I highly doubt it since it was meant for the average retail trader. GS studs do not read any books, they learn it in front of their face day in and day out. What's your point....
Interesting side note. Many people who are truely gifted in mathematics (ie. know how to properly pronouce Poincare and Euler) have deficits in the communications area. Not to mention they refuse to shower and are completely socially inept. The more you know And before you say being top shelf with respects to math does'nt mean you can be a good trader. You should probably look into the hiring practices of big firms when it comes to pure math phds.
Its becouse 1. You have your own website/ news service/........etc 2. You know how to trade optios well.....for god sake you teach people how to trade. 3. You probably have a huge account But what if you not proficient in the markets??? What if you want to learn more??? What if your accoun is small?
Well first I do not have any service or etc.... Second I was talking about myself as the question was directed at each of us as individuals, not asking what I demand others do.... I think you see the difference . Hence the use of the word I in my phrases lol... Third, if you are not proficient in the markets, what in the world makes you think GS or any major investment bank would hire you anyway. In that case you wil have to do it yourself
no wonder you sound a bit short on the experience side, and eager to get consensus to your way of thinking. Did you get the boot?
the OP wasn't asking the newbees. He was asking if you would give up your 100k for 500k at a firm. i.e. assuming your earning is already at the 100k level. of course, if you are not at the 100k level, the choice would be a no brainer. No questions needed. Then the issue is not whether you would choose to work for a firm, but whether the firm would choose to hire you.
My point was that if these guys who make well into 6 figures at a big firm have read your book and learned stuff then the satisfaction of knowing that is worth quite a bit. I just heard you wrote a good book on options I really didn't know your target audience was retail.
Well I doubt it. Someone earning 6 figures at GS trading options is not learning from a book, except a Cottle type book. They are learning from those around them most likely and trading complex posiitons while hedging greeks and are way above me. I am more satisfied with helping retail traders who often jump into options too quickly with too little knowledge and lose money too easily. Only people I would recommend my book to at GS are the mutual fund investors who have no clue on how to use options to limit risk and hedge as is true with most mutual fund-type investors.
