Hello I am looking for traders in the Hamptons or Eastern Long Island. I would like to exchange ideas and experience with bright individuals.
i'm an active trader who lives in southampton. email me at aabatang@optonline.net if you would like to discuss trading.
Looks good so far. I will collect emails. We can form a www. meetup.com group here at eastern long island. I think it will be good to exhange ideas on many different subjects regarding stock/bond/futures/currency/etfs/es etc. Also different trading software/brokers/etc.
I thought this thread to be quite interesting. Can somebody please explain to me the whole "Hamptons" thing? I saw it talked about briefly in that very funny MOJO TV show called Wall Street Warriors, and there was a guy who actually worked on the Street by day and commuted out to the "Hamptons" on the weekends??? I thought that was odd. Is that an East Coast thing to do for Streeters? Or, should I consider the Hamptons the same way I do our Beverly Hills out where I live here on the Left Coast. Help needed in understanding that makes the Hamptons, the Hamptons! Just curious, that's all.
the hamptons are what kids in school call "The home of the rich and full of shit" hehe my mommy drove me there once. traffic everywhere and the price for a hamburger was over $10.00 so we ended up eating back where we live which is by a town called riverhead. Heres some pictures from the hamptons. http://www.exploreli.com/guides/south-fork/hamptons/hangin-in-the-hamptons-august-2009-1.1343654
Thanks, LJ. I took your link and then ran some google on real estate in the area myself and came up with this: 24.81-ACRE COMPOUND ON COECLES HARBOR Shelter Island $19,900,000 12 bedroom(s) 12 bath(s) 12000 sq.ft 24.80 acre(s) bayfront-harborfront Pool Or, this: GEORGICA PONDFRONT ESTATE East Hampton $39,500,000 South of Highway 6 bedroom(s) 7 bath(s) 12000 sq.ft 1.90 acre(s) pondfront-lakefront Pool So, it would appear that the further "East" you go, the higher the prices of real estate in the area gets. When I looked at some of the interior photos of many of the properties for sale in the area, they all seem a little dated. However, some of the homes look new with custom arrangements. At these price levels, you can most likely design whatever you want, but the overall styling does seem far more "traditional" in its architecture than out where I live. Seeing other photos and video of the Hamptons area, it gives me the sense of Blackhawk in California, without the exceptional water views and some actual water front living. You get large acreage and you are not too close to your next door neighbor with great views. However, the pricing in the Hamptons appears to be significantly higher on average than that found in Blackhawk, California, more on par with Beverly Hills pricing. I think the water makes that a reality in that area. If Blackhawk had the waterfront acreage, then I'm sure you would see $40 million estates there, too. Thanks for the "tip."
hamptons would be more akin to malibu. lots of wealthy and wannabees on the weekends. fantastic beaches! best, surf
