Congrats to you both. That's awesome.
Thank you, gents.

I had a 2 weeks training working with Metatrader 4. I thought I'd get to be a trader but in the end they tried to 'convince' me to get in with my own money and start doing it. OR I could get a demo account with 10k, do one trade per day (with minimum 30 pips profit) and trade for a month. IF I end up with more positive than negative trades then I could get a job. IMO it was an impossible thing to do. I had many trades worth 220-270$ but those wouldn't count.
The forex market was mostly what I traded, it was completely nuts at times. I used to sit up late waiting for the European market open and the crosses would just be going crazy right at 3am. Made some, lost some, but overall I wouldn't want to try to make a living off of it unless I was a trader at a bank or something. All those pips are computerized now and the shiit just goes haywire and it's so easy to get stopped out.

    If you don't mind me asking, which company sponsored you for the Series 7 and 66?
    It was Edward Jones, I didn't take it, but I would have essentially lived in a hotel in New York for a few months while I studied.

    After completion, I could use their name and set up my own office, all paid by me, but could at least use their name.

    By the way, is RUS still banned?

    why can't I swallow pills? I can only drink liquid medication -_- how embarrassing
    I had a roommate once who couldn't swallow pills either. She would always crush them into smaller bits and put it in juice or something and drink it. As long as it isn't some time release shit it should be fine.

    Edward Jones is a good name, too. People say they are vastly superior to Merrill (which isn't surprising) and many other firms.

    But if anybody wants a mutual fund, definitely go with American Funds.

    I'm pissed off at Kanye West because the fuckhead caused me to lose my name on Facebook. I've been swag here for nearly 11 years, and I was Swag Valance on Facebook since the beginning. Then the shithead decides he's going to rename himself "Swag" for a while, and then a bunch of his wannabe fans glom on to the "swag" name, inundating Facebook sign-up requests.

    One day I log in to Facebook and discover that my name is considered illegal because of his ass and I have to choose a new one.

    Fuck Kanye.

    I changed my name on Facebook two years ago and have been barely back since.
    Should have told Zuckerburg to suck a dick.
