Traders Education

Quote from John Q Public:



If you were really smart, you wouldn't have mentioned it since it doesn't really make any difference one way or the other.

So simple logic dictates that since you are not really smart, you must be fibbing.

It doesn't take a genus to figure that one out.

Actually, simple logic dictates nothing of the sort.

But I agree, a genus would be of little use in determining the veracity of bobcathy's claim.
 
Wow.... we have a "High Genius" among us.

An IQ of 175 places him above:

Charles Darwin
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Nicolaus Copernicus
(Estimated IQ scores)


Should be a billionare in a couple of years, no? :D

Quote from bobcathy1:




You have got to be kidding! I did not go to college and I have a 175 IQ. I have run a pile of successful businesses and retired at 45. College? Bah Humbug!
Must admit though, I am a voracious reader.

BS in Engineering and MS in Operations Research plus numerous postgraduate classes - all of which are of no value when it comes to trading.

Only real life experience counts, the rest is nice for a resume only.
 
My husband graduated college in 3 years with 2 BA's....one in physics and one in math. He has an IQ of 172.
He does not trade, he can't sit still for that long. Matter of fact he is in construction because he does not like being confined at all.
So having an education and an intellect does not a good trader make.

I think it takes concentration
attention to details
being able to shut everything else out
being able to shrug off losses
have a determination to succeed
and a wicked sense of humor.
