``Have you been to Miami lately?'' Florida Governor Charlie Crist said at a homebuilders' conference last week in Orlando. ``It's like we have a new state bird: the building crane.'' :D

By the way, the above offer was, for some reason, posted in the Austin section of Craigslist, viewable here: http://austin.craigslist.org/acc/365567420.html

I recently came across a Craigslist posting by Nexis which advertised a $40K base salary + bonus; this deal was aimed at August recruits. Any of you secure this deal? Or have you accepted the standard percentage of profits deal that they've been offering till now?

True, but who's working 100+ hour weeks and who's traveling the world playing cards?

Let's try this one again! Anyone have any info on Blaze Partners OR Lynx?

Anyone know if the training program is as good as advertised on Nexis' website? How would Nexis compare to Opus Atlanta in terms of training? http://nexiscap.com/

From what I understand, Opus Atlanta is a branch of Opus Trading Fund, and all training takes place in the Atlanta Branch under Ben Rote. From what I've read, Mr. Rote is a highly respected trader, so I assume that his mentoring is quite valuable.

I'm a bit discouraged (and surprised) by the responses so far. Past threads on Opus Trading were very favorable. Has something changed recently? I think they were paying a small salary to the trainees, though this is no longer the case. Other than that, I would guess the training program...

I'm currently undergoing what I assume to be the screening process at Opus Atlanta -- responding to question prompts via email. If there are any Opus Atlanta traders on this board that wouldn't mind sharing some information about their experiences with the firm, I would greatly appreciate it...

Anyone care to comment on the interview process at Chimera? For all its pitfalls, the opportunity to train with NO capital risk is a very strong selling point -- for me, anyway.

I'm looking at a long-term (4-5 year) graph of HOV, a homebuilder. There appears to be a head and shoulders pattern within a larger H & S pattern. Any ideas on this one? How would you classify this particular graph?

People playing at multiple tables usually play very tightly. A tight player with three games going simultaneously will still spend the majority of his/her time on the sidelines waiting for good cards. Once they're dealt a great hand, they'll play very aggressively in an attempt to maximize...

The only online poker rooms still accepting US players AND US deposits are Bodog, Full Tilt and PokerStars. There may be a couple more, but none as reputable as these.

If you haven't already, you may want to payoff those credit cards. I wish you continued success, but if anything goes wrong, $200K is a very steep debt.

Bodog has two methods for withdrawal: a check via USPS, or a money transfer, which is free up to once per week. The latter is faster, however, either option requires a bit of patience. It's worth mentioning that deposited funds, whether directly from your bank account or through a credit...

That is impressive. Generating that amount of commissions on a daily basis, it's a wonder you find time to pee, let alone post replies on EliteTrader.

Did you register specifically to promote IB? Are you testing out a new ad campaign? Your wording, grammar and punctuation are all very impressive. Was an editor involved?

Though I'm not ready to concede my claim to cleverness, I should have read your reply more carefully. I didn't realize that IB's primary source of income resulted from MM. I thought it was from clientele engaging in high volume transactions. Perhaps a good investment after all. BTW, the...

My mistake. Nothing ever goes wrong for accounts with 100K+. Never a computer glitch. Never an administrative error. In fact, people with large accounts never require any customer service at all. How could I have been so blind.

I may have to short IB when the company goes public. Reading through these forums, it's astounding how much negative coverage these guys receive from their clients. Surely, another company will spring up offering the same package as IB, PLUS CUSTOMER SERVICE.
