Most of my friends who gets hired by them, granted they are business majors but usually have no clue about stocks or the stock market. I think all they require is some kind of bachelors and a willingness to learn on the job. And also, quit thinking and just do it. :D

This thread is trash worthy. Someone please delete this thead.

Scottrade is a first class brokerage. Many of my friends work there. Why don't you go knock on the doors of your nearest Scottrade and see if they have any openings.

Pursuit of happiness is the greatest pursuit of all. What makes you happy, you must pursue it and quit infringing on what or what won't or don't make others happy.

Maybe possibly due to the fact that those companies that do pay dividents are primarily utilities/dull companies that are mostly held by institutions and thus there is not many sellers to drive the price down.

The question comes down to, would you rather be in the 5% that splits the 95% of the money, or the 50% that splits the 50% of the money.

Yeah, its offshore hedge funds. Read that somewhere.

I think it is weeding through your own trading to see when the odds are in your favor. Then having the patience to sit and wait to take only those sure fire trades. And then having the discipline to get stopped out without damaging your account.

I just want to take my time to say that your advices have helped me a lot. I haven't moved my stop in 2 days. Even when I moved them, I only moved them to the Break Even Point. I am slowly but surely shooting for the tree top rather than for the stars or the moon. Thus, a positive day is...

The real $ lies in how much I wanted to keep them all. I already have an extensive collection of VHSs that is well around 100 right now. Just like people collect stamps, I like to collect trading Videos. I have priced them a bit higher, but it is much lower when compared to how much I would...

What's DD? Due Diligence?

Fighting hard out there. +$55 Today. Just trying to take only the sure things. Had 9-10 trades, 8 of them break even, one winner of +$110, and got stopped out of one for -$50.

I am sorry that this may seem surreal to you guys, which still kind of leaves me baffled. Only rational explation would be that I used to win quite a lot of "Most Unique" superlatives when I was young. Here is the last trade with the account statement. I just can't believe somebody just...

Part 1 was very interesting. Oh man, how did you blow out $900K?

Anyone here know what is the biggest component in the DJIA?

SMAs were down. And there was this small pull back to the top, and thinking that the prices were headed down to establish the lows of the usual daily range, I jumped the gun and shorted it. Even then, my supposed system should allow me to get in anywhere, anytime and be alright if I could...

Where's the pun :confused: (lol) I knew what I was doing wrong, and I didn't think I would do it again. But, just when I thought it wasn't going to happen, it happened in a different way. It happened because I never have to take a -$50 loss on the first few trades, and also because it...
