Making 2 mio $ at Worldco ....

If somebody is doing so good (or nearly so good), what are they trading?

Stocks? Options?

The stocks worth 1 mio $ per day?

By the way, I dont think anyone is doing that great this year. The top traders made little over $2M last couple years...but I think they might be up maybe +$500,000 or so this year so far...not on par with last year...I can't be 100% sure, however... Maybe Hitman or I Missed The Boat can shed some light into the subject. Since Hitman is a Group Leader, he should have access to those numbers.

So, let's do some math here.

Head of Proprietary Trading 120,000 243,000

That's about $363K Sterling/Englis Pounds * 1.3 = $471K USD

So, it seems like some of the traders at Worldco or Bright made $2M last year or something? Much better than these gus!

LOL!
 
you can't really compare that as those are average comp packages, whereas at pro firms maybe a tiny handfull, if that, managed to earn 2mill whatever.


cheers

This very funny. The only thing I said was refering to an extra 1/2 % on 20 million in profits. Then I said, I will tell you all next month when I hit that level. Has everyone lost their sense of humor ? The 2 million comment was made by Missed the Boat. And it was made as a negative statement about making 2 million.

This is hilarious. Kind of like the game of telephone where one thing is said and by the end of the game a whole new story comes out. I just hope it really happens to me, than you can all say, "who's making 2 million ???, I don't believe it" :)
 
Just for the record. As Daytradernyc said, some of the best traders (who made $2 mil in the good days) are making $500,000 IF ANYTHING AT ALL. In fact, maybe one or two people are making $1 million. The good majority of traders at WLDCO are making ZILCH!
