    Yeah, Casey is an only child - that is why I have PROOF of where the expression comes from (unless you count my dog Shreddy, who THINKS he is a sibling.)

  6. What gets a person to team leader status at worldco ? A larger cash deposit ? Management likes you ?

  7. Actually, many team leaders never made any or much money off their groups (some even lost money).

    anyone can be a team leader. If you think about it Worldco get you to do some administrative work without paying you shit.

    Everyone I know that is a team leader wished they didn't do it. Its not worth the few bucks you get.

    Even some guys who run their own office have issues.

    I was asked if I wanted my own team two years ago when I was negative.

    I would never attempt to act like I know what I am doing and "train" someone. I think a team should only be lead by very good successful traders who will train their team.

  9. Since you asked.....if an LLC goes into bankruptcy, then that means that they are "net negative" ...overall assets to liabilities, and then it goes something like this:

    The net assets of the LLC, including the traders capital are used to pay off the liabilities. (a plug for BT coming). We keep a minimum of $10 Million of Class A capital to protect all the traders capitall form such an event. This is disclosed in our balance sheets, which we freely share with our members and prospective members.

    Traders are not liable for anything in excess of their accounts in the event that there is such a bankruptcy.

    Everyone: Read your agreements, ask the hard questions, be comfortable with your working environment.

    I can go into more detail, but I would like to have my compliance officer review my statements......If we really want to go into more detail, perhaps we can do it on the "chat" that is going on Thursday....

  10. Now that you brought it back up, you never answered my question. My estimates were that you had lease obligations that amounted to about $10 million. Under your scenerio that would put the trader's money at risk for the liquidating value. Add in all the yet to be depreciated assets and other obligations and the 10 million isn't what it used to be...
