It depends. The best way is to send directly to the hiring manager (name known) via email. Response should be 24-48 hours or you didn't make top 5. The worst way is to send to an anonymous Job Board posting not knowing the company name. Noone may ever open it, instead it may be indexed...

Some perspective on the merits of increasing margin requirements: Lets rewind the clock back to an event like 9/11. What happens to all those "daytrading" accounts trading close to margin that were long ... lets pick the NQ ... long NQ intraday, when all of a sudden - TRADING HALTS. Halts...

Wow. I had no idea these guys were in NYC metro area. Amazing that they see a demand in an area hard hit from IBM shrinkage over the past 10 years.

IB introduced "unbundled" in Jan 2004. At that time, they charged a $0.10 "overnight carrying fee" for each contract held overnight. Every night. It appears those fees listed in the table you reference do not include this fee. If you day trade and close out each night it may not matter...

Median is 100k. But, what is surprising is that only a few here caught it? Deviltrader, congrats the catch, but the median and mean should only converge on a "Normal" or "Gaussian" population distribution. I doubt the "Price" of home sales falls into a normal distribution. For a normal...

1987? ... don't worry too much. If you bought the DJIA Jan 1, 1987 and held it through Dec 31, 1987, would you be up or down? Answer looks like: minimally up on price + a nice Dividend - you would have made money holding through the crash in 1987.

It seems in the USA, if you sell patent rights, the new owner can sue. If you sell a subsidiary, they can still sue. It seems that as long as it is not a personal claim ... it can be sold and assigned along with the property that was damaged. ... in this case, TP is majority shareholder of...

It appears that Thomas Peterffy purchased the loss so that he can personally prosecute those who caused it. He is going after them and that is much easier to do, when personally, rather than corporately - you don't have to file everything with SEC/Edgar. And of course, there are the "German...

Martha Stewart?

In a melt down, if ther are huge "loses", then there are equal and opposite huge "gains". LTCM melt down was a huge wind fall for those on the other side of the trade. "Fear" of a "market melt down" should be channeled into strategies to make money from it. Zero sum game.z

The key to your first job out of college is how much you "learn and grow" in the next 2/3 years. Make a plan - learn the other roles that interest you - be curious - be helpful. 3 years from now you want to be able to walk into a job interview and blow the principal at a competing Hedge Fund...

Passive Real Estate losses can only be offset against passive real estate gains. If you are reporting a passive real estate loss, and you have a good CPA, he is probably carrying that loss forward to the future, until, someday, when you have a real estate gain, you can then subtract if from...

You will only get the "keep" the depreciation, if, and only if, you property is generating a profit before the depreciation greater than the depreciation. Unless, you declare yourself a real estate professional - then you can deduct the loss against other income. Big big factor these days.

AAPL & RIMM agreed. Nowhere to go, but down ... but, when.

If one is willing to split a CC position, by closing out the underlying (due to trading slippage opportunity), then one should be willing to sell the underlying (or go "Short") if one was holding an exactly equivalent "short put" position. This should yield the exact same trading P/L as CC...
