Went into a trading firm in NYC... What a bunch of losers

  1. What's the economics of such a prop-shop?

    I mean, how much capital do I need to set up a prop-shop...

    and how much money I can make annually?

    (assuming I hired a bunch of loser traders)...

    Any insiders please shed some lights on the business model?

    I am seriously thinking of launching a prop-shop...

  2. Agree

    Even sandals and shorts are ok as long as they are clean.

    Slobby can mean comfortable
    but dirty can only mean broke

  3. its a crowded market and margins are thin. You are 10 years to late for this business, try something else.

  4. Why would you EVER go prop when a desk fee would outweigh a decent home setup in 2-3 months??

    I was at the CBOT from september to december. I have no problem with people wearing jeans, shirts and sneakers. I prefer it in fact, but please stop buying those shoes, they are simply horrible:http://www.newbalance.fr/Outdoor/Chaussures

    Same goes with the shoes you americans put with suits... those big black leather shoes...What the fuck is that? Suits are meant to be put with italian shoes, right?...:D

    Loved that show! Where are t.v shows today that had that kind of flair?

    And the newest Miami Vice movie with colin ferrel (spelling?), and jamie fox? What a joke of a movie that was! Made me ill!

  8. Bostonian cap-toe ftw! Italian shoes with suits were trendy in 2003.
