When People Ask "What do you do for a living" What say you?

huh???--- the people you list ARE who cares about the market --

Their passive 401k, Ira and other accounts -which many don't understand-- are on the forefront in the mind of your listed demographic.

Spoken like a guy who "worked" on Wall Street and thinks the world revolves around Broad and Wall.
 
i say : i trade commodities in Chicago Mercantile Exchange and usually the next question is how much's your income ? :)
(in middle east, asking bout job and income at the first meeting ,is not rude ! ):confused:

I like this--- never understood why it's considered rude in the USA.
 
I stopped trying to explain what I do for a living long before the Day Trading Wives of the 1990s existed, it lead to far many controversial discussions and too much prying into our business.


I use the generic "I am a consultant", when asked beyond that, I get afraid of all the new people who make themselves friendly before they knew what I did. People who once blow you off and find out you make much more money than they do, they are the most sneaky snakes there are. What advice to blow this group off and avoid unnecessary exposure and stay out of the spotlight, I like dark trading rooms, not talking with people about the "how and why" of Trading. Thank's for your advice!


Talking about our issues on Elite Trader is refreshing, because it's with real people who can relate to the strange and sometimes chaotic life we live by. People here bring something to this table, they don't insult our brains by asking "how can I make money with the least amount of effort day trading?"



Honestly, what 90% of you should be stating is that you're unemployed.
