Anyone heard of this "millionaire" trader: Umar Arashaf?

He appears to have some rather interesting approach to investing, is not yet 25 and I guess for someone of a working class background to have landed himself into a conformable financial position without the institutional branding of elite schooling. Is there more to him than he lets out; what could he possibly be hiding and what how common is this among people his age? https://www.instagram.com/umarashraf/?hl=en

It’s important to know that trading, especially day trading, rarely ever works as a profession. The exception is trading for a Wall St firm which is an entirely different story. That’s why very few on here drop out of college to go start doing it.

A brief search of this guy gave me a lot of insight. This guy is most likely a millionaire from starting “StockMarketLab”, which is where he likely makes most of his money from fees he charges to teaching people how to trade.

There are tons of people like this and on their Instagram they show off their amazing life so people sign up for their program. I see his pictures flying a private jet and going jet skiing in Dubai. The paradox is that most of their money is made by selling this program. What came first, the chicken or the egg?

 

Quite interesting. I was curious why someone who's extremely good at training would not just focus on doing that and not teaching boring courses to the masses; may be a sign that trading is not very reliable hence the dependence on teaching for income.

 

I'm surprised by the amount of students/general public "trading" (more like feeding money to vultures) in college, work, etc--especially with the advent of Robinhood (I'll admit I use it too on occasion)--wondering how this changes the landscape; more fools to chew on or less money for vultures to feed on with increased competition.

 

Why? That dude reeks of slime, the kind where you want to belive what he's saying but for some nagging reason you can't. Most succesful traders arent on their knees begging for recogntiom. Matter of fact, any person who does so is deeply ill.
