    If you go to the grocery store frequently enough, then you'll find a day when they have milk that is close to the use-by date.

    It should be available at a discounted price. Alternatively you could barter with the store manager for a discount in that situation.

    Bread should be heavily discounted toward the end of each day.

  2. Go into any wealthy neighborhood-- ask the homeowners what they do for a living--- 98 out of a hundred will not say trader.

    ever wonder why?

    Because the number of traders is much smaller compared to the number of doctors, business owners and blood sucking lawyers out there.

  4. Good point, Neo.

    However, e*trade, ameritrade, IB, etc are all paying for those fancy offices and marketing somehow....

  10. It is interesting that the image of "Traders" is far more success than the truth of not making money or little money.

    At Schonfeld, less than 5% of the traders, firm wide, made Million plus. Most washed or made under 50k. I was lucky to be in the room with Rearden, who was in the 5%.

    I find that my small firm, guys that hustle the Private Equity World, are making far more than 95% of the traders I knew.
    7 figuers a year can be the norm if you'r with a solid firm and learn the game. It does not happen a overnight but give your self two years in the game as a survivor, its 7 pretax easy.
