is this the definitive statement about trading? I thought trading was about making markets. One carpenter says, 'carpentry is about taking people's money. I make stuff in order to get the green.' Another says, 'My heart is in the creativity and working with wood. I love what I do. Oh, and it is also how I support my family.' Same profession, two different worlds. Woe to the customers of the first guy.
Got to agree here (though i can't make any sense out of the post you quoted). Lawyers (nowadays, and in general, owing to the restrictive nature of law) are a tax on productivity. Traders enable it. Sometimes lawyers enable it, but usually that's because they offer 'protection' from the abuses of others, which increases the cost of doing business. It can be seen, I suppose, as a form of insurance.
Yeah, you'd think someone who supposedly went to law school would at least have the fundamentals of English spelling and grammar figured out.
