Hi,

This is me:

Computer Engineer/ India/ 1 year exp. S/w Test Programming in Software services company

Great programmer and good at math

MBA/ India/ 2 years exp. Qualitative Financial Analysis in Financial Services Company (with gud pay by Indian standards)

Age 28

Interested in getting into Sales & Trading/ Hedge Funds in US/ UK - do not want to be just some programmer in the back office in a hedge fund though

Motivation: Want to make money in $

Should I go for a US masters at all (course starting in 2011) (meaning of course another student loan)?

If yes would u advise MFE (1 year) or MBA (2 years) or anything at all?

feel free to say whtevr comes to mind...incl that I'm a greedy hog

You are a greedy hog. Why not enjoy your above standard life in India, buy a Tata Nano, get a wife, have a child?
On a more serious note, you don't want to do another MBA if you already have one. MFE takes 1.5-2 years for most programs. And it takes a few years to pay off your loan.
What exactly do you want to do? Programmers are paid very well here.

Well....I thought since I will be working for the rest of my life.......(that sounds pretty saaaaaaad......even to me ......... I should go back to school and also make sure it counts big time in terms of $$$$$$

but seriously.....< deep self introspection in process. this might take several days to throw a result>
