    Fingerprints not necessary for most traders.

    People that are looking for firms that do not require fingerprints are clearly 1 of 3 people. 1. Ex-con - cant get a real trading gig at a normal firm so he has to try to find a way around it. 2. A criminal that is running from the law for whatever reason (maybe he killed someone, maybe...

    What was the ***last*** thing you had to master before becoming profitable?

    I dont care if people think I'm credible. I think there are alot of people on this board with better advice than me, but i think there are a hell of a lot more with worse advice. And since probably 90% of them leave after the first year or so on this board, it usually means they lost all their...

    What was the ***last*** thing you had to master before becoming profitable?

    Think about that...using money you dont have to make trades. Thats how you blow out. And just because you dont hold overnight doesnt mean a stock wont go the wrong way severly in the middle of a session. And ask any trader who daytrades if he ever held a position overnight. Most will...

    Gov't Stimulus: Thanks to your $$$ this woman & others is buying $133k home for $42k

    These programs like that one have been going on for some time. I remember one where i live (in sacramento) where they were getting the city to chip in 1/3rd the value of the place. Then in West sac, they were offering people that were in a certain wage, 100,000 dollars toward the purchase of...

    What was the ***last*** thing you had to master before becoming profitable?

    Make sure whoever's advice you buy on this forum, look to see how long they have been here, so you at least get an idea of how long they have been trading so you know if they know what they are talking about. Like if some guy who just registered on elite trader 6 months ago is telling you how...

    Is facebook really worth 10 billion?

    Just because people dont click the links doesnt mean the advertising hasnt been imbedded in their head. I mean we see advertising on billboards & TV ads all the time and there are no "links" to click with those. Does that mean the advertisers should stop spending that money? Facebook is...

    GM 1 Strike Puts

    I think you all are crazy to mess with GM. You cant use any reason or logic with it. If you buy puts, its very likely that GM will declare BK and you make money. But you cant use logic like that. You got the "obama" factor. He could just come in and do something crazy like pay off the...

    lol, scottrade assumes you are going to lose money with options.

    They say most options expire worthless, but i just thought it funny that scottrade doesnt count the value of your options from the day you buy them.

    lol, scottrade assumes you are going to lose money with options.

    So if any of you are with scottrade, you notice there is a little graph that shows the balance of your account. Well yesterday this morning i noticed a significate drop in that graph, but i couldnt figure out why as my account balance had not gone down. Then i see that Scottrade does not...

    What do you think of this trade.

    LOL! Yeah i guess i should've been more clear with that. The decay factor of the 3x leveraged ETF's FAS/FAZ i was talking about...not the decay factor of puts/calls.

    How I am losing weight By EATING huge amount of food I like

    It's all about pain and pleasure. Whatever you focus on will be what you do, or dont do. If you focus on how good food tastes,your mind will make you want more of that pleasure of eatting that food and no amount of throwing up will stop you from eating. But if you focus on how bad you felt...

    NASAA Study: 1 in 26 Day Trading Accounts Tracked Successful: 70% Lose Everything

    Obviously the guy (who just registered this month) is one of those people in the study. That type of anger does not come from someone who consistently makes money. That type of anger comes from someone who consistently LOSES money. Because we all know how pissed off we all were back when we...

    What do you think of this trade.

    I bought some FAS Oct 7 puts. The decay factor should let me at least double my money if not triple, right?
