His brother Luis posted this on his Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/george.fontanills.7?sk=wall "My beloved brother George passed away from cardiopulmonary problems yesterday while on a business trip to Singapore. He was 52 . George will be greatly missed by his family and friends. I love you, George."
Yes, his original ~ $295 Optionetics course from the mid 1990s was nothing but a rehash of basic options strategies that now can be found for free online, or in a $19 options book. I did subsequently receive invitations to attend free seminars, but I never went.
FB page is gone.. so how did he die? Did a Condor bite his head off? Nah seriously.. I downloaded the optionetics series several years ago and while it was definitely just rehashed basics for lazy ass people, George and the other guy were pretty funny and did well keeping things from getting boring. Incidentally.. what was the "secret" trade that only optionetics platinum/advanced or whatever members would get to know?? Think someone told me years ago but I forgot.. BWB or similar?
Here's an opportunity to see George as he was without shelling out a couple grand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5JFaUPtit0 What did he die of? Well if you look at him you can guess. Diabetes complicated by severe obesity. Too much tube time and Twinkies. Swell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkFmzzjbfuU
Oh yeah, remember seeing that video years ago.. listened to the tapes before then.. yeah he was pretty huge. Guess he should of stuck with high intensity day trading instead of sitting on the couch trading leaps and condors. Anyway RIP, dude.
Well I'm a retard, totally missed the quote in bold.. why do I always ignore stuff written in bold..hehe.. RIP George.
