I'm in.

LOL. :D I totally agree.

This is not true. There is a small minority group that is anti-American, but the majority of the people do not hate Americans. It's just that the anti-American groups have held a lot of demonstrations and public rallies in the past couple of years, mainly due to incidents caused by the US...

Did AMT get stopped out of his positions?

That was one of the best stories I've ever heard. Thanks for posting it. :cool:

I'd have to agree that telling a PhD in physics who is looking to get into the trading industry to go Bright, Andover, Hold, etc and negotiate a good deal is pretty funny! :D There are a lot of better ways for a person with those credentials to get into trading, like hedge funds and...

With a Phd in Physics, there are proabably a lot of trading positions available to you at firms that are heavily into quant stuff. This would include larger institutions and hedge funds, especially the DE Shaw type firms. There are a lot of choices available to you that are not available to...

Have you checked the ECHO thread? The deal there is even better than the one posted here. This is really not a "blow your mind" deal. You just need to learn how to shop around, talk to a bunch of firms/offices/managers, and not sit around and wait for some guy to PM you. You can get this...

One of the turtles. :eek: Lots of interesting projects you have going on. Nice.

Cool. Who are you guys? If you don't mind me asking.

Interesting. Did not know you guys were all together (working together). :)

The last I heard was that the connection was getting better. Definitely sounds like a great place to trade from. :)

Already talked to Joe. I was just wondering how inflector was trading with such a high ping to the US.

How's your internet connection in St. Thomas? I've heard that there are only two main providers and both are very slow to the US. What kind of connection do you use for trading?

I believe you can get a 90% reduction in your federal income taxes if you meet their qualifications for an EDC. So you're paying like around 3-4% in federal income tax.

Most futures shops give you the draw while learning. You initially get the draw whether you are profitable or not. So it's not like you have to be making money first in order to receive the draw.

Yeah I think most people will agree with that, but I think the main issue for people looking for tax relief is HOW MUCH they have to pay. Some people probably feel that they are paying too much. I think there should be a way for those people to leave and go to a place and live where they feel...

You are reading too many internet websites. The scenario you posted is tax evasion not tax avoidance. You cannot trade through an account of an offshore company that you ultimately have control over and not pay taxes on your profits. It's called a CFC, controlled foreign corporation/company...

That's nice. Too bad it will not work. Not paying taxes on your trading income in the above scenario is still tax evasion if your a US citizen or resident.

I interviewed recently with another options market making firm similar to Susq. They asked me some basic probability questions orally during the interview. The questions were definitely pretty basic. I never took a stat course and really don't have any background in the subject. I just did...
