I have an MD, not PhD. I'm a psychiatrist, not psychologist. And I make much more money than most of the gamblers here who profess to have an edge with ZERO risk. You can keep the self-mutilating day trader (oops gambling) business and the high hat ego needed to sustain the pain. I'll keep running my riskless $300/hour tollboth on the corner of Broad and Wall prescribing Paxyl and Ativan to ex-pennystockbrokers like you turned wannabee Tudor Jones. Good luck at the tables (oops markets).
What do you net doc? $300/hour is shit on real esate like that. Hope you have some minions kicking it up to you. I don't know how anyone makes it on a $2,000/ day in the city.
Get out your calculator crapshooter. $10K/week $40K/month $440K/year (I take the month of August off) No stress, no charts, no commissions, no platforms, no fears, no CNBCno sweats and no bitching at the market, no loses and no sleepless nights.
Then - WHY ARE YOU HERE??? Your life is that pathetic that you spent your Sunday posting in a trading forum when you have no desire to trade? PS If the 'ex-pennystockbroker' comment was directed towards me, you couldn't be more off base doc. When I resigned from my firm, I had a multi-million dollar business and chose to trade b/c I wanted more freedom and money.
Most of the traders I see who are medicated say the same thing. They left good jobs for more freedom and money and they ended up with neither: they are held hostage to the markets, their indicators and their computers and make less money with ten times the aggrevation. Nice to know you're not alone stockbroker, right?
Another example of how the relative anonymity of the internet permits a McDonald's Fry cook to live out their fantasyworld delusions. You're no physician - just another sock puppet alias. I hoped you at least logged in somewhere close to NYC. You wouldn't want your IP Address to give you away now would you? - Spydertrader
