Our own Handle123, who couldn't put together a grammatically correct paragraph under threat of torture, has let slip that he has the following degrees: B.S. in Business B.S. in Psychology M.B.A. M.D. (1st year) Plus autism.
Impressive but not astonishing: many autistic people are hugely well educated and the incidence of neurodivergence among college professors (who almost always have 3 degrees) is enormously higher than it is among the general population. (Their grammar and spelling often sucks, though.) What’s your point?
Klinefelter's (and many children. A first, mind you). Then denied (kids). Army vet. 8 forms of cancer (literal). Was treated in London through their NHS (a first). Was at @Xela's bedside during her chemo. Denied it when it became known the nick is a dude. Knows @Xela's dad who manages 30 yards.
trading the market is like having a great pyrenees on your property, it's does what it wants when it wants.. if it even stays on your property at all.
Autism is not really an illness. It just a psychological trait in some people. Psychological traits may impact trading. Having degrees is very respectable. People with degrees are book-smart. But trading is a different ball game. Trading has got more to do with street-smartness than book-smartness. No offense meant to anybody. These are just my observations. People who read books are book-smart. So trading books do have their limitations. This also explains why many people who are very successful in their professional endeavors fail in trading.
Expound a bit more on how it relates to street-smartness if you don't mind. That's an interesting take on it. My first time hearing it.
Trading is entrepreneurship. Take a walk in your neighborhood where you live. Look at entrepreneurs there. Check out how many of them read books to build their businesses. Now, go figure!
