I've been waiting to hear whether or not CME's gonna start offering crude/energy fut's when the no-compete clause expires. I thought I heard something on CNBC that it would today, but I was busy. I checked the website and there wasn't anything, I thought maybe this could be behind the runup in...

Was anybody at Ceres? I got there at 6:15 ish and it was pretty busy, but I have no clue what anybody else looks like!!!

I'll be at Cere's tommorrow, maybe early (after 4ish), my parents are coming in tommorrow to visit so I'm thinking about just sticking around the city till they get here (11 maybe)....and hell, why not at Cere's ! If anybody else is gonna be there post here.

Hey I thought you weren't even here anymore? BTW I saw Santelli at the Merc today for the first time, out front getting a smoke with all the clerks. He's alot smaller in real life.

I deserve the ribbing for missing out, considering I was one of the ones promoting a get together revival. I had plans for dinner w/ family at a restaraunt my cousin starting cooking at...unfortunately I didn't realize untill too late that the restaraunt is in the suburbs. To make it up I...

I may actually drop in ceres w/ another trader from my office after 3 just to chat a while, I'm having dinner w/ some family (all my family is actually in Chi Town) a little after that then back to Ceres. I'm the 24 yr old, short dark hair prolly wearing jeans and a light brown leather...

I'll be a little tied up at 6 but I'll be there right after.

I usually go out on fridays so if Res gets a baby sitter for next week perhaps we can all get together. I'm looking forward to it, it'd be great to put some faces to the names.

where are nitro, res, saxon, et al for a night of some good conversation? I'll pour out half my 40 oz in honor of CBK! Seriously, lets see a bit more intereqst and I'm down to meet at ceres or whereever. A few guys from my shop would come too. Regardless, I'll be at the merc tommorrow...

hey fellas. I'm in Chi town now, have been for the past few weeks, and I'll be here for a few months. Checked out a few bars near where I am (lincoln park) and some downtown. Haven't been to ceres yet. I was at cactus, seemed like a bit of a trader bar (pictures of the floor up) and...

As well, Baron, if you ever would want any promo items, this logo would look great on alot of stuff.... I'm thinking some t-shirts, pens, hoodies, shot glasses, stress toys, flamethrowers (the kids love 'em!)* *Spaceballs reference

I originally found this site perhaps two years ago, a prop trader I know referred me to it because of the useful Broker ratings and reviews....all the reviews (software, books, etc) are some of the most useful stuff on this site, IMO...whenever I hear about a brokerage or platform this is the...

Give the man his due. He's stuck his neck out and made big calls maybe 5-6 times this year (that I can recall) and had big wins on maybe 3-4. Thats pretty damn good, IMO.

Yeah actually I did, despite how stupid I may have sounded. The interviewer said what tipped the scales for me was that in the phone conversations and interview, my enthusiasm was 'second to none' about getting a shot. He said in his expirience, succeeding w/ them depends simply on single...

Any other shape besides a circle, the lid could fall through the opening. A round manhole cover cannot fall through the opening. These types of questions are silly in an interview. Well, not silly, but shouldn't be make it or break it type stuff. I'm fairly good at alot of trivia...

an individual trader and a 'hedge fund' are not nearly as comparable as you're assuming. There are entirely too many different style funds, and different style traders to make it sensible. As well, you can't compare a 5-10% return on 10 grand to a 5 or 10% return on 50 million. Just...

Curious here, what kinda stuff do you buy with all your money?

just one way of looking at it, that seems to suggest a continuation for the bulls: There is still a fair amount of bearish sentiment...which can be translated into "there are still new buyers that can enter the market". I've been considering as well...w/ the economy going well and alot of...

I didn't mean to knock the kids w/ my post above, just sharing a very brief convo w/ one of them. Curious, though, if you are picking S&P stocks and use intelligent money management, wouldn't that make beating the index alot easier regardless of the picks (survivorship bias, or something).

I'm actually from psu and my ex's friend was part of that. From what I understand, the students were assigned different sectors and their job was to pick three or so stocks in their sector. The girl (my ex's friend) that I talked to chose abercrombie, panera, maybe nike. Basically...
