Those examples don't make sense in this case. The coaches you mentioned joined ESTABLISHED organizations that have a pay structure already in PLACE. Using your sports analogy--it would be akin to one of those coaches CHARGING TO COACH pee wee football !! sure, they will do it for FREE but it would be frowned upon if someone of their stature CHARGED.
So Don should teach for free because it's not an established organization. So what? Parcell's could still do it for free and in your logic he should. He is probably a very wealthly man with a great retirement program and now we have an individual trader who doesn't work for an established organization and he should teach for free. Ambien, please give me the number and address of the place you teach for free? Trading or not--where do you teach for free. Bob
Your misunderstanding. THE TURTLES DIDN"T PAY TO LEARN!!! now, is that clear enough???? ever wonder why?? BECAUSE THE TRAINERS WERE WEALTHY AND MADE MONEY FROM THE MARKETS I have an ultra succesful hedge fund manager who is my mentor and many others--- DO WE PAY HIM?? NO WAY!!!! There is no comparision to your examples and what is going on here. Succesful traders simply don't charges NEWBIES for training unless they NEED THE MONEY!
NOBODY does anything for FREE !!! Especially in the financial world. Mother Teresa's are very very few and far between. I paid for a mentor and I was very happy with the results.
Quote from benwm: and now I'm reminded why I prefer trading and making money than posting in Elite Trader forums no evidence that you have this ability (trading, making money). but you have proven that you can post things). no worries dude I won't post here again that would be appreciated, except you will likely pop up under a new alias.
You do not know what you are talking about. Check out SMB Capital who Brett Steenbarger speaks about. They are great traders and charge a hefty fee for training. Also, Don does not run a hedge fund or large corporation. So who is your "ultra successful hedge fund manager" who does not charge and lets you trade away? What is his number? Lets be up front Ambien. Oh, and by the way! Where do you teach for free? Number, place, position, etc? Bob
You are misunderstanding once again. DM is letting you trade his money like SMB?? I still don't get your analogy. the TURTLES DIDN"T PAY
Your right they didn't but some of them went on to charge people for books and training.... how ironic eh !
You can trade SMB's money after you do their trading course which they charge for. Unless you have experience and skills no prop firm or hedge fund is going to let you trade their money and they aren't going to train you for free. The Turtles were an aberation. And by the way, what is the number of your "ultra successful" hedge fund that trains for free? Come on, put up or move on. Oh, I also forgot to ask--where is it you train for free or work for free?
