this is the first one to read. as old as it is - the lessons still apply today. fun easy reading. you will probaly read this many times in your trading career. Congrats on the MBA. I am working towards mine too. It does not teach you anything about trading though. I think that is what...

he had good ideas and i did enjoy most of the book. But the guy thought he was god's gift to the statistical world. got so sick of hearing him drone on about himself.

are you kidding. it's a stupid name anyway. thocks thoutlook. keep it.

the "Worldco Diaries" would be a great book. some funny shit happened there. I hear the $$ will be returned. Just a matter of when. Keep your fingers crossed.

not a common book but there are copies of it floating around. it outlines all the rules they abide by - and the ones they break!

you say you are a global macro trader. who do you trade through and what kind of rates,deals, etc do firms like yours offer? i know tradestation is moving into commodities, futures, options, currencies. as other smart firms are. don bright - any plans?

most of the mooks in this board are loving the WLDC rumors. they closed their shop - they returned 67% of cap. plan on paying rest. i know the people who liked to bash worldco are upset things didn't turn out worse - so sorry. the rumors were all bull. i am glad I was at worldco who...

reformat your drive at least twice a year. the fastest and best your computer will run is after a fresh wiping of the harddrive. defragging and basic maintenance helps inbetween. just have a good backup plan for all your data.
