Thank you very much Curt and Alain!!!

It was actually the best talk I've ever attended -- informal, comfortable, informative, very awesome atmosphere for two-way communications!

Alain, please pass our gratitude again to your great friend -- we deeply appreciate what he brought to us, and we enjoyed his company very much!! :thumbsup:
 
Thanks a lot to Curt! The talk was awesome. It was very informative to look at the market from trader's prospective of view, as opposed to what we do in our classes. And thanks to Alain for invitinitg such a great speaker! =D>
 
Thanks Curt, very original, reaffirmed some of my doubts , questions and beliefs as a small private "speculator" from a professionals perspective, also broaden my understanding of the role of a trader and the road that can lead to a career in that field. Even though I'm getting ever more confused about it these couple of days, because knowing more makes me aware that I don't know much. Any just need to persevere.

And of course lots of bows goes to Alain for introducing your good friend to us.
 
Thanks for letting me attend the talk and inviting me for dinner after. It was very informative and I enjoyed getting to know some of you.
 
Thanks to Curt and Alain. Great speech that showed us what really happens in the trenches. I think we need more and more of these kinds of talks to get as many perspectives as possible.
