It's really funny who people around here perceive as the "most intelligent". I didn't expect these kind of responses at all.
It's clear that personal bias plays a lot more of a role here than objective observation. But yeah.
Well, I'll just post my own, personally biased list here. This list refers not only to formal intelligence, as in IQ (which would make the list look different, but also to social intelligence, as in EQ, as well as quality and value of postings, and personal preference. Although I do have personal contact with quite a few of the people in this list, I do not claim to know all or any of them well enough to make objective assertions or claims. Well here we go for a general, or "favourites" top-20-list:
1. armaniman
2. Girlpower
3. bubba7
4. NihabaAshi
5. marketsurfer
6. Ken_DTU
7. metoox
8. Aaron
9. brandonF
10. nitro
11. trade4success
12. esc_trader
13. Fast_Trader
14. dbphoenix
15. Magna
16. esc_trader
17. gms
18. RAMOUTAR
19. TM_Direct
20. candletrader
I would say if it comes to pure intelligence only, the leaders could be:
1. Jack / bubba7
2. armaniman
3. praetorian2
4. Aaron
5. NihabaAshi
6. marketsurfer
7. nitro
8. Girlpower
9. esc_trader
10. gms
In emotional intelligence only it could be:
1. Girlpower
2. candletrader
3. bobcathy
4. RAMOUTAR
5. vanilla2
Let's just leave it with 5 here. It's getting difficult LOL.
Best Traders? That's really tough... Maybe like this:
1. Aaron
2. praetorian2
3. metoox
4. Jack / bubba7
5. brandonF
6. Girlpower
7. Ken_DTU
8. marketsurfer
9. armaniman
10. nitro
11. candletrader
12. RAMOUTAR
The first 3 are hedge fund managers, and they're all excellent. While they may not be the best of all of them, they certainly have the open results and that gives them extra points. Otherwise, this is biased opinion only, based on observation and insights.
Those named cover most of the posters I read. About 30. Sorry if I may have forgotten someone! Also, they may not be in perfect order - It's just a rough guesstimate!
The rest is pretty much newbies, quiet lurkers, flamers or general rubbish. There really are few gems on this board. I will refrain from posting the other end of the list here - They know who they are and I'll be "intelligent" enough not to post a list here...
Have a Great Day!
