Mike,
I've found it interesting that the very best traders are street-savvy high testosterone types who generally are at level of educational achievement far below that of the guys in the corner offices. Perhap apochraphal, but it is suggested that the very best open outcry traders are hired right out of high school. Advanced education is a detriment to success. Thus, I'm toast as a trader.

OK, I've overstayed my 30 second tick, and the limits of concentration at this short attention span theatre of the absurd........

Yeah, right. Reminds me of Richard Whitney... <g> |
