I've probably posted too much already as their rates are not published. Anyone interested PM me for details.
Nitro, I know these guys well. I was actually the guy that referred VP to those guys. Our firm and his firm work together on a lot of stuff. And if you weren't busy tonight, you could actually meet them tonight at the Motel Bar. Rest assured, these guys are for real.
Yup, I know. Again with the new math and superior intellect which allows these geniuses to buy the offer and sell the bid with alacrity and unheard-of edge. The kid with the v-neck just traded a box at $40k in edge... telekinetically!
Actually these guys are the real deal. You should see their shop, it's pretty over the top. They make Nitro look like he has never seen a computer before. LOL. And the guy that runs it is the biggest overachiever I have ever met in my life.
