How I made a million dollars working part time from home with no boss, no risk and no upfront capital. This is the genre, but the method varies from mail order to trading and now real estate it seems.

So far I have yet to see CAIA specified by any big name fund or I bank. That may change, but it appears not to be recognised yet to the extent that the CFA/MBA is.

Good points Suss

I think the big thing to consider is do you fit into big organisations. CFA, MBA is for people following that path. If you don't get I Bank politics then it won't make that much difference whether you have it or not a few years in. CFA at least appears on you business card and is...

As noted by someone else elsewhere, the only subject for discussion was whether it was going to be a 'U' or a 'V' shaped recovery and when tech was going to "come back" because that of course was what the public wanted to hear and they tune in to hear what they want to hear.

I just recognised (at 42) that I had ADD and eased out of daytrading except under ideal conditions. No more self recrimination. Books on trading discipline and finding the zone ceased to be relevent. There's a lot to be said for focussing on catching a few huge moves across a broad spectrum...

Ditto Asia. You still get people flying in and thinking they will walk away a winner in a deal with some guy who is on his own ground has been dealing with naive foreigners for 20 years.

As I said before, all the more reason to operate below the institutional liquidity threshold or trade stocks controlled by a good old fashioned manipulator who mops up the float and then ramps it up and dumps it on the suckers the good old fashioned way. Won't be long before he/management's...

I rmember when pricing algorithms had names like 'Dave' and were more likely to be found in the pub across the road than in an airconditioned clean room. On a serious note, all the more reason to operate below the institutional liquidity threshold.
