    Got my Series 62 two days ago, will be sitting for the Series 55 in about a month. I need them before I start trading.
     
  6. I have a BTA 1 here as well, way back when I first started :)
     
  7. Way back? :eek: :confused:
    waaahhooo, look who we have here? Aren't you just 18-19 only

    Huh, you must have been trading when sucking nipple back then
     
  8. What is your problem exactly?

    Lighten up ..... go outside and get some fresh air lol....

    Tense day today?

    But... let me formally appologize for being young... i have respect for all the older and more experienced traders, I hope to be able to perform well consistently. Didn't mean to offend you Nana Trader for being 19 years old.

  10. Interesting.... one of the most commonly asked questions on ET. "How do I attract OPM?" Yet a good part of the members here trade specifically because they don't need a certification to do it.

    Once a trader gets a little bit of experience, he wants to start making money off of other people. This is when the 'no certifications' part comes back to haunt him. People are much less inclined to trust their money to someone that has only traded his own money and has no professional experience. And (with the exception of prop firms) most firms are also going to require training/certifications.

    Anyway, I'll be the first to answer your question seriously. For what I do, the most important to me are;
    Bachelors in Finance
    MBA
    RIA
    CFP
