You lose on potential price improvement but gain on the definitely lower commissions. Further, if you are a profitable trader, wouldn’t you want to be lumped in the bucket of people who are considered unprofitable? Retail order flow is sold because the customers are statistically unprofitable...

In likelihood they were using you to manage their unbalanced risk. Their book earned on the uncorrelated uninformed retail flow by competing on tens of thousands of 10 lots. Citadel supposively had two hundred people working in its EMM group (this is from 15 years ago).

Shhhh! Stop giving away the secret!

Returns are totally unreasonable: The main website assumes percent of premium which is ludicrous. They have a margin based website but even that shows abnormal amounts of risk. No one gets 100percent of their trades right. If they are so smart why does their website keep serving ads for...

Investment banking. Private equity. Management consulting.

Apply for research analyst positions. Fundamental analysis isn’t dead despite what all the press articles say. Getting a PM seat is a difficult job and is a career goal. It’s like asking to be CEO right out of college.

Sure. The paper, that was cited in the article you referenced in the OP, referenced another paper that showed that negotiators statistically negotiate harder with women than with men. I didn't go down further in this rabbit hole because it's not worth my time - but if you care enough about the...

The article actually states that when the actual pay is equal (by union mandate), women make different choices that lowers their compensation. The paper acknowledges other studies that show women make less for other reasons and specifically says that they wanted to normalize for this by...

Why did you cut out the next line in the guys quote from the article?

The research paper is actually not bad. The cons are twisting it’s conclusion. By using normalized wage data they show that women make choices that reduce their ability to earn. I bet most of it has to do with domestic duties and family issues. It doesn’t prove the thesis put out by the OP...

Phillip Morris is mentioned in the book "Good To Great" as one of the great companies. They did very well from the 80's through the 2000's. They had all the right ingredients to succeed and show that you can make a lot of money in a declining market (if you are great).

He was outed as a fraud.

That his gig was under scrutiny. He made 12-50mm dollars as a political strategist. He did it by siphoning campaign ads to his ad brokering firm. When he joined the administration he didn’t sell the business and now people are asking questions as his profile went up.

I do not believe any reasonable company “fires first and investigates later.” We just had a sexual harassment claim and HR and all the production managers spent two days investigating the whole situation. In the end, the man (the offender) was terminated but he claimed throughout that the...

Are you blaming the democrats for selecting Trump as the Republican candidate? Or are you blaming the democrats for not winning the Presidency? What does collusion have to do with this? You are all over the place here.

I'm still not sure how the Democrats putting forth a weak candidate explains why the Republicans picked Trump.

You chose your own irrational and insane platform. Don’t blame the lefties for trump winning the republican primaries.

No American will take the job and I want my room cleaned. :)

They proved that bucket shops were more reliable than real brokers who were powerless to absolve their users from extreme losses.

Everest capital was the most prominent. FXCM didn't blow up because they were the counterparty to their clients' positions. So the clients had credit balances to FXCM. FXCM just tore the trades up - because they knew they couldn't collect anyway (without involving bill collectors and repo men)...
