Gertsman's idea of a bad day is a $60,000 profit. He trades 16.5 hours per day in stocks, bonds, futures, Dax, Eurex, and now, I believe currencies. He is trying to control the article for Millionaire Magazine so I am debating whether to blow it off since he doesn't want me to discuss any...

Larry Flynt is busy running for governor of California---and wow, I got 4 replies in 5 minutes after none in two weeks!!

As I have stated previously, prop traders' capital must be in a firm for a specific period of time to be treated as firm capital. That is indeed an SEC rule. Any intimation that this is a loophole to withhold members' money is sheer puffery (i.e. utter nonsense). Contrary to what anyone else...

Guess nobody cares.Well, I know Nitro does.

I got 2. Unbelieveable. I went to the WizeTrade seminar and they were selling their software for $3,000 per copy like hotcakes. No biggie. I'll be spending time in Costa Rica building a place for my millions (which will require armed guards who won't shoot their employer, takers?) The...

Yes I am part of the office. This offer is my own, though.

I would get out my umbrella, but it rains here on ET more often than in Vegas. What I mean is that in order to learn how I do business, you are going to have to actually DO the work, not rely on me to do it for you--only guide you. As to not making money for a year, I don't want to elevate...

I will sponsor one or two traders and train them. If interested, you must have a degree, and be very intelligent. A lifelong interest in the markets is preferable. Your only risk is the money spent moving to Vegas and the time wasted if you do not succeed. That's it. PM your...

I have proposed an article about Gertsman to Jim Bounce at Millionaire Magazine. He also publishes Billionaire Magazine. If you would like to see an article in the online or print edition of the magazine, send an email to Jim.Bounce@millionaire.com and tell him he should have Barry write...

I spent $5K on lawyers before joining Andover. The withholding of the money, according to my $450/ hr counsel, is because Assent cannot treat your money as part of the firm's capital unless they follow the quoted rules. It's not some type of scam...... Can you get it back early? Maybe...

Trust me when I say I know the Bright's combined P&L is huge. I personally know Bob had an average price of around $5 on PVN, with , I believe millions of shares. I also know he has/had 500k AOL. He told me he liked being long the stock when it was around $10, because if he wanted to slam...

I will add a thread when I get there. Fiinal Money spending comment: Blew $100 on the Neil Young concert at the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel last night. I had too many citrons /tonics (with a twist of lemon , not lime ). I was so out of it I walked the $22 check at Mr. Lucky's. Went back...

Due to popular request and the fact I have nothing funny left to say, I'm ending this thread, at least as far as my comments are concerned. I was up $2250 during the course of the journal, but since I admitted being up $5000 the first day, I guess you could say I lost money. In the future...

Correction: I'm in for 5,000 on the secondary in STX.

I'm in for 15,000 on this secondary tomorrow

Take another jigger and unsubscribe. OK, down 8,000 since last post and the money spending part is coming soon. I fail to see how this is different from any other thread (say, like Don B.'s) In any case, I'ts keeping me honest.

I've been a flight instructor for 24 years, and I absolutely believe in the value of simulator training, even with non-visual simulators. I would encourage you to get some stick time in a glider or airplane first, because it's much cheaper. Maybe, say 5 or 10 hours. Take your written exams...

I used to believe in them; but if you read the rules, the tack taken by the Exchange/ECN, etc., was perfectly within the rules. I know it seems indefensible to bust a trade after 30 minutes, but it often takes this long to go through the challenge/appeal process. This doesn't just apply...

Just put down a deposit on a new home in Vegas, and am about to buy a penthouse unit in Costa Rica, but it has to be built first!!

+2,200. HRP rallied for me. I'm long about 10k shares, and also long 20,900 CIC. I'm trading a little bit of the FDC/CE arb, but I think it has monumental antitrust risk, regardless of others' opinions on the matter. Still short a little MO since $37. Bought a little SRC, shorted a...
