Hello,

I recently graduated from UConn in May 2011 with a BA in economics. I started going for my MS in Mathematics at Fairfield University this past spring. However, I'm looking to start a career in trading immediately. I was thinking about perhaps trying the prop shops. I do not have trading experience and would like to work for a firm that's willing to invest in an ambitious young person's education. I hear that Jane Street is the best, I'm not sure what other great companies are in the NYC area. The most important thing to me would be the education as I am raw talent and really want to learn how to do things the right way.

Brazil's economic activity index fell 0.35% in March and rose just 0.91% Y/Y, well below expectations for a 2.4% gain. The news prompted yields on interest rate futures contracts to fall to record lows as traders place bets on more policy ease from the central bank. The Bovespa outperforms today, 1.5%.

Hi All,

Has anyone traded in China or know anything regarding the regulations around trading in China. My reason for asking is that there is a possibility that my wife will get a work contract in China for a few years. That would mean we would be living there but not as citizens.

Would I be able to trade full time for myself? This may sound like a stupid question but I have no idea how things work in China since they apparently have some very tight regulations around things. Especially since I wouldn't be a Chinese citizen, I would just be there for a few years while my wife works a 'regular job'.

Many thanks.

We have downgraded our recommendation on Pepco Holding Inc. (POM) to Neutral from Outperform, as we felt the delay in the service date of Mid-Atlantic Power Pathway (MAPP) transmission project will impact the company’s earnings.

Pepco Holding has gradually transformed itself into a regulated utility by divesting its unregulated businesses. It has a stable customer base, spread across commercial, residential and government customers. Besides, the company is also making investment on infrastructure to develop its transmission systems and provide better services to its consumers.

However, like other regulated utility companies, Pepco is also subject to regulation by various federal, state and local regulatory agencies, which could significantly impact operations. Inconsistent weather patterns have of late impacted the Power Delivery and retail energy supply businesses to a great extent.

В центре внимания валютных рынков по-прежнему находится вопрос о членстве Греции в еврозоне. Единая европейская валюта сдала часть позиций против доллара США после того, как канцлер Германии Меркель сделала президенту Греции предложение о том, чтобы в стране прошел референдум относительно членства Греции в валютном блоке. Евро быстро упал до минимума 1,2715 доллара, но все еще торгуется выше сессионного минимума 1,2642. В этот день члены Еврокомиссии, как сообщается, рассмотрят сценарии возможного выхода Греции из еврозоны.

Apple (AAPL) is currently one of the most actively traded stocks. For the trader who trades only stock there are two major difficulties in executing trades in this one: 1. It is breathtakingly expensive. 2. It exhibits periods of neck snapping volatility exposing the trader to substantial losses if he or she gauges the direction wrong and does not act quickly. For the investor who is willing to learn an option-based approach both these problems can be easily dealt with by using structured option trades to control risk crisply and make efficient use of capital.

GM is in the process of evaluating all its media properties in an effort to maximize the efficiency of its ad budget, but the automaker says it isn't cutting back; GM spent $4.47B on advertising last year. 1 comment!

Big institutions run the market. They account for more than 70% of all the trading action. They spend millions on research and countless hours to determine which stocks to buy...something the little guy cannot replicate.

Few investors would want to get into a stock that they knew powerful institutions were selling. And conversely, many would want to buy into a stock these powerhouses were building large positions in.

Unfortunately these pros go to great lengths to cover their tracks. Gladly, they do leave a small trail of bread crumbs for us to follow. If you know where to look.

In this article I will share with you specifics on how to interpret and, better yet, profit from this trail of information that the smart money leaves behind. Let's get started.

Во второй половине дня 18 мая российский рынок отыграл утреннее падение. Индекс ММВБ теряет всего 0,2%, достигнув 1285 пунктов.
