My guess is that it's much less than $875,000. Bone has been an ET sponsor for over 10 years and I assume back in 2002 his course was much cheaper. Spread that out over 13 years or so and the actual figure will be inline with most educational businesses. :)

The EUR could just as easily have appreciated against the CHF, nobody knows in advance how the market will react to news - the markets are irrational. But hindsight is very powerful, it gives a sense of the event been predictable. Your posts to this thread are good examples of Hindsight Bias...

Complete rubbish. The OP obviously doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. :)

Fitness model and actor Greg Plitt was killed by a Metro train in Burbank, California during a photo/filming shoot. Below is one of his videos.
