Letter of reccomendation

Quote from sim03:

Those are impressive monthly P&L numbers. Interestingly, the period from January through April of 2000 was the height of the dot-com bubble, with NASDAQ peaking at an all-time high on March 10. I was curious what sort of typical monthly P&L numbers did you produce in the months and years after that period, and on what BP?

You mention GSB... Have you been accepted at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business? If so, congrats... when are you going to attend?

my trading numbers after that juncture are inconclusive as I was in the middle of a nervous breakdown, however my over all level of accomplishment was very high. I will be applying to gsb.

Chicago GSB becomes more competitive the longer you're out of school, as is the case with any competitive program. I went to Haas and it was a great experience. Too many gypsies at UC.

I bet - down telegraph. I would have had a field day. :)

I graduated magna from NYU and scored a good position. NYU placement is fantastic. After a few years I took a promotion in SF to be close to my fiance, who was in medical-residency at UCSF. It was actually a lateral-move, as very little trading was done on the West Coast. My GMAT was >750.

it's a concern to me. Ideally chicago or sloan would be ideal. otherwise yale or cornell. worst case scenario - I go back to carnegie mellon. or back to law school ( don't ask) but with gsb I can trade during the day and work at night. I feel that I did something and belong there. hope they see it my way. of course I need a fricking letter of recommendation .

I could always bump up my posts by starting stupid useless threads about why no one loves me and why I can't make it as a trader


like you do.

Go ahead, add another number to your total count.


Moderator, Pls move this thread too to the chit chat section

why would anyone want to bump up their posts?

why is he visiting my other posts in the chit chat room?

again - don't reply.

Absolutely, your academic credentials are a minor barrier to entry. You'll need a viable recommendation unless you're just out of undergrad. The MD I reported to was highly-regarded on the street and earned $15-million that year. It's ironic that with a good letter and a 650 can get into HBS, and without you're SOL. Not to brag, but I could've gone anywhere, mine was a lifestyle-choice, and I don't regret it for a second.

I had a 3.5 after switching out of pre-med. where did you work that the md got paid 15 mil. I have met and know people who wnent to chicaggo. I somehow feel comfortable placing myself there. rankings shmainkings. there are a lot of people who would go to columbia over chicago. I think gsb caters to a different applicant.
 
Does this technique still work with any stocks? I know people that made a lot with it in the good ole days, but assume it's over.

2. I would trade internet stocks off of the s&p futures.
