The people on this site really suck. You fools are made for each other. Not coming back. Later.

Yes. He sends them to me every month for the hell of it. OK, since all of you guys are obviously accomplished and self-sufficient traders and know so much about Sykes methods and why they are failures, does anybody care to share with the group your reasons? Otherwise, you all are sounding...

Was a student of his for a year. Long story short, I had some serious personal issues going on and was not in a state of mind to trade, but I did follow along in the chats as much as I could. He's a gunslinger with a big mouth, but he seems to live up to his claim of turning $300K to $3M. Unless...

Yeah, so Sykes is an arrogant ass. So are a lot of people on this forum. But Sykes is a millionaire due to his trading, something that 99% of the members here hasn't accomplished yet. It's obvious you have a vendetta against him, and that is your prerogative. But his trading style and methods...

My post first said to make a fair offer for the courses, but there would be some kind of additional shipping cost. I know no law against re-selling the courses, and I didn't ask for Sykes permission! :p

No time to trade so hoping to recoup some of my investment. The first few have been viewed once and the rest have never been opened. All courses come with a multi-disc DVD case and manual, except for Tim Raw, which is sold without a manual. All are in perfect condition. Content can be...

Sometimes the masses are right... for a while.

I was in agreement with this: but adding the word "consistently" to it. Everybody has losing days. But, you lost me with this: One point might be plenty for somebody, but a drop in the bucket for others. If your equity curve steadily rises over the course of years and through...

I was a Bright Trader (remote) for a few years in the mid 2000's. First, the positives: Bright Trading is about a good of a place as any to leverage your capital for some serious buying power. Commission is average but monthly fees are steep. Their accounting and compliance departments are...

Good for you! Enjoy your life.

Home ownership for personal use is a losing proposition unless you have a substantial rise in value between buying it and the time to sell. I've been there... a number of times. Fees, property taxes, commissions, maintenance, yada yada yada. New houses are built with matchsticks. They can't...

They can buy up all they want, but in the end the general population must be left holding the bag to sustain any booms/bubbles. There just ain't enough people out there with incomes to support a widespread real estate boom. Granted, there is a boom currently going on in DC, but most of the...

I would like to know who you are comparing them to as well? I priced them along with other reputable firms and Echo actually was the lowest. I am talking about just the order entry system and Level 1. No frills. If you know of any quality places with super low prices, please share!

Anybody have any good or bad dirt on these folks?

He said he couldn't park my license forever... I understand this. I was short on time and did what I had to do, and he did what he had felt he had to do. Even still, parting ways could have been amicable instead of the blatant display of disrespect. Outside of their poor training, they were...

I was a remote Bright trader 5 or 6 years ago. Don made a lasting impression on me. I was also running an IT consulting business as a software developer and had been doing so for the prior 10 years. My biz was booming during those days and was making very good money (300K a year), and I set...

For those that made good decisions upgrading their properties, such as I :p , decreasing prices mean lower equity. I am not rich by any means, but took advantage of the 2002-2003 slump to expand my ranch-homestead at rock bottom prices, and the ensuing housing appreciation expanded my home...

Not long ago I surpassed the $300 mark when buying groceries (must have been the six pack of fine wine :D ). I live a comfortable lifestyle, but still like to keep spending in check. Just for grins, I asked the checkout clerk what was the largest amount of money she had seen somebody spend on...

Yes. We could have every government office that issues entitlements fool the applicants to sign up for the military when they think they are signing up for food stamps or unemployment benefits.

You bet. As the morons kept chanting "Yes we can! Yes we can!" I had to wonder if those three letter words were the longest words in their vocabulary. Nobody dared to ask "Uh, what changes are we talking about here?" and he certainly did not volunteer that information. It was the most...
