Thanks for the info Robert. Got a high-paying job right now so it makes sense to stay retail (I can trade from work discreetly, and before work from home 'cause I'm on the West Coast), but come the next in-between jobs dip (and they always come) I'll be looking at all this seriously. Elvis

Swing from the trees, that is :D

You have rental ladies when you do well :D

Bwahahahahahah!!!! thank you!

He gives a big hint... Check out the WSJ column "Heard on the Street" circa November 1973 I think (he gives the precise date if memory serves but it's been a few years). That'd be the date when there was an article about him and his analysis of the medical firms he was covering for the Pyramid...

Well, Updkike I can do without :D Hey, do you remember that piece about the Turkish rug merchant, a couple of years ago? I never cared or knew about rugs and yet that was so deeply satisfying and profund. Typical New-Yorker stuff :) Elvis

I have a subscription. Been reading the stuff for years, and I grabbed whatever I could find at the library to read the rest. Yeah, they're far from perfect and often irritating. They reflect a certain NY bourgoisie. Ohhh! They wish so bad that Gore could have been elected. But every 2 weeks or...

Aha! I knew that I would pick up good trading tips from this board! Off to the liquor store I go!

Anybody who has ever tried their automated translation software knew that this thing was a goner. Actually, anybody who think that they can make good automated translation software is a goner :D If they say that their software does more than one language (like 5 or 6), you're looking at the...

Thanks Robert. Actually, I had checked the web site but I should have worded my question differently. The commission info is clear on the site, but I was looking for things like capital required vs margin levels etc... I'm at the exploratory stage for this and it might well be 6 months or...

Well, I thought that if they open a local office, they'd hold some info sessions locally. Elvis

Their web site says "in the works". I know that some people connected with the firm are on this board. What is their deal structure for remote traders? Any info welcome. Elvis

Hey GeorgeSoros! With a name like that, we expect you to answer the questions, not to ask them! :D Elvis

A little bit of history for youse kiddies out there :D It was not always like this in Canada, where I lived for a few years. Circa 1982, Brown & Co was one of the first discount brokers to hit Canada. I could not wait to switch. Boy it was so great! This guys were pro's and they sounded like...

Wow! There was an outfit pushing options on gasoline futures in a TV infomercial near the top of the bull market circa 1999-2000. I heard a radio commercial very recently that sounded like the same scam.
