If you look at the front cover of the book by Tony Oz: How to Take Money from Wall Street, Published October 2001 he uses six LCD monitors for trading. Anyone here has broken this record ? :p :p :p

There was rumor that someone or some organizations have shorted the stocks of insurance companies before the 911 attack. Similar articles were posted on Yahoo Finance, Bloomberg, etc. I did not recall there was any follow-up. I think most people have forgotten that. :cool: :cool: :cool:

I suggest shorting 10,000 contracts of at the money OEX straddle. You can lose millions, if the market moves in either direction. Definitely more exciting than pair trading. :D :D :D

A little bit too harsh. But ....... To certain degree, that is true. :D :D :D

Will the S&P 500 index drop below the October low in 2003 ? My guess is: Not likely. Even if it touches the October low, it may rebound immediately. Most US companies are waving the white flags. They are doing what they have done ten years ago to get them out of trouble, namely cost...

IMHO: Way to optimistic about your prospective career in Wall Street. It is possible only if you have great connection and excel at playing politics. Three years of bear market has done a lot of damage. Merrill Lynch alone has get rid of about 20,000 people since June 2000.

I am interested in videography, video editing, and DVD production. There are different codecs, AVI file formats and DVD formats. It is a nightmare. I guess if there is only one standard, some companies may not be able to survive. They need to set up some barrier to prevent the users from...

Most of my Ph. D. schoolmates, who have worked at Wall Street, have become mutual fund managers or traders of hedge funds. None of them is market maker.

I have no idea about the US housing market: Housing foreclosures are at multi-decade high. A friend of mine is moving from Toronto to New York City. He told me that the average rental price at Manhattan was 30% off compared to that of three years ago. Yet, month after month, the US...

Free books, free trials, free seminars at the expos. Meet some friends from Singapore, Houston, Florida, etc. A lot of junk mails and E-mails after the expos. :p :p :p

IMHO: If the economists and CEO's can predict the future, there will be no recession in the world. Experts at at a conference on the U.S. housing market in LOS ANGELES think that the economic fundamentals is still 'OK'...

How about more slimy ??? :p :p :p

The most important thing is: You have to be able to get away with it. This is one of the reasons that most new hire in Wall Street need to be finger-printed, and have a background check. If you have been convicted, you are NOT qualified. :D :D :D
