Did anyone archive the Martin Shkreli video where he shows his Excel workflow? Think what you will of the guy, but that was one of the most info-dense videos I've seen, and it's a shame that YT saw fit to remove it.

His tutorials were amongst the best I have seen on financial analysis. Problematic character but genius level skills and talents that he was willing to share.

Why do you say this? I'm close to people in finance and they derided the videos and said they were the equivalent of showing off how fast he could parse filings into Excel when real pro have scads of solutions that automate it at scale. The view is that he's a criminal with a folk hero reputation for people who were dazzled by his attitude and his facility with Excel.

Living among the gentry with good private performers is fine, but the peasants have to amuse themselves with the traveling minstrels in the fair ... their technique may not be the best.

No, he had a ~90min video that was purely overviewing how he uses excel. Wasn't really about finance anymore, and isn't available on youtube.
There's one from him that might be adequate in my public folder on keybase.

Doesn't look to be the one, its analysing eBay in Excel, he navigates Excel well but its in no way a tutorial, there's no description to how he's doing anything. Nor is it particularly advanced.
