Explain the rainbow? Try explaining that grammar first Mr. "High attention to detail"; we'll get to your love of Crayola later. One upside to that E-mail: I would love to work with someone who technicolor-dream-coated their E-mails everyday.

 

I'd have given him the job if it was a joke. I don't know maybe, traders have sticks up their asses though

He shoulda rolled with it and acted like he was joking. Too bad he outed himself...

The kid could be in high school. Or a troll. The flair definitely got the kid noticed.

Tbh, I'm surprised how this kid is lucky enough to get responses. It's difficult for me to reach these guys.

Sometimes it's just dumb luck, catching the right person at the right time. Besides, this guy was probably so entertained by this kid that he couldn't just ignore the amusement.

 
holla_backThere's no fucking way this kid's real name is Matthew.

Just what I was thinking, his real name is most likely Ching Chong Chinaman or something similar.

 

Honestly though, he could've been trolling.

I actually know which firm Carl G. with, because I received the very same email from Carl a very long time ago when I applied to be a trade at his firm.

The actual trading firm is so shady. They ask you to put up your own $5k-$10k risk capital. When Carl told me this, I declined an interview..

I don't know much about trading, but I don't think it's the norm to ask for traders to put up their own capital.
