Monty, I thought independent trading houses would be the highest in terms of compensation, especially with the Dodd-Frank coming into the picture, regulating BB and/or swap dealers, glad to hear your thoughts.

Anways, at this point, compensation is the least of my concerns, I am just interested in learning the craft with the goal of establishing myself a trader one day. How likely is it for Houston firms to hire grads from Canada?
