I think the sign in the center is spot on. Banks got bailed out while the people got sold out is pretty much what happened. Why should not the people be upset about this?

Your first post is biased. You pick at the flimsiest issues that the protesters bring up, ones that do cry of them being spoiled babies thinking they are entitled to something. And yes, the Iphone & Ipad are ironically prevalent among these kids, which I think is the biggest comedy of these...

Do you actually try to be narrow-minded or is it a genetic defect? The whole jobs situation is only one of the issues being brought up and it's not even the main one. I'm more interested in the fact that it is about time some protesting is done for the continuous bailouts for the banks and...

Why does everyone turn this whole fiasco into socialist scum? As disorganized as the message is from the Wall Street protesters, I do not think there was ever a concise message of socialism. And WTF is this nonsense about Obama support, it's actually Wall Street & big corporates who benefit...

You're kidding right? The current going mantra pushed by mass media is that the wealthiest top few % pay most of the overall taxes. Most people do not realize just how much tax sheltering goes on. It's a whole industry.

He trades at a "prop" firm, Lynx Capital partners (ugh!). Why would he need leverage, he already gets 20x or so. He is either tired of Shady Eddie or he is not making money anymore and wants a salary.

Not before they copied his strategies. It was actually very similar to the marketing of Volkswagen back in the day. Now Prius is tapping the same demographic.

The two had nothing in common. Henry Ford instituted the assembly line in car construction, hence being able to pump out cheap affordable cars at a rate to fulfill growing demand. It had nothing to do with marketing. He also busted his ass, yet was very honest about the fact that to become a...

For a message forum that one would expect to have greater than average intelligence, it's shocking to me that so many people simply believe the headlines and ad nauseam. There is no product that Apple has ever pushed out that was revolutionary by any standard. There was nothing revolutionary...

You sound like an Apple fanboy who completely misses the irony and absurdity of the situation. It's just a toy. Hey, I Love my Playstation 3 & PSPGo, but I am not going to proclaim how the founder of Sony's Games unit or their CEO are an angelic human being that Steve Jobs gets made out to be...

Created exactly what? A crazy marketing campaign that attracted 20-somethings of the far left? Ipods had more money spent on marketing than actual materials & design. During their launch, Rio flash players were actually a superior product.

Is this really a serious statement? Apple is one of largest corporations of consumer products, which are in reality toys & gimmicks we do not need. They are frivolous luxuries that most of their owners cannot even afford to buy but do so thanks to CREDIT. These are products are built in China...

Why is it a sad day? Apple is one of largest corporations of consumer products, toys & gimmicks we do not need. They are just toys. These products are built in China at sweatshop factories in piss poor conditions. Yet people cry that this guy got pancreatic cancer? Sounds like Karma to...

If you have experience in energy trading/scheduling, why in the world would you look at an insurance fixed income analyst position?

Actually, Samsung phones are pretty damn good and Android OS is significantly different from IPhone aside from some GUI visual aspects. IPhone is a toy, Droid phones are serious biz.

Frankly, there is nothing exciting or interesting about trading with no edges on discipline. money management & risk management alone. Real money is made by exploiting edges & opportunity.

I think you need to revisit the concept of a REAL EDGE. Money Management and risk control are not EDGES. Emotional control is not exactly a requirement either. Obviously you lack the real experience & observation, but try getting through your head. There were guys, who were able to make...

I've actually used Nucleo them to sell a bunch of junk silver that I bought locally. They send out this prepaid metal bucket which you then drop off at Fedex. It's a functional system, not the fastest but reasonable timing.

That's why newbies were hired with no cap down, like how I started. The edges were good enough where you had a good enough expectancy of gross positive traders from every new crop.

What are you talking about? The win rates on the old edges was often above 50% and some, like the arbitrage types, was closer to 80+%. It was never about going all in on a situation but about exploiting it as much as possible and as often as possible. There were guys who for the most part...
