I must admit I was expecting a lower intrest rate for a defaut rate of 1.5%. But if this is true, I don't see why he should get a nobel peace prize. Sounds like a buisness man to me.

Anyone know any good books or internet sources for someone who knows what a future is, but wants to get into strategy and analysis. Thanks

wow another liberal conspiracy theory.

with the recent developments, specifically china who isn't technically floating the RMB but not trying it to the dolla, and the japaneese who have gotten out of their gigantic debt and seem to be on the road towards postive growth. Isn't it logical to assume that the dollar will be devalued? I...

wow having 200k by the time they are 30? they must be related to bill and melinda!

it seems like the consensus, if there is one, says that the trade deficit is only good until the world devalues the dollar enough to send us into some sort of stagflation. However, isn't the defecit, at least partally, due to the relative wealth of america versus the rest of the world...

the reason this thread is useless bonds is we came in expecting you to EXPOSE the prop trading world. Saying that you are owed money from 3 firms, which you cant even specifiy which, is hardly an exposition.

Anyone know anything about them? I know they are big, but I never hear about any specifics. What do they trade? Edit: this might be the wrong forum, lemme know if I should delete this.

even if he meant 4% real intrest, you are getting hosed. Another part that doesn't make sense from his asserition, is he doesn't mention how much the person makes. Don't you thinkthat should be factored in?? duh...

this guy is a major lib. I dont think he knows what he's talking about. To the socialist liberal poster: Give it 5 years and global warming will go the way of the dodo.

there's nothing wrong with my statement. It is possible to gain tax revenue from lowering taxes, go back to ECON 201. Are you saying that the democrats are the ones wanting to lower taxes? I'm not bashing democrats, I'm a democrat myself. But to say that they are on the right end of tax...

I think if they pause you're gonna see a 100-200 point gain in the following few days. I think the market is accounting for a rate hike.

you are selectivley choosing issues that COULD have a adverse effect on the market.

but wait, you are assuming that our tax revenues would go up from a raise in taxes. That isn't always the case, as the Laffer curve shows us. Last quarter our tax revenues increased with a lower tax rate. Amirite? The problem is, the democrats can't understand this principle. Can we ever...

1. Yes I am interseted in poker theory, and have studied that casually. I also know how to card count 2. yes I really enjoy games, often like a zombe. 3. Much towards the constant storm 4. I got owned by this game, I definetely did not beat it in under 8 minutes. Obviously, thekey is...

I really appreciate all the advice, and welcomes, this is really fantastic. I find it would be very tough for me to do this. I can honestly see myself going into the ibanking/trading industry, and not loving it. I think thats true for any industry I go into. I also know if I dont like...

I just wish some of the hedge funds/ IB's were more receptive about my major. Id rather get into trading young, so I can tell if this is something that I would want to do for the rest of my life. Its tough for me to justify going back to college to get a M.F.E when I've never offically worked...

ya I f'ed up when I said floor trader, my bad. Anways, that article on ubs was really interseting, and I do thank ya for the good advice. Very intersting stuff guys.

well I guess floor trading wasn't exactly what I meant. Even though i did say "floor trading" :P. What about something like the traders that you see in the big trading rooms at UBS and stuff? Are they all quants? I am looking for a compromise between quants and the floor trading I guess.

Thanks for all that! Very interesting stuff. About the financial engineering, I know its heavy on math, and I am worried if I were to go to one of these programs, I would become a quant. But I want to be more of a "floor" trader, it seems that would be a little more fun, am I wrong?
