reymondhak asked:


Hi,
My interest in stock and options trading has grown in the last year or so, my question is what kind of a job or career can I look in to if I enjoy following the stock market and trading stock/options? I do not have much experience in this field other than reading books and trading here and there…
I truly enjoy technical analysis and trading, where do I start if I want this to be my career?
—What companies can I work for to learn and earn an income? Most importantly learn!!!
—What position can I get being inexperienced?
basically where do I start?
Thank You

I need help with trading on ESPN Fantasy Football, because something weird is going on with the trading option

option trading
gotmilk2424 asked:


Ok, I want to make a trade with someone else. So, I click on the word “trade” next to the player and I wait. Then, this new screen pops up that says, “Select the players you want to receive from the team.” So, I scroll down and it lists about a million different players including Vinny Testeverde! And Brett Favre! And nobody has them! I am really confused and need help to get away from this screen because I have tried every possible way to trade but this screen keeps returning. Thanks for any answer, I really appreciate it.
