  1. I'm not sure how legit this guy is but it's a very cool webcast.

    I’ve listened to couple interviews with him on Chat with Traders, and seen him in VPro documentary.
    He was a great trader when it was easy to trade, then turned big time hustler selling stuff and promoting himself.
    He made most money in 2008 when lots of stocks went to pennies and many traders either made or lost huge amounts of money. He’s still a good trader but I saw many signs of him losing his edge and became less impressed. He’s still riding on his old fame from 2008. Of course he’ll have some great wins, but with money coming from clients you can throw some of it at attempts to show off.
    Still, he manages other traders and should be in the top 10%, though not sure about top 1% or better.

  4. Good to know what others think.

    For me, what was interesting was the way he talked about losing and how he double down on his win. I imagine some on this forum have had that conversation with themselves.

  8. Btw this webcast was from 2013. Also I saw a recent one from him in November of this year where he was basically flat across two accounts. So pretty transparent.
