I enjoyed watching this series. You might find a part of you in one or in all of the participants. I was very impressed by the Trader/Manager Anton and the Trader/Mother Caroline.

This is last and final episode...I guess all I can say is, "How bad do you want it."

A few things.

1) Why are they using manual phone ordered entries at the trade desk? I'm assuming because it makes for better TV. Does anyone really still do this? Even on straight equity trades?

2) To be fair, I'd love to see comparable performance from "professionals" during the same time period. Warren Buffet and a whole host of other supposed gurus can claim to have prophetic abilities, but Buffet lost $26BN during the bubble burst. That period was a very difficult period in the market.

3) I wonder if they're restricted to straight equity trades. They show them "hedging" but there's I haven't seen any options, no futures, no forex, etc.

4) I wonder what Lex's true exposure is. How much profit do you think he gains from the royalties of the show? In essence, is the experiment truly independent? If he's making more than $1M on the profits from the show, then in essence, he has no risk, and therefore, it's hard to believe his behavior would be the same.

**POSSIBLE SPOILERS**









I wanted to strangle some of those fools. Especially during the 'walk-out.' That Emil dude was the worst.

And when the supervisor is telling them about why they needed to be stern placing the orders, they can't even take and understand that criticism, was just childish beyond childish.

Cleo was cute, but she was cancerous.

What an opportunity to have someone give you.
