Hey Pabst. I enjoy reading your posts as always, they are very informative. And I would have to agree with your examples. I could see why someone who was a floor trader for 20+ years may consider remote if their local office is in south Florida. This is the type of guy who could easily run...

Has anyone heard of any prop firms that are coming to the Dallas area soon, possibly sometime this year?
