The terrorists only respect one thing: superior force. They are beyond reasoning. The US should take lessons from the Israelis: take out the masterminds with extreme prejudice while trying to minimize collateral damage. If this means sending forces into other countries suspected of...

One of my cousin's good friends was among the wounded at the Bali blast (though not seriously, thank God)! Even scarier, I spent my honeymoon last December in Bali and visited the same club that was bombed. I remember how my tourist guide kept mentioning how safe Bali was because most of the...

Better the devil you know, then the devil you don't. Bright seems to be more financially stable than most firms, so from that standpoint they seem to be a good choice. Lightning quick, state of the art software is not really relevant to the type of trading (listed stocks) done at Bright. Only...

Good traders will prosper even with mediocre equipment, support and poor training. Bad traders will fail even with the best high-speed equipment and super training. Worry about your own trading and not about what percentages the other firms are bandying about. That is all marketing BS anyway.

You forgot to read my next line: "I'll admit that this is a gambler's mentality that afflicts many experienced traders and novices alike." This is a criticism of that way of thinking. I am in no way endorsing this behavior but unfortunately, that is the way many traders think. Fortunately...

The point of trading even when you're net negative is the slim hope that the market will turn around in the future. I'll admit that this is a gambler's mentality that afflicts many experienced traders and novices alike. I know many traders that are net negative for the past two years but are...

True. But you know what sucks even more? Working from 9:30-4 PM, wearing jeans and a T-shirt, getting mentally drained by the chaotic market, and taking home NEGATIVE income and being unable to pay your bills! Now THAT sucks big time! At least in the corporate world, you have POSITIVE cash...

I'd have to disagree. The world is in its present condition because man has chosen to live with TOO MANY gods competing for our attention. For example, we have God, Yahweh, Allah, Buddha, Vishnu, Money, Drugs, Sex and Porn, Rock 'n Roll, Sports, Internet, Stock Trading and Television to name a...

You must be trading liquid Nasdaq stocks. With a stop loss of 12 cents, you'll always get shaken out! My suggestion is to throw Nasdaq stocks out the window and trade the SPYs or QQQs for size. Or better yet, trade listed.

I enjoy smoking, too! My favorites are Colombian D-Lite, Amsterdam Buzz, San Fernando Valley Organic and Cheech n' Chongs!:p _________________________ A Hit a Day keeps the Bear Market Away

I'm in Jersey City, NJ. A stone's throw away from Manhattan.

I'm thinking about employment with an online bond trading portal. Not looking for prop trading but more like traditional sales and trading. Any tips?

Does anyone have information about on-line bond trading? What are the career prospects in that field or who are the main players? I know that TradeWeb is a software leader. Is Bond Trading a good career move for licensed, ex-equity traders and what is the realistic income potential? Any info...

Sorry, my trader friends dared me to take it because they didn't like some of your posts. I'll put it back, I promise...

Can you also provide help on not going belly up?

what the hell are you smoking?:confused:

At this rate, I think Aphie will surpass Don Bright's number of posts in about 6 weeks.

I would too! Unfortunately, these days it's more like giving up a $90K job to make -$25K!

Yeah, that was Aphie at last year's Halloween party in Greenwich Village, NY..:D

The Anti-Christ has a 666 mark on his head. Shave Faster's head and let's see! I'll take my money in small bills pleez...
