That's an interesting viewpoint, Jack, that companies will offer an individual a job just to be polite. Fortunately, courtesy is not one of my strong suits.

Brownsfan, Thanks for the reply. I think you're right. If I don't follow my heart on this one, I'll probably spend the rest of my career regretting it. Another positive, if the market maker gig doesn't work out as planned (i.e. doesn't offer the satisfaction I'm looking for), I may...

Fair enough.

Brownsfan, That's sort of the way I was looking at it, but I still don't know whether this market making role will lead to a serious trading role in the future. Again, I'm wondering if starting at a small I-Bank as a market maker will open or close doors in the future. Rosy, OTC...

Correction: Market maker in midcap, independent oil companies, primarily those focused on exploration and development.

Market maker in midcap, independent oil and gas companies. Financial Advisor serving high net worth clients (stocks, bonds, savings/retirement, etc.).

So, I'm graduating from university in a couple weeks (should have graduated in May, though I took the overly indulgent route) and I have the opportunity to join the trading desk at a small investment bank. I'd be assisting the head trader/market maker, and the role is intended to lead to a...

That makes two of us. Fortunately, that very concern is what will keep the Fed from easing rates. As for the big I-Banks facing potential disasters, as reported by the ever-trustworthy CNBC, I'd argue that it's well-deserved. Forget recession, we can all get rich shorting stocks. We'd...

Man, I hope so... I'm looking for Dow 500. Note: not down 500, but actually 500!!! :D

Just wondering... How much to BSC employees get paid to lose their clients' money? Do customers pay extra to allow their money to be held hostage? Now that's a good business strategy. :p

CFC, KBH, LEN, RYL Some homebuilders. Some lenders. Some serious $$$$$. All trading in or around the 30s, but should be teenagers soon enough. :cool:

Now that's a steep fall. Wish I held on for the entire ride! :D

It's early yet...

On the contrary, I think he needs a couple more. :D

Amen to that! Black Monday? I think so . . .

I used Kaplan for 7 and 63, and it worked well for me. I'm presently using STC for the 55. The materials were provided by the company so I assume it's the good stuff!

I'm sure he'll appreciate your advertisement. :D

Any market that is "emerging" is almost certainly highly dependent on the US economy (and American consumers). The rest generally don't have a market to speak of. (I do recognize the gross generalization contained in this post and I honestly don't care. Further, I am in no way concerned...

No, I'm pretty sure their only office is in NY, which is why their listing under Austin seems strange. Perhaps they're trying to tap into Kershner's market (?), but who knows. I question the sincerity of the offer; it could be a marketing ploy.
