Listen, If you want to get a job at a hedge fund, forget finance and major in Math and Computer Science. If you want to trade at a "prop firm", you do not even need a degree, just money to put down.

Not a perception, that is what will happen. But it will take a couple years to play out. Once the oil spill will be "cleaned up", the fishing industry will resume. But they, along with the population, will be in for some interesting surprises. One of the few calls I will make, but I will...

Just put him on ignore, he is a delusional troll. He is never going to bet, anyway, it's all talk, not from just him by the way. The closest someone has ever proceed to a bet resulted in waste of time and one party mysteriously disappearing when push came to shove. If both sides are serious...

I gotta second this. I don't get the praise that the interviewer and his school give this firm. It's not all that so stop acting like it is. This tidbit should be your basis for the interview strategy. I see a few posters saying "confidence" which means little without explanation. Become...

Works for the rich and corporations, why not the little guy also.

That's one big assumption you make, considering the progress of the elites so far. Maybe it's you who just is not smart enough to see what is going on.

You cannot be serious. Did you stick your head in the sand during the flash orders debacle? Exchanges offered a service where the HFTs would jump in right before a retail order and continuously front-run. Tin foil paranoia? How about plain ignorance and/or denial on your part? Your bias...

I don't think, I know. A debt collector with a legal team or firm would take you to court for $10k or even $8k over a charged off credit card for which they probably do not even have all the right documents.. Owing money to a broker is even easier to prove, that is assuming the offender would...

You should not doubt, because you will get sued for 20k and quite quickly as plenty of lawyers would take that case, let alone the broker's in house counsel.

Pretty sure that story is b.s.

You need to go back to grammar school and learn the basic of past, present and future tense in the English language.

So is Alex paying you to necro old threads and continue shilling for his courses? Sounds like you're the one to ignore.

Argentina was considered a first world country prior to its crisis. Maybe you were not aware of this, but this was established and there was significantly journalism during the 1990s about how Argentina has progressed to be on the level of Europe and USA. Additionally, USA's first world...

Fair enough. If you view it as a chore, it's worthwhile to have a professional shop do it for you. Otherwise, I do find it more economical and even faster to do it yourself. It took me 2.5 hours to put the box together and I actually could have done it in an hour if I had not made a mistake...

The government issues the treasuries and the Fed monetizes them. US Treasury debt is placed as an asset on the Fed's books and the Fed authorizes the printing of the currency, or more like, creation of it in the computer with a certain portion actually printed by the U/S treasury. The Fed can...

First, money is printed out of thin air because we do not even need to use paper anymore. It is electronically recorded. And the only thing backing it is a promise by the governments that they will pay it back. It's not that much different with soft money lending, which for some reason you...

There are inputs to produce carrots, inputs that cannot be printed and do have to be accounted for when you go to sell your carrots. Their costs experience demand when you go to buy them due to the printed currency and hence the price increases. You're trying to reach for a conclusion that...

Wrong. You find components on sale, get them shipped and build it. Your only costs are the components, shipping and your time. You are not paying someone else's labor cost, their overhead and profit margins. I've done so much comparison when I built my PC and what you say is simply wrong...

You're right. Bad idea for most people, like you. Most people are too dumb, too simple & too scared to do something like build their own computer. That's why you have a piece of crap Dell, the equivalent of which I can put together for almost half the price.

It's not a direct comparison, it's just an example of human nature and how it treats gold & silver. Argentina is a better comparison, as it was considered a 1st world nation prior to the currency collapse. What is so different about USA that the population will never use gold & silver as a...
