Educate yourself, take responsibility for your future (which you are off to good start) and then invest some money. Once you learn what your choices are you will in a better position to invest yourself or know enough that you can hire competent financial advisers. Good luck BM

ByLoSellHi Typical lack of understanding of what matters in the real world. It is always someone else’s fault and I am not responsible for my own choices, in the market or otherwise. You are saying because you are not smart enough to make good decisions, it is someone else’s fault and not...

I am probably wasting my breath here trying to advise you but I just can’t help myself sometimes I guess. What the others are trying to subtly tell you is that if you are too lazy to “care” about simple communication skills, how lax are your business or trading skills? If you don’t sound...

wiesman02, A couple pieces of advice for you. First, you have no business increasing your shares traded until you are CONSISTANTLY profitable. I would recommend going back to 100 share lots until you are profitable at least 10 business days in a row. Once you reach that you can increase your...

Giles, Your right I didn’t get your point. But now that you have clarified I agree with you all the way. Human nature never changes. That is a great way to look at it andrasnm. Good trading all. BM

Reaver, I never said the middle class would disappear just be smaller. They take money from everywhere they can to make up for the underachievers, lower class or whatever you want to call them. And I would also venture to guess that the majority of the middle class or at least upper middle...

Giles, The fact that you are asking what has changed is amazing to me. Let me just start with a few examples that seem obvious: When you (and I) graduated from HS computers were just starting to be mainstream. My first computer was a 10 MEGAhertz processor, a massive 1.44meg floppy, with 128K...

Hello All, One more point I would like to make on the topic. As we all pretty much agree, you don’t have to go to college to trade but it can possibly open some doors at a minimum. I will always advise someone to get some advanced education but as some others here show, that is not the only...

Giles my good man, Your’re right that the majority of college grads are in debt, but respectfully, so are most of the non grads. I happen to be one with no credit card debt but that is pretty rare these days among almost everyone. I have no income from a JOB either. I have some investments...

My bad Youngtrader. I guess I lost track of your post in the menagerie of the 57 pages. Good luck to you young man. BM

Giles117 You make some very good points. And I agree with most of what you say. You’re right I was speaking about some of my friends, admittedly a small sample. Hey, I don’t feel sorry for them either. They are diversifying assets into other areas but are certainly not financially...

I have been a member of ET for a long time but rarely post because 97% of what is said is not worth reading and is a general waste of time. Especially for the newbies, whether discussing trading or life advice they don’t have the knowledge to separate the wheat from the chaff, which is...
