#2 is probably your best way to get robbed, especially if you are doing an equity play like GE. You can call your broker and have them walk you thru it. They are discount so ask them what is the best way. You will rarely see pros use market orders unless there is massive movement under way or...

Mav I understand what you are saying, seems pretty clear after 40 or 50 pages. This is one long thread. Wanna be trader can open a retail account with 25K and get 4-1 leverage. A private firm (Cassandra, Gelber, etc) can give you whatever leverage they want regardless of membership. Series 7...

The legal issues are one for the books. At some point their short term financing was pulled which (I assume) made their day to day business operations impossible, without this intervention. Point taken about BSC culture, I have no idea. As I remember Jimmy Cayne wanted to close out on LTCM way...

Man forget the loss on Sandisk. I can't believe Lance and crew lost the flag football game, oh the humanity!

Looks like a short term double top at 1343 esm08. I think that echoing other's comments that I the only really important thing that's changed in my trading is the ability to deal rationally with drawdown. That said buy1's methodology is not for everyone. Personally I hate drawdown and consider...

Damn even with a kid in his arms he looks smug and irritating, this guy is like a brillo pad.:D

If you sold yesterday you were screwed, which is worse you not knowing what to do, or you and your broker being clueless? http://www.thestreet.com/quote/BSC.html

This just shows that taken on face value that Cramer knows as little or less than the rest of us. It does seem silly that someone with a private acount at Bear would ask JC for advice.

This mess is far from over, any thoughts on rate cut scenarios, what s fed funds pricing in?
