Be nice! People should be able to share both ups & downs without being attacked & we don't know what happened...could be a situation beyond his control.
You are absolutely right, it is a situation beyond my control. My father is a part owner and sales person in a diamond jewelry shop on 5th ave and with the recent economic slump he cannot make enough to cover his multiple mortgages. I am helping him out with everything I can and I cannot afford to lock in too much money any where.
There are a lot of firms who accept 2500 but they are not registered broker dealers, which will put my deposit at risk. I am just trying to find a legitimate firm. I am even willing to do a 50/50 profit split if the fees are low enough. My problem is the fees. I made 12k last month of which 8k was fees.
