OK, I don’t watch this guy’s stuff all the time but he seems smart and he shines light on bullshit. This video is about a youtuber Cody “Whistlin’ Diesel” allegedly day trading with some guy named Alex. As you can imagine, Alex is selling a scam.

FOREX is no joke and there is apparently an entire industry of people scamming financial newbies with prop accounts. That’s terrifying. If you’re thinking about your money and want to make some quick, please avoid this bullshit.

    The golden rule of money making tips: if this was a successful way to make money, why are they selling it to you instead of just using it to make money?

    This was my turning point on scams ala Robert kiasaki Kiyosaki and Rich dad Poor dad paid conventions. If you’re making so much money doing it, why the fuck are you creating competition for yourself!

      That’s why I’ve been an MMM devotee for years. He isn’t trying to make money off of you. He’s just trying to brainwash you into riding a bicycle.
