This means nothing. Regulatory services is determined by the issuing state/jurisdiction of the securities. If you have traders trading US stocks and are making a commission on trades, you must register as a broker-dealer. Even foreign companies must be a registered broker-dealer. Nonko and...

I highly advise all of you guys to stay away from firms that are structured as U.S. based broker-dealers or hedge-funds. These firms are being shut down very actively by the SEC. I was at a conference a few months ago where a highly reputable law firm made a presentation and showed that of the...

Networking is more important than grades.

the #s published are deceitful. I worked inside a career services office in college and know how it can be. Don't get me wrong. I believe b-school can be a great investment and it was for me; However, I strongly advise against the mentality of "prestige" because all markets are financial markets...

It has not turned around and that's the type of marketing fluff my alma mater spreads about how their graduates fair better than all others which is complete fluff. At the end of the day, an MBA is just a nice add-on to the resume. It holds as much weight as running your own business for 2-years...

Because plenty get suckered in for the name - just like people who drive cars they can't afford. In simple marketing terms, it's called brandwashing. NPR wrote a great article a while back on why our higher-education system isn't producing good returns on investment and one of the major reasons...

I agree to a large extent. Going back to school for the social experience is just Brandwashing. It's the same thought process behind buying a Mercedes for social reasons. Just make sure you know the costs involved and what will be required to pay those costs off. It costed me well over 100k for...

Sure, you can. Most traders don't get accepted because they fail to demonstrate leadership skills. If you're making it clear you want to use the MBA to get a banking job, most schools will toss out your application simply because of the sheer number of applicants who apply. You have to...

any type of skill you obtain can help you land other jobs. it is completely up to your ability to sell your experience as a rare skill which would be an asset to whoever is hiring you. Of course, an MBA from a top school will surely help; However, its commonly over-valued as it is only one part...

there is a wts office there. if you are interested in equities the rates and platform are good (platform is very cheap). The customer service is horrid though so I would recommend them if you are good at self-troubleshooting

KM Capital Management is in Austin, TX. There aren't many firms in rural areas as there are in the larger cities. Most prop firms are in NY or Chicago.

to raise 10m, you will probably need to start a hedge fund and provide an investment offering. You will have to display your PnL records as well with the offering. It will likely run you 100k+ just to setup the fund to be able to find the investors. The firms I posted are the only ones I...

You need to be a US resident or have some type of US work authorization or sponsorship from the firm (highly unlikely as it is very costly".

what are you guys talking about? We're bringing these folks desperately needed democracy!

Kershner is out in Austin if that's of any help.

I don't think Obama makes foreign policy decisions. His puppet masters are in control. The MIC and banking cartels see $$ in Syria. They are going in. Not to mention how conveniently this happened. Right in the middle of all the scandals of the administration that nobody is talking about...

Those are the only two of. Good luck.

That's absolutely idiotic. It's the most successful guys who I've seen trading their own capital because they don't want the hassle of having to use OPM. If you were an excellent trader with excellent and consistent results that are proven, why would you be on a manhunt for OPM or to work at...

it actually stands for Down & Funky....JK.... DF meant short for Dodd-Frank

Have you Tried Infinium capital? They have an office on Greenway Plaza rightnear the Southwest Fwy. You can try Cobra trading too although I believe they may be in Allen.
