Sure. But at least it gives hope to laid off tech workers in the last downcycle. They can retool and apply to tomorrow's hot industries using their tech skills. Like in biotech, nanotech, defense, security, etc.

It's NOT the end of the world for tech jobs in the U.S.A. guys! New fields are developing like biotech, nanotech, security, defense etc. enjoy ============================================== New Tech Products Mean New Tech Jobs BY BRIAN DEAGON INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY Tech...

thanks for the article. much better. I think in terms of actual cash he probably "only" got $10-$20M of it. The rest is in stock options which will fluctuate with the value of GS stock, a kind of golden handcuff. But it would suck if GS stocks tanked and his options became useless even though he...

hi ETers, I was wondering do you guys think will there ever be another Richard Dennis, Ed Seykota, Bruce Kovner, and other Market Wizards who basically started on a shoestring and ran up to millions and millions?? Or has everything become so institutionalized now that you have to go the...

damn! that must be sweet! If he got $54M USD bonus and we know that ibanks don't have good "cut" like prop trading shops(i.e. nothing like 50-80% cut or whatever). Let's say he did get a cut of 15%(which is already very high for an ibank). That implied he made $360M ($54M/.15)or more for the...

I guess GS made him MD last year and probably partner now that he made a nice sum of mney for the firm. I suppose getting $30M bonus would qualify you as a partner... http://www.gs.com/our_firm/media_center/articles/press_release_2002_article_021025144109.html So, this guy traded TIPS and...

I get the following : "Warning: your order will not be placed at the exchange until 2004-01-18 19:15:00 US/Central" When I tried to place entry/exit orders for YM March'04 orders. Why is that? Are you guys getting that?

sle, so u trade or implement? Asian? Bermudan? Parisan? Passport? hehe. HJM has been around for years but still not easy... But CalTrader does have a point though. Not everyone can get a job like that. So, it does NOT help the average IT or average programmer that there are these high...

formika, i'm glad i got out of gold last week! whooho! btw, are you a pretty good trader? from your postings here on ET, it seems like you have a pretty good grasp of good trading principles, ta,etc. or maybe you are a good talker ? hehe. j/k :)

formika, i'm glad i got out of gold last week. whew!! scary ride down!

CalTrader, I respect your comments alot here on ET. However, I hate to admit that sle is right for this particular time. You wrote,"There are technology jobs for americans that represent levels of achievement beyond your experience but they are not open to foreigners....." Which places...

sle, I was merely making a 'smart' comment. I know Latin America got a long way to catch up to India, China, and Russia. But the way things are going with fast internet access and education, all countries can compete with eveyrone else. Isn't that the promise of globalization? I wouldn't...
