Never tell people you are a trader. There are only three possible outcomes:

1) They assume you are unemployed, doesn't matter where you work. 2) They have no comprehension of what that means. 3) They ask you for market advice.

"I own a bunch of sweatshops in the Philippines... you should see those kids make those hats."

I wish i could shove my dick so far up your dick that it creates a gaping vagina, because that's who you are. Just tell them that you're a ginormous douche-canoe with a gaping vagina. They'll understand.
