    Higher education is necessary so you don't get fooled by these rocket science BS. Hire a few Ph.D. is more like window dressing, but the street is moving toward to hire fresh attractive looking young lady these days.

  2. well, the pay will be reward enough,

    this board does have a very competitive streak,

    that's the nature of traders,

    its required to be jealous of others successes, that's why we challenge those brave enough to post their P&L on the most read threads on these boards...

    either way,

    make the employer glad he chose you, over the others interviewed.....

    let us know how things turn out.....

    pm me too

    Made killing today, I shorted dollar and long gold.

    Just read what O8 said in G20:

    1) We American would like to make some thing your people want (Right now we only produce debt AAA,AA,A,BB+,BB, MBS, CDO...)

    2) We don't like trade barriers.

    How can he do that without devalue the dollar.

    I think major banks around the world are building a basket of currencies + gold.

    GS is in charge of defending US business (prevent oversea companies from taking over US ones) by pumping up the stock prices.

    Just learned the entire AutoTrader6Ex team was dismissed by our competitor. I feel very sorry for that.

    So how to make money out of this.

    1) They will start to shop at WMT.
    2) They will look for interviews, will buy new suits at MW.
    3) They could not find a job, then they will have to take classes at CECO.
    4) Only job they could find is government sponsored construction work with CAT using CMI engines.


    Any other symbols to this list?

    WMT,MW,CECO,CAT,CMI???
