The only con i've seen are people bitching about it being a waste of time. Give me a break, it's one month of studying, how many years did you go to school for?

Very Good post. I look at it in a very similar manner, if you're not serious enough about trading to go through the motions of studying and passing a formal exam that may be the first step to your trading career (whether it has anything to actually do with trading), you're probably not gonna be...

Just closed out my BscMs position, done with this pos....took some real heat the last few days, ugh.

Ugh i had a short position in Bsc vs Ms long up until late last week....went long the spread yesterday first time in months, great timing!

Really? I was told by a close source that the Ottawa branch was all but closed down...just one of the managers left, maybe he's training a lot of traders. Swift doesn't allow overnights for countless reasons, but yeah if you're looking at swing trading style of trading you might be better...

I can't remember the last time i held less than 500K in overnight :p

I still like the idea of Brett and the private equity firm he's associated with (still unsure exactly what his position is), this is wall street after all. Perhaps it would be better if we saw Brett and his colleagues analyzing their investments, going over actual dollars risked and rewarded...

This is definitely a trader's market...pairs has been awesome for myself and many others.

I wonder how many ETers are holding the bag, trying to catch the falling knife. Jim Rogers is looking prophetic when he predicted it would go down to the teens.

Do a search on swift trade using the top right button. Everything's been said about swift trade, it's a dead horse that's been beaten, tenderized, grilled and consumed.

Looking at the earnings of the 4 major US rails there's been a continual uptrend in EPS over the last few years. The sector as a whole is still quite cheap compared to many others out there...you want something over-valued that will be affected from a 'tanking' economy, look no further than the...

Who's that bitch, what happened to Lindsay?

Not necessarily. It depends on the firm, don't let all the .002/.003 talk warp your thinking. There's several things you need to consider when selecting a prop firm, commissions are NOT the be all and end all. Do a search it's been discussed ad nauseam.

I'm not gonna get into any specifics on trading methodology, accounts, or anything of that nature. But regarding Rob Friesen, he is a phenomenal trader with excellent results. I know on elitetrader all you hear about people teaching courses is they can't trade that's why they teach - but...

Hahaha get the hell out of here!

I can't believe so many posters actually replied to this fucking clown. Chewbacca oh great trader, please post your year to date PNL so we can all bask in your trading prowess!

I remember seeing it in another thread, maybe someone else could find it..i'll search for it later. But I do seem to remember him having two years of flat/negative net returns. Edit: Wouldn't you say a trader losing money being bullish in a bull market and vice-versa in a bear market is at...

Also i'm pretty sure the average ET'er doesn't start their own hedge fund or write books. This site actually has a ton of great traders that aren't after the easy buck of writing because (here it comes) they can trade! There's a number of great traders I know that also don't waste their time...

Is that a joke, the guy lost money shorting stocks in a bear market, what the hell kind of trader is that? He had a losing hedge fund, tell that to the investor's lost money. Trading is all about adapting! He couldn't, look at his track record for the past number of years. His re-tooling...
