    I'm not smart or intelligent but can trade... that's all that matters.

  3. Actually, simple logic dictates nothing of the sort.

    But I agree, a genus would be of little use in determining the veracity of bobcathy's claim.

  4. Wow.... we have a "High Genius" among us.

    An IQ of 175 places him above:

    Charles Darwin
    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
    Nicolaus Copernicus
    (Estimated IQ scores)


    Should be a billionare in a couple of years, no? :D

    BS in Engineering and MS in Operations Research plus numerous postgraduate classes - all of which are of no value when it comes to trading.

    Only real life experience counts, the rest is nice for a resume only.

    My husband graduated college in 3 years with 2 BA's....one in physics and one in math. He has an IQ of 172.
    He does not trade, he can't sit still for that long. Matter of fact he is in construction because he does not like being confined at all.
    So having an education and an intellect does not a good trader make.

    I think it takes concentration
    attention to details
    being able to shut everything else out
    being able to shrug off losses
    have a determination to succeed
    and a wicked sense of humor.
