1. If he learned a bit more about ISP's and the internet he could have got dial up for 1p a minute and not a £1.:)
   
   To busy making millions i suppose,so he wins:)
2. Archbishop is there any body MORE greedy than the Catholic church???
3. Not a single black face in that whole audience....daaamn
4. I'd say eFlip or Zen Arbitrage is the best commodity trading software for books. You can get better returns with that that than most other commodities.
5. Grew up in Liverpool mustve been a right private school with that posh accent
6. What makes you a good trader is making good trades. Not that hard.
7. Don't need to hear nothing general what is not telling me how to make money .hate the stupid accent.
8. Actually "nothing interesting about that person - bin" is something that happens outside of GS too. Everybody wants in so they can be choosy. He makes the impression of liking it somehow
9. Anton's the real 007 of financial markets of our time
10. Join the league of winners now as i introduce you furtherly
11. I think the person interviewing Anton works for Anton now... I think I recognise the way he speaks in some of Anton's other videos...
12. My understanding of this, is this video is pretty dated. The financial industry has attached itself fully to the technology revolution, and as we know technology nowadays changes by the second, so from the information out there, basic requirements needed now to trade are an understanding and knowledge of Math, Physics and Computer languages/programing, (speed trading is all the rage now) a graduate education or Masters degree at a minimum. PHD's have an entry to an interview, but from there your on your own. Also Globalization, in this industry where services are provided worldwide, candidates are available all over the globe. So yea, pretty damn competitive.
13. Loved the answer at 10:10! Learn through failure, and just do it!
14. This guy looks so stressed out.
15. Weak interviewer , seems like a college kid trying to accumulate credit for class.. doesnt ask out of heart or interest.
16. tough crowd
17. mi

    p .n
    7 6. ^ -, ? pppp
    n =l. m
18. Why do people want to work for a Bank that will use them for their own gain? Just trade your own account like the Turtle Traders and you have no upper income limit unlike with an employer. College graduates are so stupid.
19. He's basically saying that you need EXPERIENCE. You can't just show up and have no actual trading experience but only have a phd in finance or what ever it simply doesn't work that way. So I guess it's better to have best of both trading experience and a degree.
20. no trading firm is hiring college grads with good track records in trading...they are hiring developers who can write algorithms. they are trading quicker than you can blink and in amounts that no one can compute at the rate they are being executed.
