Learn the government rules set by the Security Exchange Commision for cash accounts and margin accounts. The rules are government enforced and therefore are the same with every broker. You need to do alot more research before making any decision on what broker to use. Explore the fine print...

Who is more of a failure? The undercapitalized trader who lost his entire $2,000 account, or the seasoned trader who lost $2,000 out of her $100,000 account? I think when people focus too much on failed undercapitalized traders, they are missing the bigger picture. Both traders, with my...

It only makes sense. Risk = reward. If you remove the risk, reward should not follow. The risk needs to stay in play. They cannot have their cake and eat it too, that would be cheating. In this case, cheating the taxpayers.

I disagree. Statistically, the chances of failing is higher for underfunded traders, naturally. That however doesn't mean you will fail. It just takes longer is all. Go for tiny gains for tiny capital. It's just a matter of scaling. Small risks for small rewards.

I won't be trading until sometime in June, but I have been keeping my eye on CRBC lately. If I started trading next week, that is what I would pop my cherry with. Looks like a good fit for an underfunded noob.

I assume this is about options.

Now China knows how it feels. A taste of their own medicine. :D

For Windows 7: Create a new folder and name it "control GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}" and the folder icon will change to a control panel icon, and you can use that to see/change all your settings. Enjoy. :p

How would you get past the gridlock in a RV? I suggest an emergency evacuation kit in a backpack and a good offroad motorcycle in the city. Have your RV located outside the city. But this is silly considering you are rich. If you were rich, why bother? Get a helicopter instead and land it...

It's already the 51st state.

Never mind about the 3 day trade limit. That only applies to margin accounts.

I'm not sure if it's even possible to do 1 day trade in a cash account. Im still confused by the rules.

Make a contract. You give "bob" that is a citizen of "country x" money. Under the terms of the contract, bob must hire you to trade this money for him on the stock market. It's his account and his money. The terms of the contract also state that bob does not have control of the account. All...

An excellent counter-defence. Perhaps this case has some merit afterall.

Any artificial bubble pop delay is just that, a delay. It's better to let the bubbles pop sooner than later. There is no such thing as "too big to pop". Every ponzi scheme must meet it's end, including Social Security. Let's face reality, the stock market is a ponzi scheme. It has to reset from...

It's only torture if defined by law. Waterboarding was legal. Therefore, the case has no merit, even though they ordered waterboarding. As for the sexual torture, well, it obviously wasn't them. Disappearance? Anyone could look up the names of the captives held at anytime. Thus, no...

I did the same thing. I ditched At&T for magicJack. Best move I ever made. Ooma is obviously not superior to magicJack.

Great idea... ...until some jackass decides to "invest" the global insurance pool into the very same risks that the insurance is supposed to protect themselves against. It will need to be heavily regulated to work. Let us hope the AIG lesson will not be forgotten.

Unemployment benefits should be 3 months maximum. If you can't get a job in 3 months, you are not trying hard enough.
