Thinking about this paragraph. Your points make a lot of sense. In finance sector, Bulge bracket investment banks offer probably least risk, compared to prop. trading firms like Getco/Infinium etc. And being an independent trader is the riskiest. However, as one starts to succeed and puts in...

Thanks! Very interesting to know. Interesting to know that Microsoft CTO left within a year. Maybe he didn't fit in with the culture. Do you have any further information on this quant who walked into their office. Like what was his background? As per story, he should be in top 3 people at...

Yes, we do consider this 207mm as trading cost. So, net profit would be 212 mm only over 9 months. With 400 employees, it works out to 500k per employee net profit. Well the trend is not too bad if you consider the relationship of VIX with their PL. In pages 32-33 of PDF, they have mentioned...

Thanks for the names. I bookmarked all of these. Some look pretty good. For my excel/vba needs, what i do is whenever I encounter a problem, I do a quick google. Most of the times, I find enough hints that help me solve the problem real quick. I think that googling to solve excel problems...
