    Criteria for Hiring a Trader?

    Ok let's get a realistic look at this. The Ivy League system was set up as a network of connections for the rich & powerful. The "top" professors at Ivy league Univs or college/university for that matter are judged by their research and awards NOT their ability to teach. Most of these Noble...

    Packaging yourself for a life after trading fulltime

    Uhm Yes in Eastern Europe, dude. And more than 22.5%/year. Certain very big and very well known city that has made many ppl millionaires and even billionaires in less than 10 years. And there is more such growth to come with some new changes in regulations.

    Make your money work for you

    It's funny that my last post was deleted while this troll is allowed to keep posting over and over. Coolwhip, basically I feel you're a waste of time so I don't care to retort that much to your idiotic posts. You're a delusional loser, so try to get help cause eventually reality will set...

    Any thoughts on PFE

    Key difference in MRK and PFE products. If you know some ppl in the industry, ask them about the vaccine products edge MRK has over PFE. PFE has been growing too much through acquisitions and their in house R&D hasnt been too innovative. I like both of the companies, big pharma is a very...

    Make your money work for you

    Forget CoolWhip, he isn't worth your time and anyone who actually takes that troll seriously is either gullible or too trustworthy of the "elite" in EliteTrader. There is an interview with Bill Gates where he was asked about his success. Now I do not approve the slightest bit of Bill Gates...

    Make your money work for you

    I agree with you regarding coolweb's idiotic and delusional state of mind but please bring up better examples like Soros. Manipulative scumbag bastards do not exactly go into that equation. Blowing up your competitors to keep a stranglehold monopoly on the working class is not smth you...

    For all you clowns that shorted GOOG on

    Are you that ecstatic that you're long? It's like you have had your first homerun, relax already. Such signs of an amateur. The ones to make money short on this are gonna be the insiders & smart money when this stock will just gap down ridiculously on news. For this stock to actually show...

    MGT: promising newcomer to the AMEX

    VHC Capital ehhh? One boutique bank does not justify the validity of this company, it could just a speculative position for them. AMEX does have a lot of undervalued and undiscovered companies, they do have more credibility than pink sheets yet scare away a lot of investors with their scummy...

    Stats for successful trader in prop ?

    Ok but hopefuls will push themselves to Year #2 and possibly Year #3 even if they are not making money and I have seen this and still observe this. It means nothing. A business venture has its own innate costs on top of the individual's cost of living, so it is much harder to maintain. I...

    Stats for successful trader in prop ?

    There are 100s of prop groups out there and most of them are "chop shops" & employ the burn & churn scheme. Steve's is one of the top 5 groups out there. A few of their top hitters are well known by name among who matters in the NYC prop world. So take his stats and then consider everything...

    GM common yields almost 10%

    It's 9% at the moment. 10% isnt anything special when the company is a BK candidate with a bleak future outlook. Not even close to compensating for the obvious risk. Look at SRT, yields 8.4% after a nice bounce from the lows and that companies financial & business situation is better than...

    First New York Securities

    Not true at all, they hire experienced traders as well (prop & self) and will even give a shot to a non-Ivy if you really stand out. They interview more applicants than you think and pay more attention to your experience than your school. For new guys, it's a win-win situation to get into...

    What's the dumbest thing you've done?

    Becoming a prop daytrader two and half years ago instead of collecting the free money in RE as a sales agent or a mortgage broker. Or even being a personal trainer. Live and learn.

    join Group One / DRW Trading Group or Goldman as i-banking analyst?

    Another idiot with a selective reading problem. I know it's hard to understand but Trading Desk is totally different from Investment Banking Division. Once you get that through your head, your criticisms will have some relevance cause you're talking out of your a$$. Regarding Lehman trading...

    join Group One / DRW Trading Group or Goldman as i-banking analyst?

    No you f**king idiot, I was not and am not willing to make those sacrifices. It was the first time I ever said to myself that money is not everything. I know myself and I would not have been able to take that stress and abuse, especially not the health effects (I'm very health conscious). I...

    join Group One / DRW Trading Group or Goldman as i-banking analyst?

    First of all I NEVER EVER claimed to have done investment banking and if you really searched my posts you would know that I was trying to get into it and had a great opportunity BEFORE I experienced working with them for a couple months and saw what it was REALLY like, not the BS you get...

    join Group One / DRW Trading Group or Goldman as i-banking analyst?

    Judging from your posts, you do not even fully distinguish between Investment Banking and Quant Trading Desk. 2 different departments that officially barely communicate within the same firm. I have several friends in the I-bank industry and I've worked with I-bankers for over 3 years. I...

    Thain on CNBC: longer work hours for you in '06

    It will just expand the dead zone, or the afternoons. Normally I would be upset but since I finish by 12 now, I am looking forward to finish by 11.

    Bullish or Bearish on the future of Tape reading?

    Look at Nasdaq and expect more of that in the NYSE Hybrid.

    join Group One / DRW Trading Group or Goldman as i-banking analyst?

    Nonsense, Most I-bankers burn out & quit, because you have to be near insane to succeed as an I-banker. Rarely does anyone get fired, ppl simply do not make it to the next step and just collapse. There are a lot of ex-associates walking around in NYC (im sure nowhere near the failed prop...
