Yep. To all you people who shriek "has a liberal ever won an argument without screaming 'bigot'"?

Or "racism is not an issue anymore!"

Yup.

Segregated school events. Even if they do claim to be "not official".

In 2013.

In one of the largest cities in America.

Good job, South.

Seriously, can you guys please secede already?

I'll try to make this brief. I've been researching the stock market since I was about 15. I'm not terribly good at math, but my stocks do well. When 'analysts' and 'experts' said the iPhone wouldn't sell well, I invested in Apple. When those same experts said the Zune would beat the IPod... I ignored them and saw the Zune fail. Markets are determined by consumers, and I've always had an excellent ability to predict market shifts and trends. My question is- is there a career where that is beneficial? I spent a year in business school to get my MBA in Finance, but most of my class work has to do with accounting principles and interest rates. What I'm interested in is market shifts and trends; the sociology and psychology that lead to perception and eventual market fluctuation.

But, nearly every financial job I look at involves selling (edward jones, new york life, et al) or a lot of asset analysis, i.e., heavy math work to look at available funds and dept/credit ratios.

Who studies the psychology of markets, or at least, analyzes trends in a less mathematical and more pragmatic way? And what would I need to get into one of these jobs? I guess I could simply use my knowledge to carefully monitor my own investment portfolio, but that's not a long term career goal, and I'm looking at a career shift. Thanks for any help you guys and girls might be able to give me!
