  1. thanks. I admit that I am a beginning trader but you can't say, with validity, that I have a flaming ego.

    Respectfully,

  2. I'm sorry, what did your manager say about you again? I think I missed the fifth time you stated it.

  6. if you truly believe what you said, then i can say with validity that you are pathalogically unaware of your true motivations. ...and this is death to a trader.

  7. I don't believe I can successfully complete my degree at Oxford without four qualities you listed above. Wall Street Firms likely realize what it takes to be successful at a school such as Oxford and I would imagine that some would conclude that if you can succeed there, you can succeed anywhere, understandably.

  8. Thanks. I may decide to go the quant route which means I may have to program trading systems and etc...

    Maybe you should have taken the position. I'm not sure about this, but I would think that having a trading position on your resume would open more doors to other trading jobs than a degree from Oxford would. But, either way, it sounds like you're in a win-win situation. If you found a salaried trading job before your Oxford degree, wouldn't you assume you could at least find the same type of position after you got the degree? I don't really see the point of your post.

    I can say for sure this guy isn't cut out to be a trader, but he will blend in perfectly at Oxford.
