That analysis is right on the money. But how do we fix it?

Interesting article, considering how big an investor he has been here in the past: Saudi Billionaire to Wall Street: See You Later http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1841548,00.html?xid=rss-topstories

:D:D Woohoo, I'm loaded with assets!

OK, have never seen it. Why the eSignal promo then?

Sounds like one of the big shorts talking. :) Bottom line is Merrill has tons of revenues still, which Lehman does not, and BofA has tons of cash. BofA was smart enough to walk away from buying Lehman at $4 after seeing their books, and is paying MER a 70% premium after seeing their books...

Agree 100%.

So it doesn't have charts of its own??? If that is the case there's no way that can be considered a good platform in my book.

WOW! Unregistered, and by the same guys who brought you Tuco! HAVE THEY NOT LEARNED??? What did guys get back from their capital they put at Tuco, 40%? After a year of headaches? Have to agree that would never send these guys a dime... unless I wanted to turn it into a nickel. :D

Uh, no. They do seem to be the only firm that sells it to death, never figured out why, as far as strategies go there are a lot better ones. Guess it sells a lot of seminar seats, and is pretty easy for a beginner to grasp. I would expand the universe of firms beyond just these two, there...

: insert sound of crickets here : :)

Can't agree more! Don't know who these guys getting killed are but I know a ton that are cleaning up right now, the moves are great. Will say though, when you get a loser they sometimes get out of hand quick also, things are moving. But if you are losing in volatility like this time to...

Wow, such incredibly clueless answers. Trolling the 'prop firms' forum talking people out of prop with misinformation. Nice. Go back to running your crap futures shop. The real answer is many prop firms will give 50-1 or even 100-1 leverage on your money at no charge so long as you use it...

Yup. What he said. With the greatest emphasis being how many people cannot participate on the buy side for many years, and how loans went from 0-3% down to 20% now, with many banks not even allowing any jumbos any more. This is going to get a lot uglier, we've seen at most about 1/2 the move...

I am waiting as well for prices to hit 98-2000 levels, you are right on target with me.

Sell sell sell. The amount of foreclosures to come will dwarf what we have seen so far. Bottom looks to be 2010-2012. Even the commercial market is beginning to finally crack as well as NY city proving nothing to be immune. The banks know what they have coming on their books, that's why...

Ahh yes, because anytime you lose money it must be a major conspiracy! I knew there was some smoke-filled room somewhere where 50 millionaires were watching my stop orders and sending secret subliminal messages through porn channels for me to keep my stops tight and pull my shorts down! :)...

Best advice here! (Forex is worst advice here FWIW) Adding to that, add small increments in size to your winners as they prove themselves while then narrowing your stops each time you add, and don't be afraid to get back in a trade - with small starting size - you were stopped out of if it...

Ran out of other businesses to outsource to China, looking for this one now eh? :D

I think it is purely because people here just don't use the place. If anyone could actually make a living using Ameritrade considering they sell their order flow (last I heard at least) I would be very impressed. And I would ask them why don't they go anywhere with direct access and make a ton...

With automation it is possible.
