    Finance Master wanting to get into pro trading

    Your contacts are simply not good enough. I think you need to know that even prior to the current financial situation, getting a trading job at an institution was quite hard unless you were an Ivy league grad. Now it's hard for Ivy league as well and MBAs. Also, you need to decide if you...

    Finance Master wanting to get into pro trading

    Listen, they are hiring interns for the most part. The IBs will always make space for a few Ivy League grads to maintain their relationships with those schools for recruiting purposes, as well as maintaining the networking established by the Ivy League system. There is essentially a hiring...

    mlm guru doug Allen thread closed. Why?

    Hey retard, got anything new to report? Looks like Doug is setting back the date of picking the trader another month or so. Hmm, how interesting.

    Finance Master wanting to get into pro trading

    Not sure about that. I-Banks run campus recruiting programs for promotion also. They may not actually hire anyone. I remember they did this right post tech bubble crash, quite a few I-banks went out and did recruiting while there are actual hiring freezes and noone, except last year's...

    Why Do Employers Seek ANY H-1B Worker Visas?

    If you took a look into the finances of these operations, you would find out that it is mostly a scam, just like the H-1B visas were a scam on many levels. At the end of the day, when you call your credit card company, you get much worse service yet still pay the same fees. When you...

    Why Do Employers Seek ANY H-1B Worker Visas?

    Anyone who says this, I have to say BULLSHIT. You're not going to get an Indian MBA for $5.00 an hour. Not a real MBA. What you will get is some semi-retarded guy from an Indian village who got his MBA in a couple months by writing a "research paper". Any Indian who got a real MBA will...

    The Uptick Rule - Your Thoughts

    Are you kidding me? They got rid of the uptick rule for that purpose. SEC bringing back the uptick rule would be the only time they ever did anything in favor of the daytrader. I know most whining do not daytrade & never have. But those that do or have, you guys must have lost your brains.

    So the SEC fee basically tripled today?

    SEC has been doing this for as long as I remember, this is a standard operation. Every year or so they enact a rule to screw the daytrader/scalper. And then they raise fees. On occasion they lower the fees by a minute amount and make a huge fuss about it. It's very clear that one of...

    Uptick Rule

    I'm the clown, yet you are the one bashing a rule that creates opportunities for daytraders & scalpers. I'm throwing it out there that Uptick Rule = Opportunity, and you're too stupid to pick up on it. There are threads on ET going back to 2002-2005 where people discuss trading off the...

    Uptick Rule

    Gee, I dunno, maybe because it is easily exploitable? I don't know what your style of trading is, but in my experience the best trading strategies are about taking advantage of inefficiencies as the risk/reward ratio is heavily in your favor. I've only seen this confirmed more and more as...

    The reality in New York City and the economy...

    What do you think has been going on? There are buildings downtown going for pennies on the dollar and they are still not moving. There are plenty of hotshot developers & RE "playaz" who all of the sudden were deep in the hole as the banks stopped providing cheap credit. I don't know what...

    Uptick Rule

    You ain't making much of a living daytrading stocks and obviously are somewhat of a newbie if you get upset over the Uptick Rule coming back. Any experienced daytrader/scalper would be happy.

    The reality in New York City and the economy...

    When those signs turn to "FOR RENT" or "FOR SALE" do you think it's going to be more or less interesting? By the way, in case the middle aged B&T and euro wanna bees don't tip you off, cirpriani's is essentially a tourist trap. But maybe you have unique taste, I guess some people do like...

    The reality in New York City and the economy...

    It's the new breed of landlords, the hot shot developers, hence the new cheaply built "luxury" buildings with "market" prices. Bloomberg's policies favored these guys, because you know, buying & selling appreciating real estate is considered economic growth & progress in this country. If that...
