"Most of the people here don't call themselves much of anything."
Why don't you speak for yourself? If you consider youself "nothing" thats too bad, but I'll I was doing was introducing a new show that you can learn alot from. I don't know whats up your a$$ unless its another poor trade, which might be why you don't consider yourself much of anything.

Actually I am a very kind person. I introduced a very engaging show...and attach a playful comment. “You guys call yourself traders.” It was a complete sarcastic joke, then some jacka$$ has to come in here and starts telling me in am arrogant, self proclaimed trader.

Are you really sure your language points to your social stature?
If you say so, ok......you might want to consider exactly who is talking from the gutter with an attitude.

Oh bdgee, you just won't stop will you? I have no desire to argue about nothing. If you don't watch the show you should never had posted a negitive comment on my thread. Just end it.

NYSE Trader...If you haven't already figured it out, sometimes bdgee can be argumentive...
Me and him got into some funny disputes in the past, too. I don't think he means to...He's just messing with you, and he wants to see how far you will go or what you will say...
Hey bdgee...me and you haven't had any arguments in a while, what's the deal Posts: 2321 | Registered: Aug 2006

Second, you do NOT own this or any other thread.
Third, you are unnecessarilly and inappropriately foul mouthed. Why?
I've grown to like you bdgee, You're a very unique person. That's why I feel like I'm able to be completly honest with you......your very firts post was a bit negative Posts: 2321 | Registered: Aug 2006

Because hes a NYSE Trader, Bdgee you wouldnt last a day in what USED to be the pits. Either you really are that sensitive, or you enjoy the rise.
Either way, I see you still attain an uncanny knack to wreck a persons harmless thread
Yeah, is that you calling a pot black, rami, lad?
"Because hes a NYSE Trader, Bdgee you wouldnt last a day in what USED to be the pits. Either you really are that sensitive, or you enjoy the rise."
I wonder, do you really have any notion of what you speak? Not likely. Probably you are just playing your normal game of trying to get away with insulting people because that is your only talent.
Do you really believe an actual "from the pits" NYSE trader would, first of all, spend his time and talent here; second, be so egotistical as to choose the "handle" of "NYSE Trader" (particularly when, to even a casual observer, most people here don't trade often in stock from the NYSE); and third, be so crude as to insinuate that people here aren't very bright or serious with the comment "Nobody here watches FAST MONEY, and you guys call yourself traders jeez?"?
I chose to defend the intellect and abilities of "those here", even if they aren't wrapped in admiration of or a need to follow the pumping of "Fast Money" (and "Mad Money" too). I suppose you have chosen to agree with the insinuation that those here are not so bright or not so infortmed or that they are otherwise lacking, since they aren't bound, by habit or otherwise, to the NYSE, to "Fast money" or any other particular source of stock pumping and reccomendations.
It is your right, after all.

If you say so.
But if it was negative, it was so only because it got that slant via association with the unnecessarilly nasty and askew implication of the post it responded to.
Actually, I thought of it as an intentionally positive statement in support of those who post here and their standing as stock traders. I take offense at anyone or any post that so much as attempts to belittle. "THAT" is inappropriate

I really get no pleasure out of arguing over something as ridiculously as an online post. I haven’t the time, nor would I waste valuable minutes of my life on bdgee egotistical view points if I did. bdgee your immaturity is not only apparent but blinding. That fact that you spend your days scouring the threads looking to “pick a fight” or start bullying someone is truly sad. Unfortunately my guess is your life is even more of a tragedy. Your most likely some 40 year old, immature, grumpy man. Who blames his sub par life on the world…hence your ****ty attitude. Man come on! Get a grip. I do truly feel sorry for you and can only pray I don’t turn into the kind of man you are. Cheer up life is good

Now that this thread has some more exposure…and to reiterate my original point before bdgee thought he could make himself feel like man by bullying me. Fast Money is a pretty cool show. Four of some of the best traders on the NYSE not only talk about the market and potential “picks” which they certainly don’t push onto the audience, but you can learn a lot about how professional traders think and operate. My goal is to one day trade on the NYSE and I find the show an incredible learning tool. Show is on nightly CNBC 9:00pm ET.

One day trade on the NYSE? I have news for you... the NYSE floor is practically EMPTY! Layoffs of brokers / specialists / runners all over the place. I have a buddy who is just waiting for his pink slip.. he says you can play floor hockey down there now.

Oh god I know that…should have been clearer, I don't mean on the floor. Goal is to trade the big boards for a hedge fund or a trading firm etc.

As they say on RB, "Your ignore of bdgee was successful."
So NYSE, what's your educational / professional background? As many know, I was a manager within a brokerage firm at the age of 25 so may be able to help you out.

Currently a senior in high school, will be majoring in Finance, hopefully at Bentley (MA). Then possibly onto MBA to try and get involved in a high level firm. Do you believe an MBA necessary?

Don't take this the wrong way, but if you want to work for Goldman, or Lehman, or any high power firm as a fund manager, you will need an MBA from Harvard, Penn, etc. Those jobs are no joke in terms of pay and commitment... you'll burn out by age of 35 but have enough money to retire.
On the other hand, if you want to get more on the broker/sales side of things, licenses are more important than degrees.

Do you think becoming a broker and learning the business without risking my personal funds, and then moving into a trading firm would be a good career path?

Well, it depends on what you want to do... long term.
First, you can start off at Etrade or Ameritrade as a Client Rep. and they will sponsor you to take your SEries 7 and Series 63.. if you are good enough, they may sponsor you to take the Series 24, which is your principle license. It's not great pay, but you get to learn about the markets.
Then, if you have the sales type of personality, you join firms like AXA or American Express and basically be a Investment Advisor... again, sh1t pay at first, but if you have the personality, you can make a lot eventually on commissions.
THEN, you can leave those types of retail market shops and go work for like Morgan Stanley. Same type of job (investment advisor) but you work with high net worth clients and make big bucks.
I was offered a job at Morgan after working for Ameritrade but I'm not the salesman type.
As for managing a hedge fund? Doubtful.. but you could always work for an operational department at Goldman... remember, the average bonus last year for employees was $110K!

No I really don't want to take the salesman route. LOL, as this thread may point out I'm not exactly a people person. I am a trader at heart. I'd be looking to become an assistant trader at a trading firm most likely. Then work my way up to a senior. My uncle is a big shot trader makes many millions of dollars so if he ever took me on at his trading firm I could sort of fast track my career. However I am not expecting any huge favors...he got where he did on his own and I intend to do the same.

What firm? If you have a connection, USE IT. Trust me.. hard work is for chumps. As longs you have the ability, any shortcut to the top is worth it.
