    'Idiot-Savant' Traders?

    I've looked into this matter a bit more, and have two things to say: 1) I stand corrected. Asperger's <b>is not</b> 'the modern P.C. name for idiot-savant', but rather a separate form of high functioning autism. 2) I just ordered some DMSA pills. Perhaps chelating away some mercury can...

    'Idiot-Savant' Traders?

    I didn't mean to insult you, and I apologize if I inadvertently did so. After all, you could be of great help to me in determining whether I'm one of you, or not. I'd really like to know the answer.

    Maybe you <b>can</b> reach fifty after all. Got an old thermometer and a hammer? (The preceding was meant as a joke. Don't drink mercury!)

    'Idiot-Savant' Traders?

    Ok, so instead of the hostility, why not just correct my mistakes so that we can all be better informed? What is the modern politically correct name for 'Idiot-Savant'? Is it 'Autistic-Savant'? Something else? Can you provide better online tests than the one I posted? Don't just say "ask...

    'Idiot-Savant' Traders?

    Hypostomus & nitinparmar: Don't you see what you've just done? I have an open mind on this topic, along with most other ET members posting in this thread. You're dealing with people who have <b>yet to form strong opinions</b>, since we have very little insight on this subject matter to begin...

    'Idiot-Savant' Traders?

    OMG promagma! You mean there's a chance I can lower my score down from 37 to a comfortable number? Fuck yeah, I'd do that! Even if this cure were to completely destroy my 'superpowers', it would still be worth it.

    'Idiot-Savant' Traders?

    Reacting with uncalled for hostility, instead of politely and patiently correcting a perceived factual error... Hmmm, that's also a common aspie behavioral trait, is it not? I'm an expert in many fields, medical and otherwise. However I freely admit that I am NOT very well read in the field...

    *sigh*??? Andrew? You've been a close friend for quite a few years now, and you know my personality and my life inside out. Would you <b>really</b> wish to trade your will to live and your happiness- in exchange for a life of material riches... accompanied by constant torment, discomfort...

    'Idiot-Savant' Traders?

    Probably a very rich trader. No joke. _____________________ I was initially reluctant to publicly share my score with the rest of you. However, now that many have been brave enough to share their own results: <b> I got a 37! :eek: </b> While all of the doctors completely missed it...

    'Idiot-Savant' Traders?

    'Idiot-Savant' is no longer the politically correct term, of course. "Asperger's" is the modern name for the phenomenon, where a person can be so unusually talented at specific numbers-based tasks like code breaking, software engineering, and perhaps... trading? After seeing one INTP after...

    SNDK - my first credit spread

    SNDK stock: $57.52 SNDK APR 60 PUTS: $4.70 bid. No need for concern yet. You have to understand that the put buyer on the other side would have to be a <b>complete moron</b> to exercise his long puts while they have any kind of time value priced in. You understand why, right? Secondly...

    Hate-filled Nativists Persecute Brave Principal, Insult Mexican Flag

    Hey look on the bright side: If the 18 million illegal aliens were Muslims instead of Mexicans, petty flag vandalism would be the least of our worries!

    What is a Dollar?

    In the early days of the U.S.A., every dollar was exchangeable for 412.5 grains of 90% silver. Paper money was merely a conveniently portable 'place holder'. It was a certificate of entitlement to precious metals held by the U.S. Treasury. Up until 1933, a U.S. dollar represented a fixed...

    Who wants to have riskarb back?

    Thing is, Riskarb posted <b>thousands</b> of helpful, knowledgeable posts, then three or four uncharacteristically offensive ones while in a bad mood one day- and gets banned. Kingcobra posts 385 posts, <b>every single one</b> is useless racist crap, of no value to anyone, yet somehow he...
