    their is a huge difference between branch offices & trader groups

    i was referring to branch offices only . correcting your statement

    most prop firms have many groups & we all know that

    they are growing but not as big as you made them sound in saying they have 20-30 offices . sub groups ok then

    By the way if you talk to folks at wts or dimension they still say it was a merger but your right a buyout of dimension is what really happened

  2. i know the rumor on the street is it was a merger but it definitely was not, it was a very quiet and carefully acquisition from my understanding.

    Thanks for correcting me. I would agree with you they do own out right maybe 6-8 locations with lots of subgroups; however, a lot of the subgroups operate under a franchise so they use the WTS name. I think this is the case with Los Angeles and the ones in Texas.

    There's been a lot of consolidation in the industry since the new regulations came out. Only the strong have survived. I expect it only to get worse until we're down to 2 or 3 choices for prop. I'd hate to see it come to that but it looks like that's the directions we're heading.
