p.s. I bet the guys on trade2win are all just killing it! LOLOL

The really funny/sad part is we're all being completely honest/helpful. It's like asking an artist how to paint. All they could tell you is buy a brush, canvas, etc and do it. It wouldn't help anyone a whole lot to get the answer on where to buy the brush.

Your eyeballs <----- you were correct exactly two words

Is this a trader's forum or english class? geez The guy managed to meet Cohen in person and your picking at his grammer. Are you serious?

Yes, they are part of sales and trading. These days their job is to stay as close to even PnL as possible, mostly always on the losing side. No, this experience is generally not seen as a path to the prop side of an IB

good one - I wonder which prison that site is run from? ;)

Yep, nice catch, you must have caught me lurking in there! :)

I think that's pretty much what they do every day...

What plans do you have for the cash if you make the whole $20?

To be sure, you need to ask your broker exactly how they handle this situation. But, the generic case is if you're short a stock that goes to zero, you never have to "cover"/realize your gain - so you've made the money and never have to pay taxes.

...and hopefully not the "brown thumb"

I don't do a ton of charting. Sorry I can't be of more help on that one.

Gator, Let me apoligize in advance if I'm off base, but I just checked out your posts and 7 months ago you were looking for a prop firm that offered training in futures and 2 months ago you were seeking feedback on some sort of IPO flipping scheme backed by someone looking to split half the...

How big is your hedge fund?

Thanks def, seth I'm already feeling much more comfortable with the purchase! Apparently it just takes an additional radon card ($199). The standard card is a dual, so the extra card is supposed to get me to 4 monitors. I'll let you know how it works,

Has anyone used the IB TWS for a MAC? I just got off the phone with the apple store and b/f I drop $11k on 2 powermac's and 8 (overpriced) monitors, it would be great to hear from someone who might be willing to share good/bad experiences running TWS on a MAC. Def? IBsoft? It would be great...
