Hmm, my pursue of the stock market model (what make the stock market moves?) seems to be similar to the “Theory of Everything” of economic, strangely! I started out with the stock market, then the picture got bigger and deeper,,,,,, I need to know how Wall Street works in order to answer some of my questions, and Wall Street also can connect me to answer the rest of my questions, some are global. Essentially, it holds all the answers I am looking for.
Why haven’t I read all the economic books? I don’t want my mind to be corrupted; because I found most people seems to be misguided (“efficient market”??) at best, but some don’t know what they are talking about (Larry Summer’s believed in the conventional believes that women are not good at technical/scientific subjects)or what they are doing (CEOs layoff workers during a downturn, etc).
Now, in order for me to get a job in Wall Street, I will have to get a finance degree (I already had a Master’s in Engineering) as it seems, and be corrupted by all these absurd theories as well people, and take them as if is the truth.
I sent my resume to Wall Street firms between 2004-2007 with a cover letter started with the following, assuming Wall Street have the best and the brightest as well know what they are doing, that they are able to ignore the writing flaws but able to recognize the substance. Pffffttttt.
[“There is a saying, “May you live in interesting times.” Like it or not, we live in interesting times. This is not the time for the faint of heart. But for those who can seize the moment, there were never been in history with opportunities in so many areas.”]
Wall Street is also the safest place considered what happened to me. I’ve also been tried to convince myself I want to be rich, as oppose to my technical/scientific leaning all my life - to change the world with technology/scientific innovations. I’ve always been a minimalist and against wastefulness. I just can’t think of anything I want to buy to motivate myself, and no illusion of grandeur. But now I am running out of money after over 8 years of unemployed, and can’t possibly pay for the tuition, now I am motivated, sort of.
A note - Mistaken beauty for truth, and then there are those who mistaken youth-looking and beauty for dumb and incompetent.
