    That is a good idea, though I don't want to go through the headache of maybe getting a product that is broken or works like crap...

    Interesting post, thanks. I've occasionally wondered how people end up in a job like that. Too bad he didn't toss in the towel earlier and find a different career. Maybe he still can.

    +1, totally agree.
    If they are great traders, why don't they instead trade 1000 ES contracts and with a few trades per day they would earn much more with much less effort.
    People, use logic and common sense.
    In the end what matters is profit, not the materials and not the presentation. Since these people can't trade profitably (if they did, they'd spam their audited records at every newbie), what use are their materials?

    Long time ago, I used to help organize similar seminars which had much less selling, more educating and for a fraction of the cost. Since I was just helping around and had time to observe; I noticed most of the people attending were hopeful and naive, they didn't have a clue what successful trading through different market conditions really requires in terms on research, screen time etc. They seemed to believe it was just a work-from-home type of deal with high reward and a lot of free time - who could resist!
    Some of those people probably will eventually find out what it really takes but most will just fade away.

    Explain the following to me.

    http://www.tradingacademy.com/courses/Forex-Trader.aspx

    "Forex Trader Course

    Learn professional currency trading skills that can help you succeed in the fast-paced marketplace of Forex trading. In Part 1 (two days), you’ll learn to trade currency pairs using the latest tools and software. In Part 2 (four days), you’ll work the Forex market with a trading professional using live streaming data as you develop your own Forex currency trading system. Most students take both parts together, although you can also take them separately for convenience.
    Forex Trader Part 1 (2 Days): $1995
    Forex Trader Part 2 (4 Days): $2995"

    Why the hell do *I* have to develop my own trading system? Am I not paying them kilobucks to teach me THEIR can't-lose trading system?

    LOL

    There are so many free or low cost trading guides written by people who are actually making money trading that it does not make sense to pay scam artists a ton of money for info. Lets be honest, if someone is charging a lot of money for trading advice the odds that he is using those funds to live on are huge

    I would say that the IBD courses are the very best if one really wants to learn about the total stock market...trading and investing..

    They are priced quite reasonable....

    I don't think any method I am aware of has made more people more money than Bill O'Neill's CANSLIM concepts.....
