  2. I think the % is fairly accurate.

    In any case, I have made $6 mill in 7.5 years. I am therefore offering my 30-minute training program for only $100,000, which includes info on how to manage your millions.

    Takers?

    Geez you guys are so negative. I GUARANTEE I can make a millionaire out of any trader willing to follow my instructions.
    Unfortunately, you would have to be able to accept the fact you are taking money from fellow ET'ers. Or...do you prefer commiserating with losers?

    BTW, the answer to the question that prompted the thread is "yes"

    Something interesting about the poll is that from the beginning when only 10 had voted it was 60% yes vs 40% no , and it have been the same since then, with now about 200 votes.

    79 consecutive trade of 15% return would turn $10,000 (a reasonable starting size) into $623,920,690. And that's using the low number of 15% instead of the "or better." Somehow, I doubt it!

    I'll offer nothing up front, but a contractual 10% of my first million profit from whatever unique strategies you provide.

  8. The problem MR market...you would have to be fully invested, and since you are currently sitting on 15 or so losers....you would have gone broke several times over.

  9. He currently carries an unrealized loss of $14,700 USD as calculated here. I assumed only 100 share positions in my calculations.
