    equity traders making over 100k

    Typical ET thread lifecycle. First someone starts a pretty decent thread asking a fair question. Then a mindless pinhead tries to be a comic, posts a worthless comment. Then a investor often impersonating a trader who has recently found nirvana with ' Futures For Dummies" or "Options for...

    Dude, it gets worse ...he is on FOX. How appropriate... a network impersonating a news org, and a pinhead impersonating a hedge fund manager.

    important HEDGE FUND question

    The only problem with going offshore is hiring an Adminitrator such as Customs House. I think the annual fee runs in the mid 20k range. The accounting gets more expensive as well. If the capital is coming from offshore it does make more sense. You can live in the US and trade in the US...

    important HEDGE FUND question

    A hedge fund is a fee structure, that is it. Set up a LLC, as a 'natural person' it serves as the management firm, The LLC hires you the Portfolio manager. If and when you get sued, this will be the defendant, your personal assets will be shielded unless you co-mingle personal assets. The...

    I started at Drexel Burnham in Beverly Hills 1986, picture 4 rookie brokers at the corners of a large desk with one Quotron on a lazy susan in the middle, we'd take turns rotating it when we had a prospect on the line or a client calling for a quote and needed to sound like we knew what we were...

    Daytrading FIG

    My take on the Blackstone IPO was to short FIG Friday. Made money on the trade, although I would have done great had I gotten my initial fill near the open. Figured the scarcity value of FIG would be reduced by 50% ...the universe of pure play PE firms doubles and should suck dollars out of...

    Goldman's Global Alpha Hedge Fund Falls 3.4% Since Start of '07

    Its called 'hammer and anvil'...sure the fund is down, it buys the product churned out by the IBank which last I checked made tens of billions of dollars on the packaging/placement fees. Periodically the fund takes a loss leaning on a position, whilst the GS prop desk, and or key primebrokerage...
