I think they're a rip-off and people who push them are usually liars. They often prey on older people aproaching retirement.

I *used* to be excited about the markets, back when I knew much less than I know today. Nowadays, after several years of this grind, I'm often just tired of the everyday bs and crappy market conditions, hence my sometimes, not-so-good attitude. It doesn't reflect on the monetary performace, as...

:D :D :D LOL!!!

LOL! :D You're supposed to keep it quiet, Fred! You start advertising your new girl and pretty soon, everybody's gonna take her out, too. Nowadays, its what you trade that matters, not the crap system.

Doesn't sound like you know the RE market very well. Try screwing with fixer uppers in a recession and see how far you'll get.

I was just accessing bseindia.com. The website keeps crashing the IE browser program all the time! That normally doesn't happen when I access nyse.com or amex.com. I thought Indians were supposed to be pretty good in the area of software/programming by now?

There are also 100K's traders/investors in this shitty market fighting for that same nickle.

The trouble with other world markets is that they're not exactly "trader friendly". Commissions, spreads are too high, software, data is not as developed, taxation is also an issue in some places. US is THE most trader-friendly marketplace in the world. I really wish other exchanges/brokers...

You're making things overly complicated. Houses don't rent by the sq foot! It's more a matter of how many bedrooms a house has. Unless of course you're renting some 10000 sq ft mansion, or something. Also, don't buy 4 bdrms to rent out, you'll regret it. Stick with 3bd-2ba-2car. If you *have*...

How about a 6-12 mos "lockup" with a 3% penalty for immediate withdrawals or some similar arrangement?

Rapid growth? 3-4 large "hot money" investors/funds are sometimes all it takes to make a small hedgie swell with assets. But this same hot money will flee like hell a the first inkling of reduced returns. So, where's the "growth" in that? Also, the disruption in "ramping up" and then reducing...

btw, in this economy, today's "treasurer" might be tomorrow's janitor or former treasurer. Sometimes, those people are not so happy to be in the "former" camp.

Maybe you weren't such "good friends"?

It's not the ability to be short but the ability to find an exploitable edge!

'seems a lot of these scams use this "e-gold" money transferring scheme. Is that legit or fraudulent, too?

Hah! Looks like somebody on Elite was all excited about 1 of the scams listed by "hyipscammers.com" a few days ago. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=57720&highlight=feederfund Thanks for the link, SethArb.

Do you have something unique to offer SAC or any other hedge fund? If not, why should they hire you?

I suppose there might be people who DO manage accounts individually. But I'm sure it just become too hard to keep track of so many accounts and positions. Performance probably ends up sufferering as a result. But if a trader manages 1-3 accts as 1 portfolio, whether it be stocks, futures...

sputdr, you need to join tradersinternational. According to their thread on here, they're making money hand over fist!:D

I could do 60-100% per year BUT not with the acct in your name. Why? I'm not interested in disclosing my trading techniques and strategies. This is why you may have to go with a hedge fund which is properly set up to manage OPM. Most good traders are not going to give away their techniques to...
