Chatroom gurus claiming to have $100k days -- total BS?

Do you believe chatroom gurus claims of $100,000 real money profits in 1 day?

  1. No, of course not -- report them to the SEC

    “Don’t follow the leader” yeah right that’s what they are signed up to do as they are lazy traders who just want to pay someone to tell them when to buy and when to sell.

    Unfortunately that (follow the leader) never works consistently in low float $1-$10 stocks which is what most of these people hype

    let’s see these people trade highly liquid markets like ES, and NQ instead of bottle rocket low floats and see them make $100k a day when their orders (and their followers orders) no longer move the needle when the followers buy or sell after their “long or short call of the day”

  7. Thats all fine and dandy but 99% of people who make a good living, in any arena, had a mentor. The problem is finding a good/honest one.

  9. Observance. Paul Tudor had a mentor. Michael Jordan, Ken Griffey Jr, Wayne Gretzky, Tom Brady, Mike Tyson, the list goes on. Any person who is really great at their job had a mentor - especially in trade type occupations.

    If you are looking for some exact figure like some pedantic programming autistic fuck you wont find one.

    It aint my fault you are a poor observer of life and havent put 2 and 2 together up until this point.

    I see mr Casino .

    So no one self made exists .

    All sucked at the teat of a guru.

    lol, bet there are quite a few traders here that would laugh in your face at that suggestion

    We all learn things from others, but having a 'mentor' is not required.
