look into "back office" with up-front opportunities to move to middle office to get your foot in the door. no one will hire you straight to middle.

don - i was meaning yesterday/today, as in, after the crash...couldn't find anything in news.google in the past day. hope he continues to be cited, as he was spot on...(or that it's in the weekend editions) EDIT: found dow jones one, knew of zerohedge citation...

OT: don - has dennis been called by either press or congress for his prescient comments?

nice trading, les!

wow, check out PQBW

wow. my first buy on AAPL was 239. my last was much lower. out of it, last sell at 241, but oh my goodness...

it's possible up to a certain size account, if you can find a edge. of course, how big that account can be varies based on your edge. many edges *aren't* scalable - if they were, the big boys would use them or have bought them - but great for individuals. you've got to know that, right...

i built up from a small base. i should have had more of a base (and stayed at my then-job longer to build it up) but that's another story and set of issues. i can completely relate to the part about having great % returns, but not enough to have as a job, because i was concerned about that...

there was a time a few years ago when i saw TMBR on the other side of my exits. got worried about it, then realized it didn't matter. short term, they weren't right or wrong more often. besides, timeframes are different. my exit on a 15 minute chart might be someone else's ENTRY on a 1...

built a little money from my techie job in the mid 90s, traded a little while there and got a little bit, then left in '99. only built my bankroll from a small bit.

it was below where a financial / trading news station should be. it got a LOT worse over the last few years. cnbc also moved away from some of the stock pickers and brought in / encouraged more politics and confrontation. stock pickers, you can point out how bad they were...politics? lots...

i had heard about the stock market, but never did anything with it until as a techie, i was supporting a trading desk and had to have monitors up with the trading data on it, making sure that our data provider didn't go down. that was 14 or 15 years ago. been f/t trading for almost 11...

no, not at all. my IB account is my most active account and (for me) generates the most money. i take out money similar to a kind of salary. my AMTD account, i don't trade much. it goes up slower, and by the same token, i don't take much out of there.

part time based. part price based. part if it doesn't act like it (normally) should. and sometimes level 2, or other associated reasons.

or... IB'ers are more active, and therefore more likely to withdraw money from their account on a regular basis. that's the case for me. as an actual point of reference, my AMTD account is up more since january 1 than my IB account, if you looked at money in account on jan 1 vs now...

interesting...i'm a daytrader, short this for a quick trade... EDIT: covered at 4.05. whew.

i don't see anything that says 2 consecutive years changes things...

yes, cnbc is mostly cheerleaders. they need to go away, and have a mix of people who know what they're doing. periodically, they let haines question things...or faber report things...but there's not much else going on there. liesman? ha. anyone there who's traded profitably? cramer...
