Don Bright sighting

Don,

One of the traders just called and told me you came in...unfortunately I was not there or I would have asked you to leave myself as your visit was unexpected and a disturbance.

Since I am out of town trading at another Assent office, I was unfortunate to miss the spectacle.

BTW DON - Andover changed its name to ASSENT (no misspelling)...or maybe you did not get the memo yet.
 
Quote from jem:

Since I am not in management I do not know what the deal is with assent. Just been told it was a name change.

I too once wondered why so many held such strong views about Don. As I never had a problem with Bright Trading I tried to stay away from being Anti Don. Even when I thought he may have been spinning things a little too much. But then he made what I thought were nasty incorrect and underhanded remarks about the trading business I was running. So now I am going to call him out --- It seems Bright is now selling it own "sub franchises" as part of their LLC. When I get answers I will probably back off. until then it is my mission to get beyond the snake oil and find out what is in Bright's magical trading elixir.

Don I wish I could join you today but alas I have something else to do.

Stay tuned for a vigorous round of questioning. By the way I expect you will come out fine --but the information will come out.

Question 1 will any of the traders be in a different risk pool if they are part of a sub franchise/ sub llc/ independently owned office.

more to follow.......

I don't think that I ever maliciously attacked you or Dave Floyd or anyone else regarding your business organization. And, if it was construed that way, then I am more than happy to apologize. If nothing else, I try to stay on topic, and sometimes when it comes to business arrangements, there are some better than others. And, also, regulations change, business practices can be dictated by circumstance rather than by choice at times.......and I really wish you could come by and shake hands......after all, it was Dave who really helped me a few years ago with his constant dialogue about the business.....and I owe him at least a drink or two....


Don


BTW, I will be glad to answer any questions about which "pool" of money is being used by any of our organizations......the expansion continues, but the base capital is still intact.

So, come on by John.....:-)

 
Quote from Don Bright:

The "sighting" is true....and I wondered how long it would take to make it to elite trader. Obviously, not long. I asked permission to "come aboard" and it was granted, then after a little grumbling I was asked to leave. .....lol.....

I have walked in unannounced, but with full identification of myself to WorldCO, ETG, Generic (we have lunch once a month), and many others.......it is really too bad that a few harbor such grudges.....I won't take it personally, and will just attribute it to a concern by higher ups.

To jem and jack, I hope you can make it by this afternoon.....and please bring JKirkland and my friend Mr. Tharp.....

Another curious thing, is that I guess "Lynx Capital Partners" is no longer there, they have a new (paper) sign up called "ASSENT" or something like that......glad to see progress is being made. (Possible misspelling of the name, and if so, I apologize, perhaps JEM can illuminate).

I would like to say that I don't make "visits" under "guise" or behind an alias.....just being friendly.....believe it or not!!...

4PM HardRock....

Just friendly recruiting. I would have called the cops.

You have the business ethics of a snake.

Sorry to have missed you John.....and to be quite hones, I am sure that my visit did not disturb anyone nearly as much as having your "recruiters" invade our offices....(not you personally, but your firm's.'.... We have remained civil, and I hope to continue that way....and you are welcome to visit my office anytime.

I don't "go undercover" (kind of hard to do, lol).......I just shook a few hands and left....the same thing I do at many other firms.....

Again, sorry to have missed you!! Hope you can come by the Hard Rock today.....

Don

Funny!!!!!

I was not aware of any "Undercover Brothers" within ASSENT!!! Have you become paranoid or what Don?

Have Eddie sent the Jet to Texas and pick my family and I up and I will be glad to have you buy me drinks.

Over and Out...

Once again, thanks for allowing me the opportunity to shed some truth to the board. Many firms, over the last few months have invaded our offices, solicited our traders, with reckless abandon. Since they don't have the ability to "grow the industry" or train traders very well, they stoop to horrible recruiting practices. I, on the other hand, have visited, quite openly, a few other firms, go to lunch with the managers to share information about "rogue traders" and new regulations, and the like. Today, for example, I am looking forward to buying lunch for the WorldCo people......

Much better than hiding behind an alias or sneaking into an office under false pretenses.....

Thanks again....hope to see you this afternoon....

Don

You continually justify your own bad behavior by pointing to the behavior of others.

Didn't you ever learn 2 wrongs don't make a right?

You can justify anything you want, doesn't make it right. Prisons are filled with people who justified to themselves that what they did was OK and right, because others were doing it too.

You know the guys I mean....and I purposely did not say that you did anything like that......the "undercover brother" is obviously Jack, in your office.....which has already been taken care of via my conversations with the management. Again, you're OK in my book, and friendly competition is always welcome. Are you in the Austin office...??? How is the remote expansion doing??? Sometimes seems easier than bringing people into the offices.....


Have a great day!!

Don
