thanks gary and bill! yeah, another poster replied and said basically the same thing. i decided to pay for it and get info via interactive brokers. their charts aren't great, but i already had an account with them, so it was very simple to set up info with real time charts (for a fee, of...

hi, since no one has answered my original question, i'll ask again. 4re, i remember you saying you are trading through esignal but getting your charts from optionsxpress. do you need to have an account with them to get charts? i am (obviously) new to futures and i want to do virtual...

Does anyone know of a site where I can get real-time futures charts without having an account set up? Thanks.

the no apr shouldn't have any negative effect on your building a credit rating at all. the companies are looking for a pattern of paying on time, so as long as you do that, you should be fine. i think the idea of moving in with sis sounds grand. and 400/mo would be less risky than 800/mo...

hey dude, i'll help you. the answer is, it depends on where you live and your specific location. you'd have a better chance of being able to do it if you rent from a local person or small owner as opposed to a larger apartment complex which is corporate run. if you can pay for a year in...

rofl- i've noticed (have you?) that all the people saying how great and lucrative medicine is are people who are not in it. recruiters and other assorted types who see it from the outside in, not folks who see it close up, who are in it, or have loved ones in it. sure, some docs make a...

now you know, dude. that's what i was trying to tell him yesterday, though in a slightly more gentle fashion. apparently, dazed thinks he knows everything. sorta makes you wanna let him land on his face. all the really arrogant, uptight premed/med types my brother went to school with used...

hmmm....sorry to tell you this, but...um, yes, a lot of the highest paid ones are....

such a joke! where are you getting your stats? my brother works with all of the above and none of them makes that kind of money straight out of residency. furthermore, cardiothoracic surgeons work their behinds off, don't even get out of residency till their mid 30's. residents make roughly...

hey dazed: listen to the man. it's what i'm trying to tell you....

my brother is a doctor, so i've followed his career throughout. the great thing about being a doc is nearly guaranteed income. however, i think your estimate of making $500,000/yr by 32 is ridiculous. average doc makes low 100's first 5 years after residency, then more after that. some...

amen, lu!

got to agree with john. for most who wanna trade, i'd say don't quit your day job till you're sure you can do it. don't care how smart or how good or how attentive you are, it's hard to make a go of it consistently and everybody loses sometimes. it's just too hard on the ego unless you have a...

he really is a scam-o-rama. the best thing i ever learned from him was to go to investors business daily. i don't even listen to him anymore. he is just a hyped salesman. he is always recommending stocks that go up or down in the short run, then tank over the course of several weeks. rarely...

married, and hubby is glad i do what i do. he finds my trading boring, so i don't give him many details, but if something goes particularly well, i mention it and he's happy for me (us). actually, to address what was said earlier about what women look for in men, men are clueless. that is why...

bravo. you have captured the essence of this truth. can live in a shotgun shack and still be happy. consistent with my last post, i would say you are likely happiest in your shotgun shack if you have friends and family whom you trust and who love and support you.

okay, i'll weigh in on the topic. i'm amazed at how many on this thread believe that money CAN buy happiness. money can help you be more comfortable. money can help you be more secure. no one is saying that people don't work for money, they do. but sorry guys, money doesn't buy happiness...

i couldn't disagree more. renting can make YOU wealthy IF you invest the difference and do it well. your argument seems to presuppose that the person in question is an average trader/investor (read: poor) and a savvy real estate purchaser. shows a bias toward real estate and sounds like a...

yes, just the exterior. and i went with the lowest of the 3 estimates. wow, where do you live? maybe i could get your painter to do mine?

one more point i forgot to mention. a good trader can make 20-30% or more per year on capital invested. a savvy investor can double her money in 3-5 years. on average, home prices do not double in that period of time. a colleague of mine has owned a home for 20 years and his home has just...
