英雄出少年：31岁顶级交易员James Levin薪酬过亿美元

Gerald Buddenbaum, 69, has done just that. After retiring from the electronics distribution business in 2000, he moved from Chicago to Bend, Ore. and then to Portland. He soon found himself bored and looking to earn more from his investments than his bond funds were paying. These days Buddenbaum has most of his savings in cash and blue-chip stocks like IBM and McDonald’s .

With the remaining 10%, each morning at 6:30 a.m. West Coast time he buys and sells securities based on short-term momentum. When violence broke out in Egypt recently, Buddenbaum bought call options on energy stocks, like ConocoPhillips , and says he quickly doubled his money. He logs off daily by 1 p.m. local time.

Danny C. O’Neal, 65, began trading after seeing former Dallas Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson pitch a stock-trading course on TV. O’Neal attended a free seminar at an airport Marriott, signed up for an online chat room and made a few hundred dollars a day mimicking experienced peers. Then came an $8,000 loss within a few weeks. Convinced the only way to make money was with his own ideas, O’Neal spent $5,500 on classes from a trading outfit called Value Zone and believes he’s on the right track.

It hasn’t been easy. Each morning at 5 a.m. he mans an office in his Knoxville, Tenn. home and studies market charts. He trades stocks and futures until breaking at 11:30 a.m. and then trades for another hour near the day’s close. O’Neal says two or three screens would normally be enough to monitor markets, but he has eight because his eyesight is failing. He’s still $7,000 in the hole but has no regrets.

“This is really like a college education,” he says. “It’s something for me to do that I actually enjoy.”

Bottom line, the retirees we spoke with traded for the intellectual challenge as well as the profit potential.

“I don’t see retirement in my future,” says Smithman. “There’s so much to learn. It’s a whole new career.”

Christensen, the retired techie, says she’s made back almost all the money her retirement fund lost during the market crash. She’s also made friends and found an endlessly engaging pursuit: “Had I not gotten into trading,” she says, “I’m not sure what I would have done with myself.”

牛人啊

怎么说呢，虽然看起来很牛。。但是个人觉得还是需要一定的天时的。。。毕竟这样的交易不是什么时候都能出现的。。。毕竟，这孩子命好。。够勤奋。。有天赋。。。在恰当的时机做对了恰当的事情。。一个人是否是“大牛”。。应用长远的眼光来看待。。。否则，只能是昙花一现而已。。

又是一个用程式交易的交易员。

将来的世界属于程序交易。对决双方比的是程序。

好牛牛的人啊

每当看到此类消息，就会想到中国劳工没日没夜辛苦劳作的身影，古人云：劳心者治人，劳力者治于人。诚不我欺！

牛人呀！！！

啧啧。。。有目标了。。
