Gents: I want to find a list of firms offering basket trade execution capabilities. If anyone knows of such a list, I would really appreciate your passing it on. Short of such a list (which may or may not actually exist), if you know of brokers providing basket trading functionalities...

Does anyone know of a broker who provides recommendation changes and earnings revision alerts? If so, have you found the data to be useful, timely, accurate, etc? Thanks OT

IU: If you DO have savings, then a better way to use them would be to subsidize your desire to work for a trading firm. Use this time to find a firm for which to work, and don't expect to make any money. If any of your B-school professors have contacts in the brokerage world, leverage...

Has anyone actually gone through the courses and used this service? Before everyone swoops down and tells me that I'm better off reading a book, I know that. I am trying to assess whether a course and service like this would benefit me beyond the books, So, please respond only if you have...

...and this benefits Refco's trading clientele how????

I would like to hear your parallels between the Chinese treatment of their own, vs. the Israeli treatment of the Palestinians. Does it go beyond a simple, convenient and glib barb?

If the Israelis treated the Palestinians as the Chinese did their dissidents, then this thing would have been over in 1967, when the first Palestinians were invented. OT

>>Already possible to manage money for other people with Transact ?<< Virgin, No clue. I did email TransAct to ask. OT

I use TransAct and have found it to be VERY fast and reliable. The software is easy to use, but doesn't have spreading capabilities (they tell me this is right around the corner, but I've heard THAT type of talk from brokers before). I'm familiar with TT and FastTrade, and I certainly don't...

>>I'll say it again;Winnie the Pooh,Dr.seuss,Harry Potter<< Wise choices. From Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, we learn about the negative consequences of blind greed. good lesson for any trader. From Dr. Suess', Horton Hears a Who, we learn that it's not the existence of a world...

It has been my experience that those seeking an MBA to serve as a catalyst for changing their lives, anticipating moving into bold new directions as soon as they can hang those three letters on their wall, are sorely misguided and typically disappointed at the outcome. Those, however, who are...

Those of you who attended last night's chat on Prop trading heard the perspective of a very successful trader, who never finished college. His take was that the traits that make up a good trader aren't specifically quantifiable. Beyond the commitment the Dr. put into the MBA (commitment...

>>>What do you fellows have against an MBA? <<< Thesis envy.

Even tho the book is outdated in the ways you mentioned, the underlying principles still hold true.

It's not necessarily a matter of liking one book more than another. I just like Kiev's book as one of the first to be read because it gets more deeply into the psychology than does Douglas. I really believe that a beginning trader should almost isolate himself in self-analysis to determine...

They BOTH wrote books of that title. Douglas wrote another book I would put on the second-round list, which is The Disciplined Trader. OT
