The Dangers of Day Trading...

[RichieE]

Something to watch out for if you day trade in an arcade or small office... Note the amazingly muted reaction of the other traders...

This is a commercial from the Oslo Stock Exchange. The OBX is an index of the 25 highest turnover stocks on the OSE, which you can trade both futures and options on.

The message of the commercial is, as stated in the end of the video, that there is more action in trading the OBX than the listed stocks...

The commercial was made by a company named Harpun and sent on behalf of the OSE to a limited number of investment bankers in London to promote the OBX products. It gave the chaps in London such a good laugh that they passed it on to clients and friends and now, over a year later, it still finds its way on to numerous forums online :cheesy:

It seems like the video posted has been removed from YouTube. I've attached another link:

Hi Skog, I was told by the mods that the problem with the original video I posted was that it wasn't tagged to be 'embedded' into another site. Hence the error message. Anyway, it's a shame that it wasn't real... I could see that sort of thing happening in an arcarde...

It would liven up proceedings during a flat market. I will have to create a machine to throw paper at me so that I have an excuse to beat it up.

It would look a bit like this.

Hm, I wonder if she comes free. Steady!
