Well, Youtube is a cheap way to advertise yourself and to show that the major networks think enough of your opinion to expose you to millions of people. So, if Ms. Aldridge did post it, then good for her.

I don't disagree that working hard can produce wonderful results. Unfortunately, sometimes a person doesn't have an aptitude for an area of study. Some people can learn to apply a set of knowledge in a rigid way, but they will lack the ability to deviate from the known path and develope new tools or use the existing one in an ingenius way.

Your experience doesn't invalidate that the Normal Probability Distribution can rank groups of people in terms of intelligence.

Well, I'm not familiar with any of those companys. At this juncture, I'm working on my skill set and waiting for the financial sector to resume hiring people. As for the sell side, do you think that is such a curse?

My most recent discovery is that my local public library has many professional level proprietary databases available for free and I can connect from home. This is wonderful news as proper business and investment research requires reliable data.

Most Master of Finance degrees don't provide practice in due diligence. You learn the theory, but rapid deployment using respectable resources isn't included. I'm just glad that I'm smart enough to correct the deficiency.

Regarding the title of the video, I saw it live on CNBC. Ms. Aldridge was debating someone. Iiked the girl; so, I surveyed a few videos. That is how I arrived here: good old fahion primal male behavior.

At present, my approach it to use "top down" fundamental and technical analysis in order to investigate investment ideas. I don't think that will change as I'm still refining my skills, but I'm always looking for refinements.

You're quite right. I'm a math junkie--master's degree level, but I'm not working on a Phd. Once I save up for it, I plan to earn the "7 City Quantitative Finance Certificate." If that goes well, then I'll try for admission in the Carniege Mellon "Quantitative Finance Master's degree"; although that later goal may or may not be necessary. I don't know. I'll figure that out later.

You should get used to the fact that people can be categorized based on qualitative descriptions: fat, skinny, unattractive, hot, hotter, smart, stupid, etc.... What matters most is that people are treated well in the public and the workplace. I know that I'm not as attractive as Brad Pitt and I'm fine with that. I don't feel that I'm less of a human being, but I do think that I will get layed by less attractive women. I'll live.

My impression is that either of the following scenarios might describe you. First, you are a teacher and have been indoctrinated into pretending that everybody is the same. Of course, that isn't true and you're only lying to yourself if you think that. Second, you wanted to study something technical, but in fact didn't have the aptitude; yet, somehow think that you failure is the result of personal constraints associated with a lack of "upbringing, environment, and experiences."

Intelligence can be modeled using the Standard Normal Distribution--Bell Curve if you haven't been to the university. Most people are in the middle to varying degrees and the extreme are on either side. Those three areas can be interpreted as different levels of intelligence. That is the evidence to corroborate my assessment.

Intelligence design is not at all relevant, as that concerns detecting the creator in the complexity of life, which is bullshit.
