Just wondering if going to an Ivy League (not just any university but an Ivy League or Oxford/Cambridge, Hidelberg ,Sorbonne etc) make you a better trader.
The reason I ask is everywhere, everyone says it doesn't matter where you've done your schooling, it doesn't matter in the markets, you could have whatever background etc etc....
But the bottom line is all the good traders are from Ivy Leagues .... gee where do I start lets see Ed Seykota MIT, Niderhoffer (Harvard), George Soros (same deal), Martin Schwartz (Harvard/Oxford whatever), Jim Simons (Harvard), Monroe Trout (Ivy League), William Eckhardt (same thing), Warren Buffet (Columbia) ..... I could go on and on.
If you think about it most of the traders in the market Wizards books are Ivy League types, most of the other top traders who aren't in the market wizard books are also form elite universities.
Wondering if there's a connection between being highly intelligent, very well ( I mean Ivy League) qualified ---------> makes it easier to became a good trader.
Does it?
