17 y/o Trader killing it... apparently

Pretty surprised I haven’t seen this posted yet… very little details, but seriously… the fuck.

Bromion and Itera, take notes… of what a BSD really looks like.

Already exposed as fake. Catch up to the internets, homeslice.

And, Igor posted it a few hours ago: http://www.analystforum.com/forums/water-cooler/91337556

Haha epic fail

lol I could have told you that wasn’t real just the way the article is written. for one, it didn’t name his prime broker. i can assure you he is not slinging 70 mill out of a scottrade account. this is an article for people who don’t know anything about the stock market but want to believe.

Oh by no means did I expect it to be real (look at my title), my main epic fail was not checking other threads thoroughly. Igor needs to be more explicit with his titles lol. Bastard.

I mean, what kind of rates of return would you need to get to 70 million off of even a decent sized trust fund by the time you are 17?

I know a guy who legitimately made 25 million by the time he was 24 years old in the futures market where he bet 100% of his capital about a dozen times in a row or something and came up with huge gains each time. Unfortunately he kept going and lost all of it in one trade… because YOLO. That is a true story and I’ve seen the records.

^ that sounds incredibly painful

^ Did he run through a window or chose to go elegantly out of a balcony?

No, I think he drank heavily for a while and then started over. He’s at around 5 million last time I heard. I wouldn’t be surprised if he loses it all again.

He wouldn’t have reached 24 million if he wasnt a gun slinger.

I know someone that reached legendary status, lost it all, got back up, lost it all again and now is on his way back up. Nothing like 24 million though, more like he peaked at 6 million.

72 Million cheeky

yeah that’s what I was thinking - if he made 70 million in a couple years, he is going to lose 200 million pretty quick.

This was just on CNBC, ha!

Hoax

MI “listen baby, im rich you should sleep with me”

class slut “you’re not rich, you live in queens like everyone else with yours parents”

MI “baby, i got 8 figures and 8 inches for you”

CS “hahaha dream on”

**moral of story, all of this could have been avoided if she just would have put out**

If he really did make it all up I sort of respect that. How many high school seniors are capable of trolling the national media and creating a s–t storm of false news? That’s pretty impressive.

I can imagine 10 years ago, this whole conversation is being conducted on ICQ.
