    Alfonso,

    I think he does, judging from the questions he's asked me before this exercise even began, and ideas about possible new trading techniques he's come up with recently. However, only time will tell.

    They say that kids rarely do what their parents tell them to do, but almost always do what they see their parents doing. Not necessarily the same profession, but how they face life and what kinds of decisions they routinely make. He knows that we want him, and his sister, to have enough skills to make a living by the time they graduate highscool, and he does agree that that's a good idea and that trading is a good candidate.

    At a minimum, he saw that trading is a serious business that takes a whole lot of education and preparation, and also that it is very challenging. In that respect, I think I he's understood my point, that making a living is no trivial matter.
