IYR is a broad REIT ETF. I do not think this is the best approach to short the REIT sector since the residential and some commercial reits have a good chance to benefit from the falling housing market through higher rents.

The firm should pay the expenses to sponsor you for the series 7, as well as provide study materials. Good ones do this automatically, otherwise you have to make it known that you expect this as a condition of your joining the firm. Don't let them b.s. you.

Yep, I read your frustrated post. Maybe I got it wrong then. You are just here looking for some friendly compassion from internet strangers for your two-lot trade that you won't resolve by calling customer service. Ok....I feel your pain.

So you have a problem requiring real-time assistance, and you come to an internet message board while balking at the phone or IM customer service. You sound as dumb as they come. No wonder 98% fail.

You sound like you have no clue yourself. There are too many pikers on this board who are quick to dish out sarcasm and insults when they feel their trading ego is threatened , especially the person who started this thread and in his thread title and opening line completely distorted what...

Cost, Geez!! How the heck do you have the time to do all the global equity and economic analysis that you do, track and trade your global portfolio, and then still find time to do a thorough analysis of the derby?!?! I hope I have as much energy when I am retired (wish I had it now!). I'll...

This argument falls flat because in most markets renters can afford to rent bigger apartments or homes than they would be able to afford to buy.

I didn't mean it was better than trading, just comparing to a primary non-investment home on the basis of potential tax benefits for a savvy person.

Real estate functions better as a tax shelter if it is investment property with rental income.

The max res of that card is 2048 x 1536, does that mean per monitor or total? I found OEMs only $49 here: http://www.compuvest.com/Search.jsp?Search=VCQ4280NVSPB&advsite=grabber

What makes you think the USA will turn into Mexico?

You forget that the whole USA was built up by immigrants. Fanciful thinking though.

Thank You. (although you should have also mentioned the benefits to the economy and fica taxes that they pay, and that the ones taking all the handouts are lazy Americans with a sense of entitlement) Now go fight the real pork if you are concerned about the defecit.

If you have the notion that the deficit is due to Mexican immigration than you need to go study much more basic and elementary subjects and facts than what is being discussed on this thread, then come back at a later date, hopefully capable of making an informed statement.

I am just wondering why give so much weight to one narrow index? If all the other indexes, broader (spx, russells) and narrower (dow) are looking much healthier and in synch shouldn't that be more significant than the one that is stumbling a bit?

There sure is a lot of sickening racism and elitist attitudes on this board, and some of you sound like nazis. There are criminal types of all races. I don't see any waves of crime being committed by illegal immigrants, at least not here on the east coast. Most of the South American immigrants...

I don't see them protesting to demand anything except to be allowed to continue to do their service jobs that we as a country have allowed them to do for the longest time, until now that it has become politically fashionable to suddenly want to stop winking and instead point fingers and call...

This is absurd. They risk their lives to come here to happily do service jobs. If you think those jobs are slavery than you must also think the manufacturing jobs in China are also slavery (but for even lower wages), and you are thus a big supporter of slavery unless you only buy American which...

Agreed the intermediate trend is up, but three lower highs in April signal some caution - If I were shorting I'd use April high as stop. Most troubling though is that the broader indexes look much healthier and if they go to new highs QQQQ will surely tag along.
