Ray Bitar and Bright Trading

  1. Over the years, we have offered an internship program for UNLV Juniors and seniors, where they would receive 4 credits (I think) for coming to the office, studying for licenses, and learning about trading. They would need Series 7 anyway to trade in any case. Perhaps you can check with your people at UNLV to reinstate this? My brother and several siblings are UNLV grads.

  3. well, that aint so bad. They really need to legalize it. Then I wouldn't be in such bad shape when I am darn near flat with no medication.

    Thank g-d I have something on in EUR/USD just to keep me stable.

    The Dollar is going down

    Right?

  5. back when the entry fee was only 25k, if I had a kid that wanted to learn how to trade, I would tell them, "Here, go see Don Bright. When you blow that up, come back and talk to me."

  6. the thing is, you'd be surpised how many kids don't actually want to trade. It is very hard to find somebody that wants to put in all the work for a career that in most cases pays less than a steady job working for someone else.

    although most of those with steady jobs don't understand the benefit long term of the 60/40 split

    it can be quite substantial

  8. FTP and BB have a very similar business model...
    They collect rake from mooks off the street.

  9. Hey Snoop and Oldtime - I'll just leave this to you (as per our PM Snoop), LOL.

    Always curious as to where these people trade, if they trade at all.

    Care to share? Care to compare business models, ethics, regulatory compliance?

    "Mooks" really? Those who are willing to get licensed, risk some capital, and start their own business trading....? Our traders are some of the best and most solid individuals on the planet. Hardly online poker playing from the losing side. Most would either never play online, or be on the winning side.

    Ah geez,

  10. I trade with ib. I have once bankrolled a successful trader back when it was cheap. 25k on the SF stock exchange 50/50

    like I said, my daughter would get close to wanting to trade, and I always told her I would set her up with Don Bright just to learn the basics. But they don't want it bad enough.

    the reply I get from those that I know would be good at it is, "Too much to learn."

    I just don't understand, I never could learn enough and still to this day always want to learn more.
