Wall St Warriors Show: What are they doing now?

  • First Post: Jan 18, 2014 3:21pm Jan 18, 2014 3:21pm
I remember watching it a while back. Any idea of what they all are doing now?

1. Guy De Chimay - Convicted in 2011 of running a ponzi scheme.

3. Tim Sykes - Looks like he hasn't done well lately. Hence he now teaches others how to trade. Lol

3. Alex The Russian guy - He now does seminars about trading. Same as Tim, I guess.

Any others you know of?

seems all is the same wall street and commercial sellerrs here in commerical section and on all forums. no difference. i asked few guys to upload some explorer or other in commercial section as tehy are charging for the forex service and before i make decision i want to see some proof. they went mad at me block me and acuse me of being the trouble maker and say i am loser and losing trader and i should go away back to my losing account. reaction was amazing i was just trying to ask the simple questions about some proof they can trade. if you go to buy a tv or hi-fi from shop would you not look or you just walk out with teh box? i still can;t understand what it is i was doing so bad by simply asking politely.

Re: Wall St Warriors - Looks like they filmed a season 3 and never aired it. Also the first 2 seasons were pre-2008 crash, would have been much better to watch during the crash

This was a better show from England about making City traders. It shows a better reality that most people are not cut out for it. It was called "Million Dollar Traders"

I still wonder why they never released season 3 on DVD. It may not be profitable to air it but I think they still could make some money selling the complete 3 seasons. I would definitely buy it.

Didn't care for this much. It was just a bunch of whiners looking for their 15 mins of fame. Why would you take someone so clueless and try to teach them to trade anyway?

And yet he looks so professional in that video. Goes to show you that you really have to do your due diligence when investing, doesn't matter if it's a stock (Enron), hedge fund (Maddoff) or a bond (Argentina).
If you don't risk, you don't ever have to lose.

Tim Sykes is a very funny character, the guy is definitely clever and " almost honest " he made the bulk of his money trading break outs on penny stocks. First he exploited this niche going long right in the middle of the bubble, than he did the same short ( with less success) when the economy turned south.

He got lucky when he got in Wall-street Warriors. Well, he would not make it there without his meteoric success so the word lucky is maybe unfair.

When his trades, hedge-fund, and even personal life start to crumble he was smart enough to capitalize in his fame. Oddly enough his decline as a trader marked his ascendance as a teacher

Those 2 videos are priceless. There you can see Tim, being very honest about his system lack of scalability and how besides that he still make 2M per year.

The second video a few years later still shows him banking on his old fame. He says that he still make 300 grand per year just trading and I believe that.

The bottom line is that he was smart enough to recycle himself and in a weird way still have a good life of that first Bar Mitzwa money

I guess you never heard of the Turtle Traders?

You have to remember that this was made for TV so they want a wide spectrum of people.

I have. The people on the show were not very smart, unlike the turtles. They just picked a random bunch of idiots from the street. Remember the old dude? He was terrible. And the chick? She was just screwing around most of the time.

I agree he profit from his 15min of fame, i must say that his trading has fell off a little, but your right he's living a good life from his investments from Bar Mitzwa money, he still makes about 300k a year witch is not bad but a major fall from where he was projected.
