    BAC less than 48hr Due Diligence on MER

    Very simple. So the vampires at Merrill can start marketing to the billions of dollars (Clients) sitting in CD's, and Cash at BAC. Lewis of BAC even said himself live on T.V. that MER will start marketing to cash clients. BAC Clients, get ready for some Merrill snake oil sales people...

    "It's Different This Time" ??

    I'll agree with all posts three pages into this thread. I'm a retail Broker (Independent, thank the Lord! B/D and IAR) I'm losing some of by best top Clients over this mess that's been created, and it's hurting my family as well. No, I'm not a rich Broker. Why does everyone I meet think that...

    Hurricane Ike

    Depends on where you want to buy. The erosion is very bad from Buxton, Frisco, etc., to the end of the Island. If I were looking to buy on the beach, I'd be looking at Duck/Corolla. Ocracoke isn't too bad. However, it's expensive real estate just like Duck, and Corolla. If you really want to...

    Hurricane Ike

    Thank you! Yes, God has blessed me in more ways than one... I lived through combat in the Desert, and combat in the markets. They're very similar. One kills, the other gets killed.

    Mark my words here...

    You guys kill me. Why not wait and see what the charts say BEFORE you make any trading decisions for Monday, Tues, Wed, etc.,:confused: In this chop suey market, I wouldn't call anything until I've looked at the charts before AND during the open to decide on an entry/exit?:confused: BUT...

    Hurricane Ike

    I didn't have to fire a single round. I almost got bit by a water moccasin in the kitchen of one house! Again, we only had knee deep water to deal with at the worst inside the houses. The streets in Kenner were a different story... I've never seen anything like that, and hope I never have to...

    Hurricane Ike

    So true! Get out of the way! We lost a Vacation Home on Hatteras Island, NC over five years ago, and it's an emotional nightmare! When I say vacation home, I meant a place we wanted to retire to someday... My Wife still cries herself to sleep at night when we hear of a Hurricane heading to...

    Pm me. I grew up in Jefferson Parish. I know a P&C outfit there, and have family ties there. I'll do anything I can to help you. I'll also put in contact with the General Agent of a large carrier there. He is a good guy, and will speak with you, and answer your questions. I'm sorry to hear of...

    Broker for half decade with delima

    I GREATLY appreciate all of you guys! (and gals) I never give up. When there's a fire inside to win, it takes more than cold water to put it out... Those with drive to do right by their Clients get kicked in the nuts at times in the short term. After it's all said and done, I can live with...

    Why Oil is going to $90...

    Iran sucks big ol' camel dongs. They'll cave in quickly. I'd love to hit the beach there, and get some! Moral of the story: Iran wants to be a bully, but will never be as the US Marine Corps will make them cry to their mommies! That is if if McCain makes it into office as he should...

    Broker for half decade with delima

    Flytiger, I greatly appreciate the advice! Yes, I believe you're 100% in that the brokerage industry is without future. It's really sad to see what was once held in high regard, fall into the same classification as personal injury lawyer, and used car sales. When I was new, people would...

    Broker for half decade with delima

    I agree. I'm looking into Chicago. I have a Cousin at MS in NY, and he hates MS but loves NY. Tough call. Every time I go to NY, my blood pressure goes up. LOL! It's going to be a leap of faith, no question.
