Traders Education

  1. what? no way man. how can u even say that! education is the most important. i doubt there's anyone here consistently making money without a college education. and, most likely, the better the school the better the trader. most likely you're just selling dreams to the dropouts..

    You have got to be kidding! I did not go to college and I have a 175 IQ. I have run a pile of successful businesses and retired at 45. College? Bah Humbug!
    Must admit though, I am a voracious reader.

    Seriously...

    Dropped out of High School...

    Took GED...

    Dropped out 2nd year of Community College...

    I'm a living proof that school and education has nothing to do with trading success.

    That's good to know.

    BTW - were you really W.D. Gann, or just pretending to be him?

    Don't you have to have a brokerage account to be a trader? From what I've read, that's the most important thing.

    Since you asked:

    BSc in Physics, MSc in Computer Science, MSc in Physics, PhD in Physics, and MBA - Portfolio Management.

    What difference does it make? :)

  10. That's why I said, you have to read everything to get the education to be a successful trader. I've found that guys that come from top colleges tend to over complicate the trading process and have harder times.
