I got an offer from there San Francisco office... They seem like a great outfit, but I decided on a different route.

Generic has been around for a while and is well established.

Which route did you take?

This may sound odd, but Generic is a solid Firm. We have always considered them a solid and respected competitor. With WorldCo gone, we are down to 3 or so major firms.

FNY is not really our competitor....ETG's Mr. Kantor is pretty much retired.

I have not heard much from Hold for quite a while....but they never really showed up on our radar (maybe good for them, lol).

I'm just commenting on the firms that are in the multi-billions of shares on the NYSE ....those are who we consider "competitors".....

This doesn't mean that there aren't other good firms......
