“Not sure if this is on your radar, but a Goldman trader took a $1B (yes, that is $1 Billion) position in a sub-prime mortgage index last week. He was fired today after the position suffered a roughly 35% decline. I can’t verify if it was closed out yet, but the loss thus far stands at about...

I couldnt disagree more. That's what people were saying before the tech bubble burst, and thats what so many people say before the major events start to happen. What are you going to say next, that since spring time is coming and that's when people "buy houses" that this is going to all go...

NEW would have been a nice short, but cant anymore.

I enjoyed Ugly Americans. The main character runs a fund in hawaii.

thats Anna Friel, the woman who played lisa leeson in the movie rogue trader

I love that movie. And I agree with the others, if he wants back in, good for him and I'll wish him luck. He's going back to doing what he loved doing, minus using other people's money.

for the most part, yes. I would like to start a private equity fund in the future with my current clients and future clients that I continue to prospect but for now I would just like to spend my time trading and audit my accounts to show the performance. I'm not looking for the leverage that...

This is somewhat of a tangent going off from the 'managin money for others' thread since its turning into another hedge fund/opinion thread. Just wanted to know if anyone knew of any retail trading firms catered to high volume prop traders who handle customer accounts. I know they're out...

Im in the US. Going through paperwork now, been on the phone with a number of attorneys and lawyers and I think I may have found the solution. Hopefully so because in the mean time I've been seeing countless number of opportunities for some great trades. In any case, if anyone still happens to...

traders probably got smoked, but the top traders of the firm (top 4, ceo etc) all became multi-billionaires. intraday trading IPOs is always a tremendously risky thing. I didn't touch it, too much smoke and mirrors behind it, and all the believers LOVE to just jump in and while they do that...

Well, at a normal retail house, getting charged on a per ticket basis gets to be pretty costly on an agressive intra day basis. Even when negotiating ticket prices down, its still expensive and doesnt leave too much room. Given example: If im doing around 100 transactions per day minumum at...

Well, I'm looking for a firm that handles retail clients as well as prop traders, I suppose I would be interested in getting involved with a sell side firm, but to be honest I just dont know where to go. I have been to a few prop trading firms that "say" they can handle myself and clients but...

I'm actually going through a similar situation right now and it's becoming a bit of an obstacle. I have been a retail broker for about 4 years and have been trying to get into trading for a while now but I've been looking for the right place, right people etc. I have a few clients that are eager...
