    if you are making good money why not just say you are indeed a daytrader and proud of it?

    that's funny and good thinking..
    especially if they asked .. of what company are you ceo ..and you tell them that all information is classified for proprietary reasons.

    would really send their minds spinning..

    personally I just tell them I am a trader..but I don't get asked that often ..my question is how much do you make?

  6. Big Swinger Of Money.

    honestly, i just tell them "Finance".. their eyes gloss over (the ones who can't balance their checkbook) and the ones who know just nod.

    You'll find that in NYC a lot. Almost every golddigger starts the conversation out with "so what do you do?"

    If you say "trader" their eyes light up and they will try to wring you for every cent you got.

    If you say "finance" their eyes gloss over. It's pretty cool to watch! And, you save a lot of money.
