I was browsing YouTube tonight and I came upon these interesting videos. These videos summarize the results of the TV show Million Dollar Traders on the BBC network.
The idea behind the show is Hedge Fund Manager Lex Van Dam takes a group of people from a wide range of backgrounds and teaches them to trade. This is almost exactly what Richard Dennis did with the Turtles, as outlined in the original Market Wizards book and mentioned in author Jack Schwager’s online video.
Among the potential traders in this group are a Computer Programmer, Boxing Promoter, Stay-At-Home Mom, Military Officer and a Veterinarian. The focus of these videos is to summarize which people were the best traders and why.
Who do you think did the best? How much does background and education play a role in their ultimate success or failure as a trader? Watch the videos to find out.

Pretty interesting huh? Just goes to show that you can be a trader too!
