    You gotta admit the people who have jobs can´t run the business(or trade).

    Dumb thread.

  3. Jesus Christ! A person jacks-in their job to trade, they make a living doing what they enjoy, and then some fucking jerk-off tells them that they don't have a life.

    Garcia! You are such a negative and depressing fuck!

    Get a life!

  4. Socrates, the immortal, watches from his tree stump up on mount parnassus, stroking his chicken, among the gods, and chuckles to himself "they're still at it after all these centuries!"

  5. ", stroking his chicken,"?

    :D

    Well, Socrates the immortal must be really frustrated. I just hope he's not "stroking his chicken", over underage girls!!!

  6. You're thinking of the great masturbator Diogenes, who would alarm the passers by in Athens. Socrates had a single regret on his deathbed, that he still owed a friend a chicken, hence the allusion. I thought it would be nice to reunite them in the eternal sphere: Socrates and his bird.

  7. Oh yeah, if only I could hold a normal corporate job filling out TPS reports and kissing ass all day, I'd have the privilege of earning less than 5% of my current income from prop trading.

    That would be such a fantastic improvement over my current situation, but sadly I'm just a reject who can't land a real job at a real firm.

    I guess I don't have a life spending the money I make from daytrading. The financial and personal freedom really suck. I think I'll go back to my old software job, answer to the man and get a life.
