There is a big difference between gambling and risk taking. Trading is not gambling unless you head into the markets without a clue what you are doing, which is where most people start. The part about pill popping? Well...to stay in the game it can become a necessity. Trading is a bitch of a...

Thanks for the suggestions. The next book I had on my reading list was "The Second Coming of Christ..." but at 1700 pages I hesitate. Perhaps I'll take a detour and read what you have suggested below. Although, a friend of mine said if you read The Second Coming it will change your life in...

The definition I use for intuitive is knowing with relative ease or effort. I think what Yogananda was eluding to was simple acceptance and faith that God exists. He is trying to rid the mind of the battle between evolution and the Grand Plan. If there is a Grand Plan why can't evolution be...

Read "Autobiography of a Yogi," by Paramahansa Yogananda and you will be on your way to understanding the meaning of life. It has nothing to do with money or materialistic possessions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramahansa_Yogananda...

It actually can get you rich quick. When I first started trading futures I generated a return of just over 1000%. I had money coming out of my ears. Then came the day when I lost 1/3rd of my account in one day. I made it all back and then the exact same thing happened again, almost to the...

Ireland had double digit GDP growth for a number of years. Now look where they are. Just because China is growing fast now doesn't mean it will continue. All countries go through cycles and if China is producing these impressive GDP growth numbers by building vacant homes then there is...

Damn my fellow Chicagoan, you gonna let him get away with that or are you still loading the .30_06? :D

Wow! Interesting wake up call. I didn't know this about the profession. I guess I'll keep my day job :)

Those who can do; those who can't put up websites and teach. Your chances of finding a reputable, profitable online daytrading school are slim. Most traders become profitable through the school of hard knocks. There is no easy way and the path is full of tremendous disappointment. Is day...

Thanks Holmes. It was either someone bitch about that or someone bitch about creating two threads in such a short period of time. One way or another the bitches would surely come out of the ET closet. I guess that makes you the bitch :D

If you get caught speeding more than 30mph over the limit in Illinois you face a possible jail sentence of 6-months. 40mph over and it's a year. Pretty soon we'll be going to jail for jaywalking. The US has the highest per capita prison rate in the world and it seems it's only going to go...

I am not a big winner, I'm a consistent winner and I don't always beat the market. In fact, the market has beaten me the last two years but I crushed the market in 2008 and 2007. The only type of trader that will last is the one who realizes trading is a marathon, not a sprint. If you're...

Myself. Read "Trading in the Zone," by Mark Douglas, eat an <b>extremely</b> healthy diet and avoid sugar like it's arsenic, get plenty of sleep, plenty of exercise, and perhaps above all, learn to meditate. I've worked with many wanna-be traders over the years and very few will commit to...

Your relevant coursework section is redundant. A recruiter knows what the curriculum of a Finance Degree is. The rest in that section is very good. All in all, I would say this is a very good resume for a recent grad. I would definitely give you a call. Unfortunately, any college that has...
