<p>I understand you might have been working in M&A for the last 30 years (I have been reading the ibanking forum thoroughly as of late), but is it really necessary for you to get into arguments with people on quite a few of these threads? You say that you want to pursue education, which I think is fantastic, but maybe your approach on these threads is not what you want to portray in the real world. A lot of people might be turned off. </p>
<p>You sound like a mature adult professional… maybe start taking the higher ground? After all you are talking to high school or college students.</p>
<p>Just a thought. </p>
<p>Can you give me some input on trading, and if it is necessary to work on the street to learn good fundamentals? I have been offered a professional trading course by my father, which taught by ex-wall street traders. I am wondering if I should enroll in it.</p>
