"Anton Kreil: From Goldman Sachs to Stock Market mentor."
By now, most people in the financial markets and financial media has heard of Anton Kreil. He was the office manager and mentor to the candidates of the BBC reality documentary “Million Dollar Traders”. The show dealt with the vagaries of the financial markets and tested the trading skills of ordinary men and women against professional traders. The show was clearly a career risk for Kreil, but it seems like the guy has been thriving on risks his whole life. Word has it that Kreil, has built up a considerable portfolio himself by taking well calculated risks in the financial markets and spotting profitable opportunities at the right time.
Before appearing in Million Dollar Traders, Kreil was a successful institutional trader. At the age of 20, Goldman Sachs hired him as a trader before he finished his undergraduate studies at Manchester University. He worked in London and on Wall Street, and traded on Goldman’s Pan European Equities Trading desk. During his stint with Goldman, Kreil built a reputation as a calculated risk taker and a go to guy in the market for sizeable liquidity. Through his keen understanding of the market, both his, and his client’s trades, paid off big time.
Kreil was then head hunted by Lehman Brothers and stayed at the company for two years. While working with Lehman, he successfully built a number one ranked European trading franchise. After two years at Lehman, he was again head hunted by JP Morgan. Still at the tender age of just 26, he was a Vice President of the JP Morgan European trading desk. Things however, didn’t work out the way Kreil had planned at Morgan. The word on the street is that he was given a substantial mandate by senior management to transform the risk culture and trading mentality of the desk. When he put this strategy into action, the difference in culture’s and trading styles became an obstacle. Morgan apparently wanted him to be long the market and Kreil refused. He left JP Morgan in May 2007, and consolidated everything he owned into cash. Rumour has it that Kreil’s conviction to be short was so high, that he used his life savings to go short the market, using his personal trading account before travelling around the world. When the rest of the world wanted to buy, Kreil was selling out.
During his journeys, Kreil travelled and lived in under privileged communities. He became convinced that everyone should be given the chance to create their own wealth independently. When his ex Goldman Sachs colleague Lex Van Dam called to tell him about his new project, this was the spark that led to their collaboration and the filming of “Million Dollar Traders”. Kreil wanted to show the world that people could make a fortune by trading wisely, intelligently, and conscientiously. The show became an instant sensation in the U.K. with over one and a half million viewers per week and was aired around the world in places as far afield as Australia. It showcased both Van Dams and Kreil’s vision that everyone who has the right training and character to face the challenges of the financial markets can succeed.
Million Dollar Traders shattered the long held myth that being a success in the financial markets can only be achieved by an elite few. The relative success of the participants in a real trading environment, with a real $1mln pot to trade, proved that the Million Dollar Traders message rings true. In fact, Kreil was able to show that ordinary men and women, if given the right training, could outperform professional traders. Today, Kreil is back in London. Through his training seminars and private consulting firm, Kreil is continuing his quest in teaching, guiding and giving hope to people who want to become independently wealthy from trading the financial markets. Based on this evidence it sounds like we should all be signing up.
