i wonder what kind of fees the private equity guy charges to his investors, it seems he has a very large overhead.
Just out of curiousity have any of the ''Partners'' or ''Senior Traders'' worked for a real hedge fund or investment bank? I would like to know their work experience, because unless they were with a hedge fund, principal market making firm or investment bank I cannot take this seriously.
Just thought I should throw some of my findings out here... Since everybody and their mum have a profile online these days I tried to find out some more about Laetitia and if she succeeded at that prop shop. Doing a quick google on "Laetitia" "SMB Capital" Trader and "New York" the following MySpace profile popped up: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=66069011 It seems like this Syracuse graduate is currently a trader at SMB Capital. If you scroll down the page to his commentaries you find a comment by a person named "Laetitia" who says: <i>yoooo! whats up ? long long time ! how u been ? hows life treatin you ? so did you find a place in dirty jerz ??? haha anyways hope things are good. <b>im done with the show, tryin to figure out the next move...</b>la bla bla, you know how it goes. anyways let me know how you're doing </i> This was October 23 2007. If I remember correctly the acceptance e-mail she got was dated June 1. If the scentence "<i><b>im done with the show, tryin to figure out the next move...</b></i>" means that she quit the shop, she lasted less that 5 months. You could check out her MySpace page by yourself. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=46586347 Let me just say that I am not 100% sure that this Laetitia person is the same as the WSW one, but I'm pretty confident that it is her. I've been trying to figure out her surname, but haven't been successful in that. In the prop shop interview she said her name was Laetitia Laroque... Le Roque... Leroix... I don't know. Can't seem to figure it out. Well, that's all. Looking forward to see how she does in the coming episodes... Regards, Curious George
I have it on VHS...i lent it to my neighbor...if I can get it back you can have it. Just pay the shipping and if you want to slip a $5 bill in to buy me a beer it's all yours.
I bought this DVD at Amazon a couple of weeks ago... http://www.amazon.com/Open-Outcry-C..._bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1201962969&sr=8-1
i cannot believe these guys held onto SNDK FOR SO LONG. IT JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW A BAD INVESTMENT TURNS INTO A MARRIAGE(YOU MARRY THE STOCK) AND TRY AND CONVINCE YOURSELF YOU MADE THE RIGHT DECISION WHEN ITS QUITE OBVIOUS YOU DID'NT.
$5 will only buy you one of those watered down American beers, you'll need $10 if you want a real Canadian man's beer!!! Tiki - how are you .... hows the boy Surf, Thanks for the link, love the show ... that female lawyer looks like a score why not go for her? Oh wait you already tried the lawyer thing
In my previous post I criticized the show, but just to show that it wasn't completely without value, here is what I learnt from Episode 2: 1. A $28 Idiot's guide to daytrading beats a 4 years, $80K business school. 2. When you are a business manager it helps if you watch The Amazing race, just in case you have to catch a helicopter in 40 minutes. 3. It is faster to cut shoelaces then untying them. (this was my favorite educational info) 4. Apparently coldcalling people is still a profitable business. 5. Traders in the cottonpit are just one big happy family and they think of each other as brothers and sisters.
1. I paid more than $28 for books 2. Flip flops win 3. Coldcalling is the best! :eek: I love those telemarketers, specially the girls, I simply ask them (the girl) if she is wearing any panties... :eek: they ussuallly hang up right away 4. Cotton - you got to love cotton, specially if you are a woman...what do you do if you are in the rag? COTTON!
