    Trader wannabe with no money. Work for free?

    hrt2, "Why would they trust you with their money when you have proven you couldn�t handle what little money you had?" Any fund or business that is in the custody of other peoples funds (hedge fund, every financial firm or many other employers today) is going to check your credit...

    Trader wannabe with no money. Work for free?

    Hrt2, You said” I started the topic hoping (urgh) that someone would point a more elegant, eficient way for raising capital, I could have missed something... don't know.” To be blunt, you live in fantasy land. You started the topic hoping someone would have an easy way for you to get...

    Many borrowers in default stay put as lenders delay evictions

    That is unfortunate your situation but no one forced anyone to get a loan. Perfect victim and it is not my fault attitude qwiktrade. Mailing in your keys will really show them (lol) but it is you who will ultimately pay in the long run. Please explain to us how your bank was encouraged to give...

    Many borrowers in default stay put as lenders delay evictions

    Yes, when someone doesn’t pay their bills and stays, they are a loser. We are living “on pins and needles.” Yeah, right. Well, you should be. If they had some integrity, they would have moved. The only problem is the government thinking they are helping things by dragging out the process...

    Obama May Ban All Foreclosures Without Review by Loan-Modification Program

    Quote from Kassz007: Who sent him? The majority of American citizens - that's who. That is without a doubt true. It's also true that the American people have realized what a huge mistake it was and will stop Obama dead in his tracks this fall. Actually, this isn’t entirely...

    High School Trader Looking to Get Pretty Serious With Trading

    Rgilbert93, The absolute worst thing you can do is “get serious” about trading at this stage. You are a punk kid, all of 16, without even a driver’s license (no offense but for your sake, I hope you get what I am saying here). You are so young you have no idea how much you don’t know...

    why do job postings insist on including including "salary" requirement w/resume?

    TraderTactics said “But IMO, if I were you, even if they have asked for a salary requirement, I wouldn't disclose them. I'll probably give them a percentage of what's my worth but will not disclose it. The key is not to refuse to answer but to artfully turn the question back at the...

    Addicted to Average Down?

    Quote from NoDoji: "That's exactly why I no longer use the strategy, because psychologically I just can't bring myself to add to winners! Is that crazy?" I am with pension admin on this one, for all but a very select few, adding to loser is a poor strategy and indicative of psychological...

    why do job postings insist on including including "salary" requirement w/resume?

    OTCkrak, Frankly, IMHO this letter needs major revamping. In the first paragraph, sending your resume, thinking and then saying this qualifies as full commitment is a bit disingenuous right off the bat. It should go without saying that you are committed to the job or you wouldn’t have...

    Is there a way to set a stop loss when writing naked options

    Lasner, Writing naked options isn’t recommended unless you have very, very deep pockets and don’t mind an occasional massive loss (just ask Mark Cook). Having said that, it is your money so the only thing I would recommend to contain a loss is to buy an option above (if selling calls) the...

    how do you keep emotions out of trading?

    Bat1, This line from GOP trader is what you should remember “Then just focus on the process of trading and not the outcome.” I also agree with Handle123’s post. The bottom line is you just don’t take your trading seriously. You are probably gambling and not trading. You don’t...

    Will 2010 be the 2nd leg of the housing collapse?

    In a word, yes. The government interventions may delay this until 2011 IMHO. We have more pain in the housing market IMHO. But in either case, it doesn't affect my trading. It will affect the country though. Good trading TM

    Why not just reduce taxes for poorer people

    Your whole thread premise is faulty. As already stated, the poor already pay no income taxes. This is information that could have been found in 20 seconds with a Google search. Hey, I am all for outside the box thinking. But instead of teaching those essentially outside of what many would...

    The Impact of Wal-Mart Supercenters on Body Mass Index and Obesity

    I am with Clancy and those thinking along those lines. To blame Wal-mart for people’s inability to make choices in their best interest is as bad as the people who sued McDonalds for making them fat. Wal-mart’s job as a company is to provide what their customers want. Period. It is the...

    24 single looking to go full time into day trading

    Contro, I am going to tell it to you straight. Listen to yourself. You have the typical attitude of all young people these days. I am entitled to great success and I don’t really want to work for it. You are wishy washy about college because you see no real payoff today because you want...

    The case against college.

    I just don’t get it about what is so popular about these types of threads and the thinking (or more appropriately the lack of thinking) that goes into them. A few have summed it up quite well (like l2tradr) but it is really simple. The evidence is irrefutable. On average, a person with a...

    The reason 95% traders lose: Humans 'have six-hour window' to erase memories of fear

    No, this is just another convenient excuse for those who don’t make it trading to blame something else for it instead of the real reason: themselves. The lengths those will go to “save face” in their own mind. If you don’t take responsibility for your actions, sooner or later it is...

    College Degrees More Expensive, Worth Less in Job Market

    That is pretty bad Aegis even though I know you are kidding me. I usually proofread every post but still screw the pouch occasionally. I nor anyone else demands perfection but a bare minimum standard is not too much to ask. No one is arguing you can’t be successful if you don’t go to...

    College Degrees More Expensive, Worth Less in Job Market

    Hoffmanw, With all due respect, your figures are a bit off. Your figures could have been checked in 1 minute with a google search (on the first page) but as is common today, you just accepted a number you heard or read and didn’t think about it yourself. Exactly what is wrong with the USA...

    Just lost 5% of my account...

    Failed_trad3r, This may seem harsh but you got what you deserved. Why? You had a plan or strategy (so you say) but at the first sign of it not doing exactly what you want, you went on tilt and ignored the system that is supposed to be designed make you money, not lose money. If you can’t...
