Well, back-office generally sucks. However, you could turn this experience into a positive one and if you kiss the requisite ass, maybe you could become a trader's assistant. Of course, that depends on your drive, ambition and a good deal of luck! I'd still give it a shot. Prop trading...

Go for it! Any opportunity to work with Merriwether's band would be great for your resume. Plus if you do well as a trader, you'll have invaluable contacts among the big money crowd if you want to set up your own shop. This decision is a slam dunk! If you could get into Steve Cohen's group...

I guess by the same token, prop firms should charge high commissions to weed out those who don't take trading seriously.:confused:

Q: Are there any firms that DON'T charge their traders $1,000 per training session? A: Yes, only the firms that have a vested interest in your success. Shops that derive 100% of their revenues from desk fees, commissions and training will charge you per session. Firms that receive a...

Yeah...and facial hair is a plus!

There's nothing wrong about wanting to look good! Heck, I look great, I can bench press 225 lbs. for 10 reps, have 9% body fat and can run a mile in under 6 minutes. Getting girls was never a problem for me! But wanting to look good is not the definition of a "REAL MAN." A "REAL MAN" has...

REAL MEN don't shave their bodies, primp in front of the mirror each day, use self tanning lotions and obsess about their physiques 24/7. These sissy boys are as physique-conscious as homos and most of them are pseudo-men with huge inferiority complexes to match their drug-enhanced muscles...

To each his own Spanky! You sound so sure of yourself. You must have some proof that has eluded the brightest scientific minds of the past few millennia! Would you like to share your wisdom or is it only reserved for Alfalfa and the gang?

You can blame mankind for that one, not God! Blaming God for the weaknesses of man is a cop-out. God gave us free will and control of our own destiny. It's not His fault if we screw things up down here. Blaming God and claiming He doesn't love us is like blaming a father for letting his...
