Steel Magnolias by Tom Cruise: "Respect the cock....and tame the cunt...." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Wall Street by Bud Fox (b4 walking into GG's office.) "Life boils down to a couple of moments....this is one of them.."...

Does anyone have logistical issues or concerns they know of from protocols of flopping over from a PHLX to an NASD firm -- such as securities licenses issues?? For example, there are specific licenses you can only obtain by working with an NASD firm. IF you start out with a PHLX firm, most...

You do not need to work for an NASD firm in order to get your 63,65,or 66. All you have to do is independently fill out a form U-10 to do this. This is an interesting discussion. The 55 I believe is NASD only. I will look into this. But it appears that if someone has their 55, you can pretty...

This is the reason why I keep my tv on mute during trading hours. Every single idea that I have ever "heard" or been subconsicously brainwashed by throughout the day, has either killed me for trying, or been a huge lost opportunity for passing something up. My favorite is after the close...

If you are coming in with no licenses and no books of business or high net worth individuals, you will do absolutely NOTHING to manage your clients account. If anything, you will be pressured to merely get their money and dump it into the funds that your firm manages. No doubt, places like...

Some valid points in the last several posts. I would point you to Headhunter.net. & type in key word search "Trader." You will see three pages of mostly prop type jobs that offer no base and no real benefits, other than the proverbial leverage-- unless you already have a book of business...

I realize there has been an abundance of information out here on prop firms and how to go about securing the best trading deal "package" for newbies versus experienced individuals. I was wondering if there were any members on this board that actually work in the operations platform/trading desk...

Thought this might be of interest....THere was some massive volume today to the tune of 30000-40000 contracts traded for each of the Dec QQQ puts @ 18, 20, & 24 strikes. Total volume was around 120000 or cash positions worth $6000000. All went through pretty much on the ask, so were opened long...

Thanks everyone for your posts and contributions. You would be surprised at how many "individuals" out there, while engaged in the art of trading are classified, for tax purposes still as "investors." A $3,000 ceiling indeed, given the market conditions of this past year, is a complete joke. In...

This forum is great for obtaining legitimate information. I was wondering if anyone out there has links or a reference to the latest developments on changing the maximum allowance allowed for capital loss/tax write offs. There has been much speculation in recent months that the current $3,000...

Hindsight being 20/20.....you could have turned $5k into $200,000 overnight last week with some o.t.m. EDS Sep puts. THere actually was some open interest b4 this ball went over the back wall for a home run.........

I have seen some different comments made in several posts over the last few weeks and wanted to tie in a few ideas here for consolidation purposes. THis scenario would assume that your individual trading costs are minimal at a professional level-- around a penny per share or so with no pass...

This would be my advice. As far as school goes...if you want to be a true pimp in the financial arena, only go to a top 5 program. With your GPA and face value ability, you should definitely take a GMAT to see where you fall. If you can get > 680, you are set. The other consideration for...

Its funny you mentioned this in your post........I was just having a convo the other day with someone about how we miss those ridiculous intraday ranges. You take a JNPR, BRCD, or any of the others you mentioned...and you could be talking about a $35-$40 intraday range. Unreal!!!! I think that...

Think it was the summer of 2000, b4 the big puke that fall. BRCD was a big fat pig back then, trading at around $200 per share. I recall one day around 3:30pm, the Nasdaq was in the green & futures looked +. BRCD had been trying to break the $198 level ceiling. I figured it could, so for about...

What is really annoying is a week ago or so last Wednesday...when we had that ridiculous pop thanks to Cisco....Thursday & last Friday saw major pullbacks.........everyone and their stupid brother came on CNBC out of the woodwork proclaiming we ARE DEFINITELY going to test the lows from Sept...
