A couple years ago I saw a story on tv about NYSE. They showed this floor trader who was 90 years old. I bet he can run rings around the best of us on this board. He is a darn good dancer too, as he demonstrated when he danced on the NYSE floor with the woman interviewing him. Age has nothing...

You don't need a degree, you only need to know how to trade stocks.

I think that Carter is an honest and honerable man. He's better than those crooks in Washington who will say anything if they think it will be popular. Exclude those good guys that are friends of the island.

cool runnings.

You must have been slumming when you were in Jamaica. Stay away from the slums. Hang out in the middle/upper class places in St. Andrew, which is the upper half of Kingston extending into the beautifull hills.

Why would'nt you put your capital in Kingston. Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter said Jamaican democracy is one of the best that he had seen. I've lived in Kingston for most of my life and there has been far less financial and corporate scandals there than what happens in the U.S. I'll put...

Do you think that only U.S. firms can be ligit. Think again. These guys seem ok to me. I get 4-1 margin with them, and they tell me that I can get more than that when I meet the trading requirements...

A completely discressionary trader can succeed. Use a scanner and find strong looking stocks that are going up on the day, eg.- AU, SNDA and several others today. Jump in with at least 1k shares each and hold for a 1/2 point or untill P/L looks good.It's purely a bet that they will continue up...

$300k divided by 52weeks=$5769 week. One good up day in the market and doing 4 positions, each position 2000 shares, and each position yielding 1/2 point=$4000. With the right capital you...

Can a wall street trader making only 50k yr (1k week) keep his job. At that level, what kind of money is he making for the firm. I dont know any of them, but I'd guess that they make far in excess of 50k.

Then only trade after it dips and comes back up, if that's what you are experiencing. This works with stocks.

Been using QT about two years. They added Trade-Ideas after that. I'm satisfied with it.
