Happy 2005 all,

Do the people who make a career out of trading eventually have to move to NY or CHI?

I mean if you really want to be an actor you gotta move to L.A at some point.

Or is that analogy not applicable to trading??

I know many of you make good trades from wherever you may be in the world, but does that model really work with hundred million/billion dollar deals???

It just seems the really sucessful traders either live/work there or lived there until they could stand on their own trading legs. I'd like to know what I might be in for if I really commit to this profession.
