If you have been a mortgage broker since 18 it is probably same to assume to did not get your college degree.  I would suggest enrolling at a local college and major in Finance.  You may be able to find a professor or two willing to take you under their wing and teach you a few things.  Nothing worth doing in life comes easy.  You have to build a base of knowlege before you can dive in and have success.  If making a ton of money in the stock market out of nothing were easy, we all would be doing it instead of working.  Truth is, if you can find a way to save a little of your paycheck a month and invest it and get a 10% return at your age you are doing pretty good.  But you need a paycheck first, which is why someone recommend you work at Edward Jones.  Working as a financial advisor is probably the best way for a young guy to learn the markets and maybe make a few bucks.

YOU ARE A F&CKING MORON!

I never like to talk smack but are you serious? The name of this forum is Registered Rep, meaning most guys in the business or aspiring to be in the business.  You’re on the wrong site my friend.  You’re not going to find a mentor here. 

Wow I am asking a simple question hoping people will be friendly enough to help me out.  No need to be calling me a f***ing idiot and a moron.  With all your negativity you all will fail in the stock market.  You sound like you all got picked on and beat up in high school and are now picking on someone whos not very familiar with stocks.

However I have been doing most of the right things and saving my paychecks and investing into the stock market with it.  I only got lucky with aig as i bought in back in March when it was around 3 dollars and selling half my shares at 45 dollars.  Other than that my portfolio is all over the place.

Thank you for at lease your advice LA Broker I wish for you to live a very prosperous life.

AIG had a 20:1 reverse split…you lost money!

[quote=iceco1d]Yup.  None of us will make it.  Good call. 

You are right, we don’t HAVE to tell you that you’re a moron.  But you ARE a moron, so I figured I’d just go ahead and point it out for you.  You know, so you don’t have to wonder whether you are or not.

Hey, look at the bright side…if the whole day trading thing doesn’t work out for you, you can always go back to being a mortgage broker (that’s actually probably only smart enough, and qualified for, asking “would you like fries with that?”)…you can always make it your goal to doing your part in collapsing the world’s financial system…again.  Thanks by the way.

Im not gonna stoop to your childish level.  If you understand anything in finance then you would know that the banks themselves + democrats + government owned Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac caused the crash of the mortgage market.  They are the ones that created the loan programs and paid brokers millions to sell them.  You have no one to blame but yourself.

Go ahead and be a pissed off person cause you lost your whole whopping 1000 dollars in life savings.

All I ask for is a mentor to help me out with the stock market and you all run in and bash me for no f***ing reason.

[quote=j.wehman]Hello,

My name is James and I am new to the community. I am 21
years old and I need to learn a lot about playing the stock market. I
am a very positive person. I became a mortgage broker at the age of 18
years old and I was unable to make big money due to this economical
melt down. But I do not give up.

I currently live in Fort
Lauderdale FL and I am dying to have a successful mentor to teach me
the ropes and help me out with the stock market. I will do anything it
takes to make tons of money. Please help me out. Message me and let me
know. My e-mail is [email protected]

Thank you.
[/quote]


Wow!  Thanks for the chuckle. 

James, will you do me a favor?  When you don’t find a successful mentor will you call me and let me know that you have fulfilled your promise of dying?

You guys are harsh to a guy that just happened on this board after doing a google search. Take it easy… ya’ll r acting like a-holes to this dude.

[quote=Spaceman Spiff]I’ll be his mentor. 

Or C, or BAC, or...well you get the point.  We used to joke about the stocks that research would pick for the E/G and PDP classes to focus on during the call sessions.  I don't know of any of them that ever turned into anything worth talking about.  Unless worth talking about means pink sheets. 

I can still hear the classroom monitor saying :"Nobody ever got hurt buying … "

[quote=LockEDJ] I can still hear the classroom monitor saying :"Nobody ever got hurt buying … "

We did C, BAC and pepsi… I think the 30 year corporate was C too if not it was CIT.



One guy who was getting orders was telling people that C would never go down… Or remember BAC has increased it’s dividend every year for the last 100, so you get a raise every year…

"Nobody got hurt..."

I hate to point this out, but guys like this are the reason the markets couldn’t possibly be efficient.

[quote=Moraen]I hate to point this out, but guys like this are the reason the markets couldn’t possibly be efficient.

There are HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of these guys out there every day. Using their e-trade and sharebuilder accounts trying to turn their 300.00 into 30,000.00. I think they make an impact.

Of course $300 x 300,000 would not make an impact on the market as a whole but they do make an impact on certain issues, I think.  I used $300 as an example - truth is people use their old 401k often times as play money, so alot more money is at play for the tools trying to find the next fad:  ford, fannie, freddie, cit, aig, XM – etc. etc.

Again, don’t think they impact the broader market but individual companies? I think they could and do.

There was a story published in a book called “The New Kings of Non-Fiction.”  It was about a 13 year old kid who would use stock message boards to blow up companies as “hot tips”  He would use his dad’s etrade account to buy these penny stocks, then go online and make all these losers believe that this company was the next big thing.  The stock would skyrocket artificially overnight and the kid made like 1.8mm in 3 months.  The SEC literally came knocking at his door.  This was back in the mid-ninties.  They arrested the kid and brought he and his folks in for questioning.  The problem was, at the time there were no  laws in place  that this kid was breaking.  It was brilliant.  The SEC brought a case against this kid, I don’t remember specifically what they brought him down on.  I do remember that the kid had to give like 1.3mm to the SEC as a penalty and was banned for life from the industry.  I’m pretty sure the D-Bag who started this thread IS this kid.  Difference being, that kid was brilliant, and the guy who started this thread is… a D-Bag.

