    Cramer at Harvard...

    I went to two public high schools. One was garbage although it was not the worst in the world. The other was composed of 95% plus upper middle class and just plain rich kids who were all college bound. My SAT's were higher than the average frosh at Harvard and CalTech, but would maybe help me...

    What kind of leverage can you get trading bonds?

    Great idea but you run a serious risk of the firm blowing up. Is this "deal" insured?

    I'm trading at 20x daily now. When and if I get consistently profitable, I will bump it up to slightly more leverage and try an hourly time frame. I'm going to screw around on an Oanda mock account with the scalping. It seems like on the scalping for the markets I've seen so far, you have to...

    medical/dential insurance

    Well in theory I am libertarian; however, my grandmother lived in Canada for years and swears that the healthcare was, in practice, equal with the US.

    medical/dential insurance

    Supply and demand. An aging populace with ever more complex and expensive healthcare options, an increasing lifespan, and an inflexible supply of doctors. Time to move to Canada.

    I've done a little with ssf's. I like them, but the liquidity is just not there. It's a great concept. It's a shame they never took off. Maybe they will, with the next true bull market. Do you ever scalp fx or do you know of any good books on the matter? Seems like a super tough...

    medical/dential insurance

    Check out Golden Rule Insurance. The rates are decent for a $5k deductible.

    First off, do you look at forest style charts. The forest charts were something I checked out for the first time a couple of hours ago. You are right about the Yen and, for that matter, several pairs look like possible doji trend reversals. At least they are risky entries for anything but...

    Thanks. Two accounts would definitely make sense also. perhaps close to equal values, so if one gets shut down for whatever reason you could hope to take the opposite position in your other to lessen the losses. It is a shame that there isn't a deep discount futures broker with retail outlets.

    Well I held onto that pos for a long time and got got out with 15 pips plus 1 on the $US. I'm about to go the gym. Do you have multiple ISP's to prevent getting trapped? It would seem to make sense if you had an account of $2k plus and trade more than 50x.

    PDA's and smart phones are not that important to me at this time. It really does not make sense to carry fx positions at work for multiple reasons. That became apparent last week. If one were to have a larger fx account, then one could possible justify carrying a couple of positions. I do...

    Series 6/7 question

    There are an awful lot of smart dumbasses out there. I studied two weeks and passed the series 7. I know other people that have done the same. Most companies give you months to study for the thing, and there are college grads from name schools that fail the test multiple times. The series 63...

    Yeah, I am looking into the Treo or a Blackberry or something like that. As I understand it, the windows program that run on pda's (major hangover- can't think of it) may or may not support order entry. I would only buy one if it could be assured that I could make order entries. Also, what...

    I'm not ready to play trend reversals and retracements yet. I think I might have a scalp method that might work. I have not tried it out yet. The way I look at it, this is more fun than Vegas, and my $300 stake has already lasted longer than it would have at the Craps table. The only thing...

    My position entries are definitely sub par on this fx thingy. Something can look great on a one hour or four hour chart and then fall back thirty pips because the ticks chart is overextended. That is definitely something to work on. Hopefully, I can use the strength associated with the...

    I just blew up my account today, I need a job!

    It seems the Series 3 would lead to greater income. You are dealing with people that know about losing money and there are not churning issues. Also, it can't be too much fun holding hands with retired Pharmacists and pitching bond funds. Good luck.
