That's awesome to hear! Economic history is a bit of a departure from what we've done in the past but I'm glad you're enjoying it!

2015-03-14 10:17:07 +0000 UTCYou've actually got it 100% correct there. We've tried to break it down to make it as easy to understand as we could, but folks like John Blunt are (evil) masterminds and they were deliberately creating a confusing mess of investments because it kept other people from figuring out they were being lied to. So when something goes over your head, that's because it was designed to do so by Blunt and his ilk.

2015-03-14 10:16:01 +0000 UTCI'm having a hard time trying to follow along myself. From what I understand the stocks themselves are worth nothing. Despite how much there being sold for. They don't have any way of backing up the stock with actual money. I think I'm not 100% on that.

2015-03-13 14:48:39 +0000 UTCAnother great episode! I'm sitting in awe at every twist and every idea that makes Blunt another million. I think it's most exciting than all the previous ones, just because it is all setting up to a major fall. Looking forward to the next one!

2015-03-13 11:41:46 +0000 UTCI think Blunt at 00:40 would rather see sterling pound signs. Let's be historically accurate, people! Joke mode on, no worries. ;-) Great episode!
