Well, from about the 1:45 mark it sounds a lot like a sales pitch. "Everything's definitely going to go to shit, but if you get my advice you could come out of it rich". This is also the gist of his website, which encourages people to employ him as an advisor or public speaker. Judging by his website, facebook, twitter and myspace accounts, he has a strong interest in self promotion. Judging by http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/8792829/BBC-fin... he's not really the elite financial insider a lot of people seem to be taking him for. He's just a dude with an internet connection, some trading software, a thirst for attention and a product to sell.
Admittedly I can't literally prove he hasn't been dreaming for this market crash for 3 yrs, but his "confession" clearly serves the purpose of letting the audience know how awesome he'd be at looking after their money in the forthcoming recession.
