Yawn.... If they are really investors, why would they tell you what they are looking for? Not as if I am a big believer in EMH, but, it is not as if I would tell you what I look for either. Play money, play time, come on buddy. Leave the marketocracy stuff at home and put some chips on the table. Take all the risk you want, make all the journal posts you want, and feel good about yourself. Keep dancing, except you will be the only one without a chair when the music stops. Isn't part of your name derivtrader? If so, what are you mucking around with marketocracy for? Step up to the plate and start trading some options and futures. Or, you can just keep up this self-aggrandizing BS, and go to sleep with a smile on your face every night. Yeah, I impressed those guys with my papertrading today, just wait till I do it with real money! Just wait...
