OBSERVER: Harvard tips Financial Times; Jan 27, 2003 At one high-powered economic session including Larry Summers, former US Treasury secretary, the subject switched to how panellists arranged their own financial affairs. A subject of far from casual interest for Summers: as...

It helped me to understand better why we are hated too: jealousy, inferiority complex, ideology, ignorance. Would you prefer the chinese the russians or the arabs to be the most powerful nation on earth instead of Americans? be careful what you wish for.

yes i have the 4-page booklet w.d. gann left with his will, where he explains what he was really doing but i'm not selling it to you.

this movie was posted already somehere else here, yes it's very funny, specially chris kattan's sucker face. "it's in our prospectus our advice can be self-interested and deceitful" ha ha that's indeed a "honest, straight answer". the exchange b/w jimmy fallon and the salesman was also...

the guy who said that crabel blew up and was living off selling his books on ebay was obviously joking .... crabel didn't blow up, he's alive and well, his funds did extremely well in 2002 particularly the leveraged offshore one, +28% of 180m. http://www.iasg.com/SnapshotPT.asp?ID=91...

must be barrier options trading, they are the most traded OTC exotics FX options, basically it's a gamble that the dollar will TOUCH a predetermined level, so those who sold barrier options for low strikes and have to keep a zero-delta portfolio must be shorting the dollar each time it falls...

HA Ha bravo cohon, show them peace-loving fairies who has cohones. wild: we like peace, we don't like to waste lives and money getting rid of cockroaches, but somebody has to do it, who else is going to enforce deterrence with aggresive dictators and terrorists? since nobody else has the...

Liquidity is an advantage, definitely. You can set your stops tighter so your risk:reward is better. Suppose that the NQ is due for a retracement, so you sell, then some idiot buys 1000 contracts and blows your stops but then the market tanks anyway. You have to use wider stops for less liquid...

yeah you're right arguing with silly people is silly.

What's with you people why do you react so emotionally? Actually, in investment banks salespeople generally make more money than research, so why do you people say i'm bitter when i describe reality as it is? and actually being a salesperson beats (by a far margin) being a college professor...

I'm not trying to make a point I'm only speaking from my experience and observations. Re your questions: 1. yes there are finance/econ phds salespeople in investment banks, all they do is call, push paper and entertain clients, there is nothing wrong about that, it's a job right?. 2. phd's...

If you go to an investment bank most economics/finance phd's are either in "research" or sales. Few of them actually trade. They generally have good sales skills thanks to their training, they can invent a reason to virtually anything while sounding convincing, keeping a straight face and...
