    Public not coming back??

    Valid point on the MBA's on Wall Street! Lol! Why??? Why not a degree called MCS? (Master's of Common Sense.) Also, to the original poster. I'm a retail Advisor. I'll have to say that I've never seen such a disaster with 401(k)'s! Ever! "Here are your choices of funds Sir/Mam. Yes, we know...

    Prop Firms That Offer Salary

    Unless you're profitable day 1 (doubtful. Highly...), these "salaries" are enough to get you a breakfast and lunch at Burger King, and a slum "sleeping room" in the listed cities. Btw, the sleeping room takes no kids. So, make sure you're single with no kids if wanting these salaries in the...

    Why are futures considered a better instrument for scalping?

    Futures= 60/40 60% Long term gain (15%) 40% Short term gain (at your bracket) Can't do that with equities.:cool:

    glad I left Merrill several years ago

    I'm a RIA, and get lumped in with the idiots on the news recently (even though I'm far from Wall St...) and need a laugh from time to time. This is good example of the kind of "culture" Merrill Lynch still has...

    What instrument to use when bullish on OIL ?

    Gotta bump this back up. I've been pondering this for a while, and want to hedge long term. A person can buy the ETF's today, and probably triple their $$$. However, what happens when they get to the 3x their money point? Sell some of the shares to offset pump prices? If a person does...

    What instrument to use when bullish on OIL ?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't a futures contract bought now, and rolled over month to month be a better alternative? I'm wanting to hedge against higher prices at the pump, but buying I don't see how the ETF's will work as well.

    Is Wall Street run by crooks and liars?

    Besides Reagan I agree. History will tell the tale, and America will realize they were duped by the liberal idiot media. Of course by then it will be too late...

    10 Billion Spent On Combating Marijuana? Lmfaoo!?

    That's an abuse of the Prison system to do such a thing! They're letting VIOLENT felons out all the time after serving 1-3 for malicious wounding, robbery, etc., in about 16 months. The sexual predators, (1st offence) usually get supervised probation. The kid in N.C's first offence was growing 3...

    10 Billion Spent On Combating Marijuana? Lmfaoo!?

    LOL!!!!!! I watched it too. Just buy that house the people moved out of due to the 13 "gardens" around them. You'll be able to trade in peace, as the place looked quiet, rural, etc., AND you'll be able to test out your green thumb! Ooh rah!:cool:

    Is it possible to put together a setup with two 32" monitors side by side? If so, any ideas on what to buy? I need the monitors, good quality computer up to trading standards, and all other hardware needed. I'm clueless on the hardware end, so I appreciate the replies!:) (Guess I'm starting...

    LCDs vs CRTs and Eyestrain??

    Good post! I've noticed that a slate blue has helped me. I'll admit, I love the way numerous monitors look in black background with all the vibrant colors seeming to jump out more, plus the tickers flashing, etc., Looks all "high tech." LOL! But for trading, and looking at the crazy things...

    10 Billion Spent On Combating Marijuana? Lmfaoo!?

    This is also true. Plus, the hard core guys wanting legalization are so radical, they've almost become like P.E.T.A. Once you get to the point where you're seen in similar eyes that PETA is seen, your message falls on deaf ears due to being too radical. It's a viscious cycle. What's...

    10 Billion Spent On Combating Marijuana? Lmfaoo!?

    Great post! In addition, on the History channel, MJ was originally outlawed here to keep the "negroes" from commiting violent acts on whites. It was called "wicked weed," and the propaganda that went with it were pics in newspapers (cartoon pics), depicting blacks with their eyes bulging out...
