You Full-Time Traders - What is it you call yourself?

Quote from CDNpatriot1:

I think once you have the goods to show the wealth you created nobody will question you unless you lose it.

So true. They want to see the benz, beamer, and Mcmansion. So shallow society is. First impressions are everything.
 
Quote from TraderZones:

"In the last few months, I am the one how is collecting your retirement"

I bet they love you at parties. You're the guy getting tarred and feathered right? :)

I say "I'm a futures trader" which creates the questions "what are futures" and "do you work for someone." Choose what you say based on your audience but remember that helicopter pilots get laid more often than accountants!

And even the guy picking up trash on the side of the highway may do better if he drives a nice car.
 
Quote from Spectre2007:

I think we are referred to as 'financial terrorists' now..

Anyone associated with Wall St., bankers, brokers, traders/speculators with become pariahs. Those in the financial industry will be looked upon with the same disdain as pedophiles.

Apart from family and close friends I wouldn't tell anyone that I use the stock market as my personal ATM. I'd rather tell people I pick up trash on the side of the highway.
