Once again, people do not know what they are talking about. You can get more than 1:10 without the licensing at min 2 firms in NYC. The groups under those firms have capital up to get the BP, it worked the same way in the licensed groups. The days of Series 7 & Series 55 equaling anything special are over. Being NASD licensed is just extra hassles from regulation and wastes of time with the testing.
Used to keep an apartment in New York, know it well, and just returned from a visit. New York is a very expensive city and while there is much to enjoy there, most of it is expensive also. It is much romanticized. Most everybody is bustin' for a buck in a not particularly lovely town, and somewhat desperately grabbing an affordable pleasure now and then. If you can make money, I doubt that most in London will give a hoot what your tie looks like. Plus, there is a degree of charm there, even some civilization, of which New York is bereft. Rome? Ah... Rome.
ny. i love it. rents are high -- it's a landlord's market. food is really mediocre. easy to find a job at minimum wage. it takes 45 minutes to get anywhere. the women are psychopaths. it's the best of times, it's the worst of times.
How hard is Series 7 option questions and what % are option related questions? and what other catogary are harder?
Not very hard... as long as you can compute profit/loss/breakeven on stradles and stangles you should be fine. When I took it there were a lot of options questions. I hated the IRA/retirement plan stuff, but thats just because it was a lot to memorize. The options part is the hardest part math wise... the bonds math is simple stuff.
