    by the way golfer

    if you think that by enraging people, some successful traders will simply give you profitable strategy in order to defend their EGO

    those of us are way ahead of you bud

    tomorrow SP and nasdaq will fall,
    I am short

    and if they go up, I'll take a small loss

    do they teach that in school at all

    seriously it seems pretty simple to me

    "traders" are degenerates, and if you think I want to become a "trader" you're very mistaken.

    I will be a professor of Finance in a few years. Teaching college students a few hours a week not to turn out like the idiots on ET. The rest of the time I'll be doing research, which is the reason I did the PhD.

    Did I mention the 140k for 9 months wasn't bad either? Summers off you know ;)

    I'll be 26 a well at my graduation. But I'll be making 130k-150k.

    You might just make more than me. I'd says there's a good 50/50 chance. hahahaha
