Does anyone know how I could sign up to attend this seminar over the summer? Thanks.

Awhile ago someone posted a link to a video of one of Mark Fisher's seminars. I was wondering if anyone still has this link. Thanks in advance.

I don't plan on learning a single thing about trading from my economics classes. I do and will continue to do that on my own or from other sources. I also plan on taking some computer science classes.

Hey guys, I recently changed my major to economics (yes, I changed again for those that know me). I was wondering if any of the econ majors here would mind telling me what advantages economics has as far as trading goes, and what your job is exactly. Thanks. - Jimmy

I'm from Chicago.

Ok, disregarding the fact that I'm 19 and in college, how do tax rates differ among different income levels, and is there some income level where if you are below it you don't pay anything?

Hello, As some of you may already know I'm 19, in college, and trading. My question is, at what income level do I have to start paying taxes? Hypothetically, if I were to make 10k this year, would I have to pay any tax at all? I don't know the first thing about taxes, so if someone could...

Thanks Aaron, I really appreciate it.

Hey everyone, I've always traded grains strictly from a technical perspective. However, I want to start to implemenet fundamentals. Obviously, the most important fundamental is supply and demand. Weather is also an important factor. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with finding...

I really hope some things start happening with the Chicago exchanges to get BOT moving. Anyone hear anything as far as a CBOE IPO goes? How about the CME making a move to buy one of the exchanges?

OK, this is just starting to confuse me. BOT is trading around $95 right now...that's down about $9 for the day. Anyone have any explanations regarding the way this stock is acting? Where do you think it's heading? I'm hoping we will see it move back up to at least $110 by the end of the week.

I agree 100%. I used to get very upset by my losses, but now I can usually understand that it's just part of the game and I have to accept it. Just cut the losses short and remember that there is always tomorrow.

I think the greatest feeling in the world is when you wake up real early, realize you have nothing to do, then go back to bed. But jokes aside, I'm currently trying to make back some losses in one of my accounts. It seems as though it's harder to make back these losses than it would be to make...

Interesting. I also know a trader who majored in philosophy. He does extremely well. I think I could do well in philosophy because it's something that would keep my interest.

I believe that I'll be in wealth management. Ripley, could you talk a little more about why philosophy is a good choice?

The last time that they ranked the schools (I think I saw it in the WSJ) Kelley overall was top10. I've heard from multiple people that their finance is 7 and accounting like 12.

I was actually considering majoring in philosophy and minoring in finance. There is also already a good chance that I'll be working with Merrill Lynch over this summer.

This is the other username I'll be on from now on. Just letting everyone know.

I'm a Trevian...or I used to be.

Point taken. All the successful traders I've met are very nice guys with senses of humor. I agree with you that personality is an important factor.
