    New trader. Is my strategy ridiculous?

    Looking in the mirror much, eh? All jokes aside, I'm simply curious in what magical industry & boom town these amazing $200K+ earnings for early to mid 20s kids exist. Especially in these times. Oh and your strategy is amateur. Limited gains + unlimited downside is a recipe for disaster.

    Who Started Trading Straight Out of College?

    Wait what? Why do you need a sidejob if you work for a hedge fund? If you actually work for a hedge fund, you would get salary and then bonus based on your performance.

    Gold Bull's are cracking me up---the SELL-OFF began today...see ya at 999

    Gold makes a down move of this proportion almost every month. WTF are you talking about? No wonder you're such a failure.

    Gold vs Silver correlation/divergence trading?

    Completely untrue. Gold/silver spread trading can be a consistent profit generator.

    Confused about metals trading and pricing

    So like, are you seeking confirmation for you bias? If you want to go long the metal, go for it. You always have the fact that commodities are one of the first assets that inflation has an effect on. That being said, you are talking about a rare metal that has limited use, contrary to what...

    Long-term jobless in Calif. tops 900,000

    Clearly you are retarded. The problem affects all industries as a whole and USA as a whole. It does not matter where the people move. It's shocking that a person can possess such mental limitations. The funny part is that the real bad times have not hit this nation yet. [B] Are you...

    Long-term jobless in Calif. tops 900,000

    I'm sorry, but did you ride the short yellow bus when you were younger? It's basic math. There are X jobs and 1.5X (obvious generalization) unemployed looking for work. For a large portion, there are no jobs. Period. Nursing was and kinda still is a field where there is hiring but it...

    Gold not moving up on China move

    You been shorting Gold all last week as it was hitting record highs and covered it at yesterday close which is above where Gold was last Mon-Wed. Yeah, quite some trader sense there. Here comes the meltdown. Just like 3rd week of May and every other month when Gold has a 2-3% sell off after...

    Gold not moving up on China move

    Dude, It's Sunday evening. At least wait for the Europeans to come in and trade before making any proclamations or analysis. You really should wait till 9AM when NYC trading really starts. You do realize that the market is very thin right now, right?

    Broad Commits 75% of Wealth to Charity, Takes Buffett Pledge

    Gates Foundation? Hmmm, forced sterilizations, questionable vaccines, dangerous pharma drugs being given to the impoverished African population. Now that's REAL philanthropy. As for Eli Broad, lol. I would place money that the charity is nothing more than a backdoor way to protect his...

    Series 7 Exam for a future college student?

    Well now, no need to repeat the obvious truths. I think we are talking of a situation without connections. I'm in the industry as well and the bottom line is that a finance/economics degree brings nothing to the table. More specialized degrees are highly preferred. You have to be...

    Series 7 Exam for a future college student?

    You gotta be realistic. It's competitive out there. A finance/economics degree is subpar. Hedge Funds of today are aiming at quant strategies with minimal discretionary trading. It's the same at true prop firms. Regarding what is required or not, well, a look through the HF job listing...

    Series 7 Exam for a future college student?

    If you look into who is hiring and what in the industry, you would change your opinion. A finance degree would get you nowhere. Math, physics, quant and computer science is what counts. Hate to break it to you, but those shops have long moved toward quantitative trading and would look for...

    You are more likely to become a top Hollywood actor or popstar than profitable trader

    He does not really have the money to bet, in case it's not obvious. I said it from the start, he will not make the bet, no matter how much he insists that he would. He acts like such a bigshot, so why not just make the bet for $5k so that in the case of some shady business, it would be an...

    You are more likely to become a top Hollywood actor or popstar than profitable trader

    Excuse me, WHAT? I left trading while positive in my account and profitable on a monthly basis, so you better check yourself before calling others "failed traders". I have put away savings over years in the bank and pulled them out to get into an emerging industry, for which I am now funding...
