    Copper Bull Move

    Kudos to you, Ken, for having the cajones to stay with it for the long term. I bought QC at 1.78 but took my meager profit long ago at around 2.00. Do you often use futures as a long term vehicle and just roll them before delivery? In theory, it makes sense but I don't seem to have the...

    Spelling and Trading

    Good point......similar to someone who mumbles out of laziness, but the listener has to work hard to comprehend. Poor writing and speaking (when the person can do better) is inconsiderate and under certain circumstances, dangerous. Stosh

    I knew I would be setting someone up for such a response.....you're welcome (as opposed to your welcome). By the way, anyone else notice how often people on TV pronounce et cetera (etc.) as ek cetera? Stosh

    Day trading on the side

    Your post reminds me of advice someone told me when I was young: "You have the potential to do almost anything you want to do in life, but not everything you want to do." I didn't listen and became a renaissance man (jack-of-all trades and master of none). Best wishes in dealing with your...

    What kind of specific education background would lead to a career as a quant trader?

    And don't forget the importance of a good grounding in astronomy. The moon and stars have a lot to do with cycles on the earth. Also learning to compose music and play tennis are helpful. Stosh

    I know this doesn't answer your specific question, but for what it is worth: If I wanted to be successful in the world of finance and trading, after taking all the basic courses, I would learn all I could about economics, international economics, world affairs, geography, finance, politics...
