    Is this shoplifting?

    What they demanded you pay for a product you opened and used in the store. How dare they. I usually hit K-Mart and take one or two swigs from the Pepsi display and break open a box of Goldfish to snack on while shopping. I they start making me pay I may have to switch to Wal-Mart. I hope...

    Who is the Dem choice?

    Dem ticket will be Al Gore and Evan Bayh. Why Evan Bayh ? He is the only potential VP candidate more boring than Al. Campaign slogan "RE-ELECT" Al. Pathetic pack of losers. Hilliary is not electable in a national campaign, only celebrity loving New Yorkers would elect her to public...

    Who is the Dem choice?

    Once again bsmeter shows his complete stupidity on an ET Forum. Bsmeter, the elections are not rigged and you are not clever or funny.

    Bruce Kenison - Is this a Fraud?

    I don't know this system, but if you can figure out a way to "forward test" it, let me know. That would be quite a breakthrough.

    WTC The Movie

    United 93 was a much better movie, in my opinion. I thought WTC was just plain cheesy and not worth seeing. I will agree some of the cinematography was first rate but the story line was like a TV movie.

    Pretty confused

    Yeh, brownsfan I can see using them with a limit attached but a straight buy stop would seem rather risky. What would happen if unexpected news hit the stock and trading was halted, when it reopened you could own stock way above your intended price. I guess I would rather just watch the stock or...

    Pretty confused

    You entered a buy stop order below the market price, of course it executed. That would be like entering a buy limit order above the market price. To be honest I am trying to come-up with a situation where anyone would ever want to use a buy stop.

    Trading is for dumb people

    I kind of agree with Africatrader, most professions are over complicated by the bullshiters, who never really have a grasp on the actual task at hand. Some of you guys who spend all day reading charts and running models are searching for an answer you can't personally comprehend. Intelligent...

    "Everyone is entitled to my opinion" I know that was a mistake but it's terrific anyway. :p

    Going Prop = Resume Killer?

    Okay lets look at it this way if you are a successful prop trader you have succeeded at the purest form of trading, and demonstrate an ability to turn a profit from nothing. Most equity trading positions in the corporate world are actually nothing more than glorified order entry clerks. Who...

    Going Prop = Resume Killer?

    Get real Hydro, if that were the case no one would ever hire a person with car salesman or stockbroker on their resume either.

    What is the worst one day loss you ever had?

    Exactly Surdo, even a retail broker would read the order back phonetically. I also liked the I called my "broker", as a fund manager you would be dealing with 20+ brokers and probably have a trader to do the actual trading.

    What is the worst one day loss you ever had?

    YooHoo that is the biggest bunch of crap I have ever heard. No fund manager is going to book a loss that wasn't his fault. In fact you would be fired if you did. Fund managers hate even having to deal with brokers and they sure as hell aren't going to cut them slack on a $50K mistake.

    Gordon Gekko

    I never figured out what Gekko did for a living either. Is he a hedge fund manager, a private investor, a money manager or what ? The funniest thing about the movie is how Bud went from borrowing money from a co-worker to a penthouse with one client. No one and I mean no one makes that much...

    Conspiracy theory proven August 8, 2006. Class actions?

    Nice job, Optiontrader always blame your failed uneducated decisions on a conspiracy. Why would the market sell off on a proper thoughtful decision by the fed. The current inflationary pressure is being caused by external forces, not money supply. They can't do anything about it, so why would...

    Would this be illegal to do?

    Hold on here guys, the stock in question has to do more than one million shares a day. There is no way you could push/pull the volumes you are talking about.. You have to remember shares are routinely double or even triple reported within the daily volume totals. How in the world could you buy...

    Interview preparation

    Hey mizer, it is a job interview not NBA Draft Night. Unless of course by trading he means trading hoes for some pimp. Better to come dressed in sweats with a $5000 check taped to your forehead.

    two CPU's?

    You use a word like "learnt" and then ripped someone's spelling of loser. I hope that was a joke.
