    More Trading firms like Alliance Capital?

    I think that Carter is an honest and honerable man. He's better than those crooks in Washington who will say anything if they think it will be popular. Exclude those good guys that are friends of the island.

    More Trading firms like Alliance Capital?

    You must have been slumming when you were in Jamaica. Stay away from the slums. Hang out in the middle/upper class places in St. Andrew, which is the upper half of Kingston extending into the beautifull hills.

    Trading for a Low-Paying Living

    There were some long side winners on Thursday and on Friday. I am aware of them. But, the risk is much higher for going long on sell-off days.

    Trading for a Low-Paying Living

    The other three days I dont trade. I trade only on days that stocks are heading up. Would you have done any long side trading on Thursday and Friday last. You would'nt do that when laying out several positions. And I do not do any short selling.

    Can a wall street trader making only 50k yr (1k week) keep his job. At that level, what kind of money is he making for the firm. I dont know any of them, but I'd guess that they make far in excess of 50k.
