hahaha....seriously?

So what do you do? -I work for an investment banking firm. Oh okay; you are like my brother, he works for Edward Jones. -No, a college degree is required in my profession

Reality hits you hard, bro...
 

but I'm assuming it's an online stock portfolio. If that is that case, then I certainly would mention it in your cover letter. It shows that you have a passion for investing and have made some nice calls. Of course, be prepared to explain in detail during an interview what stocks you picked, why you picked them, fundamentals, valuations, etc.

 

Not sure if this post is a joke or not. Is Investopedia paper-trading? Anyway, unless you manage a sizeable portfolio of stocks it is laughable to discuss your returns. PA trading is much different than HF trading. There is no harm in disclosing your interest in the markets in your cover letter and possibly listing 1 or 2 trades that you have been successful with but dont go overboard. Save it for the interview, Stevie...
