What is your company/website.

Don't know what you mean. This was legit question. I have received a few PM's, but none even mentioned anything with those letters.

Does anyone know of any POrop firms in the Park Ave/200 Park area? Sounds specific, but I have my reasons. Thanks, who?

The Tier 1 PB's (UBS, BofA, Bear, Goldman, Deutsche, Barclays, etc) will all require large deposits to be your PB. At least the ones I know will want AT LEAST $5 million, but for the big names think $20 million or more. The White Labels that are Tier 2 (a) are MAN, FC Stone, FIMAT, Capital...

Reasonably functional grammar and spelling are prerequisites to launching a hedge fund. Well, OK. Maybe not. Just busting, T.

Oh, and Barclays Capital is a global powerhouse, but not in IB. They have some great traders on their desks, but aren't considered bulge bracket because they don't do major IB deals; therefore, they don't make the league tables. They are one to watch. Awesome company. That is, if you can get...

Bulge Bracket firms are the big ones I listed...i.e., the top firms. I don't know if I am missing anyone, but the unarguable bulge brackets are Merrill, Goldman, Morgan Stanley, Citi. Some would argue on the rest, but I still consider (maybe on an ever-so-slightly smaller scale) Bear Stearns...

If you are two years out of a top-tier college, why not B-School or MF? Or better yet, why not try to get in entry-level stuff at a bulge bracket firm. That's where the training is. That's where the hedge funds go to get the talent...IB firms where the training has already been taken care of...

If I remember correctly rollovers are priced in...that is, the cost basis on the pair is repriced accordingly. The other benefit is that Hotspot does pay interest on 100% of your balance. For instance, if you deposit $10,000, but you have $4,000 being used for margin deposits, you are still...

Hotdspot is the real deal. I will tell you that the demo is NOT an accurate picture of the platform. The real platform is much MUCH better. Prices are not accurate in the demo, and most order functionality is not turned on. When I went live things were much better and I had none of the...

Interesting. I would think that FX Connect would have SS covered. I am definitely curious as to what value SS sees. I love the CX platform and I guess enough people feel the same way. $564mm is a lot of money.

Do they allow you to hold positions overnight? Can you get good buying power if you hedge? How much?

uh oh.

Question that is somewhat on topic: Regarding incubator hedge funds: This sound like a great idea for me, since I have my own and a few friends/family accounts that I am trading. However, I understand you cannot accept compensation for these. Is there any way around that? That doesn't...
