Not sure if this was already posted (did a search and didn't find anything).
Anyway, I thought it was pretty funny.

hilarious. that kid is a moron.
Gold. +1
His grammar is just as shitty. "I want to be a trader because of the such strong interest I have for the financial market." I can't believe the kid is actually being serious with this
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.
When I said that HR likes fingerpainting, I was speaking figuratively.
lol fobs
At least he follows directions... Just too bad he's retarded.
"Comic Sans" font... ouch.
That kids going about as far as a senior on the JV team
Nowhere...
answer in colors is a great idea,
too bad poor guy was not joking
i'd hire him....seems like he wouldn't bat an eyelid at insider trading or whatever else I'd tell him to do.
It's a kid you could trust in front of senate.
lol
That's definitely fake
sounds like a state school kid.
Lol, the kid just made a killer impression!
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.
There'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.
