    Free carbonite style backup?

    hmmm... I dont think my upbringing has anything to do... there is such a concept of value... data is precious ... most of it cant be recreated... so I am not about to "cheap out" and save $100/year or even $50 and risk losing my data... but to each its own... I guess I am happy pissing away $$$...

    daughter asks for advice

    well, in that case you dont have to go to an IB at all... (and I am not being sarcastic btw...) there are plenty of trading divisions within any company that will use natural resources and its derivatives... Pepsi and Coke have one of the largest (IMO, and that I know off) aluminum trading...

    daughter asks for advice

    your argument has some merit, but it loses its value only in one regard.... if we are all risk adverse because we might not hit a home run like bill gates or steve jobs, then we would cease to advance... there are risks to everything, like you said... one can make smart or dumb decisions and...

    daughter asks for advice

    ahhhh... you should have started by saying that.... so no, you dont work for an investment bank... you work for a bank that has a brokerage division... your bank, more than likely, purchased an investment bank... so you are more than likely talking about BAC/JPM/C .... which have bought IB's...

    daughter asks for advice

    that is a joke, clearly... it shows in your lack of knowledge of compliance... because if in fact your firm acts the way you say they do, then clearly they are lacking regulatory compliance, and yes... best to use generic statements about it than to risk reputational impact (further more than...

    daughter asks for advice

    interesting, so lets see... US based, there are only 5 ... MS, GS, C, BAC, and JPM... and non US, there are 7.... UBS, CS, DB, BNP, HSBC, Barclays, and SG... so largest in the US? hmmm.... what measure did you used? AUM, capital ratios, returns? curious... your last statement("trade away")...

    How "Pros" size their trades

    everyone still leaned on the expectations/conditions that proved the trade was good... you exited at a % of the expectation based on whatever you saw it was good/great... everyone else that was greedy might have gotten slaugthered... there might have been also those that exited @ 80% and change...

    daughter asks for advice

    actually, no... if by companies we are talking about IB's (Investment Banks) there are not that many... and you are in fact restricted.. it is part of their legal compliance and within their code of conduct... if you get fired because of violating compliance or conduct, you will have a hard time...

    daughter asks for advice

    hmmm... I dont think the sex makes a single difference in trading... the assumptions you are making about her being a girl might be wrong... so why not go ahead and approach it the same way as if you had a son... also, stocks(cash equities) are the foundation for most of the derivatives out...

    daughter asks for advice

    if you are an employee of an IB, you can not trade your own account. There are so many restrictions and limitations that is not even funny. The same goes for a hedge fund. The only thing you can trade, are indexes and some ETF's, and the holding period is usually 30 days...you are not allowed to...

    daughter asks for advice

    kids, they grow up quick, dont they... you dont mention her age... so depending on what is "legal" or not... i would just setup an account with IB with $30K, setup parameters within the account to trade small lots (100 shares max) and let her at it... to be honest, all my trading I learned the...

    How "Pros" size their trades

    but what you are skipping, which is the rest of the story, the reason for him to put on additional size was his analysis was correct and his initial bet had proven it... once they knew they were in the money, they just leaned on it for all they could milk it for...
