Default Re: It\'s time for poker players to start putting their money to work.

Scorpion man's path to the markets is the traditional one, but you don't necessarily have to do it that way. I have a couple friends that can watch a stock for awhile, get a "read" on it just like a poker player, and trade it for a nice profit. One of them started actively trading at 17 and opened his own hedge fund at age 22. Neither of these guys have had any formal training or "education" in this field. They learned at the school of hard knocks, and I'd be willing to bet that when a small cap or bulletin board or pink sheet stock starts moving, they can find out who's doing it faster than the average guy at Goldman can.
