You can slice it one way or another; rationalize this or that; in the end, its an adverse selection problem much like buying a car (determining whether is a lemon or not) A trading system on the market has to be VALUED correctly, a crappy one should go for a couple of bucks and a decent one...

Out of curiosity ... how stable is it year in and year out .. I have the feeling that the number would fluctuate by a hefty margin.

Good thing you answered my question. I was beginning to have doubts there:D. You're an analyst not a back office gofer ... big distinction. If you feel you have "game" than by all means hit the prop firms. If you're in the New york area or Jersey, check out First New York Securities...

Are you delusional or are you Steve Cohen?:D I find you argument very very crude and not well thought out. Maybe I am just missing the point. For starters, I am not refuting your assertion that 10% cannot be done. But 10% on a risk-adjusted basis is very very tough. Your claim that it...

I posted this on HIS/HER other thread. Not trying to be skeptical or anything but .. what back office position pays 55-60K? 2nd year equity analyst makes considerably LESS.

That must be one powerful virus if BIOS doesnt start. I think there is a HIGH possiblitiy of physical malfunction than a virus. Overheating? Weird sound? Hard drive spinning at an irregular pace and sound?...
