Hello john,
there's another way to look at this. if I was 21, single and
interested in trading this could be a great way to break in, learn
from some very good minds (Connors is a first rate marketer but he's a
pretty good trader as well I think). Maybe you get to trade Connors
positions, options in TradingMarkets.com may be a good deal (they
seems to have grown steadily since inception).
This probably isn't the first job offer they've made so presumably
knowwhat they can get.
Lastly, who the frig cares!
Best regards,
Jim Johnson mailto:jejohn@xxxxxxxxxxx
