you guys actually watch CNBC for the commentary? i pretty much watch it for maria bartiromo because she always has a seductive look in her eye. and dont forget about silvia wadhwa from CNBC Europe. she will always be my honeybun! honestly though, they do have some interesting pieces like the...

the markets are not rational. there are X amount of theories for why a stock reacts to news or economic numbers but the bottom line is the market goes where it wants to go. but yes, i too was surprised that AIG flew up so much on "spitzer" related news.

may has been a tough month for most other traders on my desk. there are actually several guys who are red for the month. for me personally, this month was fairly average but it definitely was not as good as May 2004 as someone else pointed out. i remember May 2004 as being a goldmine so i was...

it depends on the responsbility you will be given and the reputation of the companies. most likely, you will not stay 3-5 years to become a trader because you will be tempted to leave somewhere better before then. thus, you want to make sure you will be getting the best experience possible...

that is why you hook up with women from other floors/groups. i definitely do not recommend hooking up with women that you work with but i see nothing wrong with hooking up with others in the same company. if citigroup has like 100,000 employees, what is wrong with hooking up with 1 person out of...

echo is a pretty solid firm although their commissions arent the best (but not the worst either) and their execution seems a bit slow and shakey (systems crashing or lagging) the past few months. other than that, they are fairly professional and dont seem shady at all. genesis has some crazy...

personally, i wouldnt long oil until it breaks a new high. oil stocks dont seem to have the same strength that they had 1 year ago. plus, it isnt like the US economy is getting any better and the Bush administration would not be too happy if oil shot up over $60 a barrel.

is it 50 roundtrip trades or 50 oneway trades (25 roundtrip trades)? 50 roundtrip trades seems a bit much in my opinion. the ticket charges are pretty cheap though so i guess it doesnt matter if you churn. 2,000 share lots seem a bit much for every trade too. personally i think 1,000 share lots...
