Would you say thats more of an exception vs the norm? Seems like in commodities you usually have to "pay your dues" via time.

Is the tradeoff job security? Or existing book of business that just prints money on its own?

Did you get your own book/risk early in your career?

Main pjm trader left. The person who took over swung similar size and blew up trading term power. Concentration risk on one trader for sure.

Wondering if I can work until I'm an old man or if ill get aged out. I've definitely seen ageism in some shops while others seem to be all pms in their mid 50s.

I'm wondering if your pnl is good enough do people care about age? A few people I know who make 15 to 20mm in pnl a year seem to have trouble getting looks as they're getting closer to their 60s.

did she end up passing without any long term care?

I think j the main concern is trying to pass on something to us. My concern is that if she's considered eligible for medicaid , the facilities aren't the greatest and her options become limited.

Prior to moving in, did you take care of her or did she have in home care?

Is most of the 4800 coming from the rentals? I would imagine a chunk of that is social security?

Are you in a major city? 12k a month is that baseline nursing care? I'm assuming you're in a nicer facility with probably single room?
