I have found from observation that the stocks generally revert back to their pre announcement prices. A good takeover candidate that a deal collapses on usually holds value. If the deal broke because of issues with one or the other firm that will have an extrra impact on that firms shareprice...

I have no doubt that everyone on this list is a good trader. I happen to know that the woman who wrote the article solicited various firms to nominate people for the article. Then, the trader had to agree to be profiled. This is not a scientific survey or even close to being accurate as to...

ETG has an office in Norwalk.

COunter with, "When do I start?"

Certain firms will let you trade futures, but they won't teach you or guide you. ETG lets prop traders trade futures. Also, on the NYMERC, a guy named Fishman or something close to that has an operation upstairs that they train you to trade futures.

Babe714, You're from erie and a big indians fan? Why the Yankee handle?

They do trade equities. Their US website has a link.

I was at the Johnny Cash show and the Jerry Garcia show. Great place to see a concert if you are allowed to leave afterewards.

Cramer is a great trader whose ego is so big he wants to get on TV and let everyone know. His win-lose ratio on stocks is not trelevant to his P&L. He can lose a lot and still clean up if he is disciplined enough to take his losses quickly and ride his winners. i know he can ride his...

I'm with Ozzy. This is absurd. Good luck Buzz. Hope you get all the competition you are trying to drum up.

Nate, Was Tom Gould one of the clowns hired and fired? I knew him from another firm years ago. Heard he went to Mac. He was a gruff person who took things personally and seemed bitter about life. A lot of hostility here for this Mac firm. I have found that the firm is not really the...

When I was at ETG, Bob Kanter got a patent for some of his rules of trading. Some were rejected because they were already in the public domain. I never saw the actual patent, but I was told he tried to get one on all his rules but was only successful on about 2/3rds. Since he taught me to...

Bricks and mortor in a low margin business is a losing proposition. When a lease runs out most prop firms will not renew. I suspect that the closing of lots o offices has not affected his volume.

Why not attempt to sell the prop division? To just close it down is odd.

Thunderdog, Sorry it took me so long to get back to you before this thread got too far along, but...a man has to try to earn a living. I was as serious as a heart attack when I picked Atlas Shrugged and the Inner game of tennis. First, besides technique, a new trader needs motivation and...

Reminiscences Atlas Shrugged The Autobiography of Bernard Baruch (Volume 1. ALthough Volume 2 is good, it is not about trading.) Trader Vic The inner game of tennis

I used to frequent a bar on the Northside of Chicago called Kingston Mines. I saw so many great Blues guitarists there week after week. Buddy guy comes to mind as one of the great ones. BB King can also play a few licks.

Everytime this thread comesw up it confuses me. Why wouldn't I tell someone what I do? If I was a whore I'd tell them. Why not a trader? What is to hide? Who cares what the respnse is?

A train from the 30th Street Station to Penn Station is about an hour and a half each way. Hundreds of people make that commute daily. How bad do you want to join a prop firm?
