Hello Just wondering if there are any brokers that offer demo accounts to trade any Energy futures products and if there were specific ones that people here would recommend looking into. Any insight in the right direction is greatly appreciated!!

I suppose you have never heard of volunteerism.

And in what country would that be the case?

Yes, this is the firm. PM on its way...

Yes, they did do the ffhl IPO. Attached below is a picture showing how much IPO activity they saw in 2007. While it is not even close to Citi or the other mega underwriters, wouldn't it be fair to say that they aren't quite "bottom of the barrel" ? (bear in mind, I have no idea and am...

The position is working for a Senior VP in the PWM division, however my main interest is in Sales and Trading. The way I look at it though is that getting a decent internship AT ALL in this climate is a good thing, so I am open to looking at this as a foot in the door opportunity. Right now...

Hi guys I have a phone interview with them for an internship position. Their website doesn't really go into much detail and Vault.com doesn't have anything on them. Any info on them or personal experiences with them would be very much appreciated!

Interestingly enough the statistics show otherwise (at least for MBAs). MBAs with 3.85+ GPAs statistically end up making less money over the course of their careers than MBAs with around 3.3-3.5 GPAs. Go figure.

Bump... What are people's thoughts on a 1st year MBA with 5 years trading experience getting a summer clerking position for resume building purposes? If anything having that position for the summer would be a great way to network.

Anyone with half a brain realizes that the odds of winning one of those contests is pretty low. However, how can you dump on the organization that is making something available that apparently a lot of people are perfectly willing to try? Seriously, anyone who thinks that they have a good...

WTF are you talking about? Nobody is forced to enter these contests. If one doesn't do their due diligence that is their problem.

Excellent Does anyone know if there is a way to pull this data into a Reuters chart on Xtra3000?

Hello Sorry for the dumb question, but if I am going to calculate the strip price for NatGas contracts from July 2009 - June 2010 do I simply pull up the current price of each contract, add them up, and divide by 12?

Its hard to believe you are on this forum and have made this statement, lol But sure, tons of funds have performed like absolute dog rockets. However, you can't diminish the level of difficulty and expertise that it takes to consistently outperform the indexes. This is not a game of...

No, I got your point the first time around. It's basically like the a classic pump and dump mixed with a fat bailout. No big surprise there. However, even small banks were acting this way. And last year over 25 banks failed and did NOT get bailout type funds. So how do you explain them...

Of course they ignored risk management. It flies in the face of the essence of finance to think that over leveraging doesn't somehow increase risk exposure. They exposed themselves wayyyyyyy too much and that is a blatant violation of the most basic risk management. Do you honestly think...

Not really, in my respectfully humble view. This demonstrates that it only takes a few people with enough power and greed to ruin it for everyone else. Been happening since the beginning of time. Think about it, the individuals who are most in the wrong had monetary incentives and golden...

If that is what you are asserting then you couldn't be more wrong. This crisis proved that, once again, fear and greed take over in the human thought process. The idiots at the tops of the banks completely ignored risk management and now we see exactly what happens when you do that...a major...

So wait, are you saying that one has to be trading a very large array of stocks to see the returns you mentioned? I am not sure I am following you here...

Forex daily turnover is now well over $3T. A $1,000,000.00 or $10,000,000.00 could easily be traded on the interbank market. So in that sense I don't see why you would have to limit the amount of trades you make per day assuming the leverage isn't in the stratosphere.
