Right now, central banks are pumping massive amounts of stimulus, but that money isn't reaching the ordinary joe. The path of money is: Central Bank -> Banks -> (buying bonds) -> Bond Market A good trader makes money by taking money out of the bond market. He then spends that money on...

TLT is overpowered! Fed, please nerf Treasuries!!!

It just dawned on me that Trading is probably one of the few self-employment options out there where you are not bound to a specific geographic location; one can set up shop in any location with a working internet connection. As a longer term outlook in my life, I'd really like to consider...

Your best bet is to withdraw with an ATM.. at least with my credit union, you get the market (offer) rate plus a small (~$4-5) transaction cost with every ATM transaction. Still much better than the 3-10% transaction fees you get at the airport or even other banks. Just make sure you've...

I'm starting work at a Chinese trading firm in the near future and they want me to learn to read some Chinese so I can read some analyst reports in that language. I already can read a little basic Chinese but I'm looking for a guide or course specifically for learning the language as it's used...

In the beginning, I've tried programming in C++ to try to download historical stock data from Yahoo Finance to no avail (no CS major here.) Needless to say, I've not had much luck and decided to move on.. I've found some other mathematical and statistical packages that have support for Yahoo...

Just curious, any traders use a polyphasic sleep schedule, presumably to trade the international markets? Basically what u do is sleep 20 to 30 minutes 4 to 6 times a day instead of sleeping 6-8 hours at night as usual. It'll be very difficult the first week as you fight your body's urges...

Forgot the exact number but I think it was 60 something

They had me do the numerical test online.. Then I received a phone call that I did well on the numerical test.. And from then on, I haven't heard back.. not even a chance to do the next test(s) :(

No, they don't require a deposit.. it was a firm recommended to me by my university's career center.. I'll reveal the name once the interview process is over (accept/reject decision final)

I see that most trading firms don't mind if their workers show up in casual clothes.. A few days ago I had an interview with a firm that clearly stated on its website that all employees dress in their street clothes. I showed up to the interview in a full suit and tie.. After the...

Suppose u don't have the margin available to sell naked calls.. so u do the following: Have 2 brokerage accounts. In one account, short a stock In another account, buy the stock and sell a call on it (covered call.) Is there any regulation that explicitly forbids u from doing this?
