Any good?
One guy was very good, was an industry worker who went solo working from home investing his own money, guys like this can and do make a success of it (and BTW he was trading whilst dieting down to 4% bf and training, proper getbigger) drives a top notch Porsche and had just been entrusted with £50mil from a hedge fund to play with.
^Living the dream.
The others were muppets sold a dream....one NHS mum part time worker wanted to get into it, put in 6k....lost a 3rd already. Another doing it for 7yrs and always losing too, and a couple of guys who want the hiphop lifestyle and trade via rose tainted glasses, they seem to be doing ok though as the guy doing the trades is methodical in his approach and uses a more advanced approach than the other people just guessing it. an Oap group aswell lost 6k.
They covered day traders and spread betting...this is as high risk as it gets. they want to "trade" they get sold a packaged platform and given info on how to invest...but the latter is more complicated as they don't tend to give them right tools and access to really be at the front line and make decisions as quickly as hedge funds...etc.
I worked for a spread betting firm in the city, they arrange huge seminars and mock accounts for clients, I used to get complaints every week from people trying to state "unsuitable financial product sold"...etc to try and get compensation/recover lost money. Usually someone new to this, poured in 15k and in two weeks it disappeared, this was very common and the 15k loss amount also was very common.
