Stumbled across this American reality series (yes, another reality show!!) about pit traders, brokers, new day traders, fund managers etc. It's on a HD cable channel in the US but looks like they post up the latest episode each week on the net (1/2 hour show), pretty darn good quality too.

Not for everyone but I found it entertaining once you get past the macho-american-greed-is-good tone of most of the people on the show.

Good info thanks AV.

Any idea how to download it for viewing later?
 
Not sure if you can Timmy, it's an embeded flash player. I've checked the source code and can't find anything useful there. I think there may be some sort of stream ripper that could do it..... Anybody?
 
A lesson in why you should be weary of commission hounds...

Doctorj,

Nice chart insert.

What is now most interesting is whether these brokers scaled out their clients at handsome profit - they bought in around $43-44, and it did go to $59 - or did they average up and unload at a loss, or even perhaps still holding? The next few weeks episodes should reveal all ...
 
Yeah it looks good. Shame you can't download old episodes.

Thats Prop shop looks like a joke. Whats the point of getting a newbie to visualize a good trading day when they have never seen one. Complete joke. Then grilling her about does she think she will be successful. They look like idiots who have just read some silly self help book. I already fear for her chances.
 
Guys,

I read recently where she left SMB, and trades retail FX. Jim the commision hound is with another company too - I guess they held SNDK? In any case, let's not get ahead of ourselves, and enjoy the episodes as they unfold. BTW, anyone checked out Bobby G - Adventure Capitalist, on the same site ... fantastic viewing!

They are available via bit torrent. I'm doing season one now.

Gimmie a yell if you can't find them, I'm not sure weather I can post the link here?
 
Thanks AV.
Interesting for those of us that have not worked near the industry.
