It's fine to be 21. It's not really an accomplishment that she is bilingual with living experience in NYC and Paris. Those are due to her parents. What would have been an accomplishment is if she had taught herself the financial terms common to the industry that she was entering. She was shown reading books on trading. Why didn't she purchase a dictionary and teach herself a few terms? She's beautiful. She comes from money. She could have been proactive. She must be intelligent but she didn't think before she started. She didn't say what can I do to learn these terms.... A few weekends and she wouldn't have continued to feel that the "jargon" was a handicap. Someone hoping to become a doctor or lawyer would learn the "jargon" that they are supposed to know. Memorizing terms in a dictionary is easy. She would have then been able to understand more when they taught her something, showed her something on the monitors.   See 9 other replies

As a fellow young woman, I'm disappointed in her. She should know she needs to prove her competence and that she needs to put in some effort to teach herself not expect to be spoonfed. At any Barnes & Noble bookstore she could have purchased a Dictionary of Financial Terms by Barron's for $15. Even if you don't know about this dictionary, you know that such dictionaries exist. Go buy a dictionary of Wall Street terms. You can learn the language of the stock market, the language of the traders you will be working with BEFORE you start your job, before you even apply for the job. This would have helped her learning curve, her confidence, and the perception of her competence tremendously. Imagine if she knew the terms (or most of the terms) she heard on her first day? It's not just a French-English translation issue. She didn't think -- let me learn on my own. Everyone can read a dictionary and memorize terms. Before it sounds like an impossible task, you can try to learn only 20 terms every single day. You write them down on a flashcard (the word on the front, the definition on the back) and you memorize the 20 words throughout the day. Tomorrow you learn another 20 words. At the end of a month, you have a vocabulary of 600 words (even 500 if you took 5 days off). Start with words you know, like Stock, Bond, Securities, Options, Futures, Bid, Ask, Offer, and then look up any financial terms that you have to learn to understand those definitions and before you know it, you have filled 20 flashcards for the day. You review old flashcards sometimes. You focus on your 20 words a day. Even if you are not perfect about 20 words per day, and you miss a bunch of days for whatever reason, you will know more than 1000 words after 3 months. Imagine that! She is intelligent but perhaps not proactive. When you are a woman, you have to show that you are competent. I wish her the best. I wish any woman the best. Just make the effort to look competent.   See 9 other replies

She made an excellent choice in choosing the FOREX job with her kind of background. I think a lot of you are confusing her lack of confidence just starting out with what some of you say is a lack of intelligence. She is very intelligent and you have to imagine how eye opening it is to be thrown into such an environment where you're only as good as your last trade. I don't think she'll be one of the greats that people will write about, but I see her having a steady career.   See 9 other replies

Brett does walk a little funny I will admit that lol. However, everything he has done in life he has won at. School, work, and the Olympics. He is a winner and there is no denying that. I see a bright future for him and find him to actually be quite humble. Please don't hate on his success.   See 2 other replies

I completely agree. I hated Timmy. He was too immature and didn't have the cool dorkiness that people enjoy. Brett is my favorite also. He does come off as humble and a winner. I believe Brett has a bright future ahead of him. I wish they would come out with a new season as I am currently an economics major still in college.   See 1 other reply
