I can not believe you guys are actually arguing with this clown and letting him bother you. He admits he's never worked for anything in his life that mommy and daddy take care of him. He wants to be a professor in finance, THAT'S IT. He'll do research and make an impressive salary that might get him laid by a fat college girl. Seriously people stop wasting your time with this BS. People like this start as cowards and end as cowards. Do not let him bother you. Your time is much more valuable than this. I hope. PS what is an investopedia account?
http://www.investopedia.com/. I hear only PhDs get their accounts approved. I hope WallStGolfer31 stays, he is very entertaining. Hope he isn't a troll, that would kill a lot of the humor.
People always fear/hate what they don't understand, probably because you're (notice not your) an idiot.
You will not learn anything useful in "business school"... That will make you a successful trader. You would be MUCH better off... Spending one year playing poker against strong players in Vegas. In fact... The sort of person that would chose "business school"... Over obsessive playing of various Zero Sum Games... Does not have what it takes... But will make a fine Cog in some Corporate Wasteland.
Mod, this thread belongs in Religion and Politics as it looks to me Wall St has found his religion, though given the lack of anything more than his assertion to back it up perhaps Chit Chat would be a better place for it along with the other "interesting" theories the weird and wonderful bring to ET.
WSGoofy sounds very bitter. Let me guess: You tried trading, but some damn, uneducated traders took all your money? Sorry Sonny, that's the breaks...but I'm not giving it back to you! And I think you have the salary range off a little. Maybe in 10 years IF you manage to get tenure, you'll get $95K. But a whiny little snot like you will need to kiss a lot of ass, or sleep with the Dept Head's fat wife to make tenure. Good luck.
you need to simplify... break it down to its absolute BASICS..then do the math. assume this...50/50 chance of winning... 3:1 risk reward ratio therefore if you are wrong 50% of the time (like i am...i actually i am wrong 58% of the time), but you have 3 time the average gain as loss on MOSt trades, then you are in the black. there that is all you need to prove you wrong. but it isnt a matter of match it is a matter of discipline, just like anything else. "make things as simple as possible...but not more than that"-einstein. so leave your Diffy-q (diferental equations) at home and you may be much better off at the whole market game.
