Acrary, I was under the impression that you meant Interactive Brokers.. I got your PM, and i do believe you worked in the industry (no need to call them!) Just have never been asked for the SAT scores.. I have been asked for GMATs though.

Why in the world would you care what SAT scores they got?!?! Considering that you are looking for MBA students. I just can't believe you have the inside info (or you have morons for recruiters). I have never heard of a company even caring what you did when you were 16 years old if you are an...

If you have math/stats degree from an ivy.. you are set for sure.

From my experience, if you really really want the hedge fund spot or heading a trading desk at a top 5 bank.. Goto a top 10 business school and have a huge math background, and anything else (including experience or CFA) doesn't really matter.

I can't disagree more. The first rule of trading is to make sure you have capital. Fine, I didn't get the interview at Goldman.. But i know that i can make X amt of money to resupply my trading account if i am on my own. Get your MBA.. Even if you can't get into a top program like myself.

I've actually said this on another thread but you can forget about working for a hedge fund or a real trading company without an ivy league MBA degree.. like Harvard or Columbia. Those are the cold hard facts. I recently got my MBA from a state school, and i can't even get an interview for a...

Mark, you sold me.. Transferring half my money out of IB. Will see which one is better. Thanks for stepping up and competing.

Wow, I take my statement back then. This really is a great deal.

Are you telling me your company will WAIVE the 600 monthly J-trader fee just for us?? (EliteTraders) Otherwise this is a SCAM.

missed it.. will there be a replay???

Actually, I wouldn't even THINK about giving my business to Tradersaccounting.com since they sponser questionable business ethics by EliteTrader. What would they say when i am in trouble with the IRS?? "Oops, these things happen"

For scoring the CNBC spot.. Just turned it on, looking forward to it.

I feel like i have to weigh in for this.. I was routing for the cubs big time. Not a chicago resident, but i simply loathe the Yankees and was hoping to see them beat them in the WS. But as much as i respect chicago and the Cubs.. it saddens me that team has to save its own ass by blaming a fan...

Ron, where did you specifically read that you can only use certain investment vehicles (i.e. specifically not futures) for an IRA? That would seem pretty odd to me there would be a restriction on where you can put your money. Maybe i am off here. Just wanted a professional's take.

traded w/ them for a short time.. also left for cheaper tickets. but def nice guys. wasn't there long enough to rate "honesty" though.

Does the ACE allow for hidden orders? I've noticed at various points in the day thousands of contracts traded a certain pricepoint, but the size only shows a couple of hundred contracts offered. :confused: :confused: :confused:

Nobody can deny that an ivy league university like Harvard or Columbia will open up more far more trading positions for you at distinguished firms. Thats not to disregard a state school, or community college. People who don't have drive will generally fail in any case. But def get into an ivy...

def its nothing personal against you or the founder. I retract my statement. Its just frustrating and i thank you for taking up the issue at least.

Discount brokers sometimes makes up for their cheap commish by hiring people with sub-standard logic. How they got Def is beyond me. He should have cut his losses long ago and go with Goldman.

Ahh, yeah thats quite possible. Thanks for the clarification.
