    CNBC anchors giving market predictions.

    If they knew what they were talking about, they would be traders, not journalists. The only guy I have respect for is Santelli...The rest are a bunch of bozos.

    Advice from you experienced traders

    I know it is your opinion but FWIW, I had a career as an engineer before switching into trading. I did not have this problem as you describe about engineers being traders. I have found great success in this field.

    How do I join a Day Trading firm ?

    You need to be realistic about how long it will take you to become profitable. As you are probably already aware, professional trading is a whole different ballgame from what you are probably use to. Don't let anyone tell you any different. If you plan on trading equities, you can start out...

    daytrader loses it all.

    This goes to show why day trading got such a bad rap!!! It is not for everyone and just because he made a few bucks on a few trades does not mean it is a profession for him. He's got issues and hopefully this bath will teach him how to deal with them the proper way. Give him the number to...

    Anyone watch Fast Money?

    Yeah Bolling doesnt need the $$$ but I'm sure he is not turning it down either. He probably bought his mansion in Cabo with what he has been paid over the last 6 months at CNBC. LOL :p I just made the rookie mistake of actually trading off what these guys actually recommend (AMZN trading at...

    Anyone watch Fast Money?

    I don't watch any of these shows anymore (Cramer, Fast Money, On the Money!). They'll cloud your thinking. Have you ever listened to Cramer; I call him Mr. Flip Flop - he changes with the wind! I don't care how successful he is; the guy is a lunatic. You know why they call that show Fast...

    Keep the $ or Keep Believing in My Dream?

    Ironfist, don't we all know that feeling. I wish I made $400-600 a day when I got out of college. It was more like $150 a day (10.5 years ago) and now it is $350. Good money 10 years ago IMHO. For the young ones (don't take this the wrong way), you got to be happy with what you have now...

    Keep the $ or Keep Believing in My Dream?

    Sounds like someone has a bad taste in their mouth for the 2 brothers he/she is referring to. What he/she is not telling us is why he blew through $70k. Those who lose that kind of coin have a hard time admitting that it is their own fault and try to blame others for their actions.
