    Obama CNBC Interview on Capital Gains Taxes/Economy

    I don't know. At some point fiscally conservative secular people will have to abandon ship from the Republican crowd. I know I did! Meanwhile they cut taxes, print money, lower interest rates, start multiple wars, intervene on personal issues, invade information privacy, deconstruct the...

    Obama CNBC Interview on Capital Gains Taxes/Economy

    The reason why republicans can't govern effectively is that they don't believe in government. Time for a new party, one that doesn't hinge on religious supernatural beliefs and scapegoating.

    friend said assent now requiring llc consent form

    sorry my example for John should have shown the SubLLC take as 700. I also think that you would need to charge a desk fee to everyone in order to not appear as a 100% payout.

    PDT Rule & Prop Firms

    I realize that this site is designed to bring in business to Bright, so I take a lot of the gloom and doom unlicensed prop trading talk with some skepticism. I can't see how it's a bad thing to have my $2000 account at risk of evaporating when I can make that much every two weeks with my sweet...

    What's the latest results from hybrid trading?

    Your view of scalpers is like my view of chart readers (self-validated prophecy). Different strokes for different folks, whatever works for you... That being said, scalping pennies is over for me with hybrid. I really miss it though, it was so engrained in my mind I had to stop for a while...

    Do you analyze your data?

    I know a lot of people are using charts to analyze when they will trade and how they will trade. But, do any of you analyze your own results? I do, and it helped in a few ways. I make all my money in the first 15min, then make ok money the next 15, then make my commission rate the next...

    HYBRID ....I can't see the difference...can you see the difference?

    I'm concerned, I make all my money on price improvements through SDOT limit orders. But I know there's always inefficiencies in the market due to human nature for me to capitalize on.

    Is Trading like Gambling?

    I guess by this definition, investing is also gambling. Your 401k is just a gamble. Driving to work is a gamble. Eating spinach is a gamble. If you ask 10 people what a gambler is, my opinion is that most of them would associate negative return expectations.
