    Internships in NYC

    NOTE: I'm 17 years old, but please don't think that all 17 year olds are like this kid. If you want people to take you seriously, you have to come off as INTELLIGENT. Spelling mistakes are ok online, but people should be able to understand what you are saying. No one expects 100% error...

    Complacency and lack of motivation

    To anyone else out there who is feeling similarly, I found a great quote that puts things in perspective. "When you're behind don't give up and when you're ahead don't let up!"

    Complacency and lack of motivation

    To all the useless posters: thanks for nothing. To all the guys who gave meaningfull advice, thank you. From overall what everyone said, I think the best thing to do is to learn a new market (like forex or futures) and just keep equities on the side. Seriously, thanks. I care. I...

    Complacency and lack of motivation

    First off, let me preface this: I am seriously not trying to come off arrogant or cocky in any way. I feel like I've fallen into a state of complacency and indifference. Not too long ago, I was a voracious financial magazine/news/book reader and was always learning and reading about...

    Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Equities Journal II

    I must say your advice seems to be working, thanks again. I found that after reading the first 30 pages of Journal 1, I needed to take a dinner break and let things mull over in my head. Once I was halfway through dinner, everything seemed to click and I am starting to feel like I understand...

    Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Equities Journal II

    I'm already on page 30 of the journal I. I'm not doing #1,3, or 4. As I'm reading, I'm taking notes, saving stuff, and making a .doc of questions/clarifications. I thought I'd post them in this journal as I went along to aid in my understanding. Thanks for the help guys

    Systematic US Equities Investing

    you consider using stop losses to prevent huge losses on earnings reports and other news (as mentioned above) if a stock price falls for other reasons, but the fundamentals are still strong and the system still rates it, do you have it in you to stick by the stock? good luck

    About to go to college.... can't invest for 4 years?

    mschey, I'd like to know where you got the notion that I can completely afford college? You don't know how ridiculously cheap institutions are with giving aid and how hard it is to get aid. Middle-class families get screwed HARD on college aid... college is easy to pay for if you're rich or...

    hmmm...... if you read ANY financial advice book on college admissions, they all say to do everything you can to minimize your expected contributions so that you receive more aid. I wasn't asking anyone on here to judge me, I was asking for advice on whether or not it'd be worth it to still...

    About to go to college.... can't invest for 4 years?

    Well I'd have to have some employee and or owner.... colleges see that on FAFSA/CSS Profiles that you fill out for financial aid. Basically, if I have $7000 invested under my name, that's telling the college I can pay $3500 (50%) or under my parents name 10% $700. Any profits I make will be...
