yeah I wish I was good at chess. I thought I was good until I went to college and played against real players.

I think that Iraq can be handled much the same way as Afghanistan. Why reinvent the wheel.

from what I know about Bright, if you are a swing trader or a position trader you will never generate enough commissions to avoid the desk fee. Their rates are setup for pure daytrading.

are there any prop firms that allow or encourage fixed income trading? Also, what are the margin rates at prop firms running these days ?

deregulation, enron type manipulation, and the stock bubble all came together to create overcapacity. It could be a decade or more until it works itself out, especially if the economy grows slowly. In the mean time, I think credit ratings and dividend yields are the name of the game.

Hey folks, the attack in Bali should just remind us that it isn't just the big bad U.S. that these people are after. These terrorists have an overall agenda for manipulating the world. The attack on Bali had absolutely nothing to do with the U.S. Only two of the dead were americans. Any...

lol, this has become pretty funny actually. I'm moving on to other threads where the issue hasn't been decided yet. see ya !

Max, thanks for arguing semantics with these guys. They are worse than Clinton.

there is no one single reason why johnny can't trade, because everybody is different, but we have the obvious contributing factors. --desire to pay the monthly bills exclusively from trading. If this is the goal, then certainly 90% or more will fail to achieve it. It is one thing to be...

You want me to define extreme left ? Extreme left is being more left than the majority of democrats in congress. Good enough ? GUESS WHAT....... The majority of democrats in congress VOTED IN FAVOR USING FORCE AGAINST IRAQ. GET IT ? This debate is over. Move On.

hey libs, the only thing pointless is your opposition to getting rid of a dictator. Face up to it and move on. Maybe you can put this thread to rest and debate something that hasn't been decided yet, the Iraq thing is done. The President , the House, and the Senate, all have decided it is ok...

sorry libs, but your leadership has abandoned you. Don't be like the japs hiding out in the caves after WWII was over. Come on out, admit reality. Sadam has got to go and the sooner the better.

as long as these firms are taking in random people off the street, all of them are going to have roughly a 50% failure rate in the first year on average over time. What would be interesting to me is does the survival rate improve or not. If you start with 100, then 50, then 25, that is just...

by the way, an awfull lot of democrats in the house and senate voted in favor of Bush. You can let your guard down now, the majority of both parties are now willing to see an attack take place.

"tackling and talking about very real problems this country has should not be confused with an attack, quite the contrary. a status quo leaving much to be desired and that is unchallenged poses the real threat to the future of the usa, not the fact that the status quo is being challenged on...

lol, this is obviously for real.

its funny how this thread veers off into a wide critique of american society. The people that are against attacking Iraq really just have a problem with American society, and the Iraq thing is just an excuse. I don't think that anybody is REALLY going to be upset simply because we get rid of...

embargoes on essential commodities with global markets don't work. Oil flows out of the middle east not because they are the only ones with oil, but because they have the cheapest oil. Embargoes and other interventions will only drive up the cost of oil to the consumer, it will not do anything...

wake up and switch to IB or another similar firm. Maybe those "pikers" are a lot smarter than you think. Maybe the dumb ones are those that pay $600/mo just for the priveledge of trading at a brokerage office and pretending that they have a real job.
