My buddy used to work for a Boiler Room type firm. Because they were registered in US, they preferred to work their magic on wealthy Europeans. I assure you they did pretty well. Maybe risk taking is more accepted in American culture, but people are the same everywhere.
maxinger, I admire your persistence. Questions: 1. How did you learn how to trade on your own? Thanks
Kinda well massively against governments interfering with people and what they do, people need to learn the hard way and the people that know how to trade shouldn't be stopped to protect those that don't.
Agreed, I started off trading stocks simple swing method, profitable from the start, then I went onto Yahoo and got told how to make more $$$$'s and started losing, then had to unlearn all the BS from idiots that hype there 1 profit but lose 5 times and keep quite. Taught me to counter trend trade, took me years to undo that damage.
A government exists to protect it's citizens. Laissez-faire capitalism is fine and dandy but the purpose of the government is to prevent this kind of thing. There is nothing Laissez-faire about people taking millions from retirees under the guise of lying about social security/being in jail/etc isn't what libertarians mean by "leave me alone". Your statement seems to imply you are okay with people being defrauded through their own ignorance? I'm sure your tune would change if the shoe was on the other foot.
There was a Doctor, Nigerian scammer took him for millions, clever people do stupid stuff to. I disagree the government should be there to provide health care not financial care, they've got it the wrong way around, people need to learn from there own mistakes sadly, it's the only way to learn. I suppose in the usa they protect you money wise, so you can pay your medical bills.
Spoken like someone who has never seen the damage scammers do. It's always funny to see people who have never been affected by something talking tough. Typically boomers and their brainwashed children. You'll see, when you're old and senile and a sharp scammer takes you for all you're worth, you were wrong. Unfortunately, you are right in one aspect. People must learn from their own mistakes. You surely will too. You can't expect to stay abreast of every possible avenue a scam will come from. When you get yours, as all tough talkers do, I hope you remember to vote for consumer protections. Where do you hail from? I'm sure I could find 10 criticisms of your nanny state for each of your criticisms of the US.
Never been scammed, if I ever am then I'll shut up and take it like a man. So your against free health care and happy for people to lose everything to pay medical bills to stay alive, but pro government protection from scammers. Tell us how was you scammed and how much did they take you for?
I titled this post “an educator” because that’s who Anton Kreil is, or seems to be. It just may be ironic that his students talk about being previously trained by other educators and sometimes scammers, while I don’t think Kreil, or anyone else for that matter, can help them. As for Kreil himself, I was initially impressed with him based on his popular video that was circulating online couple years ago, but later I realized he can’t possibly offer more than anyone else. People trained by him won’t suddenly start becoming rich as they hope, and many will end up unhappy with what they’ve got from him. At least he seems to have warning them in the video not to use leverage, so if they learn just that one thing then possibly it will save them from catastrophic losses and give them time to learn valuable lessons on their own without losing everything again. But selling (for $thousands of dollars) promises of actually making money in the stock market has dubious value and Kreil should know this.
ultimately, it all boils down to having realistic expectations about the returns you could generate. That's why most people deep inside still *want to believe scammers.
