    Strange question for traders at home

    I moved from NY to TX in Feb, and so I just started trading remotely. I knew there would be difficulty adjusting, and I knew I had to be even more disciplined than I was in NY....It would be way too easy to roll out of bed and shuffle into the office in my shorts, but as someone said before...

    Goal Checklist for Struggling Trader

    Disqualified from a job because of a book I didn’t read

    You probably wouldn't want to work for a smug prick like that anyway... But, read "How would you move mt fuji" anway. It's all about that kind of question, and how to answer them. Based on msft's interview process, it's a quick & easy read, and you can never be too prepared for an interview.

    Young Singers Spread Racist Hate

    The only thing "this family is representative of" is what happens when young people are brought up in an environment of hate and intolerance. I'm sure that if they were black, Mr. Farrahkan would be very proud of their efforts. Your account of history is largely inaccurate, and the conclusions...

    Cramer on the cover of businessweek

    I think he's entertaining, and he's helping to bring in people who might not otherwise be investing on their own. As far as I'm concerned, the more the merrier.

    Hedge Funds

    I don't think i'm being overly sensitive. Personally, I don't have anything against any one particular group of people. I think to make such statements, which don't really have anything to offer, are the sign of a clouded mind. cheers, Josh the Limey-Kraut

    Which is better, an MBA or PhD?

    Skalper, after all your hollering, and ppl hollering at you, all you have to do is post a p/l screen that doesn't say "demo" on it. Guaranteed to shut the naysayers up.
