Here is the cut and paste from the Trader's Monthly "Top 100 traders" of 2004. You can get the whole thing by going to:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bob Bright
City: Las Vegas
Firm: Bright Trading
Age: 65

A senior statesman among prop traders, Bright still lights it up. The NYSE-listed equities market has always been his sandbox (he dislikes Nasdaq market makers), though he dabbles in futures an doptions, mostly equity indices. Lately, he has been employing a pairs-trading strategy. "He's thrilled over the NYSE merging with ArcaEx – it's a big win for prop trading," says his brother, Don. When he's not trading, Bright scours the Strip for a baccarat table from which he hasn't been banned. He also owns Bugsy Siegel's 1933 Packard limousine.
Estimated income: $15 - $20 million

Quote from BOSS_HOG:

You should mention that Bob's income is derived from overrides, not trading!!!!

Wrong.....the income we stated is simply from Bob's personal trading (and was understated a bit). I do thank you for allowing me, once again, to show that we actually "do" what we "say" ..

Thanks again....and, yes, even CNBC had it right this time.

All the best,

Don
 
Quote from virgin:

Don,



Let us know what your brother makes from trading !:D
More...

I think we just did...with the authentication of a national magazine (not that Bob has ever cared about posting his successes, and 2004 merely added a few percentage points to his personal net worth). They did, however, understate it by about $10 Mil.

And, yes, for all of my "fans" out there....I have never done as well trading as my brother...he is simply the best, in so many ways. What I try to do is take what he knows and share it with our new traders, and yes, make a few bucks trading myself, LOL.

All the best..

Don
 
Don,



Sorry if those numbers are indeed from his
trading alone:eek:

Congratulations to your brother !

I haven't done THAT well, yet....:D

very impressive.
 
Depends on how much capital that was used, If he made 15 mm using 15 or 20 mm of capital, then it was indeed impressive. However, if he used 100 or 200 mm of capital, it's average at best.
