Hi roserrsp. You're welcome. Hope you enjoyed the article. I like everything I've read by Michael Lewis - are you familiar with his work? Very bright with real wit I think. He (ML) agrees with you, and I do too; it appears this teenager did what many people on Wall St. do - funny to read the way Levitt (what little I know about him he is a decent guy) reacted to ML - unfortunately revealing. Notice how little either of those guys actually knew about the teenager and what he actually did. Philosophically, I don't want to be defending what he did, but given the realities of today he is like many professionals ... so?! One of the things that intrigued me the most was how young he was when he started learning about the market, and, the fact that he got up at 5 a.m., did his 'work,' went to school and came home and did more 'work.' That is discipline! Not out stealing hubcaps (showing my age) nor, apparently, doing drugs etc.. bowledover
