There is benefit in using both. :)

Amen, if one can stand to work for some else, his poll favors that also.
But you would probably learn some things even working briefly for some one else.
Actually could learn some more things , even not working for them.
There is also benefit in reading olympic champs also;
LoLow Jones noted she like to read.
6 time olympic champ Kim Rhodes like to shoot a lot /Hi volume /good for her \ i dont want to shoot that much:caution::caution:
 
So who amongst us here on EliteTrader has ever made any money via Prop outfits? Name one trader. It doesn't even have to be a large sum.

"Why?"

Better economics as you demonstrate your continued success
Better capital availability again as you demonstrate success
You're building a future at their expense
There may be a permanent relationship down the road
You learn to play well with others
Technology and resources may already be in place
Family offices are often hungry for talent as few consider them
No risk sharing other than your time, which is not an irrelevant cost
They generally recruit from the professionals who cover them and those can be very expensive hires - so you may come in cheap
Engaging with other professionals

Getting in the door can be difficult - generally less likely to buy performance reports and more inclined to hire people
Singapore, San Francisco, and Zurich are the centers of the FO world

Easier said than done. I think Prop is easier.
