Yes get a lawyer that knows the industry and hopefully advises you to bypass any organization proposing these types of stupid non-competes. I would never agreee to such a clause and would immediately end negotiations with someone proposing this ..... If you get suckered by someone with one...

An interesting result ....

.... The only problem is that now you really will need the A380 to impress people: Who do you think will be the first purchaser of one ? I think the google boys have upped the ante now ... I predict that Ellison will be the first purchaser of his own A380 ... followed by Allen who will buy...

No, in many cases they really are not and especially in california. Go ahead and try it. To lock someone out of the industry for three years you would have to have a very compelling reason. There is an easy solution though: tell the idiots proposing such a deal to F themselves. I would...

Whoa indeed. Lets see, with 25K you can trade your own account on stocks - kick in another 25K and why would you need them ? A real job does not require that you put up capital. Are you in california ? This type of agreement probably would not fly in California - consult a lawyer. Make...

check with a cpa ... if its just you as an individual trading then I fail to see any advantage to working within the structure of a C corp. If you are concerned about earned income there are better structures for an individual.

Exactly. You are an employee of the firm and trade their capital not yours. Any other "definition" is bullflop: if you contribute your capital to either the trading accounts or training then you are an investor in a business - a partner perhaps in an LLP. If you are going to be a business...

... you are only competing against yourself. Any other viewpoint is very counterproductive ....

LOL. Seriously though, Vint Cerf is a guy that has more money than he can ever spend. He does not need the google job. However, he was never a guy to languish in a university at worker-bee wages. Cerf is not only a good researcher but he is a smart businessman. I think he probably got a very...

Well, ...it is a little surprising that such a simple model based on moving averages works this well ..... Actually, their model of a "super" moving average and their construction of a decent potential type model and their characterization of the diffusion term is quite nice. ...however, it...

"The State of Massachusetts is migrating to open-source software for all government documents. The move will come at the expense of Microsoft and other proprietary technology providers." Not that his is anything really new: Mass. has been evaluating and advocating the switch from proprietary...

It is inelastic but over which timescale ? Look back at previous price spikes: demand relaxed due to conservation. Unless the market adjusts in a reasonable timeframe you will see oil prices relax in the face of conservation effects on demand.

I wasn't refering to only gulf deposits. They dont pump 25 dollar cost fields at 26 dollars or even 25.01. If they can they wait, they do.

Most of what you say is also what I have found to be true in the oil business. You do still need to consider the cost of production though: it is expensive to bring many of these deposits out of the ground - some of these deposts while large, are really not hugely profitable until oil is above...

I've been through a few as well ... Condos ? Bubble, plain and simple. So. Ca. ? Not maintainable when few people can afford housing and thus companies wont locate workers in the area - same with northern california. The california economy will stagnate with companys not growing their...

I agree. I know several former Option MM people and other MM people that got out of that line either voluntarily or because their job went away. This was a good career path in the early 1980's - perhaps. Today it is not. Unless you have a direct stake in the firm and can directly profit from...

Well, you appeared to be quite vocal about how great XP is ... initially. Hopefully people have given you a few things to think about. If your goal is to reduce costs, and your application stack does not depend upon $soft, then you really need to consider Linux.

My little model includes a sentiment factor and what I term a specualtive adjustment factor .... these are on top of a basic demand model. All said, I dont see 100.00 oil and in fact, my model says that we are nearing a top. Of course, "its just a model" .....

Actually these have some utility - I have traded these a bit successfully although by no means am I any expert . I dont see any reason why these will be going away, especially if people continue to use them.

To the first point, I know a lot of traders that just keep making money and as long as they are there is no need to stop, goal or otherwise. They only stop when they stop making money or blow out their account. To the second point ... your ideas are old hat, rewashed stuff that math majors...
