I get access to S&P capital IQ pro through my uni if anyone wants to discuss financials with me. After may 21st tho when my exams finish

Eher eine Dystopie für mich, bei der mir meine Einmaligkeit und meine Verfügungsgewalt über meine Ressourcen (Geld, Wissen, Talente, Zeit) möglichst genommen werden soll für die Ziele anderer.
Der nächste Schritt auf der Gerechtigkeitsleiter wäre der Ausgleich ungleicher Startverhältnisse schon lange vor dem Vererben. Ich stelle mir vor, man dürfte mit seinem Kind nicht ohne Akzent sprechen (Benachteiligung gegenüber Ausländern), nicht für die Schule üben (Benachteiligung gegenüber faulen Eltern), sonntags keine Ausflüge machen (Benachteiligung gegenüber Eltern, die am Wochenende arbeiten müssen), keine Studientipps geben (Benachteiligung gegenüber Eltern, die nicht studiert haben).
Ob ich jetzt IQ 140 erbe oder eine 2 Zimmer Wohnung - beides bringt mir einen Vorteil. Jedoch wird nur das eine (zumindest theoretisch) besteuert. Warum nicht beides besteuern? Einfach alle Menschen scoren nach ihren genetischen Vorteilen, Erbe und Vorteilen beim Aufwachsen und darauf dann extra Steuern. Oder besser noch, alle Übervorteilten müssen ein Zusatz-Jahr ableisten nach der Schule als Ausgleich für all die Vorteile, die sie im Leben haben werden. Das könnte man in Dtl. auch gut mit dem Mangel an Pflegekräfte für die Rentner in den kommenden Jahren verbinden.
Gerecht wäre es auch, wenn die Forschung die Gene für Fleiß oder Geduld finden und bei allen auf den gleichen Stand setzen würde ab Geburt. Jegliche vererbten positiven Charaktereigenschaften sind ja auch super ungerecht.
Oder vielleicht bekommen auch alle Eltern jeweils 1000 Punkte wie beim Generieren eines Rollenspielcharakters und können die Punkte dann aufteilen auf verbesserte Genetik und gute Aufwachsbedingungen. (Soll ich für mein Kind besser "gute Feinmotorik" oder "Eltern haben immer Zeit bei Problemen" nehmen?). Das hätte den Vorteil, dass nicht alle Menschen ganz gleich sind wie im vorherigen Szenario. Aber was, wenn die Eltern dann alle 1000 Punkte für schönes Haar ausgeben? Wäre dann eigentlich auch wieder ungerecht.

So you think we should be forcefully medicated by the government with a known neurotoxin that has been demonstrated to reduce the IQ of children and is an industrial waste via our drinking water?

>What’s especially frustrating is that so many people don’t seem to realize just how hollow and replaceable many white-collar jobs already are.
Those jobs as a society, were not jobs, but welfare. 
As a society it comes down to resource management. And a lot of these pointless jobs have existed, to an insane degree, literally subsidized by the society. It was always an illusion and it cannot be sustained indefinitely. 
A job proper for the base society, adds value/resources to the society in some form. In theory, it would at at least 1% more than it "costs." 
This is not the case in this society and with many of our so called "jobs". Most of these jobs are like hiring your kid at the family business to wash clean dishes to give them something to do and a feeling of use they don't understand. It's like how my toddler has her "own controller" that doesn't connect to anything but she plays games with me. 
These people are welfare recipients, not workers. They're actually far worse than welfare recipients as we typically know them, because, these people suck up wayyyy more money per capita. 
In the factory, they will be adding value. In the office they are in many cases even reducing value. 
>College enrollment is still strong, but the reality is that many of these students will never get to use their degrees in a meaningful or economically viable way.
Most haven't been anyway and that's the entire complaint of student loan saddled people screaming poverty for the last 15 years. You have 98 IQ folks with 3 useless degrees who can't live life. Yay. 
Law and finance will still he kicking and software, just not the lowest end bottom barrel folks. They weren't adding much value anyway. 

