One cannot be Abe Lincoln and be self educated and expect to be accepted in the 'modern' world. Those days are long gone to never return. One must have the degree or the doors of opportunity are closed. It is not what one knows but what one is suppose to know that counts.

Yes, trade only stocks that have a marketmaker/specialist. They are obligated, under normal market conditions, to trade at least one round lot, usually 100 shares, if it is a market order in the stocks they are registered.
In the 2012 election all candidates for president will have to provide proof of eligibility as it should have been in the past. This has been a serious lapse of making sure the requirement to be president have been met by candidates. The states have made sure candidates for Congress from their...
There are presidential candidates and political parties that cannot be on the ballot in all fifty sates every election because they cannot or did not meet the qualifications/requirements of a particular state. This is not theory but reality. The acceptance of some licensees are normally accepted...
Every state has a right to determine the qualifications of the candidates within their state and require that the candidates provide proof of eligibility. The requirements are identical as to the federal offices and candidates for those offices are required to provide eligibilty proof to the...
