You make a good point Brandon but I'd like to go deeper.
I've often remarked that the most successful traders I've know are super pricks.
It takes an obnoxious degree of self absorption to think you deserve eight or nine figures.
Most of us sub consciously hit a comfort wall. Some psychologists will say sons don't really want to out perform their fathers.
Even in athletics the âwinnersâ have a jagoff air about them. Think Bonds, Jordan, A-Rod, Kobe. Even my hero Brett Farve. I read the other day that in three years Farve barely spoke to his backup Aaron Rogers. Even Vinny Chase with his patronizing "what now" line.
That's not to say winners aren't charming. All smart people can act. But deep down keeping ones riches is an act of egotism that few ultimately possess.
