I am sick of these fake mentors

  1. All glory, laud and honor! I have a lot of respect for you for doing so. But a closet vendor can't be making much on a $5 ebook, so I doubt he'll ever come out.

    stuff like $5 ebooks are usually lead ins to more expensive up-sell products, like a seminar, hands on coaching, etc. Imagine u buy an ebook, and next thing you know the vendor is calling you constantly with offers to stroke you off while you trade, leaving breathy voice messages, etc. No thanks.

    Or like $350/month newsletter subscriptions . . .

    And they don't even come with a box lunch.

  4. That's where I'm leaning also...towards not really visiting this site. All I see nowadays is people fussing back and forth about why another person's analytical method can't or won't work.

    I will admit that I've learned a great deal from this site but all of the cynicism is a huge turnoff.

    I believe mentor suggests a more personal or direct relationship. Plenty of products, trading or otherwise, are not a mentorship - never mind that much mentorship is unpaid or a non-cash exchange.

    I am very sure when I lost for many years, many others were whomping and hollering it up like I do now. If I didn't trade someone else would be there to make profits from the sheep. I don't know if it is psychopathic to wish financial harm to others, but they decided to trade thinking they were taking the same risks as I, and anyone been at the game for a lengthy time are sharks and uneducated is bait.

    Vendors, LOL most, if they could trade, they wouldn't be putting up with the public for couple thousand bucks, just not worth all the bs.
