    Etrade. Safe or not?

    I spent 35mins on the phone with Etrade, it did´t seem as though they are bogged down with callers. They told me, for what is worth, that ETrade got out of their exposure to these morgage backed securities some time ago and thought the transparency in announcing the write off was the best thing...

    American Dollar and Joe Six Pack

    When Bernanke was asked about the weak $ and the feds policy of keeping it strong, all Bernanke could say was that in his opinion it was strong within America and the people could continue to buy the same amount of goods.

    So, tell me about yourself !!!

    The problem with any interview is that you are at the mercy of the interviewer and personalities. You as the job seeker has to "read" what the interviewer wants to hear.

    Millionaire Traders - Market Maker or Market Taker?

    I find it amazing that he can trade 250 times a day and yet he says he is disciplined, waits for the trades to set up and only trades a few Nasdaq stock.
