assuming that you are a discretionary trader.. you don't need such a fast computer if you are a discretionary trader. even if you scalp. the fast comp is useless because the ping delay you experience with your isp prob will outweigh all the performance increases from the hardware

depends on the position and the strategy of the fund. you mentioned quantitative analyst, but that is too vague.

1% consistently over how long? that's the key question. if you take anybody and give them enough cash to trade, i'm sure they can manage 1% a day over maybe 5 days? its all about the distribution of the returns. the guy maybe lucky enough to earn 1% for 5 consecutive days before blowing up...

Stephen, Thanks for the great work and matlab files however, it looks like we need the LeSage econometrics toolbox for the files to run - i had errors for the cols, trimr functions, etc. however, i later found it at: http://www.spatial-econometrics.com/ do you use matlab to trade?

and again mfe - quant route mba - anything else

to illustrate, this shows that he truly knows jack. i asked him some questions, and he refuses with this. this reply is standard for those who are posers

sternlight - great post. i agree with you 100%. quality education is never wasteful. i'm also glad to see a truly qualified person posting for once :D all those posts by prt really highlights how naive, ignorant and childish he/she is. also, pretty unoriginal too. in any case, it is...

maybe you did have a ph.d in classical languages. hhaha funny. and also. you never had an mba, so wtf are you talking about?

you're incredibly naive. you have an undergrad from somewhere. you decidce to start your own company. you go to VCs. they say.. you only have an undergrad, wtf are you doing. contrast that to you have an undergrad. same amount of experience. you get stanford mba. you want to raise...

sorry to steer the thread of topic. jsut that i couldn't stand a fucking poser who is obviously ignorant of what he was talking about. and further, advising you against education...... that just pisses me off. mfe - if you want to become a quant. mba - for everything else

the program is one of the best. a mfe grad gets paid like a ph.d quant when graduating. good stuff. my college friend was in the program. he liked it a lot.

there is little opportunity cost to higher education. unless you are 40 and have a family. dude, what do you mean you have given up a good chunk of change by getting your bachelors? you have given up nothing. you have gained so much. do you really want to spend the rest of your life...

so far you haven't proven jack. it was nice talking to you, good night

i guess you are confused. first you call me dropout, then now i'm a student? lol

value s-corp = value c-corp/(1-tax rate) if no leverage.

spoken like a true sulking poser. good luck to you too :D

those questions are easy if you truly know them. i guess you don't

i was about to say i felt sad for you.. haah nice. you beat me to it. you answer one and i answer one.

are you sure you went to a ph.d at stanford? i mean, your words just sound like some 40 year old prop trader who was laid off his previous job because he did not have an mba (or dropped out of college) and his job was taken by somebody younger. wow, you just sound very naive about reality...

what ph.d? what did you teach?
