    90% traders don't make it???

    Yeah was digging around Columbia's b-school's site. Its really not that hard to get a S&T job if you come from a top school. In fact, odds are that will be in supply.. Even if you don't get your top pick, your backups will be name brands...

    A Wall Street Affair: This Bachelor Party

    Unfortunately, this is the mentality that a daytrader often takes.. Screw the real trader, he is worse than evil. "All that money, what a fool he must be!" LOL.

    CNOOC a threat?

    I would think the heavy buying of US debt by foreign entities would be far more worrisome. That being said, there is no way this deal is going through if the Chinese government is helping to fund this deal in any way.

    911, London Terror - Some Folks Getting Rich off of Terror

    Whats not ethical is halting US stock markets when a news event effects prices. The specialist is the one who is profiting off these unexpected movements, not the trader or individual investor.

    New IB version busted

    Hi Aaron, according to the testimonials at Ffasttrade, you said they were the best. http://www.ffasttrade.com/content/trade/testimonials.htm Why would you be using an "inferior" broker to handle your trades. Were you compensated for making that testimonial? Just to set the record straight...

    Cme

    If this merger goes through, wouldn't this ultimately be bad for CBOT traders? From what i understand, CBOT fees are much lower than the CME's.

    Futures Trading Secrets CD (+- 2points/day on Emini)

    How did you come up with exactly $847 for the cost of your methods? Why not $799 or $1000? Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't buy it for 84 cents, but just curious.

    U.S. DOJ investigating Milberg Weiss

    Good article on Milberg Weiss. The fees they generate are sick. It also talks about the expert witness settlement. http://www.forbes.com/home/free_forbes/2004/0216/082.html

    U.S. DOJ investigating Milberg Weiss

    Class actions should be handled by the gov??? Not sure why you would want to substitute special interest and the like to handle mass injury. I think its too easy to say sleazebag lawyers. In this case.. if even found true, this is an isolated case.

    Baldwin Blows Out?

    Huh? You are basically saying that you are someone who is in the know but isn't saying anything. There has to be by far the most arrogant post I have read in a long time. Who in the world cares if you think you are priviliged? Baldwin having multiple seats is no big secret. Thanks for the...

    Congratulation Bob Bright ....

    Have you even read the magazine? Its a quite interesting read.. and certainly has improved since its in inception just a few months ago. When you say its all about lies and rumors, what do you mean? Are you telling me a business magazine like Forbes, or a mens magazine like Maxim is better in...

    Party Poker IPO...

    With all that paper.. wouldn't partypoker just buy other websites that they see as threats? I don't think this is a 10 billion company but far more.

    MDL Capital looses $215 million for Ohio state insurance fund

    I am a little confused. So you are saying that the reason why Lay got these contracts had nothing to do with race? Instead he offered lower fees than his peers? I probably am misunderstanding what you are saying. But the sales pitch was probably heavy towards an up and coming minority versus...

    MDL Capital looses $215 million for Ohio state insurance fund

    Okay, stuff like this really pisses me off. Just for the record I am a minority and do not possess racist views. But what are the chances that Mark Lay won the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation contract because he is black? Additionally, he controls partial assets of the NBA and various gov...

    Congratulation Bob Bright ....

    The biggest secret in the prop business is how much the owners make. If there is a tradeable strategy that he can share, it is not for the few hundred bucks. It is for the thousands of new commish from newbies that will be using their strategy. I don't believe in some of their recruiting...

    Congratulation Bob Bright ....

    Umm, thats probably from his ownership in Bright Trading. Another words, he is probably making millions off the commish from you guys.

    more bad on brandonf

    Its kinda sad to see.. All the sponsers here are held in such high regard, and then you have this guy. The fact that a message board consumed him makes me quite scared to ever speak against the guy. If i became a member of his, would he harrass if I left? I can't even imagine what type of...

    Circle T trader looses 12 mil on google

    I'm a little perplexed on how this is a news story. When did losing less than 5% on a fairly small hedge fund become news? I would think there are trades in all hedge funds that break their internal risk/reward parameters. Personally, if you can't risk 5% once in a while, I don't want to be part...

    Has Buffet Lost His Touch?

    Trust me, Bill Gates has FAR more bodyguards.. They are for the most part better hidden in the background. I saw him speak in nyc once, and the amount of security surrounding him was higher than the president.
