    I knew a guy who traded there, so I sat next to him for a day b/c I was thinking about trading there. This was Nov 2001.

    Can I be an honorary member? I never worked there, but spent sometime in the 110 Wall St. office. :)

    join Group One / DRW Trading Group or Goldman as i-banking analyst?

    Just to give you an idea of what happened to a friend of mine. He graduated top of his class at average undergraduate with the intent on going to B-school. He worked for a large I-bank in NY. His first 2 years he pretty much worked non-stop. But he stood out among his peers and eventually...

    WTG Praetorian!

    Any comments on today's price action?

    SOX and DOW are price-weighted. S&P is base weighted. So in the smaller price weighted averages one or two issues can have a big effect on the average. And I thought the drop today was mostly beige-book info related.

    First New York Securities

    Oh Yeah..The Long Branch on Washington Ave. I lived an 8 iron away from that spot for a year. It was a blurry year. It's a total frat joint now. And being that I'm in my mid 30's I'd look silly in there. Although I did go in WT's last week. Party On!

    NY Option Traders

    I would contact the guys over at VTrader. If you do some size I'm sure they can get you a desk at the Rector Street building. I'm pretty sure they have a couple guys trading options outta that spot.

    First New York Securities

    That's exactly what they told me back in 2000 when I sent my resume. Although maybe it was because I didn't go to a top tier school too. But my school was voted best party school in Playboy the year I graduated! :) Top that FNYS!

    CBD Trading Group - is this an Echo spinoff?

    Actually, they can be new. The Rector St office in NYC is just part of the MErrill branch. You start a prop firm, go through Merrill and just ask them if they have any space for traders. Then you call that your office. I don't know anything about this firm , just pointing out that b/c they have...

    Countless Joseph A. Bank Clothiers commercials on CNBC:

    Well, I was interested in buying a fun car for next summer but you just talked me out of a classic Vette. :) My Father bought a 1988 Mazda RX-7 drop top black on black. Pretty sweet ride. I'm looking around for something like that. I want something cheap and fun. I don't think I have a...

    Countless Joseph A. Bank Clothiers commercials on CNBC:

    I like the way you think but couldn't it be that JOSB is just trying to hit their target market before the holidays? I do remember the Avaya commercials, seems like most of the big advertisers on that channel get hit. Hmmm what other companies? Let me think about it for a while. When I...
