Do any of you full-time traders NOT work out of your own home? I live in L.A., where high-speed net access options are abominable, and I'm doing ok at home with a modem. But I have plans to expand the information available to me (multiple monitors; custom programming designed to examine thousands of stocks to identify trading opportunities). So, one other trader and I are thinking about getting an office. Possible benefits: Synergy of two (or more) traders working together; Constant reminder that we're doing this for a living; Avoidance of going stir-crazy at home; Tax deductibility (though of otherwise unnecessary expenses); Economies of scale (we could afford a T1 connection, for example). Possible costs: Needless(?) expense of office; We might annoy each other. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
