To learn profitable trading strategies? No, develop your own. To get some context and a fun read if you are into that kind of stuff? Sure.
I get your points. However, a financial degree doesnt give you the knowledge to daytrade. You might say, everything is free out there. Correct. But that will take you years to gather the right information and categorize what is working or nor. or you take a shortcut and buy a course, where pro traders have done the work for you. you also get a daily and weekly meetings where they go through their best trades where you can backtest and learn. After a year or so studying what has been working, you can make up a playbook. Rather than going down the rabbithole of all the free information out there. problem is there are hundred of courses out there, many of them er just wannabe furus. therefor i would be really glad if anyone has taken the SMB courses, if they could give me any insights if they are worth it or not. i see that there are also other chat services like investorsunderground. But i do not know if they are newbie friendly. Guy owning the place is making a killing each day. by the look of their youtube channel (smb) they are real good.
I can not stop you from wasting your money. He makes 99.9% of him money from investing, book and courses not from trading.
Where are you getting your information? So you mean he doesnt make any money and makes most of it selling a 2011 course and not from his chat service?
Mike Bellafiore is a salesman, like everyone else at SMB. Why a successful proprietary trading firm would sell you their trading strategy ? because their strategies suck and they want to make money from new traders.
Getting formal education and training is a good thing; some will be better than others as your discernment and standards improve. As with SM in general, free platforms generally mean you are the product. I don't know of SMB so no help for you there.
Tony, but what do you say about the people at SMB that are posting their thesis before hand and make a killing on it each day? do they see in the future + photoshoot skills? they make money on selling courses, and hire the best traders to make them even more money. I would have done the same thing if I was in that position lol.
