    Life is Short -- The real cost of trading

    I wonder what is a "lovely sweet wife" for Garcia. But please don't show us now, I ate a terrible meatball sub at lunch and my stomach wouldn't support it.

    Why do billionaires want to make more money?

    Exactly. I love to hear " I trade to retire at 40", "I don't want to stay glued behind screens all my life"or "if it wasn't for the money, I would be doing more interesting stuff"...LOL. Continue like that, you'll see what kind of billionaire you will make.

    Kerviel Found Guilty by French Court in SocGen Trading Case-Gets 5 Year In Jail

    6.7 Billion is a joke, but he totally deserve to be indebted for life, with or without Soc Gen being aware of what he was doing. They are sending a message about financial responsibility of traders. You can't continuously take moronic risk to get big bonus and hide behind an institution when...
