Maybe you should think about it from the other side of the fence. For IB, an INTERNATIONAL business that deals with millions of dollars each day in electronic form with no branch offices, it would be very easy to launder money through them if you had it that easy to transfer money. Sorry...

Holy smokes, how much do you weigh and how tall are you? 3 plates is a lot to bench unless you weigh around 250lbs (that would be 1.25 your body weight)

I like the flaming guy. Nice Sig.

The traders in the office was saying the same thing! I took a nap, and the others went for an extended lunch. I tried shorting the SPY this morning, but got run over, so I'm a bit tentitive of shorting the close. Market's feel like a slow grind up. DNAJ65000

While I was a trainee with SwiftTrade, I made the mistake of telling my family how I did for the first week. Then after, they expected a daily report as something to talk about. Since they didn't understand the nature of the business, they got distressed when I told them I had a big losing...

As I understand it, price improvment usually is a function of batching order flow. Since there is less institutional activity nowadays, there's not as much order flow for the specialist to give you and I an improvement on. DNAJ65000

As a former trainee at the Vancouver Swift, I'm happy to hear you're going for it. Best wishes for success! DNAJ65000

What kind of style are you trading? Are you trading momentum, pairs, other? Best thing to do is to only use limit orders and don't chase a price down more than once. If you're trading nasdaq, it's not as critical since there's usually more liquidity on the big cap stocks, however, if you're...

My bad. I stand corrected.:eek:

to get the dividend - buy stock on the ex-dividend day - hold it overnight - the stock will be marked down by the dividend amount the following morning (so if it pays a $0.50 div, the stock's price will trade $0.50 lower assuming no other market factors) - you are free to sell it in the...

I asked myself that question many times when I chose trading as a career. What I came up with is that NO, I wouldn't still trade if I had between $2-$4 million in liquid assets. I would invest it in bonds and live off the $70,000 interest/yr and pursue personal hobbies. Trading is a lot of...

Legally, you're not "hired" as an employee of Swifttrade during the first 3 months. You are technically taking a course for $99. But I left because our training class of 8 people all got "fired" or more accurately, "not hired". So that's why I went to Bright Trading. I really enjoyed my...

Hi, I was a trainee with the Vancouver office 4th quarter of 2002. Each office is a bit different in terms of management since it's a franchise but here's a general gist of it. Sorry for the lack of flow cuz it's a cut and paste job from earlier posts. I'm too tired right now to edit it...

Human nature is to do things in one's best interest and as I'm reading your post, it sounds like that's what you're trying to say. The US made a pre-emptive strike to Iraq to protect its national security. Why listen to the UN if it's not their security on the line, right? By the same token...

I'm Canadian and I love the States. Great stock market, great music, great sitcoms. However, truth of the matter is that whether you are Pro Bush or not, it's the opinion of the nations outside of the US that matters most. Let me take the war in Iraq to prove my point. Canada's Prime...

I agree that the intelligence level here is much higher than most message boards....Yahoo being on the opposite end. Of course, you do learn to hone your insulting and flaming skills on Yahoo. :p
