Only Ken and the IRS knows if he's profitable trading or not. Two things I would note from some brief research I did some time ago. One, he posted in 2003 that he would like to transition to full time trading and retire from training. That never happened. Two, I read some reviews from more then a decade ago and one was very perceptive about this situation. Basically it said that Ken was more of an entertainer then a trader per say, that it was hard to tell how effective his techniques were. It also said Ken had mastered the art of stretching the truth on his trading results; he knew not to cross certain lines while presenting an image of frequent successes. That point resonated with me and what I perceived last fall.
Ken you lose some credibility when you continue to claim profitability and "easy" trading when your calls have been god awful for 4 days. Better to say nothing then stretch the truth. Even if you did eek out a profit, you could have made far more money in the opposite etfs for 4 days. So your posted ideas were actually bad advice for other traders.
The main goal is to help traders, including each other, to improve our PnL and our trading process, based on lessons learned. My training is popular because my traders know I'm authentic.... and no performance nor profitability claims, no YouTube videos saying I made $50k/day etc. I used to be a fortune 500 consultant fwiw https://trademastery.com/clients.htm
I've been honest and straightforward in my business. I'm a UCLA grad and Moneyshow speaker. This is what my customers say (filmed live at my Las Vegas, Denver and California seminars)
After you posted that i googled 'Is hiding the truth honesty' This is what googled returned: "Yes. Hiding the truth is a lie of omission. If you have hidden something from someone you care about, this is a betrayal of trust."
My traders speak much better than et moron trollgirls #gfy I'm a sponsor. Do you want to get banned? Go ahead, make my day
Here's an offense strategy idea, rather than the constant defense mode. Why don't ET members question and attack @bone, also known as The Spread Professor? http://www.spreadprofessor.wildapricot.org/ 2 non-competing How-to vendors on ET... Maybe there are sharable business insights. Enjoy the weekend.
Here’s the bottom line and I bet Ken won’t disagree . The money is not made it doing anything yourself . It’s in providing the picks and shovels ( selling education ) . Just like amway . You make the real money in making others believe they can do it not you doing it . There’s 1000’s of suckers born every day . Same with real estate and insurance . Recruit others under you and overide them .
