Assuming everyone was relatively young when they started...where did this money come from?? Savings?Loans?Assistance from family?

Since most traders lose a significant amount of money when starting out and learning to become profitable, I'm curious what everyone's "tuition" was before achieving a consistent level.

What a moron this guy is. A PhD is a noteworthy achievement but to expect it to open the gate to success in trading is down right retarded. I'm going to school for an MBA for the sole reason of having something to fall back on incase I can't cut it day trading. Look forward to having some...

You can only short stocks on an uptick. For example, if you wanted to short stock xyz at 30 you can only sell shares after it ticks up from 29.99 and not when it ticks down from 30.01. This is a rule that is in place so that short sellers dont cause/contribute to an overwhelming decline in the...

It HAD to have something to do with Anna Nicole..

Youre going to need to be more specific regarding your experience, techniques, and instruments you trade before you start getting any replies with advice. These are all important factors in deciding how much margin, if any, you need to use. Good Luck.

I used to work at a Country Club where most of our members were old. I talked stocks with this one guy regularly and he called them puppies.......perhaps its an old fashioned term.

I figured this would be a shorter term strategy. What makes you bearish on it if it can't hold it's recent highs? Why are these particular levels significant? Thanks.

Okay I've been studying TA recently, particularly stochastics as an overbought/oversold indicator. Is it fair to say that by looking at this chart that MSFT looks like a buy at around this price or am I mistaken. I just need some reassurance to make sure I'm on the right track to interpreting...

Good point....can anyone name some successful people that aren't also known for having big egos? Donald Trump is infamous for having a huge ego (although I'm sure many will argue that he's not all that successful). Bill Gates seems like a sort of modest guy but he has so much freaking money I...

It's obvious you haven't been here for very long...

It's a lot easier to have a big ego on the internet than in person. The internet allows people that are pushovers in their everday lives to get on and act superior to strangers. Not to imply that anyone on here is like that...

In his defense, it isn't exactly the hot young vagina that we've been fantasizing about for years. It was an old washed up stretch mark ridden trailer trash vagina.

And by the way....when I started a thread asking for opinions on what I should do with the 40k in capital gains from the house my parents bought me for college I got a few lashes for being a spoiled twat.....where'd this 200k come from anyway??Someone let him have it already!!

The question is, how would you allocate the 200k and how much risk are you willing to be exposed to? Unless you can handle a lot more risk then I think your money manager is doing a pretty good job. If i remember correctly I think you're like 20 years old...that's a pretty nice chunk of change...

Ok I got it now, I'm fairly new around here and was snooping around on puretick and put two and two together when reading this thread. I've enjoyed watching some of your videos recently...its helping me learn what to look for when reading charts. I'll shut up before someone accuses me of being...

So Spectra....you're cajun sniper on puretick?

cash, are your quotes really delayed 15-20 minutes with the scottrade elite platform as your screenshot indicates? how is that?

I might not be able to give you the expert knowledge and wisdom you may be looking for but this is my take. You're young and really don't have to commit to a single career for the rest of your life...I'm sure you realize this but it seems that a lot of people our age think that they have to pick...

Maybe he wanted an opinion from actual career traders??? Ever consider that?.....just my two cents..
