WSJ article on Steve Cohen and SAC Capital Mgmt

Quote from Hombre:

This is the rumor I've heard . He paid full commissions in exchange for info which stock will be upgraded, downgraded ......
That is why he was on the floor receiving calls ...
Probably just a rumor...

Sure. Because, when I was in the business, people were just dying to pay full boat for no reason. :confused:
 
Quote from flytiger:

If you looked at Gasparino's report on the trader with no body hair, he was, in the process of going throught the sexual harrassment bit, interviewed by the Feds about the trading at SEC.

We all know there is no model in the world that allows for performance like that with the size increase in assets he has enjoyed. Something is up. The Feds don't just show up and ask unrelated questions. He probably figured at the time he did the piictures he'd need soft and fuzzy.

Do not be so naive, he is good at what he does, maybe a little dirty tricks here and there, but you gotta do what you gotta do to stay ahead. I have total respect for the guy.

I love the rationalization. It's like giving a putt on the edge. Next thing you know, leather, then 3 feet.

Dirty tricks here and there. Someone special is going to read this and smile at that bullshit.
 
Quote from fader:

one cent per share sounds high - what would this figure include?

Its terribly high for prime brokerage which includes access to analysts, software, and a number of other things.
 
Quote from TorontoTrader2:

.

But really, for the large orders do you need someone (multiple people?) to work them? Could you fill them yourself using anonymous ECNs alone? I wonder how much size you can push through ECNs and not unduely move the market away from you.

I probably could on a very liquid NSD stock, but if I'm trading a large position in anything on the NYSE, or something that averages under 5% of what I want then I want someone working my order for me.

I believe this is a scam. This is what my professor in economics told me. Anything guaranteed above risk free rate is a scam.
