    Best bet is to be a recent graduate of an Ivy school. It's all they look at. They don't hire people with experience. If I run into the guy I know from there, may have some more info for you later this week. best, david

    Why Degrees Don't Matter in the Market!

    I agree. I also think you have to have a certain hunger for it. I "think" the better traders have done "what they don't like" for quite some time, and succeed at trading because of it. I also think that people become traders because of the "cool" lifestyle, until they realize it's more...

    Why Degrees Don't Matter in the Market!

    Speculation is observation. Period. No Ivy degrees required. Go to the bar's by the NY Merc at 3:30 and watch the characters that come in. Usually Oil traders. All Loaded. And all look like extra's from Goodfellas. I personally know a guy who trades oil..makes 7-10K per...

    Minyanville, Todd Harrison - random thoughts...

    3rd TH thread, basically bashing him again. What are you people looking for? Jim Jones? The friggin site costs $6.50 per month. I do not think he is interested in giving advice, but prefers educating. So the guy's been wrong for 3 months, I am a subscriber, and frankly hasn't cost me a...

    statistics, standard deviation

    That's STDV/Volatilty from mean trading. I use it daily in trading. Best trade of the year was SS MMM @ 137, was almost a 3.0 STDV, meaning spends 2% of the time at that price relative to mean price past 20 days. 2.0/3.0 STDV are money trades. best, david
