    Paris Hilton Jailed!!!!!

    It would be a truly shocking black swan if Paris so much as sets foot in a prison cell on June 5th. Hear me now and believe me later: not gonna happen. Look for a successful appeal and an alternate, jail-free sentence.

    How much different Is forex from the stock market

    I was a quant. In a previous life aka the rat race. Took me a long, long time and tens of thousands in losses to get over that mindset for trading, to the exclusion of right-brain thinking, such as TA. Sounds like all that quant baggage, er, stuff, still slips through in my posts...

    How much different Is forex from the stock market

    You mean Jack Hershey, advocating trendlines, channels and S/R? Had no idea. For me, yes. I find all those tools useful in more reliably interpreting pure price action. Especially S/R, together with recurring patterns and time.

    How do you know you have passed Series-3

    No problem. Incidentally, you were otherwise absolutely correct in your initial post above, without the phrase "through a company." That is, a sponsor is not needed to take the Series 3 Exam, but, once you've passed, it's indeed "use it or lose it" (within 2 years).

    How do you know you have passed Series-3

    That is incorrect on both counts. A sole proprietor can register as an NFA member, e.g., in the CTA, CPO, IB, even FCM categories; no attached role / additional test are needed. You are considered both an individual and a firm, as is standard for sole proprietorship as an entity. I know...

    How do you know you have passed Series-3

    No, Series 3 is different than most others: a company is not necessary to hang your Series 3 in. You can apply for NFA membership in a number of categories (incl. CTA, CPO, IB), as a sole proprietor.

    MIT admissions dean had one year of college.........

    Correct: "Phillip L. Clay, M.I.T.’s chancellor, said in an interview that a college degree was probably not required for Ms. Jones’s entry-level job in the admissions office when she arrived in 1979." Oh, great. As if that somehow turns her massive lifelong fraud into a harmless...

    MIT admissions dean had one year of college.........

    Well done, Ms. Jones, you devil. (Part 7.) Count'm, 3 fake degrees... that takes balls. Now, if you so much as get caught cheating on your SAT or "borrowing" from the internet on some silly high school assignment, your ass is grass, as far as getting into a good college. I say, let's throw...

    FOREX signals on this thread. No strings attached.

    "some were taken" -- yes, SL=100 is still far too close, on the daily time frame, particularly for some of the majors. As another recent example, take a look at GBP/USD on Friday the 13th (hah) 2 weeks ago and drill down that morning... a 100-pip, news-driven (US PPI and Trade Balance) drop in...

    The ultimate b!tch shield?

    The perp conveniently grabs you above the waist and below the neck and, best case, gets shocked. Depending on the surroundings, he recovers sufficiently before you manage to escape. Enraged, he knocks you down (your head, neck and legs are unprotected). Now, aren't you glad you're wearing your...
