I would say most definitely. At my firm, maybe only twice in my two years was I not able to short a stock I wanted to short. Then I'd just call our ROP and usually they'd find shares and make them available.

Certainly not half but there are a bunch (at least 9-10 guys out of 40 in my group) making between 100k-300k a year. So averaged out, thats 10K+ a month. But thats only in my specific group. There are a bunch of others group within my firm and I dont know how well they do. I do know of at least...

+622, slow day, made many many small profits. It does add up though :)

Dont you think you should be trading 100 share lots until you show profitability? I mean, if something isnt working all that well, there is no sense to up your size trying to "make it back". I have quickly read through your journal and you seem to be making normal rookie mistakes (which is...

If liquidity is not an issue and there is a 90% probability that the stock will drop 5+ points in my favor and I can use 50.31 as my stop for my entire position so I am risking 11 cents to make 5+ points, I would short at least 100,000 shares. I'd be willing to lose $11k to make over 500k. Of...

Thats cool man, you've been to (and traded from) many places already and are only 27. Sounds like a route that I'd like to take at some point.

Thanks for the compliment. Hopefully when I do reach my 40's I will be a smarter and better trader than I am now :)

Deptrai, Just curious why you though I was in my 40's? My girlfriend keeps telling me I am getting to be an old man...maybe she's right :D

I hear what you are saying but I doubt that the brand new guys outwardly claim to be "elite". If they did, then they deserve to be brought back down to earth. 24 months of profitability is a little extreme. I, myself, have probably only been profitable for 14 months, but have made almost...

Thats pretty condescending considering you are a newbie yourself, at least after reading your million $$ quest thread started THIS PAST Oct, it sounds like you are. Dont get down on traders for being new. No one goes from novice to "elite" overnight.

Member since 1999! Nice work, thats the first pre 2000 handle I've seen so far (at least first Ive noticed)

I quickly went through the first couple pages and realized I recognized only one or two names. I guess we lose some members over the course of 3 years :D

Just for reference. Often times I read posts and wonder what age the poster is and how long they have been trading etc. Thanks to those that participate. Myself: 26yrs old, New York City. Been trading a little over 2 years now fulltime.

I dont know this guy at all but he has been a member here for 2+ years. It would definitely be weird if he just signed up for an account and started to post this stuff. Maybe he should be given the benefit of the doubt?

+430, only traded the first 1 1/2 hrs. Esignal is down so I'm calling it a day.

+1400, first hour was good for me, after that it slowed down dramatically.

well said....everything is an opportunity cost. why have your $$$ tied up long term in a poorly timed investment when you could be making it work for you now?

I posted on this thread long before you did asswipe, seems you are following me this time. Check the first page before you open your silly little mouth again.

Doesnt matter which thread you post on, you just make friends everywhere :D

We are our own worst enemies in this game.
