    Brokers are scum.

    If I were a high powered broker would I have stayed? Good question, I don't know. I would have tried to write good business. But would I have slipped into the abyss and become a scammer? I like to think I'm stronger than that. If I could have written clean business, I would have stayed in long...

    Brokers are scum.

    I was a broker with two different boiler rooms back in the early 90's. First was the Stuart James Company, from August of 1990 to October of 1990. My very first day on the job there was the day Iraq invaded Kuwait. Stuart James was a penny stock boiler room, selling penny stocks out of it's own...

    Barron's must be considering removing stock tables from print edition

    The survey was very specific, it even asked which parts of the stock tables I use more frequently than others. I answered that I never use earnings column, that I rarely used the dividend/yield column and that I always use the last price and change column. It even asked if I use the company name...

    I was supposed to get my netflix dvd yesterday, and it still hasn't arrived today. I've always gotten it on the date promised before. How long should I wait before I email them?

    the FILM lounge

    One more note - my netflix subscription says that I get one two hour movie per month. This movie was two hours and thirty five minutes and it let me watch the whole thing. Thanks to netflix for not being a time nazi.

    Watchable? WATCHABLE?!?!?!?! Wow, I just watched Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Five fricking stars PLUS! Great movie! Now, I gotta admit right here, even though Cusack was the main character, Kevin Spacey stole the show! Amazing performance! I usually put the spoilers in all of...

    Wall street brokerage firm charged

    I was wondering if that boiler room stuff was still going on, I guess it is. All of the boiler rooms that were around here in San Diego back in the early/mid 90s are gone. I just kind of figured it would be harder to scam people over the phone now than it used to be. I guess not.
