Sid is still alive? Modern medicine is amazing. Who'd have ever guessed you can live to 120?

How can you study for 3 years or more and bust your ass and not know the answers to those questions?

So would they laugh if I sent them my resume? I traded equity options on the floor for a small group. Definately not Hull or SIG or anyone like that. Maybe they would think I'm qualified to answer phones.

I'll read that book for sure. Thanks. As you can tell from looking at my past posts, I've been contemplating this move out of trading for a long time. Probably 2 years. I realized around 2003 that I was a pretty good floor trader (in options) , but the off-floor thing has been somehwhat of...

Can anyone enlighten me on what a job in a mutual fund might be like? I'm not talking about a major wall street firm. But more of a smaller tier firm. With maybe 2-10 billion under management. I threw in the towell on a 5 year trading career last week because I want to find something...

I'd like to read the article but am I missing something? What is TID 885rc?

who are the companies? I'm sure someone reading this post will have some info on them.

My subconsciuos? It's more like my conscious mind telling me to get out of trading. I've been fighting it for a couple of years. The equity swings aren't as easy to take anymore. A wife and kids can do that to you. I was asking about the GMAT because I really don't know which direction to go...

Not that it has anything to do with trading, but I am thinking of taking the GMAT to see how I score. Can anyone reccomend a way to study for it? Is there a good online course? How long does it take to prepare sufficiently?

Does anyone know what the term Family Investment Office refers to? I have a friend of a friend who has put me in contact for a job with a hedge fund and the HR person from the hedge fund described them as a "Family Investment Office" and a hedge fund. Does this mean they are funded by a really...

I say it's just OK because they group you in with a group of guys. Some have been there over a year and some have just started. So you spend a majority of your time going over basic information for the new guys. They have mock floor trading sessions which are really a joke. And a lot of the...

I worked there for 6 + years. If you want to trade on the floor, then they are ok. It will take you 2+ years to actually trade. The training program is ok. Not the best out there, but they do have a structured class schedule. If you want to trade off-floor I would say look somewhere else.

I'm talking about actual trading firms in Chicago not stocks. Maybe they're too small for anyone to know who they are. Thanks anyway.

Has anyone ever heard of gator trading or akamai trading? Thanks for any info you can give on them.

I traded on espeed when I traded the basis. The cash market is a very different market than anything I had seen before. New rules seemed to pop up daily. Every time I htought I had it figured ou I would get cheated out of a trade somehow. And when I called espeed for an explanation I would...
