Hey guys!
So I applied for a quant job recently and have been going through the interview process. During that period I abstained from most trading activities, I didn't want anything to influence my trading or the interview either way.
Today I found out I didn't get the job! Apparently I was impressive in the first two interviews but didn't manage to carry that through into the final interview. Mostly I feel if I had been a little less tired on the day of the final interview and had a better grounding in stats I would have been more confident/impressive.
So I'll be jumping back in the saddle next week. Hope everyone's been enjoying the rally!
Oh, you think it's over already? I think this is only a very short pullback in the Qs and SPY.
Could be, we're at the bottom of that wedge on the SPX. I got a ton a sell signals on my Flipper again so i hope we don't chop around...sh** or get off the the bloody pot!

Assuming you mean bet for the spread to narrow, why?
Very interesting article for the bears out there. With reporting season underway in the U.S and the huge drops in some of these stocks I wonder who will be next.

The Fed is there to create liquidity when transactions become frozen due to fear and lack of confidence. That way normal business transacting can continue in such an environment. The fed is not there to "pump the economy when it's running too cold" unless of course it's Zimbabwe. Perhaps that's where business insider’s utopian economic principle guiding light comes from?"The Fed is supposed to pump up the economy when it’s running too cold, with unemployment high and inflation low. That’s where we are right now, in the Fed’s own estimation. Yet the most recent minutes, from March, show Fed officials unwilling to take any further action to boost the economy."
Because i assumed that the market would revert to what it normally does, which is correlate.
No interest in trading a spread...just thought it was interesting.

two markets can be highly correlated but still have the spread widen..
hmmmm....retail traders trying to nail correlative patterns and trade the spread........WAFWOT !

Hey Joules, how much does 100,000USD cost to buy in EUR?
Personally, the point I was trying to get across is that the idea shouldn't be to just bet on the spread reverting, it has its own directional risk!
Correlation between correlated instruments has other uses though as when returns are 'normal' sectors tend to de-correlate, when returns are 'fat-tailed' correlation between sectors rises rapidly.
nothin wrong with getting bias...... i like TLT v SPX spread
