Anyone hear about this !?!
A group of Essex based oil traders who collectively (9 of them ), made £491 million quid in 1 day !i
Read an article on them today
One paragraph made me smile
"They live in large houses with all mod cons, drive flashy motors and holiday in Marbella. Spend their weekends playing golf and watching West Ham"
Mostly young kids, early to mid 20s...WTF !!!?!!!

Can we expect a takeover bid from them?

Good for them I say!!
From what’s in the paper they haven’t done anything illegal.

Good luck to them, but really, just by sitting behind a computer and gambling on the price of oil they get rewarded, sorry not a proper job really.

Speculating & gambling are two very different things.

The Essex ‘dumb blonde’ jokes were started by the public schoolboys working in the City in the early 80’s.
The east end chaps ...many with Jewish or Hugenoet lignage were born traders, could think on their feet, and often out-performed their educated counterparts.
We all know people that have made a bucket load of cash, also a few that squandered the dough as fast as they made it.

I read about this and it made me chuckle. I hope they have an absolute ball. I could have predicted at least one sour remark from a bitter git along the lines of "It's not like really working for a living". Well if it was easy we'd all be doing it.

Exactly nurse... bit different gambling clients money than your own... i would not have the balls to lay the lot on the line like my mate and co did and have... remember a conversation with my mate when we popped out for an indian with our other halves
“Hows work”?
“Well up until Friday it was great... 70k up... lost 65k on friday...”
“so just up 5k on the week then... shame”
He loved the trading pit massive played... when he went to trading screens he hated it

Brilliants story and I hope they pull it off, totally wrong if not. I think one hedge fund made about 2 billion doing this off 20 mill investment, it they are a major player. This lot would of been better off not betting so big, more chance of them staying under the radar for say 100 mil

Exactly.
Was up the City donkeys years ago. Had some trader/dealer mates. All east enders. Used to talk in telephone numbers. I think our early betting shop days held em in good stead.
Good luck to this lot. Quality (especially in this day and age).

Fucking priceless on here sometimes. Everyone hates BLM because it's "Marxist" and hates city traders because speculating your own money on market trends is "not a proper job ".
The only way to win on here is to sit around, stroking your beer gut, cunting off absolutely everything you see or read about that isn't exactly like you.
