I believe the comment they" tracked down the family of the man who HAD owned them" not they "tracked down the holders family" should give you a clue. This is nothing but a feel good story written by a " the man is always screwing us" member of the press. :eek:

Sorry you can't read dude, the owner is dead.........and his family probably had them reissued or cashed during probate. They tossed them because they are worthless. Thanks for adding your obvious expertise.

Of course this isn't 1955 anymore and the bonds were worthless to the person who found them. News to you pack of market experts savings bonds have not been issued in bearer form for almost 50 years now. It was however a nice gesture but not really worth more than the $100.

Prop trading is not a resume killer at all, especially if you are successful at it. I will admit, it wont be much help if it is your sole trading experience, and you are looking for corporate trading position. I would just tell them I enjoyed the experience but it isn't what I want to do now...

Maybe I am just a little confused by the original post. " I am looking to settle down NOW" what does that mean ? I think you are going about this backwards. First find the right girl and then look to settle down, otherwise you are just wasting your time and effort. Remember the last thing any...

Jesus, if some of you had probs with the 7, it goes a long way to answering why most traders fail to turn a profit. My question would be how in the hell did you ever graduate from college ?

Very interesting question. I believe the reason most traders fail is their mis- conceived notions of their own market knowledge and their lack of discipline. Let's face it trading is the only investment position that isn't actually a sales job, yes even portfolio management is now more about...

Well then I guess we could sit down for a few hands of poker at that. I will bring the cards since I am the one "playing with a full deck".

If you want to know why I only like every 50th person, go to the thread titled : Mugged. I would fire the poster and let the mugger trade.......

Let's see here, you post your opinions and thoughts for everyone to read on a message board, and then worry that some thug has access to your intellectual property on a zipfile. Man didn't you open yourself up to ridicule ? I hope those models are killer because I don't believe "having a...

Yeh I think Andover is now Assent, but that would be my recommendation. Assent.com should list the address and phone along with the Office Managers name.

Sure I like people, usually about every 50th person I meet is fine.:eek:

Without a doubt this is now the most clueless thread I have yet to read here. First off the guy is looking for cash and credit cards not some zipfile. Second even if he did access it just how are you damaged; what is he gonna do with it start trading. Even if he did that isn't there plenty of...

You don't have to know programming to be a trader unless you are working on a Quant Desk..............and even then most of the software is off the shelf now.

Did he really say that.......Jesus what kind of limited knowledge cop out is this crap.......ahow can you not recommend any longs....

As always it would depend on the school, but my intermediate macro class was entirely centered around a mathematical model that kept adding components until it involved several black boards and the the use of derivatives. Yes I actually needed that crap calc. class they made me take. It was...

If you have the type of friends who would hand a CPA $10 million to invest then by all means rock on.

Finance is a better road than accounting but Econ is really the best. Econ's fusion of science, math, and business will teaches a very rational way of reasoning problems. The tough thing is wait until you hit intermediate macro ( most schools weed-out class) you are gonna love it. Mine started...

I would also agree, but much more important than admitting your mistakes is fixing your mistakes. Another thing remember in a small firm the sales guy with big production trumps all others. Try to steer clear if possible or his mistakes will somehow become yours.

They will probably start you out as per trade order execution function where you will spend a lot of time perfecting your multitasking skills. If they have a dedicated NASDAQ Market Makeing desk it should be your ultimate goal. This sounds like a small firm so actually Fixed Income will...
