Quote from Rodney King:
For those with common-sense skills, ask yourself: Would someone who actually makes all kinds of money trading choose to live in a small town in the Midwest... or in a place that sentient beings would actually <i>want</i> to live -- say, Bernardsville, Rye or New Canaan, or on the other side, Santa Monica, Laguna, or La Jolla? I mean, <i>think</i> for a minute.
I'm not defending Proflogic, as I have no clue if he makes money trading or not, but your common sense is way off here.
Have you ever heard of Warren Buffet or Sam Walton? Did they permanently relocate to Orange County?
I live in the Midwest and I can assure you that there plenty of very wealthy people that are perfectly happy living in small towns/cities and wouldn't want to live on the coasts for even a second.
See if you can find Jim Simons' systems there
