It is a real account with real money. And yes to put on a 10k position takes somewhere between $50 and $75 for the margin requirements. So that is certainly over 10% of account at the beginning of March. Even the pip spread of 3-4 pips is 1% of the account. And most rules of thumb say only...

I am trying to post a picture of an actual LIVE account report from someone that started with $700 a year ago, dropped to $424.30 by March 1st 2008, closed $5298.10 profit for this month and still has open Profit of $4044(+-) at the time of this posting. Starting with $424 and closing $5300...

With the "cotton chick" (I like that!) can she make much more than, say $1 per contract? In that example it seems her income would soley depend on order flow and nothing else. How about some incentive for her to take a position and profit? Or is that not allowed for a broker? Thanks!

Thanks mschey.

A friend asked how much the OJ guy and the broker woman make on Wall Street Warriors. I thought 700k to 2 million. (???) Does anyone have an idea? (for any floor trader or broker for that matter) Also, if you buy a seat, are there any other expenses you have to pay to the exchange...

HG Thank you so much for your time and willingness to share what you've learned!

Too little too late. Of course hindsight is 20/20, but it was the banks and the fed and their "easy money" that got us into this mess. And yes all those people who bought things they couldn't afford are responsible, but the fed created the "crack" i.e. easy money and everyone smoked it...

Eventually you have to pay the piper. I like what you said about kids sending money home to take care of families. That is one reason this current economic "situation" is so bad. It used to be that dad worked and mom stayed home. Then mom began to work, as well. Now kids are taking...

Pasted or not. Think long and hard about what is TRULY being said.

A good correction will shake the weak hands who will wait 3-5 years and buy again from me at the top when they just "have to get back in!" I am buying the pullback when I see that the strength of the move is resuming.

"Was asked without banality ..." UMMMMM???

What would be an example, as you understand it, of not filtering volatility properly? I ask, because I do a lot with volatility.

I have not been bullish on real estate for 7 years. Yes I saw prices sky rocket and even profitted from it. But it had to end. When I hear everyone and their sister getting their real estate license and "flipping" houses it's time for caution. So in effect you are calling the bottom in...

But would it help offset some of the lower loans that might default? Not sure. I am cynical of this, but I see good and bad.

Opportunities exist in every market for the person willing to do their homework. The title of this thread is very general (real estate vs. stocks) In GENERAL terms neither is better than the other and certainly not now. And again, depends on your time frame. So to say one is better "Right...

BTW 50 year mortgages!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!

The pain in real estate has NOT been felt yet. If you really want in.........get this real estate when it's fire-saled after people stop paying mortgages, because they CAN"T, and the banks or courthouses start giving it away. Now is not the time to INVEST in real estate(time frame...

I don't think it was my broker, but who knows??? Here's my story Trading SBUX in 1999, 2000, or 2001 (don't remember) I was short maybe 2000 shares (had a small account and that was all I could buy/sell) going into lunch time. I was also sitting with the position for some time. Maybe an...

Great question. Also do you ever HAVE to declare Trader status?

Outside the opening range? So if a stock closed yesterday at 50 and was expected to open at 45 they would place the order for 44.50. Or would they place it within the 5 dollar gap at 46 and receive the 45 fill? Also how does one get a good idea of where a stock is going to open? Thanks
