This is going to sound really stupid, but can't everyone predict stocks?

Do you want to hang out with us?

That's my definition of "genius"--the ability to understand all aspects of "Finnegan's Wake."

I have a complete understanding of the Cosmos- the who, what and why. I also know secrets about the universe... how it works.

Grudgingly, I am going to Princeton for 22 months after a 2 1/2 month vacation.

I find showing off embarrassing and that's it.

Are you religious, if so, what religion? Or are you an atheist?

I am an atheist as it it the most logical conclusion of the universe, IMO (and science agrees).

If everyone could, there would be a lot less opportunity in the market. My mother lived on stocks, but I prefer to use my brains productively. I did manage to predict a real-estate turn to the month, though, when a friend was interested, and tried to buy gold the day it was at a rare bottom, but didn't know how.

Focussed talents are generally useless in isolation. We either need to be renaissance men, equally good at sales jobs, or find partners to create a viable enterprise. A bank will never loan money to a company made of only engineers, even if they come to the meeting in floating bubbles. If you find a video of a guy with a encyclopedic memory, there will be another guy with him doing the introductions and telling the crowd how amazing he is. Kim Peak depended on his father, and Walt Disney needed his brother Roy to get things done.

I "everyone" could predict the stock market then everyone would be fabulously wealthy.

So I take that you CAN "predict stocks". So I take it that you are fabulously wealthy.

you could try to invest a bit, and if you get rich you can donate the money to different charities, like an autism charity or an animal shelter?

I can show a 16.6% return on investment, or in other words, stocks that double every six years.

I am not bragging about anything... it's just these things are obvious to me. My son, 20, quizzed me last night with Algebra, which I have not done in about 25 years and I can see the answer from the question.
