    Series 7 Without working for a firm????

    I am not sure if they are reliable or not, I do know one person who had a good experience with one of them. The thing is the test is really not difficult and I am nor sure if you will be more marketable with one.

    Arguments Against Flat or ConsumptionTax?

    Look if you buy a $30,000 car your tax will be more like $7000 that is an additional two years of payments for the average Joe. Believe me it would kill the RV, Auto, Aircraft, and Boat Industries and many others.

    Arguments Against Flat or ConsumptionTax?

    A consuption tax such as a federal sales tax would never work. The rate would need to be set at 20%+ and would kill the auto and large ticket industries. It would create a huge black market and a barter society. People would simply trade goods and services to avoid tha tax.

    Prop & Series 7

    Surdo are you an idiot or what ? You don't need a Series 7 to trade Other Peoples Money. Do you actually think Hedge or Fund Managers and their traders are NASD regulated. Get a clue before you post.

    At one point in my life I owned a Ferrari and believe me it was the biggest mistake of my life. That car was the biggest piece of euro-crap on the planet. My question would be why would any quality peoduct want a Ferrari badge straped to it.:p

    Main Causes of the Great Depression

    Holy Crap........Where do you guys come up with this socialist B.S. The wealthy are in a conspiracy to keep you in poverty ? Your father went broke because he borrowed money he could not re-pay. That was his fault. I feel for anyone who loses a job but if you own your posessions you will manage.

    Homeless finds US bonds in trash

    Hey BSMETER thanks for posting the story, let's see the bonds went to probate and were worthless to the person who found them. Isn't that exactually what I said ? As I also stated it was a nice gesture on the part of the finder, but why is it worth anything more than the $100. It is also...

    Series 7, 63 expired

    Why would I "make this up". There is an NASD Petition For Re-Instatement provision and any real compliance person would be familiar with it. If the 7 expired because you were working on the buy side they will almost always grant it back. The process however is slow and can take up to three...

    Series 7, 63 expired

    I am so tired of people on this site giving crap answers to serious questions. The NASD can and might reinstate your 7 if you can prove you have remained in the business, buy side etc. The compliance person at your new firm will be able to help. The thing is it is faster to just re-take the...
