Quote from Breakout:
Hey Gordon...sorry to hear you're out of cash. I know some people are going to laugh, but here's a way you can save
up about $30,000 to $40,000 in about 2 years.
Get a job driving an 18 wheeler. Those guys are making somewhere between $700 and a $1000 a week. And since
it sounds like you're single, you wouldn't even need an apartment. You could put $500 a week into the bank and still
have a couple of hundred to play with.
Of course, it means sacrifice. You won't have much of a social life.
But, those 2 years will be up in no time, and you'll have an account.
And, heck...you'll get to see the country to boot!
Best of luck!

Sorry, aphexcoil, I can't disagree more: This would be the shortcut to hell.
You can't lie. Your interviewer would find out pretty soon. If he/she doesn't find out then guess who your co-workers are. Do you want to work in such a company?
If he/she finds out and hires you in spite of it then you can guess that this is a really shitty job. Do you want that job?
If you hate your job you might try some escapism like trading or quit the job before having enough money to start trading again. In both cases you don't have good chances to succeed in trading.
I didn't succeed in my PhD. That was my biggest failure in life so far - it took a while until I found out what went wrong. And now it's my answer for the standard question in job interviews "what was the biggest failure in your life".![]()
Most people try to show off in job interviews - I don't. If I show off I get the job that's made for the guy I pretend to be. If I'm honest I might get the job that is perfect for me. Of course those job interviewers pretend about their company, too, but that's another story.
GG, if you job interviewer doesn't honor your trading experience then it's the wrong job.

FUCKING HELL! PASS ME A GODDAMED BUCKET - THE VOMIT IS STILL COMING. YOU FUCKING WANKER LOSERS. WHO?
Gordon Gekko:
You self-pitying asshole. Go to McDonalds until you get enough money for me to take off you again. I'll be fucking glad to. There's another thread called Daytrading the ES. Had you followed that, maybe your last trade would have been a winner not a loser. Now THERE was real help right under your fucking nose, not the worthless shit available here. But you probably can't fucking read.
90% of everyone else, and 100% of the 'Elite' members on this thread (dbphoenix excepted):
One loser I can tolerate ...but you people are fucking pathetic. You miserable fucking wankers - you absolute twats. You take a decent bulletin board and stretch a fucking thread like this to 30 pages in a matter of hours. "Helpful advice" my arse. You're just a bunch of tossers who like the sound of their own voice, and who identify with losers like GG because that's all you are too. Do you think this fucking thread will help ANYONE trade better tomorrow?? Course not, but then you don't give a shit about that do you?
All you 'Elite' members do is fucking destroy the integrity of this web site, with your worthless stupid drivvel and moralising/philosophising. You're like a bunch of fucking sheep in a little clique, all bleeting together as one. No wonder new members leave this site so quickly when this is the "hot" thread. If I ever reach 'Elite' status - I've given my wife instructions to simply shoot me.
I'm now going to fuck off back to the thread where people want to discuss real trading. There's only so much vomiting I can put up with. If any of you pricks try and follow me, you'd better have something useful to say. Else I'll be up your fucking arse faster than even Gordon Gekko dreams of.
Tatty bye my dears![]()
