A point - but HOW long did it take him to produce that video?

I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HpUA0xW2aM earlier in the week.

It's a Larry Williams presentation on trading from a few years ago. Don't be put off by the naff opening credits, it's good. There's a slight problem early in part 6 where it goes blank for a bit but it does restart.
didn't think that could be so good, thanks :roll:

If that's from his million dollar challenge, I was there in 2004 I believe. Still don't know what to make of it. His methods are hard to reproduce, but they do seem to work for him. Didn't have a single loser the entire 3 day seminar. A couple of years later I had dinner with him in Amsterdam. He's a very fun person to be with, but I also watched him demolish someone that used his copyrighted material. No doubt that is the reason the video has been removed.

If you're thinking about getting into financials at some point - vital you watch this (one of the best 2hrs I've ever spent): https://youtu.be/L7G0OfJUON8

I watched the above video the other night too, saw it on some guys Twitter feed.

Thought it was really good, well worth a watch, the 2 hours flew by.

Although it's about financial trading, at some points he could have been talking about sports trading. The similarities between the two and the people selling services in both sectors were uncanny.

I particularly liked the bit towards the end about how to spot a fake trader, all the same tricks being used by people marketing sports trading services too.

Really enjoyable watch.

James Randi is one I can never get sick of watching. Multiple Youtube videos of him through the years, exposing psychics, astrologers, homeopaths, and all the other types of filth that prey on peoples insecurities and weaknesses.
