    Who has started out with nothing, learned how to trade on their own, and now makes $?

    New video of a hedge fund manager blowing up and IB liquidating his margin account

    The videos aren't the only thing about this thread that's getting old. BTW, why is this in the Retail thread? You'd think that someone who has been here as long as and had as many sockpuppets as the OP would know better.
