Excellent. You don't need to waste any more time dealing with someone like that. Saves you a lot of time.
You are very correct, a bad woman can wreck your life. I still have the scars on my face from when the drunk #$%%^ hit me. She also ran up her credit cards several times which were bailed out by me. Coverd her financially while she was attending school. Cheated on me, which I caught her. I had the phones lines of the house tapped. During the divorce proceeedings she manged to get more of my money because I just wanted her to get the *&^ out. Money, money and more money thats all a man has to concerned about. If you need a woman that badly, just make an appointment at the Mustang Ranch. I have to say it is a really nice place. The art work is world class. Also people who say independent traders are unemployed probably enjoy being treaed like corperate cattle ready for the 401lk slaughter, "mark my words". Traders probably do more work than an office wage monkey who stands around the damn water cooler talking about last night prime time television. Socially I dont' give a (*&^. Most people would not have a clue as to what occurs during a trading day. The nomenclature is foriegn to them. Akuma
I like the phrase "Independently wealthy." It has a positive ring and it's kind of true. You make your money independently of an employer, and it is technically wealth, even if it is small like $2500/month income. It's true that trading can be an ego thing. If a trader is proud of his success and thinks it means he's smarter than the average bear, he'll tout it as something cool. But the person he's trying to impress will not see it the same way. If you make money, you make money. Who cares how?
Not necessarily true. Much depends on ability. Many assume that risk cannot be minimized, well it can, almost to close to neutral by maintaining both bullish and bearish positions, while capturing the magnitude of upside and downside potential.
If someone ask why not say "Asset Manager" or "Hedgefund Manager" as what we do is basically running a private incubator sized hedgefund. We are small but we are growing and expanding the business rapidly.
LTCM was right you know in the end. They were just over leveraged and got caught in a once in a generation event. They could not get liquid fast enuf.
Ah, so it's become "once in a generation" now? That's an improvement on once in 10 000 years In fact these things happen every 5-10 years.. After the first blowup, who exactly gave JM more $ to trade?
