Andover Takeover

Discussion in 'Prop Firms' started by calibertrader, Dec 19, 2002.

  1. Bob,

    I don't beleive a U-4 would say the time you worked on the floor. I think it only says the firm you worked for.

    I mean heck I could have worked for Goldie, been a mail clerk and no one would know.

    Just trying to get the facts , nothing but the facts.:D

  4. Just for some clarity

    The IDS life insurance is part of American Express Financial Advisors as I worked for them as a financial Advisor. Not sure why AMEX does this.

  6. I disagree with you to a point.

    I know I make money, it may not be millions a year, but If were to look for a place to trade and they required my previous pnl?? It's really none of their buisness. They should be more conserned about how much I trade since it's all about the commissions.

    I'm assuming a retail account where no firm capital is at risk.

    Caliber, gotta bustya chops a little
    :) :)

  7. I like the chops busted!!!

    You're right, in a retail shop where you put up your own money and get 2 to 1 leverage, there is no need to show p&l. But in a prop shop, where they are going to give you 10 to 1 leverage, you have to show your p&l so they can see the risk they're taking with giving you the additional leverage.

  9. Risk??!?!?!?! at 10 to 1

    There is almost no risk providing extra leverage, if ...you do it right.

  10. In what form did Andover get a "Billion" dollar boost to their balance sheet?

    And what did Sungard get in return?
