    A rather prophetic statement coming from a guy who has blown up and been banned from ET as many times as you have.

    A middle-aged male who has worked both in the white and blue collar worlds and knows them well. He's literate in the market and his speech. He's been screwed enough times to know when it's happening; by the private sector and government. He's an independent thinker and always lives below his means. He typically is married to a great woman who understands him and loves him anyway.

  5. The author doesn't qualify the type of women.

    Asian women?

    White women?

    Hispanic women?

    Black women?

    There are other variables to consider also in addition to race.

    I have seen profitable Asian women traders on Wall St. including at a prop lite firm.

    This is complete nonsense. I've been trading for more than 20 years and while I haven't been in the + column every year I've made a darn good living trading. I've made much more money than I ever would have made "working for the man."

    But here's the short answer-----scared money don't make no money.
