Maybe we should do a flash headline... "Somebody deceived and got away with it"?

Such things might GET a position, but to KEEP it you'll have to perform. The truth doesn't take long to be revealed.

In case you didn't notice, many big funds imploded recently

Banks are notoriously tight and thorough in their evaluations of candidates. You wont get far walking in with a retail account.

Posters keep claiming that... and banks are not the only possibility. Besides, anyone running OPM has a fiduciary responsibility to its customers/investors. You need to PROVE you deserve a chance... and the institution shares the risk at least in reputation. So what do you expect... you turn $1,000 into $2,000 in 3 years and you want an institution to had you $Millions of customer funds to run? Ha!

But if you're not on Wall Street, didn't go to Wharton, and live in a one-horse town... what do you use to make a name for yourself?

Your personal retail account is about all you have to demonstrate ability. Once your performance is long and strong enough, you'll be accepted. (I know from which I speak.)

You have a very conservative impression of banks.

Actually you are quoting the wrong end of the horse.

The one-horse town is Denver. But now that they've widened I-25, I guess you could think of us as a two-horse town.

This horse looks ready for BACKTESTING
which is another hocus pocus way of
deluding newbies from real-world trading
by sending over-zealous fresh grads in circles
doing rubbish systems-testing.
