Will I get more for my car trade-in in Maine before moving to Florida?
Im moving to Florida this fall and may want to trade in my sedan in the near future. Should I trade my car before moving? Im thinking that a car that has been through Maine winters may not have as much value when traded in at a southern car dealership. The car is 8 years old and has some minor visible rust on it but not much. Beyond that its in quite good shape.
Which online brokerage offers good price and web stability for E-mini futures trading?
In Futures trading, what is a ’stop order’, ‘limit order’?
Pls provide examples
What brokerages offer trading of index futures?
Futures rather than Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), but thank you for answering.
Index Futures.
If you could trade the past with someone else, would that be trading the future as well?
Can you get around this?
Should I get involved with a commodity broker who had a judgement against him from the NFA?
In the middle of changing careers. Working to earn my Series 3 certification to broker futures. I’m VERY excited to get into this new career. Found an opportunity with a brokerage that is expanding in my area.
Interviewed with the guy, seemed really straight forward. Wasn’t pressuring me, nothing I have to do on my end to get started…He preached ethics big time, explained some of the schemes some people will pull to bring in big commissions, he’s completely against those methods. He mentioned that he had a customer at a previous brokerage he worked at file a complaint against him. He siad it was a really bad experience, the guy said he told him something he never told him, etc.
Searching the net, found the case on the NFA’s website. He was found guilty, and his punishment was a ,000 fine, and 3 months suspension.
Should I even think twice about getting involved with this guy? How do I research this to make sure it is really going to be a good opportunity?
TIA
Thank you Dom. Yes I would be doing my own work. I would be working from home, the brokerage has a pretty decent IT network setup, so you can get into the network from home and do everything that way.
No I don’t see what happened affecting me in any way. When we met, he made Ethics a big priority with him, he made that point repeatedly. He was also pretty straight forward about the earnings potential…i.e. you’re not going to get rich overnight, you have to do lots and lots of homework to make it, expect to make about 60-70k average tops maybe 120k, he even went so far as to say you can make more than that but then you’re likely not doing things for the benefit of your customer and won’t be able to feel good with yourself when you go to bed at night.
He also said the brokerage he was involved with was shady, and from what he said before I found this, he did seem like he kinda just got caught up in something. I just don’t know if this is some unheard of thing, or fairly common?
What can the Yankees get in return if they trade A-Rod in the future ?
It looks like his HR’s and RBI’s will be going down in the future, and I think the Yankees will trade him in couple of years.
I think he will be hitting 25-30 HR’ from now on. And, probably 90-100 RBI’s and it will climb down , and he’s like a bad luck for the Yanks.
Any difference in futures contracts with same underlying traded on different exchanges?
eg. nikkei futures traded on OSE, CME and SGX? or soybean meal on CBOT and ECBT?
eg. swissfranc on CME,PBOT,NYBOT? or Nikkei225 on CME,OSE,SIMEX? are the prices all the same? if different, is there room for arbitrage?
