<0> yes
<1> like "blah just released a new product" you shoudl invest
<1> etc
<0> but you pay for advice
<2> "hi, have you ever thougt about investing in your future?"
<1> like personal advisors type ****
<0> finacial advisors
<1> nah
<1> i haev a financial advisor
<1> he doesn't do **** like that
<0> get a better one
<2> the saying goes if your sales pitch at least 1/10 ppl should go for it :P
<1> he does strictly fund type ****
<0> that focuses on equities
<2> there's certified financial planner
<1> any recommendations cyun?
<2> which is more along the lines of what you're talking cyun
<1> where to begin looking
<2> but you hhave to get certs for all of those
<0> i see alot of "talk to chuck" commercials on bloomberg
<0> heh
<0> so try them
<2> your bank probably offers basic stock picks for free
<2> then you can pay to get more detailed

<0> he wants advice, not a cert lol
<2> whoops ;p
<2> well
<2> I trade thru my bank and tey review like 5 stocks per wk or something for free
<1> i alreayd ahve my cert
<1> csc
<2> although I like the reviews I feel that their trading interface is somewhat lacking features I've seen in other platforms
<1> i just recently p***ed it
<2> dont' forget to do your conduct and practices soon
<1> nah
<1> i'm not getting into it anymore
<2> it's stressfull work but I had an uncle who lived as a stock broker and he did a nice penny
<2> if you can hack it, it can be lots of fun
<0> maybe the definition of a stock broker varies across the border
<1> cyun i dont see anywhere on the bloomberg website that they can be paid for advice
<0> here a stock broker just sells what the company is pushing
<2> a stock broker is someone who transacts on behalf of an individual in buying and selling securities
<0> xchaos, i was talking about charles schwab
<0> "talk to chuck" commercials
<2> either under a bank name or under his own company name
<0> you had to see them
<0> Acid-Duck, ya
<0> they make money on commissions
<2> yup
<1> cyun you have a link b ud?
<0> and they push what to the client what their company wants
<2> but depending on your clients, there are different goals.. some have long, and some have short term goals.. and obviously in order to do aggressive trading for those with short term goals, there's no way escapaing day trading here.. and this is the stressful part
<2> yes the broker plays a deal in incluencing thhe outcome
<1> found it cyun
<0> .google charles schwab
<3> http://www.schwab.com/
<1> alreayd got it :P
<0> Acid-Duck, so its basiclly a sales job
<2> that's the way I've always looked at it
<2> I mean
<1> whot he hell is chuck anyhow lol
<2> if you convinced a more agressive buyer to go for a stock
<2> penny stock.. it did well and you'd like him to make some mnoney off it
<0> which you need to factor in when you want to decide if you are gonna be a broker
<2> talk to one of your less agressive buyer about that stock
<0> i think brokers have limits on the stocks they can push
<2> sell from one of your clients and it's another one of your cvlients that buy
<0> and pennies are not allowed
<2> pennies maybe you're right
<0> ya and thats illegal
<2> but they can push as much as tey want
<2> in fact
<2> the more you push, the bigger your comissions are..
<0> ya
<2> unless you're a really full service like merryl lymch
<0> My friends boss got 7 years in jail for churning accounts
<2> lynch.. I'm talking about someone who would open hihs own shop but still goes thru a big name as a validating co mpany
<2> company
<2> ouch
<0> I think a soul is required when dealing with money
<0> heh
<2> well there's always some kind of risk in most of the things you do in life.. it's learning to manage those risks properly that make you a smarter person :P
<2> that's all I can say
<2> hehe
<0> if you dont have any morals/ethics... you can be easily influenced
<0> or weak morals in any case
<2> that's true

<2> tired of loosing/scratching CDs
<0> I believe they're gonna merge.. xm and sirius
<0> I give it 2-3 years
<2> that would make them huge
<0> ya
<2> is there other competitors?
<0> nope
<2> honnestly I've never heard any other names in the game
<0> lots of talk though
<0> about apple going into it
<0> and such
<2> steve jobbs is one smart sdude
<2> look at ipods
<2> look at pixar
<0> I watched his first macworld presentation when he came back to apple in 98
<2> and even apple as in the mac computers.. there was an interesting article on slashdot a while back that michael dell had made a prediction he would take over apple's market share of computer buyers and to this day apple surp***ed apple
<0> he said "This company has potential. It has been focused very well on the wrong things. We need change and we will have them." He showed earnings for apple for the past 5 years ending in 98... all down hill
<0> ever since then its been up and up
<0> ya
<0> they spoke about that dell comment on bloomberg
<2> https://www.csi.ca/student/en_ca/career/index.xhtml
<0> dell is a gimp

<2> bonch writes "Nine years after Michael Dell said he'd shut down Apple and give the money to the shareholders, Apple has p***ed Dell in market value, at $72,132,428,843 compared to Dell's $71,970,702,760. Analysts expect Apple to continue to outperform competitors, citing 2006 as 'poised to be the year of both iPod growth and, more importantly, Mac market share gains,' with earnings growing more than 35%. I sho
<0> selling overpriced computors to people
<2> I buy dells :P
<5> I buy dells as well
<2> the price might be a bit more expensive then someone whod oesn't mind shopping around for OEM parts
<0> I think apple has done a risky thing with only allowing its os to be run on its hardware
<2> but if something happens (sheesh even spilled something on my keyboard) I got another one no questions asked on warrenty
<2> :P
<2> not that it's not expensive but it was still nice hehe
<0> maybe thats a strategic move since they cant afford to fund new drivers
<5> 299$ systems for employees, you can't beat that
<0> for all the intel hardware
<0> and want 100% compatibility
<2> nice
<0> but they have such a huge market share to take from windows
<0> no doubt there will be hacked versions of os x out in a month
<2> os x
<2> is that their linux desktop?
<0> but will the bsd drivers work for the hardware... thats the question
<2> linux-like
<0> no
<0> its based on bsd
<2> ok so that is the mac os
<2> ?
<0> ya
<2> bsd
<0> you read slashdot
<0> you should be in the know
<2> yeah know crap about macs though really
