Day traders: Do you use brokers or DATS - direct assess trading systems? And the best ones?
Q. I am looking into day trading in great depth, and I want to find the best brokers or DATS to look into. Links will do just fine, but I also need to know how much time each takes to process trades (brokers vs. DATS in general), as well as anything else you think will be helpful. Thanks!

A. You still need a broker or a clearing firm. There are direct access brokers. The type of system, brokers and etc depends on what instrument you want to daytrade. Some specialize in stocks, others in futures...

How can NFL tickets be sold out before they've gone on sale to the general public?
Q. I phoned the Colts box office for the New Orleans game and they said tix haven't gone on sale yet, so I asked where and when I can get them. He said they're all sold out. All these web ticket agents are changing 8 or 9 times the box office price. How is this fair to the general public and fans that all these brokers have scooped them up? Is there a conspiracy?

A. I don't think there is one. I mean, think about it. If you wanted to spam brokers, isn't that the first place you'd go? On the other hand, if you contact www.iiaa.org, you can probably pay advertising to put an ad in the monthly magazine. But no one will help you spam them!! You COULD just go to your local yellow pages, call a buncha brokers, and ask them for an email address.

A. You must use a broker, even if it is only Etrade. In order to buy and sell stock on the exchanges, you must have what is called a "seat" which provides trading priviledges. Only brokers have seats.

Stock Broker Exam (General Securities Representative Exam)?
Q. Can I study for the "General Securities Representative Exam" on my own or do I need a college course in order to better understand the topics. If I can independently study which book would you advise me to read. Also how much time would I need to prepare myself for the exam. Please help
Asked by devil_hell007 - Sat Nov 1 11:28:56 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You need a much deeper understanding of the systems than the online courses and study books provide. If you have no existing knowledge of the topics, these courses will not be sufficient. If you already have a good working knowledge, and have taken classes at university such as Econ 101 and 102 or 200 and 300 level, you should be fine with the online and study books. What you may not realize is that a stock broker is a salesman pure and simple. On day one you will be told to go out and get some clients. Not how or where to find them, or how to get them to give you their money. You will work on commission, and will not get paid unless you get clients. Right now, with the markets tanking the clients are running for the hill. So good luck… [cont.]

Q. What MBA degree is best to get a job as a stock broker/trader? Or in General in the financial markets?
Asked by Dan G - Wed Jun 6 17:50:37 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I am a stockbroker with an MBA. I found that an MBA degree is not necessary to get a job as a stockbroker/trader, though it certainly helps. What is more important is prior experience (internships count) in the industry, and the passing of the requisite licensing exams. If you were to get an MBA, a concentration in finance would be helpful in not only giving you an understanding of financial markets and theory, but would get your foot in the door with future employers. Good luck!

Will the Dems have chosen their candidate by the time of the November general election?
Q. We all know that both Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama are going to go ALL the way to win the nomination. That includes a brokered convention in late August at the Denver Cow Palace. After that there are only two months left. This is not even enough time for them to fight out in court who won the nomination. Based upon how the Dem party has screwed up the primaries so far, both candidates have valid challenges to the other's nomination.

A. A brokered convention means the superdelegates (lawmakers, governors, former presidents, etc) will basically have full control over who becomes the Democrat candidate, regardless of who wins more states, "pledged" delegates or the popular vote. If a situation arises where say the pledged delegates favor Obama but the Superdelegates put Clinton over the top, there will be a major rift in the party that will send people fleeing to another party.

Does "Regulation Z" apply to real estate brokers?
Q. The general consensus seems to be that Regulation Z applies to real estate brokers (e.g. in Real Estate advertising they say if you put the monthly payment, you have to put the APR in order to comply with Regulation Z. See But when I read Regulation Z, It states: "In general, this regulation applies to each individual or business that offers or extends credit...". (See: ). Most real estate brokers don't offer or extend credit; they are not lenders/creditors. Why would the consensus be that "Regulation Z" applies to real estate brokers? I notice that Zillow.com shows monthly payments without showing the APR.

Q. Does anyone know the general qualifications required and is there anyone who is a working information broker?
Asked by ma - Fri Aug 31 20:27:10 2007 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Well information broker is a bit broad. What kind of information will you broker and how will you obtain it? If you broker industry information you are basically a consultant. If you conduct polls and surveys to broker public opinion information you are essentially going to become a pollster or researcher. Your qualifications will have to be your experience collecting good information in a certain industry, your reputation for having your information be useful will determine your marketability. Speak to a SCORE counselor, its a free service affiliated with the SBA that provides counseling on business start up. They can focus your inquiry and help you develop a plan. Good luck!

I need to do a Rapid Rescore for my credit. I am not refinancing so no mortgage broker. Who do I call?
Q. If I had a mortgage broker, I could have him/her do it since many of them are able to arrange contacts with the credit bureaus to update my credit file. But I am not refinancing and firms that do Rapid Rescore appear to only work with mortgage brokers. I am trying to find a way around this. I want to act quickly to take advantage of credit opportunities that have a time limit on them. I have to correct an error and the credit bureaus' standard procedures take too long. So, in short, I need to find a company that does Rapid Rescore for the general public. I need a phone number, a website, address, etc. Also I would like feedback on someone's successful story in having done it him/herself. Thank you.

A. Quite honestly, the rates vary widely from business to business. If you've already shopped around across a dozen places or so odds are you're seeing a very good representation of the average rates for your particular industry and location. If it's at all helpful, one of my friends owns a comic book shop and his liability insurance is very reasonable. However his brother owns one of those companies where they turn human bodies into mannequins (like you see in those shows that roam the country) and his rates are simply astronomical. I find that a little more than ironic since the only people on his property are frozen solid and stored in boxes but that's a very complicated field for underwriting, I guess.
