    Where Have All The Traders Gone?

    What makes that best man/woman win is what's being discussed here. Evidently these firms with all their vaunted, praise worthy "what makes me different" don't amount to anything when the gig is up. So the best man/woman may not have even made it to the finals due to unnecessary roughness...

    Where Have All The Traders Gone?

    ((almost sounds like that song, huh?)) Where have all the traders gone?, or more correctly posed, where will all the traders be going once their current trading firms change their capitalization/corporate formation arrangements? The industry of Proprietary Traders, Day Trading and soforth...

    Poll: Did Jesse Jackson help cause today's selloff?

    I'm sure that there are many persons there that fit that billing (being of questionable moral character / adultery). Popularity, Infamy, or Being a Public Figure always (unfortunately) magnifies ones conduct (whether questionalbe, common or unethical). Incidently, that equally applies to...

    Withdrawing $ from Echotrade: How does it work?

    Honest bunch, and especially like the other commentator said, no accounting gimmicks. Hey, incidently, the suggested answer as to why do these firms hold and play with the funds is because they are leveraging their required capitalization requirements on the backs of the traders deposits...

    Poll: Did Jesse Jackson help cause today's selloff?

    INTC earnings and corporate reinvestment in development as well as reduced expectation of upcoming ([pipeline]) sales were not what the market wanted to hear. INTC spread to AMAT, KLAC, telephones, chips and other softare firms. Anyone could have rung the opening bell, what we are not...

    The market is whispering something...

    the market is whispering, but what it is saying to me, is not the same as what it is saying to you. not everyone can hear. reading the WSJ daily helps. watching CNBC of CNNfN daily helps. I know that this morning at 8am EST with the results of the post market trading in INTC, and the...

    Hey Vinny, I think we have all contributed to our favorite candidate: NASD & NYSE. And I don't think either ever said they were running for office ((LOL))

    Andover Takeover

    Quite a few years ago, some guys I tutored and consulted for their corporation quit and went to work for Sungard. They provided financial back office computer services to others in the industry, so that those firms didn't have to compete in the Technology Industry (you know, hiring, firing...

    Arrogance is trying to object to free speech, and disgruntled people / traders with their experiences with this entire practice and practitioneers. Arrogance is stating that "expression of one's experiences" is somehow "objectionable" and that "the premise of the thread is wrong". The...

    what is it with the designation between Trader Tax Status and Commodity trading. From a limited understanding, when you trade Commodities (E-Mini's, etc.) this places your Trader Tax (presumably from Bonds, Equities, Options, non-commodities) status in jeopardy. Can any one explain?

    schonfeld traders

    there's a lot of consolidation going on in the industry... Schony pretty much hog ties their traders from commenting on their environment, especially since getting in is very difficult, unless you're the right kind of guy, whatever that means. I personally wouldn't trust any commentary on...
