If you were able to find a door and take a peek inside Malcom Pryor’s skull what you would find in there would be really very interesting indeed.
An Oxford graduate in Greats - he tired of the Classics, then bored of being an accountant and a treasurer and found happiness in Bridge and spread-betting.
Not only is that now what he does for a living but, good news for you, he has written a book about it. A book that iii users can get £6 off. What could be better?

I do. The mini-shows are quick succinct and generally I find them helpful. Would like to see a better contextual search tool however, to allow me to search the films based on subject, rather than interviewee or company (often I am uninformed enough not to put 2+2 together).
I received this book through III and I found it generally nice and easy to use and a good introduction to spread betting. However I find that it lacks sufficient detail in places such as which prices to use for identifying setups etc. Maybe it’s deliberately sketchy so that Malcolm can sell his training courses but I really hope that he will bring out a new edition.
Ethical, green or Socially Responsible Investing. You can use whatever nomenclature you like and you can view it how you like - sceptically or warm and fuzzy.
But almost nobody has cracked the concept of really making money out of companies who genuinely put something back into the society from which they draw life. Until now.
Rod Schwartz, of Catalyst, once the number one equity analyst in the US, really knows what social businesses are about, and how we make money out of them…
Angela Knight is a pretty formidable individual. An engineer, a former managing director and then as a Conservative MP she served as economic secretary to the Treasury in the Major government.
Losing her Sheffield seat in 1997 she became head of the Association of Private Client Investment Managers (APCIMS) before moving last year to head the British Bankers’ Association.
A baptism of fire you may think. It may not surprise you to learn that she has some strong views. Whether or not you agree with them is a different matter…
Is gambling illegal in the amjority of the US or not?
Wayne Lochner seems to contradict himself on this point.
Given the recent press and resulting drop in the share price at Betbrokers, I cannot understand their statements regarding not having adequate funds to cover bets. They claim to broker the bets, i.e. match punters to bookies and take a commission on the stake. Why do they need to cover the bets?
Absolutely fascinating listening to the measured tones and considered comments of this (now legendary) manager. I’ve been investing in his fund (and consequent expertise) for many a year now and am delighted to be able to see him ‘up close’ at last. Long may he reign over this fund. P.S. More fund managers please iBall if possible - considered comments from Messrs Geffen, Konstantinov, Allsop, Awdry and Erhmann at this time would be very interesting…
Having invested in Japan unit trusts and investment trusts for many years, and seen my investments consistently eroding, I found myself better informed (and even more optimistic)after this interview, even though it was only a short one. It will make a difference to my strategy over my Japanese investments.
The old cliché has it that as far as the stockmarket is concerned one should go away in May and come back again on St Leger Day. What? And miss out on all the fun? Reeling retailers. Broken banks. Crunching credit. There’s so much more than mere capital accumulation, yield and dividend. Not only are there bargains out there but also more than the odd laugh.
