A combination of a 200 IQ, 1600 on the SAT, a ring finger that is 2x longer than the index finger, MIT PhD in quantitative astrofinance, alpha male, a bodybuilding physique w/ ability to bench 500, twenty eight LCD monitors, and a super rainman level asperger syndrome... or an insane bull market ?
It doesn't matter, as the former won't necessarily be a good trader, and the latter may lose it after the inevitable correction.
Bull Market. Markets don't measure reality, they measure people's perception of reality. Being "smart" in a sea of morons is problematic.
yeah seriously. Prices go up and they go down, its not rocket science, not even advanced algebra. Being smart past a certain point really doesnt help IMO. And I blew my first account up a few weeks after scoring a 1560
