    Go back to college and then join your university trading team. If you do not know which university have trading rooms, teams or competitions...just review the yearly list of schools at the Rotman International Trading Competition @ https://ritc.rotman.utoronto.ca/results.asp

    I scratched? I had no other income for 6 years. That's what professional means, dummy.

    If you were a little more educated you'd know it's Latin.

    I have many friends who couldn't make it to university or college but are street smart.

    They understand the 10 years economic cycle thing.
    This is what they do every big cycle;

    towards end of recession,
    buy blue chips.
    Then hold till end of bull run and sell it.

    Towards end of next recession,
    buy blue chips & properties (including oversea properties).
    Rent out properties and collect monthly rentals.

    Towards end of bull run,
    sell blue chips and sell away some properties.

    and so on and so on.

    They hold regular jobs but pay wise, it is definitely not that great.
    Believe me, their technical and fundamental analysis are practically zero.


    What I am most impressed by them is despite their low level of education,
    they are wise enough to know when to invest in stocks and properties.
    And everytime I see them, I can see they are forever cheerful and optimistic.

    SO do you want to have high IQ or be smart & wise?

    In our lifetime, we can profit from about 4 to 6 big cycles.

    As someone with low IQ, let me translate what you just said:

    You don't need high IQ, you just need to be lucky. :D

    I suppose you think it means "genius"

    According to www.wordhippo.com, the Latin meanings of "lentus" include:
    tedious, clogging, clinging, sluggish, tardy, callous, clammy, pliable, harsh, inflexible, rigid, lazy, limp, and dilatory

    If you were a little sharper you'd know it's both Latin & French.

    btw, I took several years of each, and while I did not know the Latin definition (maybe you didn't either? LOL), anyone w/ any Latin edu knows that words w/ 'us' at the end are often/usually 1st declension masculine nouns. But maybe you don't know that Romance languages often remove the 'us' from their Latin roots ?

    Keep on digging your hole.
