  4. It was entertaining in a not-so-healthy funny kinda way.

    1. The complete douche bag (excuse the vulgarity) guy shown exercising and "given 50MM to trade by a fund", yeah right... What a despicable scumbag, as noted by others here .

    2. The two black dudes OMG funniest thing I ever saw, the way that it is taken for granted that it requires a heckuva lot of skill/knowledge/experience to discretionarily speculate for a living. But oh, brother A raises funds and brother B is tasked w/ trading ('cos it's just as easy as deciding to do it) OMFG too funny :confused:. I especially love the part about trading with blinders on 'cos by the time he would get the news it's too late anyways. The man must be a prince of random data forecasting (oxymoron)

    3. The housewife... Cleaned out and on to other follies by now.

    4. The perpetual looser w/ physiological ticks/issues. Very sad to see.

    5. The old guys. Gotta have a hobby.

    Why ANYBODY that is not a bank employee front-running / scalping clients would choose to trade FX intraday actively w/ leverage is beyond me. These are the fool's fools
     
  5. I hated that gym guy too haha
