NYU provides Trading Courses to students

Higher Education is the key to become a successful trader

Higher Education!

P.S

Any technical indicators (SMA, bollinger, price action, pivot, etc etc) are outdated. Higher Education will give u the gift to create your own indicator. They will teach u how to be a ROCKET SCIENTIST

80% of college 'education' is a losing investment.

If you can prove the delta income vs. debt load is favorable for your business degree, I stand corrected.

if they can't afford it, then, that is too bad.

Higher Education created and improved democracy. United State of America way of life outperformed Nigeria.

Take your anti higher education to political forum

P.S

Degrees to become a trader are Math and computer science. Business degrees are for salesmen/women

Quote from emg:

absolutely, but with certain degrees:

math, computer science, and minor finance.

Example:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Chen

William "Bill" Chen (born 1970 in Williamsburg, Virginia) is an American quantitative analyst, poker player, and software designer.
He heads the Statistical Arbitrage department at Susquehanna International Group.

Chen holds a Ph.D. in mathematics (1999) from the University of California, Berkeley.

don't need to get a phd unless u want to, but math is strongly required. Chen able to play poker wells by using math to control emotion. After all, trading is based on math skills, and not stupidity

Why are we such sheep!!!!!???

Oh, a new class....here, take my money!!!

Oh, a new book...here, take my money!!!

This will not buy you the skill necessary to succeed. But yet, you sheep, get excited to spend more money and have less to trade with. Knowledge is power!!! Not in trading it's not. This isn't a profession where you have to have a teacher, perhaps like math and science.

Oh, look, a new book on how to really look at TA and why others fail!!!!

sheep....
