    What a moron this guy is. A PhD is a noteworthy achievement but to expect it to open the gate to success in trading is down right retarded. I'm going to school for an MBA for the sole reason of having something to fall back on incase I can't cut it day trading. Look forward to having some oppurtunities pop up after you get your degree from Devry or wherever, but I wouldn't recommend telling anyone around here that college degrees make you trade better.

    lol please run a histogram of daily S&P returns. It's very close to a standard normal.
