    Trading & Education

    I know plenty of people that went to Columbia or NYU and managed to get internships with Engineering degrees, History Degrees, Political Science etc. Of course by going to those schools you end up getting great connections which help. Just work the phone and keep pounding on doors, if you are...

    Commodities trader fraud busted.

    This one is pretty tough though and should serve as a reminder to be careful of who you give your money to. One of the investors had gone so far as to hire a Private Investigator who was unable to find anything, and that being the case along with the seemingly satisfied clients I don't think...

    Common Sense.... Boone Pickens

    So what you are saying is that if your good at what you do at some point you have "too much" money and should just stop. Or, if heaven for bid you really want to continue maybe you should just turn the money over to the government? Who the hell are you to decide whats too much? If he made it...

    Oh no markets stopped going lower?

    I'd agree with you that some sort of low has been put in at this point, however I don't think we are going to see the same leadership, esp the commodity type stocks as a big part of the reason we had the downside was fear of inflation due to high commodity prices. Im watching EZPW, MA, BIDU...

    My wife wants to play the stocks!!

    Who knows, it may not be a horrible thing. When I first started trading back in the mid nineties Toni watched me for several months and thought that shit she could lose money just as easily as I could and might as well give it a try. Over time she's become a good trader, could support herself...

    John Templeton RIP

    Well I'd either end up in jail or have to hire a hell of a good lawyer. Thats ok by me though because I wouldnt give up my US Citizanship for all the money in the world. He did though, so he did not owe the taxes.

    I like the idea of this thread and I hope it helps you out. Surely you are braver than many on ET if you keep it going. One thing to remember though, its something my grandfather used to always say to me on the farm. It would go something like this. Grandpa: "God damn it Brandon!" Brandon...

    "Floor Trader" trading system

    I hope I dont disapoint anyone here, but if something is available to indivual traders, wealth managers and fund managers etc probably have very little interest in it. I have two computerized systems that work ok, but I'd never sell them unless the performance metrix were bad (btw that doesnt...

    How to go from trading education to trading?

    I'll tell you this as someone who ran one for a long time, and was very good at it in my own very humble opinion. 90% of them are a waste of time, maybe more since I'm not doing it anymore :) If you want a free room you can check out look into #Mainstreet on othernet. Toni does a great job, and...
