It's all about your career goals and expectations. IMO, if you aspire to be "great", and one of those talking heads on CNBC, no reason to put off...
Pretty sick! Keep that up and no reason to ever take outside money. That said, no harm in forming some kind of structure and tracking numbers...
I fully agree with what hilojack said above.... it's been largely my experience as well (minus expensive investment in attorney fees). For a...
Now now, don't be so harsh! They're probably not lying... ... it's perfectly possible they're just incompetent. (I fully agree this is a hard...
Well, it sounds like you and sle were thinking more along the same lines, in terms of some form of profit sharing... ... I'm a little more...
What I read was "third data party integration" and reporting. That would make more sense from a pure text point of view. Various trading...
That's an interesting concept... are you referring to actually sharing returns? I personally would find the idea of emerging managers cooperating...
Those numbers do make sense. There's only so much profit being generated off of 20% returns off of a $100 million book... and it really seems to...
But help me understand this... for whoever is managing the trade desk at the banks and is generating alpha independent of other bank business......
Appreciate the insight. Color me naive, but I assumed that these PMs/traders working at top funds were taking back very large paychecks. If...
$10-50 million gross in trading gains per annum...? Just backing out the numbers there... if 2/20, then the fund as a whole would make...
And that's something I've been meaning to ask about, actually... what's the typical capacity found in any one of these strategies / managers?...
Tutor's Tensor Fund has a Sharpe of 0.33 (start date is 2005). Smaller Momentum Fund has a Sharpe of 0.00 (start date is 2009). I think PDJ...
But, why bother? By and large, the people with a few billion to allocate don't actually benefit personally from out-performance. It's not...
In terms of the sle and smoker discussion... - capacity is not the same thing as size. Large funds arguably must have high capacity, but...
Looking at IS intra-day, and the spread looks reasonably tight. I don't know how it trades during a big move (if it's being arb'ed right on the...
LOL. In my email to the CME, I asked rhetorically why they'd let dinosaurs dictate policy. That comment reaffirms the point.
Unbelievable. I'm sending them an email right now. I'm not a huge customer... but I traded roughly 4000 RTs in the grains this past month,...
No way! That article made it sound like the CME wouldn't be going back. That would be a ridiculous change. The fact that the ICE is taking...
No, that's not correct... despite what ICE's own website shows as trading hours, I don't show any evidence of trades after 2:00 PM CST on the ICE...
