If you want to get a cfa, that is a totally different track unless you plan on making a career change in the future. "financial advising" is by and large not what it is cracked up to be. A better idea might be to get with a company that has a good in house managed funds dept. Like maybe...

thread, is it not obvious that a huge horde of the retail trading crowd want to lose money?? THese chat room gurus just take advantage of that fact. U have to choose to be an idiot to be duped like that over and over again.

this chat room follow the guru sh*t is for LOSERS ONLY. Entirely against the whole ethic of what it takes to be successful. Some people want hope no matter how delusional, Some want to follow, and sometimes it seems that some people even want to be scammed. Chat room and all that is...

"one should allocate more capital to very good opportunities than to more marginal opportunities." yes this is a nice assumption. Can this situation be identified at the time or is this assumed as well. And how does this relate to the increased risk exposure or the risk of ruin, as...
