Very true, there would be plenty of issues but there usually is with anything. GameStop was a one off but I get what you're saying... I think just like the forum moderates itself, so would a live stream, once one happens there will be pools of them so people will naturally select which one they engage with.

I really do think its a good idea if everyone is at the same level or starting out. Problem you'll have is everybody will be looking at any profitable traders to mirror their trades, and that's why I don't think it would attract traders who make decent profits. For them it wouldn't be worth the aggravation in real time imo.

I signed up to a football trading service years ago because it had a very good database. These days anyone can knock up a detailed database but what this guy did was for about €50 a month he would list the matches to trade at the start of the week and he explained everything very well so the majority of subscribers would happily trade these games knowing what to look for and usually be able to make a few quid. But there were others who just wanted to mirror his trades and be told in real time what he was doing and why. This was practically impossible because he could be trading 5-6 matches at the same time and while he tried his best to update everyone in real time through the chat room there were always trades that people missed because he didn't have time to update them. Some people complained that it was all a fix and a waste of money just because for whatever reason they weren't arsed to put the work in themselves.

That's a good example of giving somebody the tools to make a profit but them still not wanting to do any work for themselves and to be walked though everything step by step. They say give a man a fishing rod and he'll feed himself but some people want the fishing done for them.
very good point

Maybe we should create a discussion area called "Beer Talk" as a sub category to General Discussion.

I posted the above knowing that more than one was clearly a 1.01 shot and great value at that as the true price was 1.001.

If you care to watch the videos Peter produces, you may or may not notice that he isn't simply placing random bets, he is studying and evaluating the market before placing his bets and taking his opening position. He has developed a skill learnt with time, patience, effort and intelligence. Some people have those much needed attributes and some people don't.

To climb to the top of the ladder you need to take the steps yourself. Others can encourage you, but you need to be the one putting one foot above the previous foot to get to the top.
