Bono, Don't make me have to put you on ignore. I am more than willing to engage in intelligent discussion - even willing to take personal insults if my remarks are sufficiently inflammatory - but just responding by calling me "stupid" is pretty lame.

Since when has a butterfly spread been a riskless position? Limited risk yes, but riskless? Maybe I've understood it wrong.. Anyway, you wouldn't be able to put one on, since there isn't a prop firm I know of that allows option trading.

rs7, that only affects how much you can take home vs your equity. The firm is prepared to let you carry more overnight if they consider you "hedged" - which by their definition is equal $ longs vs shorts. I don't think this has anything to do with your question though. Maybe you and Don...

First of all, living a high debt lifestyle is NEVER a good idea. I'm in complete agreement with you there. Real estate collapses don't happen "overnight", they might take a year or two. In real estate terms, that is QUICK. It's not just a matter of hitting "SELL" on your keyboard, getting...

I trade those stocks everyday, so I'm perfectly aware of how possible it is to take a couple points from them. Indeed, many people do. My concern was the "tone" of your post - making it sound like all you do is flip on your PC, make a few trades, and whammo! fast cars etc. Also, 4:1 margin...

I'm no real estate "expert", but I can make a couple of points.. Whilst many people would not care to sell their houses no matter what the price situation may be - afterall, buying a house isn't just a money making decision - some people will be forced to sell their houses. A rise in...

I was actually agreeing with you Alpha.. :) Yep, the demand being "artificially" created is a good way to put it ("artificial" only cos we know what "normal" is). Not only are people using added equity to buy houses, they're also using it finance "toys", which inherently decrease in value...

30 Year FIXED? Are you serious? Man, I've never heard of such a long term fixed loan! Has anyone heard of this? Is it through seller financing? I can't imagine a lending institution would give such favorable terms!

1 - The US is busy fighting the "axis of evil", and is ready to fight the whole world in order to complete its mission, in what is regarded as another form of nazism. You gotta love the French! For decades they've leached off the security the US provides and now have the nerve to question the...

I'm not sure if you're serious here, but with thinking like that, the only fast lane you're gonna be in is the fast lane to the poor house.

Supply and demand always "works" - it is always in play. The thing with real estate is that 1) at higher prices there are always going to be more and more builders willing to supply homes, which is great while the demand lasts. 2) With the low interest rates, people are "biting off more than...

The thing is, Vinny Stupidante, that shortboy sucked from 96 right through to 2002. (Not to mention the fact that those results were fabricated anyway!) You wish you could have made 17%? But wait a minute...you're shortdick's biggest fan? Do you mean that a subsriber to his service couldn't...

I was in Barnes & Noble yesterday, and this 30-mid 30ish couple walk in I overhear the husband (I guess looking at William O'Neal's book)- "How to make money in stocks? Ha! Hilarious. Easy. Don't buy 'em!" His wife thought that was a blast, and they both promptly walked over to the real estate...

Well, I'm not sure about you...but most people put it down to about 1776.. Freedom of belief. Is THAT a "Christian prinicple"? exactly..

Not only that, US could take out most countries in the world at the same time.. Iraq posing a difficulty! What a joke! Don't people realise just how far ahead of the pack the American military machine is! Whether or not taking out Iraq is worth it politically (I think it is), getting rid...

SEC motherf**rs need a bullet in the head...

Since I started last year I went 8k in the hole and since turning positive this year, I am up $35k, and at the peak was $40k (been losing in July, dammit!!) So, extend that to a full year..and yep, i excpect nothing less than a $60k year! If you think this is amazing...WAKE UP!!!! It's...

I really think it's time for you to get a clue... The "sleaze and spin" that goes along with being a stockbroker do you mean? These people are traders...nothing to do with stockbroking..apples and oranges. Put up $10k and only get to trade 100shares? Which idiot prop firm would give...

what?? how the hell has it been confusing ...lemme see price is 34.63 ...what is so confusing about that? and "trouble"? please explain.. how has the market "performed"? come on, you tell us..

Don't ya just love questions like these?? :) What exactly is your definition of "minimum risk"? How much are you willing to lose to make that $5k a month? Oh, and, you want a "guarantee" of $5k/month. :D This is just too funny! Sorry to laugh bro, but when you've been around a bit...
