JA was not within cents of BH trade but was in a range given his own call. So BH trade did not or could not alter his own call.
For instance, if you were selling a 95 Honda Civic for 5k and given my own exp of buying/selling 95 Honda Civics said the real vaule should be 4300-4500. Is that...
is it an addiction if you benefit from it? I gambled a lot in college but made about >100k over 4 years.
Was able to set myself up for first job and get a house. I still gamble but not as intense as in college.
I got an email last week from a high school grad that wants to be a trader. He is about to enter college and wants to do something this summer to prepare for internships.
I really dont know what to tell him as I doubt any firms I know could use him.
What would be something he could do...
Community Bar on Smith
Taking our summer interns out and 16 oz steak for 16 bucks. Cant beat that
Come out and enjoy some shop talk.
I am working on drink specials now.
PM me if you plan to attend.
I would not say the jump is tough to make but more the culture of the firm to make it.
For instance, if you have some turnover or a growing desk then it may happen quicker. If you have a head of trading that rather hire exp people then bring someone up then it may be tough.
Often times...
sorry guys... been in a big poker game online

I dont care to talk about trading but always nice to know people in the industry or looking to join. Just some drinks with like minded people in town.
I have a blast with people in the office and various couterparties we trade with but never hurts to know and expand our network.

First $100 on bar tab is on me
Anyone intersted?
I interviewed here while I was working for a BB..... I was curious about what they were doing and my friend in Austin mentioned them in passing. So I applied and wanted to learn more.
I had a hour long interview in which I was asked why stocks about 10 times. I asked the lady why she kept...
