    Trader’s Expo ?

    It's funny you should say that, because a lot of people liked Greg's paid presentation eventhough he has a reputation of snake oil. I heard that you have to believe in candlesticks to attend his class though. I heard the other Pristine presentations suck and theyare only promotional lectures.

    Trader’s Expo ?

    Fee events are the way to go, but I would not go to all of them. There are a few people that are highly recommended, but after talking to people from their trading rooms, I found out that they are not making money, but see a positive future. Always positive feelings, but no profitable traders...

    Trader’s Expo ?

    This is actually good advice. Check to see which lecture you would like to see, then take the time to google each presenter. You will find some good and bad things said about most of them. Try to guage who is credible, because some of the "gurus" have shills here.

    Trader’s Expo ?

    That is great advice. Print the above and take it with you if you are going. Just throwing this out there. I went to the Moneyshow in Orlando in February organized by the same organization. The cost of the trip would be deducted for tax purposes. Therefore, it's a cheap way to see Disney. I...

    Blowing up a margin account

    Rodney and Yip are right. I didn't sign a personal guarantee with IB either, but my buddy had to sign one with his broker. But T-man is right that the repercussions aren't immediate. One of my buddies blew his account. His bank, where he has accounts, mortgage and credit cards actually...

    Trader’s Expo ?

    I've been to good and bad ones. What made me like the good ones was that I met a lot of traders for drinks, coffee, dinners and learned a lot from them as opposed to some of the lectures. I will warn you that you that the seminars are there to make you buy something from the lecturer. Having...

    How can I ask a shill to see statement?

    Yes. I was a newbie to this trading world. I paid for systems and some did not work, I did learn things from them. 1,000 is not a lot for me, so that's fine. I did pay for John Carter's book and others. I did not gain anything from them, but I did prevent massive losses. Yes. I was a sucker...

    How can I ask a shill to see statement?

    Good answer. But go further. Tell him that he can block his account number. I was going to register for an expensive (25K) service. I drove 6 hours to see a guy who claimed he was making a lot of money using the system. The owner of the service was asking " Why are you going to drive so...

    Raj Rajaratnam, Founder of $3 Billion Galleon Group Hedge Fund, Arrested

    It figures you would say that with a name like Vogel. You should be canned from this site.

    Vegas Baby : )

    Yes I have. Exciting, entertaining and my hats go off to the traders that are brave enough to trade in front of the audience. However, I ill tell you that I have not seen a trader make a profit at those events.
