I would say that's good advice. I don't disagree. I just don't think it's a good idea for people who don't have the experience of both trading (or investing), nor the background of having obtained a degree to be reinforcing other people's grandiose ideas that they don't need a degree. If...

Bye...don't let the door slam your ego on the way out.

That's fucking funny, because my first post in this thread has been very specific in that I was talking about the benefits of getting a degree whether you planned on trading or not, and whether your degree would be specific to your trading or not, it would still be worthwhile... ...and I...

Not everybody who trades in the market is a daytrader. You don't need a "pro" platform to swing trade. Honestly, I through out a low figure there because I don't believe anybody participating in this thread claiming that a degree is worthless is actually making a significant (or...

How so. You've stated that a degree is worthless, yet you don't have a degree, so how could you possibly know that it's worthless? If the majority of people with degrees concur with your sentiment, then you're right. If the majority of people with degrees don't concur, then you're wrong...

My very first post on this: "There's a huge difference between how the dollar is manipulaed through fed policies vs. the Chinese goverment basically being the only player on the block in terms of influencing the currency exchange rates. The dollar floats and therefore, is probably valued...

First of all, polls are worthless in the context of an internet message board. Secondly, if the poll is strictly based upon the relationship of a degree to your trading, well then that's a horrible method to determine whether a degree was worth it or not. You're simply determining whether...

And nowhere have I even hinted that. I simply want to hear one person here say that they regretted getting their degree. I'm hearing a lot of, "I don't need no freak'n degree because it's a waste". I just don't want other young people in this thread to believe that these sentiments are...

Look...you're missing my point. On a day to day basis, the Chinese government is controlling directly what range it will allow the Yuan to move in. The Fed does set monetary policies to *influence* where the dollar goes. The Fed does not attempt to minute by minute control the dollar. If...

Good bye. I have no interest in playing 8 year old insult games.

Am I the open market? No...and neither is the Chinese government. So, I don't make assanine claims of exactly where it should be. My opinion is that the Yuan is greatly undervalued since it has been artificially deflated to keep it close to the falling dollar. Unless the biggest fucking...

The difference is between being in the driver's seat of a Mack truck and hitting the brake (China), vs. hooking a Dodge Neon to a chain and trying to stop the Mack truck with the little Neon (Fed). Apples to oranges in terms of net effect on the valuations of the currencies.

Laugh if you want. You still know I'm right. What is so difficult to understand. The fed tries to "coax" the dollar. The chinese government CONTROLS the Yuan. What's so fucking hard to understand?

We still have a massive trade deficit. That isn't going to change next year or in 5 years. Americans still consume massively more than China does.

It's still a market controlled float and not a government "pseudo-float". That's no subtle difference.

Wrong, the Chinese government directly controls where the Yuan goes. Call it what you want. Call it a "managed float" if you want. The point is that the Yuan is still not valued where it should be if the Chinese government allowed a completely market controlled float. And frankly, if the...

Oh yeah...then what are all those currency traders doing then in terms of influencing the price? How about the demand and supply of the Dollar on the world markets? Are you confused as to how a floating currency operates? The US government isn't forcing the dollar into a narrow range and...

I wonder about the posters in this thread? Is there anybody here who has a degree that regrets getting the degree? I see a lot of the individuals here without degrees bashing the idea of getting a degree. But wouldn't a more accurate assessment come from somebody with a degree giving reasons...

There's a huge difference between how the dollar is manipulaed through fed policies vs. the Chinese goverment basically being the only player on the block in terms of influencing the currency exchange rates. The dollar floats and therefore, is probably valued where it should be. The Yuan is...

I wish people would quit making comparisons to the 70's. This environment is NOTHING like the 70's. The 70's had supply shocks for oil (middle east embargo) and interest rates in the double digits. Interest rates are relatively low now, and even though oil prices are high right now, there are...
