and wise enough to know when not to! BTW, I just started in 1979 with oil stocks during the iran hostage crisis....still learning.

and so am I:eek:

now i am waiting for someone to tell me that this couldn't have REALLY happened, because at the time Einstein would have been worm poop.

I believe that the qqq's are supposed to trade one pt. for every 40 pts. of the NDX (nasdaq 100). But since they trade after 4pm, and the index closing price stops a 4, often the prices can be out of line the next day to compensate.

An old joke: Einstein was waiting in a long line to get into heaven. Asks the guy next to him what his IQ is. Guy says 110. Einstien says "good, we can discuss woman and sports" Then he asks the same question of the guy in front of him. Guy says 140. Einstien says "good, we can play chess...

Chas...didn't you call a bottom for yesterday?

OK...almost sorry I started this thread. Seems to have morphed into a forum on God, religion, metaphysics, personalities, freedoom of thought & speech, physics, astrology, astronomy, and other assorted non resolvable issues of belief. My intent was really to see how many of us really were...

i sent don a private message asking if they had florida offices...didn't get a response....anyone know? don?

yup, an evil dude...try ADI early in the day if you want to meet the devil himself. and aol when the stock was expensive? i think hitler was the specialist then.

WOW....I paid about 7k a month in the late 80s....guess business has fallen off!!!

Believe me........if his mamma has anything to say about it, he'll be anything but!!!!!!!

Yeah, yesterday was opening day...home opener. I am not sure if he was "sammy" yesterday...haven't spoken to him. They have him doing different stuff all the time. I just think the mascot thing is really funny. BTW...he wants to be a trader!!!

Really? Since when? Do you need a series 3 to trade them there?

thanks stu...... i have a teenage boy...he thinks i am obsolete....except when he needs $

I don't know....I just hope. I hate to think I can become obsolete at my tender age:(

Interesting....you can be a registered rep, but not have an account? Can't even have a checking account at 17. Well, I guess that makes sense in the same way that you can work in a bar and serve liquor when you aren't old enough to drink it.

You are right about mixing issues..... I don't see anywhere where I claimed science, religion, superstition, anything was WRONG....If you go back a bit in this thread, the only thing I felt was WRONG was using BLAME disguised as superstition to explain away the misfortunes that some people...

I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure that you cannot have an account in your name at 17. You cannot have a joint account, and you cannot have discretion in someone elses account. This is probably to your benefit. Paper trade until you are of age.

Sad but true. Modern science could not save my wife from cancer at a very young age. Trading can't be predicted with science...as I mentioned in another post, if it could, I am sure my firm would replace me with a computer. My success comes from the gut...a scientifically unexplainable...

Gee.....thought I knew that one for sure. Guess I have been misled. By the way, see that eclipse 2 weeks ago? When the astonauts landed on the moon in 1969, I heard they were initially planning on landing on the sun, because they thought it might be a shorter trip. But they knew they would...
