How is Bloomberg Professional service in terms of reporting realtime analyst upgrades/downgrades? Are they pretty fast? How difficult is it to weed through the tons of info coming across Bloomberg in order to discern the upgrades/downgrades from other news and act on them quickly? Does...

This is meant as an innocent question, because I've never been in a prop shop nor do I know anyone who has. But, if a trader was consistently successful, making $200K+/yr, and his account was large enough to finance his trading with the margin offered by regular retail brokers, is there any...

By far one of the dumbest questions I've ever heard.

I don't know why I did it, but I read through the entire Charlie Dow part of this thread. My conclusion is that Charlie sounds like a hack who feels like he needs to put a well educated newbie in his place and demands respect just because he's been trading for a few years (notice no mention of...

I have multiple systems that sometimes yield the same long/short call on the same stock. In those cases, should I go ahead and doubledown on that stock? On one hand, they are different strategies, so I should treat it as two distinct investments. On the other hand, I'm exposing myself more to...

Any chance you can copy the article into this thread? I'd be interested in what else the article has to say.

Wait a minute. The guy's gonna make $350k this year and he's considered one of the top 30 under 30? I thought such a "prestigious" list would require a minimum of a few million. It's probably similar to the PGA money list -- The top ten make 80% of the money and the rest fight for scraps! :D

With all the consolidation going on, I wonder if this could happen, considering that IB appears to be one of the more popular brokers for active traders. If so, could this be good or bad for existing clients? Should I be worried?

Is it possible to close a centrino-based notebook and still have it running (i.e., with Internet Explorer open and continuously connected to my wireless router)? I subscribe to a stock alert service that notifies me realtime, and I want to be able to carry my notebook in the closed position...
