You completely missed out the gulags, a.k.a. slave camps.

You just contradicted yourself with this last paragraph. You mean the other way around, HF trader to prop trader?

I strongly disagree. Boiler Room is actually a 90s version of Wall Street for the younger generation. There are many of the same themes in both movies and it was intentional by the filmmaker. The father/son relationship, greed, corruption & redemption, etc. Wall Street and Boiler Room...

What do you trade and what is your style?

That's interesting, you have any resources on this topic? I'm guessing studies were done on gamblers but have any been done on traders, particularly floor traders. You have a point otherwise, just like a bad trade, there needs to be a cut-off point somewhere. I disagree with some posters...

LOL that's exactly what I'm thinking. Come on guys, this is a cut throat market. A played out strategy like imbalances has day traders & hedge fund maggots jumping all over it like flies on cow dung. Where is the edge?

Ok I've offered you at least 3 chances in the past to put money on those statements. Each time you never respond. Besides that, I've posted my P&Ls several times while you have not shown once that you even trade, although you claim to be the untouchable trader. You previous replies in this...

The Lynx office at 57th & Lex in NYC is one beautiful office. Looks like a great trading environment right? Well appearances can be deceiving.

Haha How about 2 cowboy hedge funds that buy up stock of a certain conglomerate firm, constantly pressuring the board & CEO to spin off the resources unit so that they can unload their investments at a huge premium. The climax is nearing as the hedge funds already got 2 of their own put on...

That's a good & interesting analysis. Rearden is posting good info, FXwannabe why you replying with idiocy, just making yourself look like a fool again. Besides the capital you need to do the pump & dump. The more "legal" examples are the upgrade/downgrades & window dressing by the funds...

It's the way they handled it. What if the futures had gapped in eitehr direction. Think about that. Good thing there was no drastic opening. I took a small loss, very satisfied with that. Stock crapped out as I thought, I'm just glad he didn't get a chance to gap down.

I have 2 other trading accounts, cash.( go ahead make a joke like "is it a whole 50 bucks") I come in a lot less than I used to and I already shifted my focus from NYSE toward a business venture. And I've started dabbling with some Nasdaq & ETFs. If you think I've been losing money on a...

Big time. No matter how wrong and stupid the recommendations are, many funds (particularly pension funds) just blindly follow the I-Bank recommendations. Don't matter to them, they make their fee regardless. Some average investors also like to follow the upgrades/downgrades. Also, when it...

I dunno how I'm gonna sleep tonight I have a feeling that Im gonna come in and get rocked for a few grand on a 500 share position.

Yes why do you ask? Probably could be the end of US equity traders but oh well.

LOL, Sit next to one of them, no doubt he blows you away. Was top 3 in my group today till I took a stupid hit in the last hour which put me down to 4th. Either way, May was a very tough month, what's so f**king wrong about acknowledging it. Did I even say anything bitchy until the...

System just froze, there were no quotes whatsoever. Mayne you're using Ameritrade and getting filled within their own orders but not with direct access. This even is just more reason to start leaving after 11:30am. I'm finding the afternoon more & more dangerous lately.

Looks like NYSE really sinking fast if this is the new trick that they are resorting to.

Yeah ok, well it aint coming from me. Probably gonna see a point gap down on my 500 shares in this thin stock. But at least Im not long size the stock that got downgraded. Does anyone know if there will be any recourse for this interruption? I think it should be fair for the NYSE to at...

Been sending money out of this country almost every month, chump.
