    :D:D LOL. Maybe true\ but what if T321 asked an honest question??
    NO need to confuse anyone with a time frame.
    Business can be a good answer:caution::caution:IF you like the person asking the question, you could tell him my banker dad said ''dont tell everything you know'':D:D
    IF you value your trading notebook ; you could throw them off track with ''computers''

    when you read his other posts, you will see that he really doesn't believe in travelling or education.

    but it's all 'bout the bling bling baby... like those ghetto thugs that he hates.

  4. Traveling is a vastly overrated experience, in my experience.
    Whether you go to San Francisco, Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, NYC, Tokyo, Hawaii, Australia, Phillippines, Ireland, Canada.....it's all....literally....f'n the same.
    All places....have airports, hotels, roads, streets, shops, cafes, Starbucks, McDonald's, nature sights, and people on their cellphones everywhere.
    Nothing but stress, stress...and expenses, and expenses.
    I'm So relieved to be back Home.

    A stuffy education is only important if you plan on climbing the corporate, brown nosing, butt kissing, backstabbing, political workplace environment.

    A classy watch is anything, but ghetto. If I talked about a fully Iced out Diamond Rolex....now that is black tacky.
    I'm not an angry person or weird person or moody person. I just call reality for what it is.

    Professional gambler... just kidding. Tell them you are self-employed in Finance. Start talking about the minutiae of options until their eyes glaze over and then you can change the subject.

    Even more appropriate in these days and times:-

    “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.

    Nowadays you don't need to travel far to experience what Mark Twain wrote, the democrats will import all those third world cultures somewhere close to where you live.
