Re: First Post, New Trader, Help Wanted!

Phoenix,

Fair questions. Let me elaborate a little on my situation.

1) I don't currently trade anything. Recent college grad, discovered a passion for finance soon after graduating college (management degree) and switched into that career path. Took a job as:

2) A trading liaison/salesman on a small bond trading desk. I help the trader with a lot of the mundane details, but have no say, input, or insight into the positions the trader takes. I've only been in the business about 6 months now - long enough to get my Series 7/63 and step more into a salesman role. Still young (24), and still trying to learn everything I can, and the equities market is something that really appeals to me for whatever reason. Trading seems to be a natural progression into learning more about how markets act - and as a result help me in my current job (the bond market and equity market appear to behave very similarly in most situations) and also allow me pursue a growing interest.

Hope that clarifies things a little...
