Search for Jane Street on Google and there are dozens of reviews from the past couple weeks talking about how jane street lost their shirts recently, and have resorted to manipulating penny stocks to get their footing back. Anyone know if there is any validity to this? Is this just a bunch of sore losers who got burnt on penny stocks and somehow identified Jane Street as the cause, so they brigaded their google reviews? I know google reviews are an absurd place to look for information on a trading firm, but I saw the rating was close to 1 star, and had to see why. I am planning to interview there in the next few months, so this is troubling news if there is any truth to it. TC: 300k #janestreetcapital #janestreet EDIT to add: Looking around reddit, it seems this is a bunch of penny stock traders up in arms, similar to the wall street bets folks attacking citadel. Probably nothing material, but I'm leaving this post up in case anyone has more information, particularly from within Jane Street.
Look at reviews on Blind, not Google reviews which are for tourist destinations and local stores.
I know, the 1* rating just caught my eye and that is why I looked. I erred on the side of assuming it's a bunch of BS.
Look at reviews on Blind where most ratings are based on the TC given by them. Lame argument, even though Google reviews is not the best signal for a place like JS.
JS along with other prop trading & quant funds are making an absolute killing in these markets
they made more profit than Citadel last year despite being 4x smaller edit: and Citadel had a record year themselves
Wrong 100%, you can check # of employee for C and JS, no way that JS is 4x smaller
Probably counting citadel, not citsec
Look at their 13f from last year, their AUM grew by 100-150% last year
How can I invest in Jane Street ?
If you were the kind of person that could invest in JS, you wouldn't need to ask how to invest in JS
Don't expect anyone from Jane Street to actually comment on this topic. Are you nuts?!
🔥
Humfrey says they just lost their shirt I guess
Why would Google Reviews tell you anything about how a private finance company is doing? Check their Yelp rating while you’re at it.
Ok, smartass. I already clarified that the 1* caught my eye and I looked. I didn't go seeking google reviews. And when I expanded it, I saw dozens of people telling the same story. I also mentioned that I figured it was BS, but considering I am going to interview there, I had to do my due diligence. Prick.
Just curious, what % gains do they make in a year on average?
And can the employees invest?
Jane Street market makes for bond ETFs, not penny stocks lol
They also do equities.
That has nothing to do with anything.
It’s true. I can’t tell you why or how. A lot of hedge funds are going to go under soon.
GME! GME! GME!
What’s “soon“ for you?
They're doing great
