Did Obama make it illegal for companies miss earnings? Good thing all these companies keep hiring and increasing their productivity at an exponential pace. lol
i understand its outside the scope of the thread... but can anyone step up and associate the most recent provide/take rebates on these ecns? my percentage returns this year DO NOT represent what i'm getting posted to my account. I can only imagine what else i'm leaving on the table by not...
Does this also count for trading desks at goldman and JPM that are positive over 100mm each day...every single day of the quarter?
The next thing you know... they'll go after baseball players that hit 70 HR's per year and claim that they are cheating the game! ohhh right.. hey barry.

your screen name emanates negativity... What cant' you do???

I suggest grabbing on to a census worker job. I hear they are hiring 400k per month and the job pays better than wall st. lol.
TRADERED!!!
Not a dick... But sounds like a failing/struggling trader that has been skeptical about this business because everyone is making money but him. lol
This sounds like a great idea. Too many people in this business think they know everything...and they don't. I've learned a bunch of valuable...
for the nyse, you can go to NYSE.com and signup for trader alerts. They are usually pretty good with alerts, offerings, and symbol changes. Not sure about NASDAQ (but i'm sure when they take over the Nasdaq names, they'll add them to the mix)
