Anton Kreil Explains What A Trader at an Investment Bank Does

When he talks about the bank selling the stock directly to the client is he talking about leverage? Can a client just say I want 50 million worth of APPL stock and I want the bank to pay for it?

Wow.. very informative, but i think he really need to have enough sleep..

Me neither! this is fucking gold 🪙🪙🪙🪙🪙 I literally worship this man and his team. Thank you Anton k!!

Confused on the risk trade - why would the client want them to sell the shares as opposed to an agency trade where they simply buy the stock through the trader

How do you get in????

10 y or 9y?

Sir, this is an art class...

I'd hire this guy for anything. He is hot too. 🤣

Looking a little sleep deprived

Most people who apply to investment banks don't want to be traders, they want to work on M&A deals. This talk is only relevant for like 10% of university students

Is he against hedge funds as well or does he like hedge funds?

If I was rich I’d hire him as an advisor on everything

He’s more like a life Guru

how pathetic, i hope you lives are nothing but market crashes

Call out. MD on far stage right.

lol this is like selling drugs forfilling ordersfpr clients and getting payd commission

So….investment banking is shit. Got it. 👍

Okay so as a retail trader, every stock or trade I buy and go long in, the market makers are taking a position in the exact opposite direction to deliver that to me, and often always win being short. 0% tax liability if the stock goes bankrupt from the excessive shorting. This continues to be the story of heavily shorted stocks. Brokerages are a scam even though they make it accessible for us peasants to invest. What a system.

What you are looking at is automation. Technology is automating everything that does not change over time. If you want to make a good living, you need to be in the change part of the economy. If it is still not clear, the trillion market cap companies in US are all changing companies. Meaning what they do 10 years ago is totally different than what or how they are doing it today.

This man is my favt interms of personality!!

Well they dont fucking sleep obviously

Be funny if they all just got up and fucked off home.

Basis on an audience there, most of transactions would be like „I will give you 10 sheeps for 1000kgs of curry”

The best traders have no reason to stay working for someone else

This is very insightful. Thank you ...

Love how his videos have nothing to do with any flex.real and factual information.
Thankyou for being real :)

I very much prefer Anton Kreli to Martin "ballsack" Shkreli.

Investing make up the top notch hemisphere of the wealth. that's the more reason one should save and invest to secure profit and ensure success .
How many millionaires do you know who have become wealthy by investing in saving account?
I rest my case .

Great explanation!! They hedge their risk by buying the underlying! The goal is to stay delta neutral, this is why following unusual options activity can pay off big time! Thank you for your insight.

If 10% of time is given to prop trading to make up for the losses from agency trading and the negative selection portfolio which takes 80% of time, wouldn't it make sense that there is more money to be made prop trading than taking dumb positions because of dumb clients? Maybe I'm wrong.

This is Beautifully put, and so on point. 🤑

I'm a fan of AK but in this speech he seems to revel in smashing the dreams of these people.

someone with ibank trading experience please explain to me how can you be a market maker x% of the time and be a pop trader x% of the time? there is conflict of interest here if I am that trader sitting on my desk and I see a massive buy order on let's say Tesla from let's say Blackrock, when I am trying to process the buy for blackrock (which might take 1 week), guess what I would do in my pop trading portfolio? To me execution trader and pop traders are and should be separated by a fire wall, based on logic. Again, I have not worked in an ibank trading desk, I worked in front office in the buyside but wasn't in trading so any answer from sellside traders would be good.

Good to hear some honest commentary

it sounds like a dying industry, slowly being replace by IT...

Brilliant seminars, what I get from this is that investment banking is no longer the huge money maker it once was and probably because there have been so many rogue trader cases which have badly damaged or destroyed I Banks in recent years. So the bvanks have taken away the cash risk from all but a tiny few very senior people...

Finally a detailed explanation of what traders actually do and not just some bs like they create markets.

This guy is ace

Many of you don't know what an investment bank is..... smh
1 of the biggest businesses of Investment banks are M&A.
Sales and trading has declined because of tech innovation. thus salaries lowered.
but on M&A side its slightly higher.
But everything else he says is right on and yes it does suck to go work 80 hrs a week but most bankers do it for only 2-5yrs and leave

The IB will take the 10M, charge the client 5k brokerage .Then they will use the 10M to short Apple then buy it back at 495 and keep another 100k and tell client he has his Apple at 500. The next day or week they will give the client a negative report on Apple convince him to sell it. They Sell at 497 and tell client the market moved fast and they got him out at at 492 and keep another 100k :D. They will keep doing variations of this until the client has no money. :D

As a former Investment Banker i would like to share my experience and give advice for people breaking into career of finance: Get in, work as analyst for 2-3 years and start looking for new opportunities. Typically you would preferr to work in M&A department. Why? Because other departments are waste of time and energy. Be prepared to work at least 100 hours per week and taking shit from seniors. Say goodbye to your social life, workouts and healthy lifestyle. After couple of years start applying for Senior Analyst/ Associate postions at PE firms or Corp Dev.

Thank you so much! This is gold!

I'm graduating from chemical engineering university studies soon. Currently Im applying for a position as trader at several financial companies. I have experience in technical analysis, machine learning and programming. Anybody got tips for people switching to the financial sector?

BIg job burn out by the time you are 30 then most die from heart attacks or stokes. Most are single as they work every hour possible so better ways to make money.

is the reason for 80% decline in capital/profits(?) due to stricter regulations after the 2009 crush? or, due to online passive trading platforms like Blackrock etc?

After 2008 IBs in America don't prop trade

You'd make more as a plumber,,,,,find a computer to do that.

Leader of the dark brotherhood
