true... also ppl who invest in mutual funds only... iirc ~80% of mutual funds do not outperform the markets, and rape you on fees... so you have to ask yourself 'whats the point?'

lol... along with 'core holdings' and avg down.

ask warren buffet... brk just posted the worst year ever and he himself isnt doing too well with his most recent purchases... (of course one could argue hes a longterm guy, but then you can say since hes also a value guy you gotta say he overpaid buying so early)

yeah futs: DJIA INDEX 6,990.00 -62.00

thank you... im guessing things have changed dramatically since ive heard that 12.00 number...

i thought his avg cost was $12.00 (USD)?

non-event right? coupled with the GDP report, C down 28%, SP breaks 741 support, dow came hairs away from 7k (7033)... although we've made a nice comeback lets see where the day takes us.

in which the government will substantially increase its stake in the bank and in return will demand a boardroom shakeup...

i am trading my own money, that is why i am asking how do i go about not losing the license... since i am not affiliated with a firm it will expire/lapse.

better than what? but either way if youre not registered in any states or with any firm for two years it expires as well... on tuesday i will call finra, i just got back in this evening from trip. havent had an opportunity to contact them.

independant what? i was told that it is illegal and they will not do it. theyre response was that if i am not employed there i cannot be registered with them.

you should have sell points in place based on the trade, not the $ amount youre losing.

i will contact finra directly... if i am able to find some advice on this ill post it, if anyone is interested...

not true. if your license has a lapse (after 2yrs of not being registered with a FINRA firm) you will have to retake the series 7 along with any other exam you may have taken/passed.

i removed P&L from my screen... a trade is a trade, youre not trading for a certain dollar amount youre trading bc your strategy told you so... you should have entry points and exit points based on your parameters or research or tech. analysis... not bc your blotter hit $500.00.

seriously... name and location helps.

exactly, ive had it now for 12 years, its something id like to hold on to. none of the traders here had this issue?

for those of you who trade your own capital, and have a series 7... how do you prevent it from expiring?

LOL.

seriously, maybe next they should sell some assetts just to add to the bottom line...
