    Cramer says take profits now

    Boy, I was afraid it was the Cramer that cost me gobs of money (stupid me) subscribing to his 'buy list'. Unfortunately, I followed his advice, cost me over $5,000 PLUS his subscription fees!! Dumb Ass (Me, for listening to a huckster)

    Inside the Industry - Chat w/ Don Bright

    Jack: The earnings are not yet consistently at $200k plus, I'm doing closer to $140,000 or so. But, if I hadn't "wasted" so much of my original 'stake', I think $250k would be quite possible. I trade off of a $50k 'stake' using short-term (1 to 15 days carry) pairs, and the Bright's...

    Inside the Industry - Chat w/ Don Bright

    Okay, I'm not E.Trader savvy enough to be able to review your questions as asked, but, I'll try to answer as remembered! The firm is an excellent trading company. They are NOT a good training company, especially for a newbie such as I two years ago. I should have studied several...

    Inside the Industry - Chat w/ Don Bright

    In a company the size and 'flatness' of Bright, one person often has to serve multiple functions (I know, I've owned three small business in lives past). Only the 'big boys' (GS/MWD/MER, etc.) can afford (due to client fees/costs/commissions) to pay for recruiting staff, selling staff...

    Inside the Industry - Chat w/ Don Bright

    Not sure the esoteric meaning of "totally ethical", nor as amazed with 777's (anonymous) omniscience and elitism, but I can say that the Brights run a 'totally' ethical business based on my experiences over the past 2 years. They are hones, they fulfill their promises and they meet their...

    Inside the Industry - Chat w/ Don Bright

    Yes, but, that would destroy his credibility!! The 'stars' in this business typically ain't what the media want (buy, buy, buy, it's all good, etc.)!! Honesty doesn't sell advertising time, especially for the retail brokerage houses!! Good-Luck anyway. Surprised WSJ is 'smart enough'...

    We'll know it's a bottom (unofficially) when Maria B. starts proclaiming that everyone is shorting!!

    You could start by putting a smile on Bob's picture (see their sight)! That would be closer than the Marines, probably. . . . Good news, they may look like everyday guys (NOT the 'up-tight' Wall Street types), but, they's a whole lot smarter (and more honest)!!

    Neovest-FirstAlert/DirectFeed

    Glad to hear the 'newest' version is much better. My last experience using the version I described above, was in early summer of 2002. I know NeoVest has 'blamed' some of Bright's issues (in the past) on the connection, but, Bright was using the connection they recommended (at least at the...

    Pairs Trading Strategy Model

    Large Capital Listed pairs are the only way to survive and make a living trading pairs. I've learned the hard, expensive way! Use #1-#4 (by capitalization) within an industry. Plot the 'spread' carefully, go with the 'side' of the spread to return to the center/average (short-term). And...

    Neovest-FirstAlert/DirectFeed

    Used NeoVest/1st Alert at Bright for almost 2 years. NOT impressed. Their technical support is good, but, shouldn't be needed so much. From a technical perspective, it appears to be an old, tired 'main-frame' product 'Rube-Goldberged' for the PC/Satellite environment. It goes 'down'...

    Having slashed content, RealMoney raises prices...

    They're 'come-ons'. If it's current, recent information you get a screen offering free trial, just enter credit card. If it's 'older' (yesterday's news), you'll get the article. Forewarned is fore-armed (or something like that)!

    Need more info on Pair & Opening Strategies

    I'm at Bright. Took the class two years ago. It was worthwhile, but, not immediately beneficial to trading. I've wasted (trading) an awful lot of money developing a Pairs Trading system that works for me. Not sure these things are 'transferable'. Bright has a couple of offices that offer...

    Having slashed content, RealMoney raises prices...

    Too bad, seemed like a better deal last year. I used it for 9 months and just cancelled as well. They 'dumbed-it-down' and charged more. Hmmm, sounds like Schwab, Morgan Stanley, and most other Trading/Analyst sites. I guess without the M/A bucks, these guys can't cut it! Briefing.Com...

    Trading in Arizona

    Bright's Arizona office is excellent. Very helpful manager (Leon T.) and 3 or 4 'heavy-hitters' that are willing to 'help-out' if you're willing to listen. H.Hitters - Quite successful, including time subsequent to the 'bull boom' that ended in 2000. Two are former 'floor traders', the...

    Are you guys prepared for this bear market +5 years?

    Sat in a seminar given by John B. in December. He claims that we're in the 4th year of a 16 year Bear Market Cycle. Not sure we're going to get that "2nd half turnaround" this year, again!! The pairs are working, the bills are being paid, it will be a long while before the fortune can be...
