I didn't read the WSJ article, but I heard about the position. Also heard that the trader who is responsible for the position is "missing". Did they fit him with cement shoes or did he just take off?

In regards to getting a mortgage and being a trader, I am a loan officer at a medium size bank in NY. Anyone can get a mortgage. You'd be surprised on who we approve. Just don't expect to get a 5.5% 30 yr fixed. You're going to need to do a ''stated income'' program or a "NINA" (no-income...

Agreed. I'll have to admit I do watch the show for it's entertainment value. I don't usually watch much TV..but now that the weather is getting shitty...I've been watching that show during dinner and I've also been watching UFC Ultimate Fighter. Great show. The good news is Killington , VT...

The jump is in Natural Gas...once Katrina set her sights on Louisiana Nat Gas was set to pop...all the gas companies are right there.... Good luck and happy trading. You can go to www.bullsector.com to find Nat GAs company stocks.

I'm out of the daytrading game but still in a couple hundred shares of MYG...felling nice but do I dump it here or wait to see if we get another offer?

$65 oil is still "cheap".

Yup, I can tell you the movie Boiler Room was spot on. 1st time I went to see it I was saying the actors lines before they were. Because the sales pitches were staight from the place I worked at. And we had guys in the same situation...$80,000 cars living in their parent's basement or in a...

Thanks Nitro...I really just want it to monitor position and make occasional adjustment if needed. Do you have a pocket PC recommendation?

I started a seperate thread on this with no responses, so I'll try here. TOS looks to be a great choice. Just wondering if anyone has tried their wireless platform, "ThinkAnywhere"? I'm going to try it out but really want to know what pocket PC to use. Thanks.

Anyone trading from a pocket PC using Think or Swim's "Think Anywhere"? If so, what pocket PC are you using? Any connection / security issues to worry about? Thanks.

Long from 15.25 This isn't a day trade. Stop is .50 below the low. I'm looking for the next (GT) (XRX) (SWK) (MO) etc.

I'm not sure what you mean.

My wife and I were in Home Depot last weekend shopping for a new stove. For some reason when a woman looks at something new she needs to buy another new item ''to match''. So we start looking at some fridges. The sales guy says, ''Hey, we won't be selling Maytag anymore so if you can wait a...

If that' true , great. But why an SLK? Why not a G-Wagon? Hmmm, maybe he knew gas prices were gonna go up. This man is pretty smart. So let's talk about his bad taste in ties. Bow ties? Well, ok at his age it may be appropriate. Anyone under the age of 40 caught wearing a bow tie (except...

In addition to the advice given so far I'll add a bit. I worked at Merrill and Morgan during 1996-2000. As an ''advisor''(they may not be able to use that word soon) you are really a salesperson. And to me it always made sense to go with the brand name to get the clients. While I was at...

Just basic e-mini futures or commodities? Now, of course I would never do this, but I suppose you could just get an 1-800 number off a broker/dealer website and call them. Yes, some will ask you for your account #, but many will not. I know a guy who would call the local wirehouse branch...

this is one of my favorite threads. I'm a NYSE guy..so here's one on the big board:

surf, I worked at a bucket shop...it would be even more difficult to violate the new issue short rule there because regulators are watching every move. But if you say you shorted it then I wish you good luck. I will call my brokers tomorrow to see if its available anywhere.

It's been 8 years since I took the series 7, but isn't a new issue not available for short selling until 30 days of trading? Security Exchange act of 1934.
