Those are the kinds of questions people ask *before* applying for a job.

Marketing slides are nice. But they really need to do something about that trading engine of theirs, it's slow as hell.

Invent another Ivory Tower metric that leads traders down the garden path of destruction, no doubt.

He hasn't made money in over two years. Not necessarily an auto-reject, but it would be a good idea to understand why, exactly. It looks like he's (poorly) trying to catch long-term bull trends in one of the indexes - the charts certainly line up well with what you posted.

"Consumer-driven" is an effect, not a cause.

Why on earth would you do that? What's going on is what always goes on - retail is being taken advantage of.

You guys got this sorted out yet? :p

Don't know, don't care, not touching it or going anywhere near it.
