LOL.......American Express as a "NY METRO CARD" that is funny.

[julien45]

I lol'd

[MikeArtKunst]

a nice one !

[UltrasonicMailman]

Oh, this is hilarious. It reminds me of what Frank Partnoy said in his book that the only people who go into finance are those who are not good at anything else. So true, because this guy can calculate the convexity of a bond but can't think of vacuuming a rug before using the lint roller. If this were real, it would be even more hilarious and would explain why we're in this crisis although I would not be surprised if some brokers actually live like this now after a layoff.

[ELI2A8ETH]

haha, very well done.

[tg4nfl]

really funny. nice job

[Jolllyjean]

[ILostMyBonnie]

....you guys know this is a joke video right?

[ne1l007]

Bull5hit look at his house.. how can he be a trader.

[h2olacky]

I think you missed the implied distinction between investors and traders that I was trying to make. In Benjamin Graham's book, The Intelligent Investor, the first chapter is dedicated to making a distinction between investing and speculating. When you call someone a "trader" the word itself infers that it is not uncommon for the person to frequently exchange assets, which doing so in the stock market would be highly speculative, opposed to the more tried-and-true means of investing.

[acerplatanoides89]

There is a slight difference between a trader and an investor. Traders invest for short term profits and tend to trade securities frequently. They also pull riskier moves and leverage positions. Investors meanwhile invest for the long term. They build diverse portfolios that will build wealth over time to provide a future source of income. Either can be rich, but investors have far less risk. And yes, Warren Buffet is an investor, not a trader. He seeks value in stocks instead of riding trends.

[750BruteForce4x4i]

@ne1l007 Investors buy stocks usually for the long haul. But being call an investor doesn't necessarily mean that. It could mean some who just invests their money. A trader however can mean some one who buys and sells stocks in a short period, or buys and sell speculative stocks. However, being a trader could just mean some one working at a firm who sells stocks.

[spaceclubba]

traders are rich you idiot.

[750BruteForce4x4i]

@h2olacky There usually both rich.

[dalebrister]

You are a criminal. You are responsible for this economic crisis. You are a phoney person. I would not hire this man. He seems like a lying thief. I hope that you get used to $18k a year you metrosexual.

[callingeuterpe]

[virulentv]

I guess the actor was soo good that many viewers here couldn't understand that this vdo is a satirical outtake on the ibankers/brokers/etc.

[tmbdtuff]

How could anybody be dumb enough to take this seriously. His food was on fire, and he ran down the street tied to a plastic bag!

[jonnybravo8]

people are stupid like hell. they listen to britney, miley and all that crap. they buy mcdonalds etc. people are retards

I dont think this is real.. Just look at his house.. if he worked at lehman he would clearly have a nicer house.

[julianIsMeok]

ha,ha,ha! holly shit, they captured the essence of being a broke broker. The looser is watching the Ellen show! hahaha!

[bitterlemon13]

haha funny but was that guy really an employee or is he just an actor?

[thehistorysage]

Pricless. So funny.

[stacygulick]

are they picking on people who are laid-off or people who are upper-crust, white-collar slaves?

I'm looking for partners, but I would NOT take this guy. Must be at least 18 years of age, able to work in the US, and know how to vacuum your own floor. lol

[gregart999]

★★★★★ [just watch it again] ★★★★★

well done

[West22nd]

Hilarious!!! Please give us more! This could be a mini-series!

[wgc5]

people shouldn't get so worked up about this video. he's not a real person, he's an actor... its a made up story.

besides, anyone who was a "broker" as he claims (I think he meant trader) who worked there for 10 years would have made enough to have a nicer apt then that. looks more like the apt of a 1st of 2nd year kid out of college, not someone who made any sort of money.

[kewkykook]

wooow we know that you tool

u must be real rich bitch u should buy urself a spin on a disease infested prostitute  Not bad video man i laughed my ass off!!

[johnemm77]

Uhm... let's see. Could it be that he's always ridden in limos, town cars and taxis and never set foot in a subway station? Nah, nobody could be that out of touch...

[alexdj24]

why is he swiping his Am-Ex at MTA booth, what ever happened to metro card?

[kirjath]

not funny at all

[Beccathepromomami]

brilliant!

this guy should be on the colbert report or the daily show....

if i knew this person (the character, not the actor) i'd punch him in the face and then give him a warm hug.

[babiebear]

you can find a job easily with 10 years of experience, dude! lol this video is so funny.

[IMURHERO2]

To all you idiots who think he was an actual broker, and not just an actor, your stupidity is the reason I became rich in the profession portrayed in this parody.

Keep being dumb, it's working for you, and me.

[BabuyKaKiller]

Sure you did. Were you selling index annuities?

[IMURHERO2]

I am taking my third dump of the day.
