October 30th, 2020 04:42 PM #2182Methinks that they are not really skilled traders but influential enough to step inside the old boys club.

i think ang "trader" para kay Walter ung may trading account sa broker
ung nasa bahay lang buying and selling stocks, forex, etc
ung sinasabi ni Cathy traders who work for financial institutions
financial institutions have proprietary trading desks (called prop trading in the industry)
Prop traders use the firm's capital
Those guys are the equivalent of varsity team coz since they use the bank's money they better be good at what they do

October 30th, 2020 06:26 PM #2185Their coming from prominent families means connections right? I remember a poster at the defunct financemanila forum whose name sounds like a cigarette who is always sending cryptic posts about stocks that are about to be multi baggers. This guy I came to learn because of FB, is cream of the crop persona.

Cathy is talking about getting hired by foreign banks to be traders
GS, JPM, BNP Paribas, Santander, etc

"trader"
a guy who opens a retail trading account at an online broker... using his own money... trading at home in his pajamas
Cathy, i think yan ang pagkaintindi nila sa "trader"Last edited by uls; October 30th, 2020 at 07:22 PM.

October 30th, 2020 09:20 PM #2188Not talking about retail traders ... yeah, investment bankers used to make a lot of money but that's not how it is now ... real traders work with hedge funds or trade independently where they have skin in the game ... the rejects are the ones left with the bank since they have nowhere else to go ... people who really know how to trade don't work in banks anymore ...
Then again ... don't take my word for it ... what do I know? ...Last edited by Walter; October 30th, 2020 at 09:33 PM.

Investment bankers are salesmen who push investment products to high net worth clients

October 31st, 2020 10:47 PM #2196I think there were about 9 James Bond actors (not sure if we can count Christopher Cazenove who in 1973 was in a review show called British Hero), otherwise, they were just 8, although only 6 was considered official

November 1st, 2020 12:58 AM #2198Q introduces Bond to his Aston Martin DB5 in Goldfinger:
Q: "Now this one I'm particularly keen about. You see the gear lever here? Now, if you take the top off, you will find a little red button. Whatever you do, don't touch it."
James Bond: "Yeah, why not?"
Q: "Because you'll release this section of the roof, and engage and then fire the passenger ejector seat. Whish!"
James Bond: "Ejector seat? You're joking!"
Q: "I never joke about my work, 007."

back in the 60s, 007 was so popular, toymen even crafted de-perminante plastic guns, using "007" as a frame.Last edited by dr. d; November 1st, 2020 at 09:04 AM.
