    Discount broker salary

    Lawsuits, NASD suspensions, and jail time will stop you from doing that. When I went from Morgan to Merrill I was threatened with this because I took a client from another MS broker. I didn't steal the info really, I did vacation coverage for the MS broker and made a good connection with the...

    95% of traders lose

    I don't think people go to the ''gurus'' b/c 95% fail. I think 95% fail b/c they go to these gurus. The first instinct is to be ''right'' or to ''master the markets". Much more important to master yourself. It's so easy to pick out the bad traders. They're the guys touting or...

    The Movie Thread

    Baby keeping me up late so I'm checking all these chit chat threads. The other night I watched V for Vendetta. The reviews sucked , but I kinda liked it. And yeah, Casino Royale was good. I wasn't happy when I first heard Daniel Craig was gonna be Bond, but he surprised me. Can't...

    Yesterday's 16% increase in home sales was also a 19% decline from last year

    I agree. Waiting and watching on the sidelines. There's another problem though which I wrote about before. Tax assessments. This is going to kill the middle class and hurt everyone across the board. This is a typical scenario: Middle class family buys a home that they can really only...

    Southwest is the worst airline

    As a Father of a 7 week old boy, I have to ask, are you serious? I just don't understand people that bring infants out to public eating est.'s and such. If the flight was unavoidable, well I guess then there's nothing that can be done. But , my wife and I went to a nice dinner last week...

    twitter for Traders - wallstreak.com

    It only failed b/c you were involved. :) Wallstrip is a huge success in less than a year. Regarding Ugly's site and wallstreak...I used to like his site...but the last few months it has lost it's edge.

    4 Top threads are 100% up room to go threads - We've topped

    I only trade based on statistics and one strategy that has 100% win rate is fading marketsurfer. He shorted MFW...the fade made 100% in a month. He got long NFI ..again 100% winner in just a week or two. Now he's long the YM after trying to short it 50x's. Signal of a top? I don't...

    neiderhoffer

    Very nice. And to keep the analogy going, marketsurfer is Annette from the movie Saturday Night Fever. Desperate for Tony's attention, she'll even submit herself to a gangbang in the backseat.

    Trader P/L 2007

    I do a fraction of that daily volume and pay much less. You're getting whacked. Re-negotiate right now. If they don't give you .003 or better you'll have no problem getting it elswhere. I'm sure you've receiveed 100 PM's from guys trying to get overrides off you, but you won't get one from...

    Taxes and the K-1?

    I have to disagree with you here. I've used TurboTax a few times, including this year. It has a section specifically for K-1s. They also make it easy to import your retail trading acct info..although I ended up doing my by hand b/c they didnt have ThinkorSwim on the list , but I think I neede to...

    Hire "traders" to work for you?

    I live in upstate New York. The pros are low office rents, lower salary to pay out, lot sof colleges in the area. The con is that most of the 'talent' goes to NYC to work.
