reliable as a new car. My daily driver is in that age range and I spend almost nothing on it each year in maintenance/repairs. So far this year I've spent $25 (oil change). $1200 is way too much for his income level. Even when I was making more than double his...

    Greenwich is an expensive place to live..

    All good advice except #5. No above-average looking woman will pay even 1/4 of a meal or date, unfortunately. If you want the goods, you gotta pay the price.

    Why Western women typically don't age well?

    Not even 30.... by their late 20's the party's already over. I think it's genetic not environmental because you see some foreign-born women in their 30s in the US who still look decent.

    Greenwich is an expensive place to live..

    Your expenses are too high. $1200 for annual car insurance? Sounds like you have a nice car or bad driving record, otherwise there's no reason you should be paying more than $400 per year (liability only). And if you live that close why are you driving? Get a cheaper car. You're making...

    How to start in OPTIONS trading?

    conversions and reversals are the most conservative. You wouldn't think CCs are conservative if you wrote them in spring 2000.

    Protecting your capital from medical collection agencies

    Getting rid of HMOs won't reduce the price of health care to the point anyone can afford it. Have you ever gone to your doctor and paid out of pocket? My doctor gives me a $25 discount for paying cash/check instead of using insurance. It's still over $100 per visit and even more for a...

    How To Play Pozn- Fda Annoucement Aug. 1

    Are they awaiting FDA approval on a major drug? These pharma/biotech stocks with pending announcements are about as wild a volatility ride as you'll ever see. I used to follow a few. Is the company depending on this one product for its profitability for the next 10 years? I've seen some...

    Salary: Big 3 autoworker vs PhD college professor

    It's not likely you would have gotten your job at Morgan Stanley without your degree, so obviously college wasn't a waste of time for you. Or are you saying you don't really want your job in the first place, in which case, why are you working there?

    Salary: Big 3 autoworker vs PhD college professor

    Salary: Big 3 autoworker vs PhD college professor

    Depends, a PhD in what? If it's something like mathematics or electrical engineering, then not "anyone" can get a PhD. I doubt 95% of the population could get a PhD in math if someone held a gun to their heads or offered them $5M. If you ever took a graduate class in math you'd know what I...

    help me lose some bloody pounds

    That's way too hardcore for a forum like this. I don't think any suggestions on weight loss should include steroids and T3's.
