false advertising.....hedge funds can't do it.....mutual funds can't do it......'prop' firms shouldn't be able to do it

Prop = no capital contribution + licenced traders + salary "Prop" = capital contribution + no licences + no salary....just a nice way to say retail+leverage. Go to craigslist, hotjobs, monster.....wherever......and you have tons of 'prop' 'job' posting trying to mislead people into...
