    EDIT: Tixy, thank you for a good answer. You may ignore the remainder of this post

    You're right. With that attitude none of you can get anywhere.

    I run a trading desk, in an investment bank.

    Everyone thinks it is a scam...although the 3000 odd people already in the business didn't see it that way...and guess what, they no longer have to go to a 9-5 job and don't need to worry about money any longer...and got a free Mercedes (Oh yeah, did I mention that the total earnings of this business is over $300,000,000? The majority of that has been given to the partners (the 3000 people))

    Who told you that ?

    If by email they would tell you anything to get you hooked.

    No, it's us who are the fools, working, when we could be only months away from retirement, if only we had the business acumen that the OP has.

    He'll show us, oh yes. He's going t get a free Mercedes, you know...