so now im a dousche bag for simply asking for a mentor in the south florida area… im new to the area is that such a problem.  and all you people wanna bash somone who is trying to see who in the area would take them under their wing.  i do not understand what i did for all of you to start bashing on me.

someone please explain
thanks

There’s no crying in baseball …



But to answer the original question … on the whole, we consider ourselves professionals. Our time is worth money and you are wasting it. Go to the bulk food section of your local grocer, grab some cashews and see what the lady is offering for samples over by the meat section.

ok fine i spelled douche wrong… its not everyday i take a look into that word to learn how to spell it…  but you all consider yourselves professionals… only real professionals have read the book think and grow rich by napoleon hill, and he clearly states that “you must give something for nothing if you want to be successful”; andrew carnage states the same exact thing and if you are all such “professionals” you will know who those two are.

i never thought posting on a forum asking for help was wasting your time and money.  if that was the case why are you even trying to bash me?  wouldn’t you just ignore me then if that were the case?

also i did not grow up such a lucky person like the rest of you… i got into the mortgage market to make good money and to send myself to school, because my parents did not want to give me any money or sh*t to help me out in anyway for school. i do have my associates in business finance right now.  i’m back to school to finally finish up.

anyways im sick of playing with you big bad college degree corporate types.  good luck to all you “professionals”  and i wish great success to you all.

Show people respect, and you might gain that “something for nothing”.



You have reaped as you have sown, sir. And insofar as growing up lucky … don’t assume for a minute that we had our educations paid for, or that perchance our lives might have been worse than yours.



On the other hand, you want something for nothing. I’ve read Carnegie and Hill; I’m pretty sure neither one ever indicated you should expect something for nothing. Perhaps you can prove me wrong. Either way, I won’t lose a minutes sleep over someone as petulant as yourself.

Look man, no one wishes you ill will.  But no one on here is willing to
"mentor" a complete stranger about the business for free.  I’ll
tell you what . . . You give me some good prospects I can talk to,
maybe your parents or whoever where I can manage their assets (1
million, 300K, heck even 50K), then we can talk about mentoring.  And
something worthwhile too.  Not your buddy who wants to open a Roth at
50/month.  If you can do that, more people would be willing to help
out.

let me clarify on that “something for nothing” ex. giving a homeless guy on the street a set of cloths, one shower, and some food, and he gives you nothing… However down the road you will receive something even greater.

sorry for being ignorant to the fact that you guys get paid for giving advice. someone pmed me and let me know why you all got so insulted.  forgive me ill never come around again.

I’ll do it. You can start out doing what I did. Making cold calls & lots of them. Your first project is to make as many appointments for me as you can by talking to at least 40 people per day. I ruined the last two interns that said they wanted to learn the business.

andrew carnagie… sorry i left the i out i have a wireless keyboard and i type fast so there tends to be problems.  and this isnt an english class you tool and i am not trying to impress you, so ill go ahead and type however i want you grammar nazi.  is it safe to assume that you are actually a low life english teacher who thinks hes some big time stock broker?

you must hate your life if you have nothing better to do then to talk sh*t on a forum, on top of that you really must hate your life if you feel the need to act as an english teacher on a forum.

do not think that i have never had to go through what you guys have went through.  i made 1000’s of cold calls, ive spoken to 1000’s of people to obtain business, went to numerous seminars, walked door to door. ive pulled out a phone book and went down the whole entire list of names and numbers while cold calling… have you ever done that?

and when people have asked me for help, i sure as hell never punched them in the face and said “im a professional, you want my help then you must pay me.”  i helped them out the best i could.

you are one pissed off and cruel person i think you should get some help, or you’ll never find happiness in life. 

You’re still here?

ha ha … There are some self-righteous mother fckrs posting on this thread. “Time is money” get the hell out of here. There are 100 pages of crap dedicated to outing Windy. Professional my ass!



Bash the guy, whatever, but don’t act like he is wasting your time posting in the “rookie” forum so a bunch of vets can ride him for “wasting their time”. Ya’ll are classic!



Bro … You are not wasting my time. Post away asking for stupid advice!

He’s not wasting my time… he’s wasting his.



And if you want to associate with an idiot who thinks he is “good at trading stocks”, go for it volt. The guy is a moron. My first response was to tell him he was in the wrong place. He then proceeded to be stupid.

3. Andrew Carnegie hired goons to shoot people who wanted raises…good role model.

Army - not to bust your chops, but of course the views on the war change. The loud minorities (extreme liberals and conservatives) are what drive debate in this country.



I will say that in our little rural region of Iraq, we had the same problem as you are talking about in Afghanistan. We built girl-only schools, but people were still trying to target them. To be honest, I take a more isolationist attitude and think we shouldn’t be in either country. But that’s how you get bombed.



As for “Obama lied, they continue to die”. I’ll say the same thing I said when G.W.B. was in office. Less Americans have died in Iraq and Afghanistan combined than in the municipality down the street from me. One soldier dying is too many, but that is what we signed up to do. Make no mistake, it is a dangerous job. But that’s why we are the greatest military on the face of the earth, we train for it.



Personally I think G.W. is a good man and had a difficult job after 9/11. I also think that Obama is a good man, with a tough road ahead of him. I would never want to be POTUS. And I find it difficult to criticize anyone who attempts the job.

I think its funny that prison over-crowding is such an issue.  What does a new prison cost? $100mm, max?  We spend that in court costs to get peoples sentences reduced every day.  I say we bite the bullet, build 50 new prisons and call it a day.

aahhh, now Morean … I always counted on you to have a sense of humor.

I know. I just don’t think it’s funny. I would LOVE to ship convicts to Antarctica. Or at least politicians.



Here is my solution to government problems. All of Congress has to STAY in Antarctica until they can come up with a way to reduce the money we are spending and balance the budget. How quickly do you think we’d have that one done?
