Yes I said spin doctoring for potential clients Your job is to deflect from the central question of why you sell rather than trade
Since ZAL and me are competing venders I'm not dying to defend him BUT: I went to grammar school and high school with Doug and then traded in the Bond pit with him. Trust me, he doesn't need the money. Some of us are a little older and enjoy teaching. Also after gambling professionally for two and a half decades it's nice to get a lower risk/stress residual derived from our knowledge.
You will Hey it's no skin off my ass, a few newbs get fleeced and they chalk it up to experience, fine by me.. just don't try to kid a kidder
There's a saying If you throw enough shit against the wall eventually some of it will stick Pretty typical pay per use room nonsense !
TradeMaven Group, LLC (of which I am the majority owner) is much bigger than you apparently give us credit for. For the record: I was a was an independent Bond Pit trader at the CBOT for 12 years. I was an independent S&P Pit trader for 2 years and an independent Gilt Trader at the London International Financial Futures Exchange for 2 years. I began trading on the screen in November 2000 (never full-time, always part time). eLocal (majority owned by me) was established in 1999. Growing the firm was always my number one priority. Why do I spend more time managing my firm than managing my trades? The value of the firm is much larger than the value of my trading account.
For the record: today's my 49th birthday......I've enjoyed every minute of it with the ET members. Now I'll go spend the rest of the evening with freinds and family members (they're much easier on me). Thanks
