I stand corrected. However, what incentive do the banks have to pay you off after they've paid each other off? I guess the auction could really result in 100% of the theoretical value of the house but it seems like it would be "dumped" ASAP. And who would refi you if you don't have an...

Well, normally it's not a bad thing to hedge your bets like this. However, with a mortgage I think folks should either own it all outright or have a mortgage with just above 15% (or whatever the cutoff is for PMI insurance). I am not an expert but tell me if this makes sense: The reason is...

Wow, nice job!

Not sure about order handling with IB or TD Ameritrade. However, if you have an order directly to an exchange, which I think you can specify with those brokers, the orders are handled in the order they are received. Orders to sell at bid or buy at ask are matched with whoever is first in...

Well, someone could do worse than this mba track, for example: http://tepper.cmu.edu/mba/mba-programs-coursework/mba-tracks/investment-strategy/investment-strategy-track-curriculum/index.aspx

The thing is there is no employment questionnaire about family or what kind of work you're comfortable doing. They just know folks in their 20s are in a different place in life that's more of a fit.

One thing that might help is to realize that non-deposit "real" prop firms are either elite or they are out of business. So, you can become an equity research analyst or PM assistant or something but nobody is going to pay you to run money. I don't think there is any in-between area. You...

The paths to "real" prop trading like being a runner, assistant, etc aren't accessible to old farts like us (I'm 33) with graduate degrees. I'm telling you we are in a very similar position so I was working through what you are about a year ago. I've got an MBA (investment strategy track)...

32 is a bit long in the tooth to start trading for a non-deposit prop firm. They want a young whiz they can shape - or at least it's not like they are married with kids if they fire them when it doesn't work out. I'm in the same boat and that's my conclusion. Like with anyone else, finance...

Sharing your trading secrets isn't part of any masonic obligation I'm aware of. It's more about the basic moral stuff, like helping someone who is poor have the basics - not helping someone get rich.

Oh OH! finally a topic I can help a bit with. Freemasonry in continental europe can be fairly elite and invitation-only. In the US, not so much. Freemasonry is one of those things where if you are looking for job hookups or some other advantage you will be disappointed. Most lodges have...

For the love of God don't put much of that money at risk until you have demonstrated statistically significant success running it.

After you have the installed software you need installed, you bundle a new instance that is yours alone. You can save data without bundling an instance (which seems to take like 20-30 minutes or so(. To do this you create a volume and attach it to your instance. Also, you can lease a...

Don't think of your $2k as money you wouldn't miss if you lost it. It has to be oh so very precious. You gotta hold on tight. Cherish that $2k, my man. You've got to break a sweat to hold on to it. Don't be scared but be very rational and concerned.

Nice to see these gains Bob, all the while we've been making new highs.

I think places like this aren't necessarily scams. They shouldn't be expected to be a Charity, either.

As a Trader/Hedge Fund you are providing a price-discovery service.

I'm interested in what their training is about (generally), what software they use, what software fees or any other fees that may be assessed are. Can someone who gets a response from them let me know (PM is fine).

It was RT. On second thought I think it was 33ms to Chicago and 20 or so to NYC. In any case, there was some latency. RT from my FiOS connection was in the 90s from western pennsylvania. I haven't looked into google app engine.

I evaluated using it. I don't think it's a bad idea for a development platform but you might want to get a 1U and colocate if you get in any way serious. Even serious stuff you could probably do fine on a 'Large' instance. I have used it as a dev box to basically remote desktop into and run...
