Shame on you Bernard Madoff!

My world now consists of looking for and hiring traders. Outside of my office door is where our traders reside at Kershner Trading - all 150~ of them as of today. It's a world filled with lots of computer monitors and CNBC blaring from opening to closing bell

Today there is a sad hush on the trading floor as the news reports are only focused on one man. Bernard Madoff. A man who has lost millions of dollars for people who trusted that he was investing properly for him.

Bernard Madoff By The Numbers

This article is simply today's story which reminds us all that there are some very bad people in the world. Sad. Very sad.

Why It’s Worth Sticking with Twitter

I found this fascinating quote today:

I’m sure there are business benefits of being on Twitter and you’ll find plenty of articles on the web as to why, and how.  But for me the real benefit of sticking with Twitter is the people you get to know from spending time there.Why It’s Worth Sticking with Twitter, Feb 2009

You should read the whole article.

And I wholeheartedly agree and applaud Joanna for such a great way of describing Twitter and giving first time or beginning users of Twitter a few more reasons to get on and get going with this microblogging phenomena.

Times they are a changing

Wow. I've been amazed of late by videos that show me how far we've come in our technology. There are powerful statements here.

Love my new job!

Okay, so it's not so new anymore. I've been with Kershner Trading here in Austin since Dec. 1. But I'm still enamoured.

One of the cool benefits is that they cater in lunch everyday. It's not free, but pretty close to it. We pay monthly to partake in the yumminess.

Today's lunch was too good not to tell you about. We had: Pecan Crusted Chicken with Caramelized Onion and Sweet Potato Sauce, served with Roasted Garlic Smashed Red Potatoes and Dill Glazed Carrots.

Wow!

Know someone looking for a job that can appreciate a fun benefit like catered in lunch? Have them reach out to me - khaynes(at)kershnertrading(dot)com.

I'm currently sourcing for a Sr. Accountant, an HR Generalist, an HR Intern, a Technical Support position and both inexperienced and experienced traders.
