i just made the post justto give everyone a heads up who did'nt remember the number was supposed to come out. however,i will chime in a bit on this discussion since i started the post. 5.1% might be historically low but you have to focus more on the jump. the jump from 4.7 to 5.1% is big for...

rate climbs to 5.1%. last months dismal data gets revised even lower.

thanks for the heads up. at 667 now.

this number was obviously very negative. also,LEH lowered all the brokers. look for the brokers to be weak today.

yesterdays rally was fueled by a rumor that UBS would be bought out as well as an analyst upgrading UBS due to,get this! their write down was so large it must indicate the kitchen sink and the worste is behind it. we heard the worste was over how many times? also,did anyone notice that the...

"Although our recent actions appear to have helped stabilize the situation somewhat, financial markets remain under considerable stress. Pressures in short-term bank funding markets, which had abated somewhat beginning late last year, have increased once again... Notably, in the housing market...

they also call it the "fear index".

its not just the 7, its the damn 55 and the 63 that we also must contend with. anyone know if behind closed doors,the 7 is enough at assent?

CALM always gaps up pre-mkt on earnings and then falls as it did already.

i guess the best thing to do would be to have an outside business in another persons name. why even give the sec that kind of info? screw that. i think most people want the 7 because they can trade with lower than 25k,lets be honest.

"Frederick formed the Tuco in 2006 and has been affiliated with 13 broker-dealers since 1993, though he is not registered in any capacity, stated the complaint" perhaps if he was registered he could have continued?

can taking the series 7 actually cause problems in the future for someone? does the sec do random audits on series 7 holders? how about the IRS? what about deciding to incorporate a "side business" that has nothing to do with the market(ie. construction ect)? the reason i am asking is that i...

ANYONE can start a hedgefund with NO license as long as it is kept below 400k in value. i think this is true. any thoughts,please chime in.

i bet there is a way around this. pm me and we can talk. i will also throw some ideas your way.

yes, assent requires the 7,55, and 63. that is fact.

ratboy,they start you at 6-1 whike you are studying for the other exams. i'm sure you could get more but i think they said 6-1 assuming you are somewhat new to trading.

i talked to a person high up on the totem pole at a well known prop firm. they can have a trader go retail with 25k and get 4-1 or they will sponser a trader for the 7,55,and 63 and he starts off with 6-1 and then moves up. they have to bring in about 10 grand(that may be negotiable)...

who the hell is dennis neal?

very insightful post. my guess is after a few months and this NONSENSE blows over,you will see more llc's advertising again but also making sure all their ducks are in a row. remember,this is a two way street,if all the traders lose money,so do the owners.i see nothing wrong with a properly...

if you belong to an llc and get 20-1 leverage with 5k you can still enjoy the same benefits. only difference,you need to get licensed. another benefit of being licensed is bigger prop firms may employ you with no deposit.