“The aliens, they love MAGA and hate the dishonest low IQ left. We’re gonna do great things together. We’re gonna build the most wonderful starships ever built in the history of our country.”

the ones i know from a top ivy, they are smart enough to look at the rest of ivy league peers at my school thinking they are despicably stupid. there is this guy who started making usamo in eighth grade, for 5 times. theres this guy who never showed up to classes, missed half of homeworks, never studied, showed up to tests only to get one of the top scores. theres also this guy who has two pubs in top theory conferences as undergrad (in theory its common for phd grads to only have a few top conference pubs)
its not that schools matters for them at all. just turned out people like them attend my school. idt the school helped them in any way whatsoever. im easily top 15% at my school on paper, but the least of them is at least 10 times smarter than me, so idk what IQ that corresponds to

I’ve only met one quant and he’s just starting but I don’t think it’s purely an IQ thing. Networking and social skills plays a huge role. If you want the top jobs you need to be in a HYPSM environment and get firms to like your personality. From what I can tell, the only other path in is to win like first place in an international collegiate math competition. There’s probably definitely more experienced people out there with better insight than me tho.

145 IQ

I use IBKR TWS in Canada but my commissions are about $20 to $50 per day (10 to 20 trades). So today I setup Questrade IQ Edge to save myself hundreds a month. The software looks pretty good, and it has level 2, time and sales, hotkeys, news etc. I've read the hotkeys are not the greatest. I'm not sure about execution speed. Time will tell. Once I get some money transferred and take a few trades I will report back.

What IQ or intelligence level is needed for quant jobs?

I know exactly who I am—but you? You’re making it painfully clear who you are. I went through your profile. Let me paint the picture for you...
low IQ, big ego, zero ability to see past your own bias. Nuance might as well not exist in that tiny, hollow mind of yours. Your brain doesn’t process information, it just files it into ‘agree’ or ‘disagree’ based on the tribal flag you’re waving. You sound like one of those people who mistakes confidence for competence, who thinks loud and tribally conformed opinions substitute for actual knowledge.
How’s that for insults dumbass?
I’m out, don’t bother replying cause you don’t want to read the things I took out.

We're esp dumb like if you look up global IQ (yes, yes I know) we are shockingly low for an industrialized nation.

Lately the sub's getting flooded with clearly edited profit screenshots. Some of y’all out here posting 1L+ intraday gains with zero context, pixelated fonts, and cropped tighter than a Tinder profile pic.
Let’s be real — this sub’s actually decent compared to the circus that is Twitter or Telegram. Don’t turn it into another LARP-fest.
If you’re genuinely making money and wanna flex (which is fair, this is $Beta after all), at least post verified P&L — Sensibull, Zerodha console, screen recordings, whatever adds some credibility.
Not asking for your IT returns, just don’t insult our collective IQ with copy-pasted green numbers.
Stay sharp. Stay based. And may your SLs never hit.

wtf brain rot crap is that - you seem super low IQ

Someone with a 135 IQ would know that Elon doesn’t have a 200+ IQ. 15 points is one standard deviation. That is almost 7 standard deviations from the norm. IQ tests do not measure that high. there is no test for “smartest boy on Earth”, which is what 7 standard deviations would be.
What is with you sycophants and claiming people have a 200+ IQ? Say 160 or some other reasonable “genius” number. Make it believable, this just comes across as bait.

Nice counter argument, very thoughtful high IQ comment from you.

“The first quarter of 2025 was a very strong and encouraging start to the year as revenue nearly doubled, up 92% primarily due to acquisitions and organic growth across both our software and drone segments,” said CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D. “During the first quarter we launched our Drone as a Service or DaaS business segment with a vision to have a national footprint in the US and globally.”
“Although expenses increased during the first quarter, these are investments intended to grow the company over the long-term, namely in marketing, manufacturing, product development and testing capacity, which we believe will yield future rewards.
“We believe that this quarter’s performance demonstrates that our strategy to disrupt legacy businesses like land surveys via a DaaS business model is on track. Our momentum is strong, and we are well positioned to expand our range of drone services with a pipeline of over 20 acquisitions over the next 12 months,” concluded Dr. Passley.
Additional information is available from ZenaTech’s 6K filing on the [SEC EDGAR website](https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=fYUblHePa2jGbjye2zT2pn__n0FC8QbCWdHmdvO-0sh_WltTov4fiHe3EIQ1m3LNWOdvdbHpq5lP4YsIOYtTF7qbFSolI7a-_UxN3orz-G0lDeKtu332f48hpv7xyAYe).

Because all the nice things I have are a result of my high IQ, can confirm:
There will be no winners, because once everyone is smart, nobody is and we will finally have the Great Equalizer that the Colt Single Action Army revolver aspired to be.
