So this Alex guy supposedly started trading in early 80s. That's what the bio says on his website: http://www.puretick.com/about21.html But he apparently started trading with LBR Group on 10/2001, but was still struggling to make enough profits, as of 8/2003, to meet the salary he was getting from his previous job where he was fired. http://www.lbrgroup.com/index.asp?page=Feedback But going back to his bio on his website, he got a pilot license in 1986 and bought his own airplane. "In 1985 Alex developed an extraordinary fear of flying when his boss at the time, a personal friend, and the man who introduced Alex to a career in trading, died in a plane crash at LI MacArthur airport. It was even more traumatic since Alex had been in the right seat of that aircraft only moments earlier while his friend demonstrated touch and goes at the airport. Huey's death was so traumatic that Alex became a veritable John Madden when it came to flying---only driving or taking a Greyhound Bus. When "TOLD" that his fear had won, the challenge so intrigued Alex that he forced himself to conquer his fears. With counseling and determination, Alex did get his pilot's license a year and a half later---not a world record---but a tribute to the power of the subconscious. The world record came later. Just a week after getting his pilot's license, and buying his own airplane, and a bad weather experience, Alex knew he needed an Instrument Rating." Is this guy just a good story teller? Which story is right?
OK now <b>I</b> am going to chime in! All of us - a bunch of losers. I mean some MORE than others - but EASY to tell. First off, very few involved in this heated convo - LIKE WE AND WHAT WE SAY REALLY MATTER. After all what happened to us that we are typing frantically on a keyboard to prove something. But you do have those that CLAIM to be forthright when it is obvious that they twist everything. And there are those that keep forging along producing results with a vision and a plan. Yet the very idea compels these so-called "forthright" individuals to blatantly slander and disrepute the ones that are glad to know they are going to get to where they want. Yes if the forthright individuals had a "life" they'd be living it and if the visionaries and accomplishment-driven individuals currently had millions standing in line to back them, they wouldn't be wasting much time entertaining. JUST THE FACTS: the truth is results - even if unfolding - will speak VOLUMES!! Be honest and admit that if you consider what undeniably is STELLAR results - all the hot air and attitude won't detract from GREAT HOPE in leveraging an awesome financial future. All the rest in nonsense to be taken as a grain of salt. If you can take <i>willing</i> traders and teach them to make $200 on average per day over a 2 year period and these results can be extracted from these same "setups" for another 3 years, they likely are diverse enough to work profitably throughout ALL market periods. <b>YOU know what that means.</b> A little compounding or increase of contracts with the gains and a decent account can exponentially grow into the millions and then 10's of millions. All your BS and personal trading styles from these "honest guideposts" don't mean horsesh*t. And yes in due time everyone will want what proven track records have produced if continued. So you don't think these results will unfold as such? Who cares what YOU think, especially if they basically DO. <b>Right?</b> paySen$e
Whoa!! Alex, you're getting a little hysterical. Something in this particular thread set you off... now what was it? Was it one of ET's more respected guys finally just coming right out and telling everyone why your lying scam 9:1 claims are BS? Is that wild streak the reason that you failed as a trader and had to turn to selling snake-oil? Let's see...you tried to trade. You couldn't. The you paid thousands of dollars to others who either never could trade or had hit a cold streak and needed cash. And you failed again. But you did learn how to make money. By selling snake-oil. So you started doing that. And now you're in here screaming and ranting like a woman. Check out some of the posts above this, Alex. You're losing it publicly, buddy. It's no wonder that you failed as a trader. No emotional control.
LOL! And with all these riches and your trading "success" you can't hire an admin for 10 bucks an hour to answer the phone when folks call to cancel their "subscription"?
Well, I'm just figuring that it is in his financial interest NOT to have anyone answer the phone. Assume that 100 folks sign up and want to cancel each month. But they have to call and get him directly on the phone to do so. Which is what he has told us. No talkee, no tickee. Now, at $300 per "subscription" billed to their cards when their calls are NOT answered...you do the math...it's a cool 30 grand a month. Or, $360,000 a year for NOT answering the telephone. I would say that's nice work if you can get it.
Um I think Spectra was called out first. Wouldn't showing statements be the easiest way of proving that his method works? Instead he wants others to post statments showing that they followed but didn't make money. A bit convoluted no?
