No car, but I can get a really good deal on a bridge...

RS7, I think the NASD will let you be registered series 7 at 16 or 17. Kid, The younger you start the more time you have to become successful. LOL You have less emotional baggage and less preconceived market opinions. Youth is on your side.

From what I hear, if you pay the dues, they will let you use the seat on the Pcoast and CBOE. Whatever it is, it will be cheap for the seat, expensive for the trading lesson.

At my old firm they had a guy who was 16. He had graduated H.S. early and didn't want to go to college. Turned out (so far) to be a good trader as far as I know. I think you have to start young before you develop preconceived notions as to how markets should act and how the real world...

RS7, No Roth either. You actually have no "income" to shelter. All your K-1 income is investment income. Your savings are tremendous in taxes, but most traders would really want a retirement plan if only to shelter money from themselves and their losing streaks....LOL

Well... I stepped out for a few hours and things seemed to get a little off the beaten path. My reality is what I make of it. No more no less. Y'all have your own realities. The key is to, like a ballplayer, play with your own reality or ability. The reality of the matter is I have bills to...

My MBA taught me after spending so much time with a bunch of people who wanted to be brand managers, that I had to find an opportunity that allowed me the independence and financial upside that would let me avoid the big corporations all my life. So far so good. The MBA was worth every penny...

Worst thing I ever did after a bigf losing day was try to comeback the next day twice as big. Then I had two huge losing days in a row. Then, I ate a jalepeno pepper just to be in pain to remember never to do such a stupid thing again. In order to cool the fire in my throat I drank 6 beers...

Benefits.. Bright, and ETG and FNY have medical insurance available at some cost to the trader. K-1 avoids FICA but also prevents the setting up of a retirement plan.

Superstition is for those who can't handle reality. I thought I knew what reality was until I read Darkhorse's treatise. Now I feel like worm poop.

The pressure never leaves; It is a different pressure. Pressure to continue to perform. Relax, I was out the day they taught that at trading school. To perform at the highest levels of any endevour requires concentration, tenacity, persistence, discipline, practice and a deep deep desire to...

"fair and Orderly" is the key phrase. Does it get any more vague than that? But, what is fair? Fair to whom? Should the specialist be required to lose money in order to support a stock? Depends on a lot of things.... If he buys 500 shares every 25 cents on the way down is that fair and...

It is not possible that the specialist is trading for his own account. However, his buddy the $2 broker could have an order "in the crowd" that the specialist is representing and you "matched and lost". I've been told that. I was on "parity" but because the order was small, they didn't break...

I provide some of the necessary liquidity to the capital markets so that emerging companies looking for capital by listing on a national exchange may further their goals ultimately helping build the US economy to higher and higher heights. This in turn provides jobs for millions like yourself...

get it in writing.

I am not sure why you are trying to pick a fight, but if you want to argue,send me a PM.

Stocks and Commodities so I can get more of Don...:D

Mr. Stock is 100% correct. Until you know yourself and know what you really really want, then you will never ask anyone else the right questions.

In all honesty Chas, I assume you trade 99% listed because overall, you get a better shake than in the OTC market. Am I wrong? (Been known to happen in the past.)

As you know from our first encounter many months ago that I was at ETG during my beginning phase and honored my contract even though I could have gotten better elsewhere.
