Which reminds me - I am planning to write a book "Complicated Things for Dummies". This book would cover all advanced topics out there and will prevent further appearance of "For Dummies" books

Like a dummies how to edition for "Trolling?"
 
i don't envy you dude, a graduate program in math at oxford is a hell of a long string of all-nighters, hard work, huge exams and vicious competition, especially for something that isn't directly focused on what you want to do with your life. granted, the brand name will go far in the corporate world, but if you're that intelligent and confident in your abilities, why would you want to pay 100k for an education you can achieve on your own, only to work for someone else and give them the majority of the fruits of your labor and talent, wearing a corporate clown suit to boot? prestige is the only answer that makes sense to me. if you're in it to seek "truth", personally i think that's something you can only discover on your own.

If you don't like asskissing, you will fucking loathe the corporate finance world.

i always wondered why 90% of the traders i worked with were under 35, and now i know why. working for someone else in this industry is not worth it if you're that good. granted, training and learning on someone else's capital are useful, but is it worth 100K for a largely irrelevant education to end up trading someone else's capital?

I am rather new to the forum lingo - does "Trolling" refer to what I just did or does it refer to the misfortunate author of the thread?

"trolling" basicly refers to a poster who makes posts just to cause trouble, and does not stick to the spirit of the forum

"flamebait" are posts (something the author himself may consider stupid) designed to encourage an angry response

he then makes a sucker out of people who take them seriously

I suspect the author of this forum is posting flamebait
 
Thanks. I see. What about my attempts at posting - would they be considered 'trolling' since they do not directly answer the original posters question? It must be a FAQ, though :)
