PTB:
>>Sure, Frederick. Assuming these are not flea-market pro's, you guys must have easy access to sell-side research. If so, why don't you post a few NXTL reports here?>>
What a clown. You ask me?? Someone who isn't even forthcoming enough to have an e-mail address...? Speaking of flea-market pros...come on PT, you're a proven joker. Poor Al might have taken your advice to buy Microsoft and look where that would have put him - 4-5 points in the hole.
We trade over 1.5 million shares a day as a firm in over 350 stocks. Some 2500-3000 trades. Research? Sure we have access, but the biggest asset we have are relationships with the street and the business that those relationships bring. If you worked on the street you would know very well that you don't go selling your soul on SI in this business by giving away research with your name attached and expect your name to hold water. It's a trust business, pure and simple. What I post is a distillation of research and a good amount of first hand knowledge from working sources in the "real" world.
PT, the offer still stands. If you're so good, "Show us the money" and we'll not only hire you, we'll put up real bucks to back you. But remember, in trading as in anything else in life, one's ego is your worst enemy. Some of the best traders I know are the most humble, yet extremely tough. The best like to compete, laugh and have fun as they learn from their mistakes. You seem to have an attitude problem - a superiority complex, whatever. Fine, play the market and build up a record so you can show it to someone who's got more money than you. Then if you are lucky, that person will TRUST you - now this is where it gets tough. That's that way the game works.
Again I say, this is a forum and the focus is Nextel, period.
For whatever reason - perhaps inadvertently selling those puts - you ended up here and you have yet to bring something to the table of any value. Look, I and others have wasted enough time. Good luck to you.
And Merry Christmas everyone!
