Floor traders and other professional traders will be most of the volume, the CBOE MMs thank the BOX for giving them an opportunity to pick people off, as opposed to being the ones being picked off. Just think, a guy standing on the floor that has had all the tricks played on him, and now he...

Mums the word. Vega:D BTW-- I mean, people are making more money since stocks started trading in pennies, right :p---wrong !!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's see if we can kill all the markets.

I left the CBOE over a year ago becuase business sucked, I was a MM in the SPX pit at the CBOE. Business will only pick up once the market really starts moving a lot, not just because the bid/ask is narrowed. If anything, in my opinion narrowing the spread hurts most in the business because...

Gary Katz, ISE's chief operating officer, said the exchange is entering the index options market slowly because of circumstance and choice. "While many investors have asked us to list the most actively traded index options, we cannot currently address those demands because we cannot procure...

I heard on the radio that there are already several people protesting this product. Funny thing is, I didn't hear any of those same people bitchin' when Nelly (I think it's Nelly, not that sure, I'm more of a rock'n'roll fan) came out with PIMP Juice :p Remember, it's OK for the playaz...

FWIW, I've met one of the original founders of Spike (he sold out a few years ago), and well let's just say I'm not a huge fan of his, a unique combination of a tool and a$$hole, but in his defense, he's made a shitload of money, something I respect very much !!! Vega:D

Dow down 1200, S&P 500 down 5:D, very convincing. You would think if they could change one number, if they wanted anyone to buy into it they would have at least changed a few more. Vega:D

Which pit are you in, and are you with a large or small firm ? A couple of firms that I would recommend are CTC (chicago trading company) and wolverine, great training, great people, and solid pay and opportunities. I used to work on the floor, left after 7 years last July. Can't help you...

I believe the song is named Have a Cigar, and one of the lines is "And by the way, which one's Pink." Vega:D

And by the way, which one's Pink ?:p Vega

PROP, know of any good prop firms hiring ???? Vega:D

That was kind of my interpretation of the meaning of Prop firms, but sometimes here prop and pro are used interchangedly. If that's the case then I will probably try to be there on Friday. Vega:D

Any idea which prop firms might be there ? Just wondering if these would be the "put up $10,000" type of prop firms, or more like the market-maker groups that might pay some type of salary. I looked at the website but couldn't find any lists of who's going to be there, but thought that maybe...

I suppose you would bet more than that with someone that you've never met, but only exchanged messages on an internet forum ???????:p I think it's probably a pretty safe bet that whoever loses will end up paying, but if you're willing to bet more than that with someone you've never met, I'm...

If the Cubs win, El Cubano sends Nitro some nice Cuban cigars, and if the Marlins win, Nitro sends El Cubano a Chicago-style, deep dish pizza, and some Maxwell street dogs ???????? You guys should consider doing something a little more creative !! Just my two cents. Vega:D GO CUBS...

At first when I read the title of this thread, I thought it was "MARINES are chickens" and thought that you had officially gone off the deep end. But after closer inspection of the title, I realized that you still have one foot on the plank:p Just kidding. Vega:D

Like I said, not trying to start a pissing contest here, and I suppose everyone (well almost everyone:p ) contributes something here. By the way, is N-V-S one of the 1000 aliases:p ????? Vega:D

I'm looking for them to tear about Hampon tonite. Sammy was off, no one really hit worth a crap (except Woody), and if you can beat a good team when you're not at your best, it bodes well for what you can do when you perform. Looking for another victory tonite, higher scoring game though, 8-4...

Here's a novel idea, instead of wasting all your time ripping on Nitro, put more time into your trading:p There have been and always will be people that don't get along--but drop it already, put him on ignore and go on with your life (unless disproving Nitro is your life). Just checking, you...

Me too pap, how many times can a Chi-town guy say Division Champs !!!!!!!!!!!! Vega:D
