    The largest single trading floor in the world

    They work for the company, not for themselves. These are not private traders or market makers, they are UBS employees. They do anything but ignore each other. And in the middle of it all, a shoeshine man, usually with 5-6 pairs of shoes to work on. Perhaps the most honest of them all :D

    Quote from rd100: I'm wondering if trading options as a business is good option for my situation Depends on whether you have an edge. Buying options for a length of time exposes you to time decay. Writing options exposes you to sudden large losses while limiting your upside. You either...

    It Is Now Mathematically Impossible To Pay Off The U.S. National Debt

    Haitians Charge Missionaries With Kidnapping

    strange thread. There has been concerns about trafficking in children and potentially even sex trafficking. The OP is completely wrong. These "well-meaning" people had no business rounding up kids and taking them across a national border without papers for a "good" intention. The fact that...

    first generation in US history not to surpass their parents income

    +1. That was a very lame statement. One might as well say that a poor person is a bad person because they don't dress as well as wealthy kids. Looks/outfits and being a good/bad kid have nothing to do with each other.

    My backtested daily P&L

    The main comment is, that backtests rarely have much value. Paper traders will often throw up different ideas and "backtest" them. But it is usually void of Trading Metrics (Sharpe, PF, DD, etc.), and they tend to cherry pick promising runs. They curve fit them. etc. A proper backtest...

    Attention: Chicago Home-based Options Traders

    with meetup, you will likely find for every 10-20 people who express interest, you will be lucky to get 1-2 of them to actually show up to a meeting. Once. So starting up your own would likely be somewhat fruitless. And they have a monthly fee, I think. Better to stick to existing trader...

    The case against college.

    you couldn't stand not sneaking a peak to see if there is something else to drop more of your "impressive educational pedigrees on - Mott's applesauce, Regis Philbin and Deerfield Doggie Wipes" What next, are you going to boast about your nursery school GPA? :D
