I don't know about Conn but I'm pretty sure Assent has an office or two in Westchester County.

34yrs old. Just outside Albany, NY Retail broker from 1996-2000 Full-time trader from 2000-2005 Currently swing trader and loan officer at a mortgage bank. Life is good...spring weather finally showing up in upstate New York. :)

Well, the thing has had a hell of a run. What kills me is that my buddy is a natty trader in Atlanta and he got some IPO..he said he could get me a few but it was at short notice and I couldn't get him the funds in time. Doh!

Out CFNL and out AKS..they may have more to go but they hit my targets so I'm taking the $ off the table. Gonna submit IRA app to IB and get the ACAT started. Once that acct is ready I'll start a new journal for the IRA swing trades. Trade Well all.

I'll take a look at FMD, but it really doesn't fit my plan. Just like GTE didn't fit my plan. So what I'm going to do is stick to the plan..which is basically looking at stocks making multi-year highs or all-time highs with some consolidation near the highs. I'm switching my accounts over to...

I'm sure there were bigger and faster moves elsewhere but I'm never gonna complain about a nice gain. I'm not a professional trader. This is a swing trade in my IRA. Along with AKS which I have from 11.75 (now over 14) and GTE which I have from 3.40 (now at 2.50). GTE was a recommendation...

Go baby go! Oh I love it so...:)

I didn't partake in the extras...but a few of the guys did. I "don't have to pay for it" :)

LOL, mac! I had fun...really..I had a great time. :)

Pound, That sounds like good advice. The next trip will be along those lines. We didn't spend too much time in the suites...just for some sleep..and when the strippers came in. Which is why we really should have went for smaller/less expensive rooms. The cost of the two suites was just under...

I was there over the weekend. We arrived Friday morning and left Monday morning. Yeah the clubs are cool. We hit Ghost Bar Friday night. We hit Rain Saturday. We almost went to the club at Tao after we had dinner there but it was silly $. And as far as the strippers were concerned, the two...

OK guys...I just got back from a 4day 3 night stint in Vegas for a bachelor party. We had two playpen suites at the Palms. Did some gambling. Had dinner at Tao and 9 Steakhouse. Checked out the strip. Had different sets of strippers in the suite each night. Now I had a great time and all...

RYL, If you have the skill and discipline to be a money making poker player I'd bet you have a good probability of being a profitable trader. First thing to do (which you're probably already doing) is to ignore all the nay-sayers. They're just projecting their failure and insecurities...

This is terrible advice. The majority of financial advisors/brokers are clueless. I know this b/c I worked at MER and MWD and believe me, the only skill set they care about is sales ability. And the advice to put it all in one stock like GOOG , only an idiot would do that. Breaking...

Looks like volumes in the single stock futures has been increasing. Are there any arb opportunities there? Anyone trading these?

GTE showing some life today. Anyone see any news about this Russian contract? Not to excited about the continued delay.

Nice recovery (hammer) on CFNL today! :)

LOL.

It is nice to see A.S. be successful. Not that I've ever met him, but my impression is that he's a stand-up guy. Way to go Schindler Trading!

I've never taken any courses and I may be way off base here, but my first question would be about Van Tharp's son. I know he was a trader a few years ago and from what I heard he was not successful. Seems that if your Dad was a "trading coach" you'd be a decent trader.
