Why Wall Street Traders Are On The Decline

Buying and selling stocks or bonds used to happen on the phone, in person, or in the packed trading pits in Chicago, New York and London. Prestigious investment banks boasted of trading desks the size of football-fields. Now, they’re losing money on trading operations and laying off scores of traders.
The number of trading, sales and research jobs at the Top 12 banks in the United States have dropped precipitously in the last nine years. In 2010, those big banks employed about 21,000 people who worked in equities - or stocks - and 27,800 people who worked with fixed income, or bonds, according to research firm Coalition.
By the third quarter of 2019, those banks employed about 16,000 people in each category, a drop of about 5,400 jobs in equities and nearly 11,600 in bonds.
The shift to electronic trading and passive investing are big culprits behind the trend. Now more and more big Wall Street names are finding it harder and harder to make money from trading. The rise of passive investing and algorithmic trading are squeezing profits in the trading business to razor thin margins. So what’s happening to Wall Street’s once prestigious trading profession?
CORRECTION (February 20, 2020): At 2:55, David Weisberger’s former role at the New York Stock Exchange was mischaracterized. He worked on trading automation on the NYSE floor.

Why Wall Street Traders Are On The Decline

Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $560K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategie;s ... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

[@JanineJ.Cromwell]

For the average individual, the tactics are rather demanding. Actually, most of them are effectively completed by professionals who possess the necessary knowledge and skill sets to carry out such trades.

[@JimmyA.Alvarez]

I admit that before the pandemic got really serious, I handled all of my investments and was fairly good at it. However, after the pandemic, my portfolio was consistently in the red with a profit rate at its lowest. At that point, I contacted a coach I saw mentioned on Businessweek, and he reorganized my portfolio; in the last few months, I've made over $850k from my initial $210K.

[@JimmyA.Alvarez]

A downtrend offers an equally high-yielding avenue if you have the necessary skills and knowledge. This is why I've been using an investment advisor to scale up during this difficult time, and it's the only way I've been able to raise up to $150K in the last six months. It all comes down to technique. The downtrend gives you room to focus on the market and grow-substantially whether in the long or short run.

[@DeannaMurray-zv]

I've wanted to start investing for a few months, but just haven't had the courage to start because the market has been down for most of last year. Please how can I reach out to your financial advisor and what are their services like?

You also need to separate broking and trading. In derivatives, trading involves structuring, you need to define a strategy for a client. These are specialist roles requiring strong mathematical ability. Brokerage, on the other hand, requires no specific skill-set, picking up the phone adds no value. It's a dying breed. Hence the growth of electronic trading directly from exchanges....

The stock market itself is in big trouble. It's no longer based on actual value of a company, it's based on consumer sentiment in a business. This means the value can drop to worthless in an instant. This is why the government is obligated to bail out the markets. The government is scared that if one company crashes it will cause a cascade effect on the whole market. If you were smart you would invest in something of pure value like gold or land.

William Vangorden Good observation. There is a subconscious implication with the hype of traders using algos now that they are all succeeding. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Many quant funds are underperforming and failing, but I don’t think people are actively searching for this. Notice this news piece didn’t actually give any metrics to the overall success of quant funds or claim they were successful. Only that they are transitioning to algo trading.

Eliminating the human elemental costs through computerized algorithmic trading, ETFs, index funds, etc creates better value for the individual investor? Maybe in the short run.
