Calling SIG reputable is like calling Tim Sykes a market guru! Try working for them, all is not as rosy as it seems.

PJ Clarke's for happy hour, an 8-ball, the Palm Too, and the Hustler Club. When you are done, go home and call an escort. Before Happy Hour, go over your journal for the day and find your mistake. Think of being on the other side of whatever trade it was and imagine how happy you'd be with...

Advice: DO NOT work for them. They are a bunch of cheap quant a%$$holes!! Will bleed you dry of all your ideas, apply it to their CAPM model and then kick you to the curb without any compensation. They are the CHEAPEST firm on the street and only look out for their own (those who began in...

that's creepy

Well said stock777. How can people secure loans for 120% of the value of their home??

I'll never forget when he said CAT was going to $120 once it broke $80. His sheep all bought it, held it above $80 for two days and the thing went back to $68. Could have gotten it at $63 when they missed their 3rd quarter earnings last year, which was about a month and a half before he...

So you think they did 50 million shares of BSC yesterday? Ha!Ha! I'm joking.
