Do narcissists make good traders?

Are you a narcissist?.Narcissists don't make good traders ,because they are all talk and no trousers, or do they

Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultra confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

All mouth and no trousers

Someone who can talk a good game but cannot back himself up. Relies heavily on others who are his opposite (able, but a poor orator) to sort out any problems. One who makes idle threats.

One must first understand fully the meaning of the term "narcissist". --Thank you for your time--.

5 million is wealthy. He must have been pretty senior already to get paid that much too.

spending is ok, but it's too frequent to spend beyond your means. A million dollar yacht is an OK toy for a billionaire. Same goes for a car - my Fit does everything that I need and I don't need a fancy car to get laid:)

No chick will lay you because of your car.
 
A huge boat or car can be viewed as being similar to someone buying the newest, biggest Ultra-HD TV while being on the dole, getting weekly checks from the government.

I'm more conservative myself. If you have it and live very comfortable, buy it. If you don't have it... don't f%^ing spend it.

There's also a quote from the Rock in the series Ballers... "If it flies, drives, floats or fucks... lease it!" :D

Good rule of thumb that young people need to learn.... You pay as you go or you don't go.

@vanzandt, narcissists usually don't really learn though and tend to blow up. Even though they will learn from mistakes, they're likely to do it again... (see marsman ;) )

Ahhhh... maybe maybe not.

You can't make blanket statements and assign stereotypes about anyone in any endeavor. One could be a HUGE narcissist, but be incredibly cautious when it comes to trading and investing.

You think Marsman was a narcissist? I dunno. I think internet forums can be misleading. I think he's smart as all get out. And he has a need to emote. That does not necessarily a narcissist make.

Where the rubber meets the road, we're all narcissists in our own way. Every one of my friends could be defined as a narcissist. Its egghead shrinks that try to quantify every personality trait and post their theories on youtube that folks like TEB fall for. Stupid imo. Who cares. Its like "shut up and trade".
