Trading Assistant

[Triple X]

Quote from Trader33160:

About me:
Eventually (but not highly likely) I would want you to trade for me, with my capital.

If this sounds good to you please PM with salary requirements.

Okay, is it eventually, or not highly likely?

:eek:

I interpret that to mean, don't ask me I'll ask you.

Eventually implies highly likely. A better choice of words would have been Perhaps oe Possibly.

Quote from tyler19:

College Degree = Intelligence?

I love how employers try to relate the two.

I missed the part where he equated the two. While I am not a fan of people with degrees - as a starting point, this is a filter - as good as any other.

While a college degree may not correlate with intelligence, the lack of a degree isn't a better indicator of the presence of functioning gray matter .... What filter would you recommend?

It's not that serious to me.

Indeed, the average college grad is as intelligent as a chimpanzee

Wrong way to make your point. The average college grad is more intelligent, in terms of raw scores on a given measure, than the average non-grad.

The point is that college grads aren't necessarily better at anything, and are probably worse at a lot of things, than the average non-grad. This isn't because of intelligence; it has to do with other personality traits.

Common Sense has a lot more to do with trading success than intellect, but having both would be the ideal. In any case all things being equal I'd probably hire a college grad over a non grad myself even though I myself was asked not to re-enroll and so have never finished my degree.
