    we have enough nuclear weapons to destroy the entire planet several times over. how can anyone actually believe that we need MORE military spending? how can anyone actually believe that we need anywhere near the amount we spend on the military? where do all the hundreds of billions of...

    Nyx

    revenue was not bad at all. the miss in earnings is just a superficial blemish in my opinion. but yes, i was surprised they missed after all the changes that have been made.

    Steve Nash MVP

    what gangsta thing? what all-star players are gangsters? just because you are black doesnt mean you are in a gang. the nfl is equally full of poor role models yet it is the most popular spectator sport in the usa and no one complains about the nfl being full of thugs and gangsters.

    Adapting to the Hybrid

    anyone worried that their prop shop is going to pull a worldco? almost all traders in my office have cut their volume by at least 50%, if not 75%. anyway, if prop traders' volume is down 75%, prop shops revenue from trading commissions is down 75%. plus, the old business model of bringing...

    Is the specialist screwd up or it is normal business at NYSE?

    your order might also have the auto refresh setting on it so it resends a new order every few minutes, which would bump you to the back of the line. i think NYSE took away the fee for leaving orders out there but im sure alot of ppl still have this feature on in their trading platform. if you...

    How has the transition into the Hybird market change your short term trading strat?

    alot of firms waived software fees if you hit a certain amount of volume per month. that being said, most people probably do not hit those benchmarks anymore and are paying their full software fees, which can add up to over $500 a month.

    How has the transition into the Hybird market change your short term trading strat?

    the problem with scalping is when you market in to get stock, you get filled 5-10 cents away from the price you wanted to hit. when you try to get out, you get filled 5-10 cents away from the price you wanted to hit. what used to be a flat trade in gross terms now easily becomes a 10 cent...

    Echo current traders

    if you are a scalper, echo is not the best choice for you. im sure most scalpers will get shaken out with hybrid but if you are planning on scalping, you will get killed using the echo platform. other than that, the firm is stable and fairly well run. the software is decent and fairly easy to...

    Suggestions for a soon to be College Graduate

    daytrading is the worst experience to have on your resume right out of college. if you are among the top 4-5% who ends up making a good living ($150K+ a year), then you dont need to worry. but if you are part of the other 95% who doesnt make any money, or not enough to support a wife, kids and a...

    Does it help to work in NYC?

    you are right. maybe if i was rich enough to the point that i could throw $150K down the drain and not flinch, maybe NYC would be a different place to live. and plus, i would have so much money to do anything i wanted and one of the last things i would do is spend my time posting threads on...

    Does it help to work in NYC?

    you need the AC to breathe in NYC. in fact, i think it gets hotter in NYC than in most southern cities due to the congestion of people and skyscrapers. i hardly see how living on beachfront property in miami is considered unsophisticated. if you are making $1MM a year, that $150K in tax savings...

    GMAT Test Suggestions

    the test questions itself are not THAT hard. what makes it hard is the short amount of time you have to answer all the questions. unlike the SAT, you get penalized for blank answers. the official guide books are the closest to the real test since they are REAL questions. but i feel they didnt...
