You're doing it wrong.
Since you're interested in trading, focus on closely following the markets, reading as many books + research reports as possible, developing your on philosophy on how the market works, building competency in some programming language to test some of your ideas, learning finance, statistics and economic theory, acquiring specific product knowledge and then developing your own original ideas. If you stay committed to doing this, you will be prepared for everything that comes after.
And I'm yet to meet anyone who has "goodness in 'there' heart". Good luck searching.
Not to mention, not only are you doing it wrong, but even if you were doing it even slightly right you don't even give a resume. It's as if you got a food stamp and are looking to eat.
Give you an internship? Lol.
People are generally more than happy to help out kids who have potential, so try and find a way to show it. Most people won't put their neck on the line to help someone they've never spoken with.
Dude, first look up the difference between "there" and "their."
This is not a fucking english class. I know the difference between there and their. Im sorry I didnt proof read my thread. Now the world is gonna enf

Very Interesting.
What about those unsuccessful traders?
No, he won't settle for anything less than a market wizard. I should consider saving him the hassle and just give him Jack Schwager's number.
Why does it seem like 95% of the people on wall street oasis are stuck up. You would think that you guys are billionaire portfolio managers the way you guys talk. I wasn't really trying to get an internship, I was trying to see who some people worked for
Priceless.
The contradiction is too much. Your bad manners are exceeded only by your bad manners. Learn some manners and what is needed to get an internship.
Haha. Good one.
To OP: You didn't think any of the traders would just introduce themselves to you as: "VP Smith of XYZ, trading ABC and I would like to extend to you an invitation to the pants party." How dumb are you?
the funny thing is, it's people like this kid who tells everyone else how WSO is full of dicks and bullshits.
did your pissy attitude get you into a "semi-target" or was that mommy writing your essays
Exactly what I'm talking about. I ask a harmless question and everyone goes on a rant. Instead of criticizing try to teach. I thank Macro Arbitrage for his thoughtful answer.
Why don't you grown ass men have jobs? Its almost 2 am and you guys are still ranting about a college student. You guys are some broke f&cks
LOL 10/10
Yikes this kid doesn't even stand a chance in this business.
I have my google blog reader list available to download: http://zacharydavid.com/takeout.zip
All you have to do is go to google.com/reader, settings, import/export and import the zip.
Everything is categorized by general markets, pure quant, trading, and some higher order thinking stuff.
Commit to read 2 - 5 articles per category per day. Then gradually ramp it up. It'll take about 6 - 12 months to understand whats going on. But eventually you'll have absorbed so much point-counterpoint that you'll be able to make your own statements.
blumie? Hi!
This thread has potential. Son, you just ruined any chance you had of someone in this thread actually trying to help you.
OP- Take this as a learning opportunity. If I am looking for someone to hire, I am scrutinizing EVERYTHING.
Sings. Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends? Lol, im sorry for the rude comments.
Finally. Work hard and I'm sure you'll find something. Searching for an internship is just a numbers game.
great thread, keep it going
OP is proof that some people are born to be customers.
