Quote from fullblotter:
I'm 100% certain this ia a PR stunt. first of all, he is friends with the owner. this is huge advertising for the owner, the club and this kid. second of all any real trader would smell the bullshit below from a mile away:
"Despite his tender years, Alex is a name to watch out for in the city; an expert in the UK economy, he works the currency markets, regularly trading millions."
"regularly trading millions"??? this doesn't even make sense. and besides is "millions" supposed to be impressive in a market where you can 100/1 leverage?? this is the kind of mumbo jumbo someone who is not a trader would think a trader would say.
and in the article he brags that his salary is now in the six figure bracket. first of all, six figures is nothing. second, someone who would make a huge bonus that could afford a night out like this would not point to their salary, since it would be a pittance compared to the bonus.
most importantly, a successful trader would not be "mentoring" other people. only failed traders do this.
total bullshit.
