LOLOL! Gee Fin, where is it you hang out.... pun intended, that you can "pull out the package" as a means of communication and not go to jail?

If you got the money to show and the hot bachelor pad, you'll pick up many girls with that line.

It's funny how many people have no clue what stock trading is. They think it means being a broker.

Me: "I'm a stock trader, baby"

Chick: "So you trade stocks and stuff?"

Me: "Stocks, Bonds, Futures, Options -- I am a man of all derivatives baby."

Chick: "So are you like long or short?"

Me: "Long baby -- I'm Looooooooong"

Ok young guns, here's a tip. Don't ever tell them you're a trader. Just put on a kind of self-deprecating smile and say you manage a private investment fund.

AAA, excellent advice.

While I am not allowed by my wife to try and pick up girls, I do find myself at a lot of fund raising functions at which I need to talk to strangers. Invariably, people ask what I do for a living. This is just normal social conversation.

I found out a long time ago that saying I was a "trader" only led to too many questions, and a lot of confusion.

For the past several years, I say essentially what you suggested (or a variation on that theme). Makes it very easy. Saves a LOT of time wasted trying to explain something to people that would not understand no matter what.

Peace,
