Proprietary Trading Firms

I had a question from a subscriber last weekend regarding my thoughts on learning to trade through a proprietary trading firm. To be honest, I haven't had a lot of personal experience with these organizations.

Rather than share my opinion which is based on minimal evidence, I thought I could provide some links to blog entries by Dr Brett Steenbarger (http://www.traderfeed.blogspot.com/) in which he has discussed this topic at various times over the last couple of years. For those who are not familiar with Dr Steenbarger, he provides a great resource through his blog. I check it every day and highly encourage all traders to do the same.
