Yea I was afraid of that. Thanks for the help though nazzdack. I just like to research as much as I can. I guess I'll just have to keep saving. I wouldn't want to start with like less that 50k, I feel like that's even stretching it a little. Anyway I digress, thanks for the leads.
Does anyone know of a trading firm in San Francisco or (close to it) that is hiring traders? I mean I have a masters in Finance and a lot of background in statistics but it seems every firm I see that's posting jobs is just trying to get you to put up your own cash and then charge you...
