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.

Sounds like trading has gotten the best of you. I agree, trading is not for everyone. I am not using myself as a reason for everyone else to pile in. I am simply recommending he weigh all options instead of taking the pessimistic opinions that a MAJORITY of traders make because they did not...

Would like to know if anyone is interested in setting up shared office space in Charlotte NC. I am an equities trader that currently trades from home. Time frame would be summer/fall of 2008. If you are interested, please respond or send PM. Thanks

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.

I was in a similar situation about 1.5 years ago. Ended up leaving automotive industry AS AN ENGINEER. And yes, because of my interest in the trading industy and through hard work, have found great success. So, if you have the passion and drive to succeed in trading, you can make it. Don't...

John, I recently left my career in corporate America to follow my heart in trading. I joined Bright Trading and use strictly the pairs trading strategy. Not sure what strategies or experience you have in trading but go to their website and contact Don Bright. That will be a good start...

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...

Don't worry about the lack of experience or college degree. If you have the drive to succeed, you can make it in equities trading. Not sure how much capital you have to put up but it takes quite a bit to be successful in this biz. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking you can do it with...

why MS 07 excel versus 03 version

You cannot buy options (less than 9 months expiration) on margin so don't worry about it.

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...

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...

Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention a bunch of legalized pumper and dumpers.

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...

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...

LOL:p

Sakura, don't take my post the wrong way but you are responsible for your own actions. You'll learn in the long run that you learn from your mistakes and trust me, it will help you excel to the next level in whatever path you chose. Good luck!

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.
