<t>HiTwo questions: (i) what is a good paper on these, not so much on the modelling side, more on the use and hedging of them (to get started) and(ii) what is the probability of being knocked out, or is there an expression for the % of options that would be knocked out if one did an massive number o...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: almosteverywhereGRE-Q (general): Get as close to 800 as you can. About 8% of test-takers get 800 because the math is trivial, and if you can get into math grad school, you should have no trouble with the test.That's a funny distribution - 8% in the top 1%. I wonder if y...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: marc1838I was wondering if someone might be able to help me out. I just graduated from a first tier MBA program and will be starting off as an Associates on a FI Sales desk for a bank in NYC.

<t>quantumar's hypothetical percentages are eerily accurate - from what I've heard, most long/short funds were around 70-80% long going into May, and that is why they lost money. That was an eye-opener for me, as I just assumed that they would always be 50/50, at least through index hedges where the...

<t>QuoteI disagree to a certain extent. I think it helps (*a lot*) if you show you desperately want the job.I disagree with your disagreement. People who are too keen give off a very bad signal. For example, we were always told that anyonew who said "I love trading so much I'd do it for free!" is ei...

Fixed income, 75% directional, 25% RV,

<t>Thanks all for the advice. I think you are right. I just hate suits and look awful in them (probably from lack of practice in wearing them). And so, I will wear a suit, and be uncomfortable, and probably screw up the interview. I went for a job at Morgan Stanley once dressed like a roadie (I'm no...

<t>Do you have a concrete offer of a role in treasury trading at a major bank? Grab it with both hands, you will become rich. How rich is up to you, and to how the market evolves. It's a common myth that market-making is dying, that products are commoditised, that spreads are too narrow, and all tha...

Thank you. Also, your blog is very interesting.

Does anyone know if that shop is still casual? And, in any event, is a suit de rigueur for any interview these days in banks? It is for a trading job. Thanks.

Thank you! I didn't know there was a profile page 2. Sorted.

Sorry...can't read up, can't figure out how to make the threads read down.
