all the online brokers suck. Most don't do penny stocks that are less than $5, and only let you short $25K worth.

Government seems to upping their stake, and it looks to be the 40%, so further shareholder price dilution.

And will continue to be in the red.

DKY what now? should we start packing weapons and rice?

 

[throwedindagame]

NT bankers or anyone who works in the financial industry right now, especially any of you who work for a firm on "the street".

Lets be optimistic for 5 minutes and assume a best case scenario where the banks don't become completely nationalized and we gain some economic stabilityand possibly start the upswing, are there any jobs you recommend someone coming out of college take in the finance industry by say 2011? Or should i just stickto engineering.

Is Investment Banking done...forever? 2007 bonus season was crazy. Goldman Sachs 1st yeat analyst/i bankers coming through with 90-100k like it was nothing. Isthat era over? Hedge funds? Anything? Where is the bonus money going to be? Predictions?

Thanks.
