    Any chances for a newbie,

    Hehehehe I've been in this country since 89. Have my green card. Applied for citizenship in sep 2001. LOL, I finnally went for my fingerprints this summer. At this rate, I will get my passport in about 5 years.

    Any chances for a newbie,

    Well, what I have to say first of all is that I truthfully regret going to college from 1997-2001 instead of trading and making an easy million or two in the bubble years, whether it being a trader, working in a chop shop or whatever. I really really regret it. My degree and my experience...

    The Squeeze Continues

    Hehe, kinda like the head tech analyst of Merrill Lynch (who makes 2 mil a year base), going on CNBC and telling everyone that the market is great and the economy is even better and to buy buy buy in March 2000.

    The Squeeze Continues

    Huh, Yeah I'm a little bitter cause busting your ass and losing out just because you did not have your father's friends to polish your resume is just a little unfair, don't you think? Regardless, there is just too much competition, not enough jobs and too many qualified candidates. It...

    Scalping...

    Yeah well I held 1000 shares of FSH 50 cents the wrong way, my fault. Then held 1000 the wrong way again another 15 cents. Then made a little back. Then went long 2000 and did not get out 10 cents up. Kept holding it the wrong way, finally went sell market 10 cents down and got out at 70...

    The Squeeze Continues

    Well of course they all come from an academic background. As if they are the only people in the world that come from the same background. Usually their school is what gives them the connections. Regardless, it's just academia and school smarts do not really mean much. It's not like these...

    the life cycle of hedge funds

    Great post. I just wanted to say that these hedge funds come and go left and right. I wouldn't touch any of them. Seems like every other finance professional thinks he/she can run a successful hedge fund. Apparently it's so easy that everyone is doing it. But few are actually making money.

    Why does it seem that good traders go to futures market?

    Good luck to you guys. Personally, I think there is way too much competition in futures now for me or anyone to just get started there. All the newbies are gonna get ripped apart. I could use some less hacks on NYSE listed so hope they all go to futures.

    Start doing 500-1000 shares. You might start making some serious money or you might find out that when you size up, the game changes just a bit. AZO is a good stock. He really moves.

    The Squeeze Continues

    Wait a minute, why is it ridiculous to say that most of these fund manager, money manager, pension manager and so on positions are not received through nepotism. This isnt's 1970s and 1980s where it was actually possible to work yourself from the mail room by having the right work eithic...

    Econ Forum: Isn't deflation a good thing?

    I agree. There is already jobs being shuffled out of here ASAP. Tech support and desktop publishing for financials has pretty much left this country. This is small scale comparing to the huge picture but it's just an example. To NYC, this is a few thousand of jobs, of which only a few...

    Scalping...

    Actually I have had a great 3 weeks and I have only had one big losing day. I'm just amazed at how you actually manage to defend some of these scumbags. Do you even read what I say, or do you just pick out what you want to prove your obviously erroneous point? It's really funny that you are...

    The Squeeze Continues

    I'm not passing judgement on the particular person, but those positions are mostly about nepotism. There are 1000s of other professionals who could do the same job the same or better. Nobody is gonna fire the head, unless he seriously messes up and posts serious losses, and even then you do...

    The Squeeze Continues

    Oh yeah well in that case why not start investing in every economy that has lay-offs left and right as well as growth based on debt. That should make you millions. Why didnt I think of that, it's such a win-win strategy. Seriously though, do you people really fall for this jobless...

    Scalping...

    Wow amazing I do not think you have much experience because otherwise you would understand what I am talking about. But apparently you do not. If you order is being held as everyone is scrambling and then one huge print goes off taking everyone or most ppl out, that is one thing. That is...
