I find Troll Vulcan’s posts interesting.

First he says he’s talked to mechanics who repaired cars for a living who couldn’t keep up; when you implied that was too low a level, he then changed gears and claims to have worked on trading in Chicago; and the latest post has him claiming to be versed in math and science.

If he were good enough in math & science to have lasted as a commodities trader, he’d have been set for life and not reduced to talking about how his generation will eat the boomers’ lunch.

Incidentally — if he was at the trading floor 15 years ago, he’s hardly a spring chicken any more: and by his talk, still not a manager.

And yet he makes fun of you for supervising kiddies.

Will you look at that!

Forgot to include your name on the last post.

Cheers!

Troll Vulcan has been here five years longer than you newbie.

I trade for myself. I worked full time in a distribution warehouse till I got it off the ground. When I wasn’t running political campaigns from the city to congressional level, a little truck farm operation on the side till gas prices ate up the profts, and a bit of consulting here and there for some added-value ag projects. I have worked 80 to 90 hours a week for oh, about 10+ years.
