    ghco...yes or no?

    I agree with Squadron completely in saying that that there was a great bunch of guys in the early 2000's, best group of people I have ever worked with. But that was GHCO then, and this is now. Knowing the things that I know my advice to any newbie is look elsewhere. I suppose an analogy would be...

    ghco...yes or no?

    Getting to the point, are you saying that GHCO fired you and now you have a different view of them? That wouldn't suprise me as I have known a few loyal GHCO employees (supporters) change their tune once they were fired. You say that you no longer wish to be associated with THESE people, so...

    ghco...yes or no?

    There were a few, many relating to lizards and scales. The turkey neck name was the most memorable for me... :D . Like you I remember all the traders I know speculating who it was. It was great fun accusing people and then seeing those widely rumoured as the culprit getting panicked as they...

    ghco...yes or no?

    I remember one poster once saying that snakes cannot take too much direct sun light :D My favourite part of the Schatzman posts was the list of nick names that the newbie grads had for Ralph :p . Let's just say that they were very clever and hit the nail bang on its head, LOL.

    ghco...yes or no?

    I know there are certain posters who are clearly GHCO equivalents of Jehovah witnesses. My favourite biased poster is Boblman who only posts the marvelous ways of GHCO......funny that he only appeared after the whole Schatzman posts hammered their reputation. Schatzman for those who don't...

    ghco...yes or no?

    Lets see if I now get banned for highlighting that thread....even though it is in the public domain and old Hehmeyer intentionally left it as a threat to the trading world.

    ghco...yes or no?

    Check out this link; http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=48646&highlight=Hehmeyer Kind of proves what they are really like at GHCO and that is from one of the owners Chris Hehmeyer which is why the thread was closed and nobody could reply. He is threatening to pursue...

    ghco...yes or no?

    All true Squadron Leader, all true. And to think that me, you artis74 and nonotechno most likely know each other is even more laughable. Squadron Leader I presume that you at least once upon a time worked at GHCO as I did, and the other two are still flying the flag it seems - although...

    UK trader looking to trade in CA

    You forget that Australia is part of the commonwealth and many Aussies have ancestral roots via parents or grand parents which is why they can return and get passports. Also UK immigration is a joke. But the USA has the hardest immigration law in the world next to Canada so your chances are...

    job choice help! Goldman Sachs or Trading Firm???

    My point is that Tomcole doesn't need to try and tear people down before they get started in the business. That's for the markets to do. The primary purpose of this board is information exchange, and if newbies can benefit from drawing on the knowledge of those with experience then the system...

    job choice help! Goldman Sachs or Trading Firm???

    Once again Tom Cole shows up to share his infinite wisdom with the masses!!! What I don't get is that Tom seems to think that nobody but himself is Ivy League, he doesn't believe anyone who says anything remotely positive about themselves and yet he loves to boast himself. I think that maybe Mr...

    Experienced trader needs career advice

    Sometimes the hardest thing to do is accept reality, but you have been realistic in your self-assessment and that puts you streets ahead of many burnt out traders. The problem you will encounter is that trading sucks on a cv. All ex-traders are branded as risky to employ purely because employers...

    join Group One / DRW Trading Group or Goldman as i-banking analyst?

    You fool!!! I just read your posts about swift. Here people is a fresh graduate who recently posted about turning down a job at swift and hoping he made the right choice. I have traded prop futures successfully for almost 6 years and work 2-3 hours per day usually. I do just fine financially...

    join Group One / DRW Trading Group or Goldman as i-banking analyst?

    My point is that if you are going to work 100 hours a week then you may as well do it for yourself. To work for another just means being exploited, it has to as they are paying you less than what they are selling your services for or less than what your time is worth, how else does an employer...

    join Group One / DRW Trading Group or Goldman as i-banking analyst?

    It is!!! It's just another example of cheaply padding the firm out with dead-wood. There is no way that this guy dreamed of doing such a mundane job since he was knee-high. Of course his defense mechanism is to get flustered and to spout jargon as if to justify his existence, when all his job...

    join Group One / DRW Trading Group or Goldman as i-banking analyst?

    You're such a d1ck-head Randek!!! I love the way that all IB types and IB hopefuls for that matter try to build I-Banking up to God like status. Just accept this one simple fact, the richest business people on earth did not start off working at IBs and sucking corporate c0ck, hell no. They...

    Offer Standing, Unsure if I should take it

    GHCO is the same owners now and then, which means its the same management!!!!! All decisions, especially important decisions (an so ALL company policy too) at GHCO are made by either Ralph or Chris the owners, plus their top management is still the same. Just look at their corporate history...

    Offer Standing, Unsure if I should take it

    He is implying that animals live at the zoo and so, draw you own conclusions. You said that they offer excellent training who told you that, GHCO I bet right? Well they are hardly going to tell you that their training sucks are they. All these prop shops say the same shit about their fast...

    college grad seeks advice...

    I would NOT take the GHCO deal ever check around and form your own opinion. I know many people still working there and so I get to hear many things and far too many complaints from people who I trust to tell the truth. But hey that is just my opinion. By the way at GHCO you will never take the...

    The next refco?

    Do you know something that we all don't PTrecon?? Care to be more specific :D :D :D Be careful however with what you say because their reaction is typically :eek: then :mad: and then the legal action. Censorship of the thread lurks somewhere inbetween of course.
