  2. haha, thats funny. I don't see why telling someone you're a trader would be problematic, especially with all the given benefits. Of course that’s assuming you are successful.

    If it is a problem, I’d try “short-term investor”, “market maker” or “portfolio manager”. The thing is if the girl understands finance, she’ll know you’re probably a trader (unless you tell her you’re working at Merrill or Lehman) and if she’s not into finance, it probably won’t matter what you do, just as long as you’re making money…sad but true.

  9. Trading and Dating have the same rules...

    Do you want the Pamela Andersons, the 10s and 11s that every other males wants?
    (hot stocks of the moment)


    Or go for the Above Average to almost hottie with right clothes and cosmetics
    (strong performers that the crowd is bored with)

    It's a lot of fun telling your buddies the hottie you're dating even though the fuu fuu may not be as frequent as you'd like and the drama seems 24/7
    (cut your losses)

    Turns out that 6 or 7 you passed up has a tight bod under the loose-fitting clothes she seems to roll out of bed in and now that you notice, she has pretty and lively eyes. And in the sack, she is ALL woman.
    (That stock you purchased a while back is not so boring after all)
