    So when a price rises or falls there are 50% buyers vs sellers?
    Check market depth, it is not 50/50 at the same prices.

    That completely discounts the fact that he is the second highest hedgefund earner (in dollar terms) in history (only behind bridge water which had like 10x the assets).

    Trade from the first floor! You never know when you might feel the need to jump out that window.

  8. 1. Never take a laxative just before the market opens.

    2. Never take Viagra just before the market opens.

    Never take Viagra and a laxative together. You won't
    know if you're coming or going.

  9. Multiple streams of income.
    Wasn't even a thought back in the late 90's and 00's when trading was a monthly printing press.
    But now thanks to HFT and the complete evaporation of liquidity and volatility, traders who diversified into alternative income opportunities are still doing fine while so many others are burning through their cash just to pay bills.
