I hear some of the Jasper traders are having difficulty transferrring to another sub - to the new sub that Steve set up after Jasper owner, David Glass, got busted for insider trading. The CEO at Assent is on the fence about letting traders move over because of the insider trading scandal...

Does anyone work at this firm? What are they like? I hear they pay you salary and cut of the profit. They are on Rector St., NYC.

This isn't a rumor. It's all true. It was also on CNBC this afternoon with Erin Burnett. David Glass, owner of Jasper Capital, is busted.

It's funny how a few people on this forum adamantly defended Jasper Capital and David Glass. It's all clear now. I've heard existing Jasper traders are being moved to another sub within Assent. Try to make money legally. Good luck to Jasper traders who are caught in this ugly mess.

Shady characters running Jasper. Watch out!!!:D :D :D

Does anyone trade out of Assent's L.A. office located on South Bundy Drive? If so, could someone shade some light on the followings: 1) How are the group leaders, Joe Gitto & Adam Wasserman, like (pay on time, approachable, offer competitive rates, etc)? 2) How many traders are in...

They are a sub of Lynx Capital in NY. They share the same office space in midtown, NY. Don't know much about their reputation though. Are you in L.A.? Where are you currenlty trading at?

I'm starting to trade SHO stocks a lot now, but I find them harder to read. When you trade SHO stocks how much risk are you taking as a rule of thumb (5 cents, 10 cents) and what would be the most risk per trade you would take? Also, do you scale in and out of the position or is it a one shot...

How much risk are you taking when you enter the trade and hold it out for a bit longer time frame? 10 cent, 15 cent risk?

How difficult is CAIA exams? How many hours of studying? What's the minimum score to pass (70% or better)?

CFA is very industry specific and has limitations. It can add value in areas such as mutual funds, equity research, but out side of this space it's pretty useless. I worked in one of big five I banks' risk management dept. and worked with a number of CFA charter holders. I wasn't impressed...
