What Wall Street Has Taught You

Why Wall street will humble you into being a better person

 

 

Brings the worst out of you

 

If you are a warrior you will get up pick up the pieces and move on with wisdom

 

You can apply these lessons in real life whether its relationships work issues physical emtional etc you will know when to cut your losses and move on

 

it brings you close to your EGO daily and you need to defeat it in order to trade well and in the result be a better person

It has taught me that I don't know as much as I would like to think. What I am learning is that I know even less.

 

What I like most about the markets is that it rewards us based on our skill, talent, and willingness to work hard. We can make mistakes and yet comeback from them to become a better trader. My current job rewards failure with a kick out the door. Hopefully one day I will join the ranks of successful daytraders.

 

The other aspect of the markets I like is the people. They are the most positive folks in the world. I know one trader where his whole world can be falling apart and he is like a rock. Concerned, but not freaking out and just dealing with whatever situation as it comes to him.

what markets (rather than just wall street) has taught me.

- you can be wrong more often than you are right and still make money.

- its a combination of work and luck..... one by them selves will not help over the long run.

- there is more than one way to skin a cat

- if you put 1000 people in a room and give them a set of rules of how to be a sucess in the markets, some will make it, most will fail, some will break the rules and still make it and ruin it for the rest of us.

- you will meet the best and worst people on a trading floor.

- brokers have the right idea, take a clip without the risk. (but where is the fun in that)

For my personal trading it has taught me to control my ego.

 

When I look at Wall Street firms it has taught me that failure and incompetence is rewarded heavily. John Thain, Stan O'Neill, Vikram Pandit, Chuck Prince, Jimmy Cayne, Dick Fuld. These guys are all worth hundreds of millions, two brought down huge institutions.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
