confound it....
i do not know much about other names being on your list, nor do i know exactly what they were trying to sell to dupe others....
but i do know something about woodies cci club up to and including prior to last few months when he starts charging a donation of some 100$ to join his new trading room called S and S room where he uses his own trading bar named after himself--woodiesbar.... and he also charges another 200$ for lease of his woodiesbar for personal usage, if any trader wishes to have personal woodiesbar for independent personal use....
all these are upfront and there is no other hidden cost that i am know of to date.... the dvd sale and the seminar are also up front....
now let's get to specific allegations and rumors by some et members as shown below:
------------------
1--marxdhr--I have been reading numerous posts on the web indicating that trading with Woodies CCI system is a fraud and that the moderators in the rooms on his site acknowledge that they don't really make money with his methods. Many have said that Woodie himself does not make any money with it.
Does anyone know if the method works or whether it is a fraud? Do you know anyone who actually makes money with it?
MARXDHR--admitted that he was reading others' posts.... without any personal knowledge whatever....
------------------
2--IronFist--Here's what I have heard:
- He doesn't make money trading
- His trading room moderators admit that neither they nor anyone else makes money
- None of his setups or methods have backtested profitably (here come the people who say backtesting is useless)
And let's be honest, CCI just shows you how far price is away from a moving average. You don't even need an indicator to tell you that. Well maybe Woodie's crew does, because aren't they the ones who claim you don't even need to look at price to trade? lol. But just because price gets a certain distance from a MA, or comes back and touches it, doesn't mean it's gonna do anything you can bet on in the future. That's why Woodies traders don't make any money.
IRONFIST--also admitted-what i have heard....
---------------------------
3--Aletheia--I seem to recall reading an article where Woody claimed the inventor of the CCI gave him the code to improve upon, but when the inventor was later asked about it, he said he never heard of Woody.
Regardless of who was lying, although the inventor had no motive to do so, a CCI measures the distance from a moving average. No magic there. The fact no one has ever made money using the system tells all.
It's obvious Woody makes money hiding behide the guise of Make-A-Wish skimming money from the flock. He claims all proceeds goes to charity, yet never discloses an audited statement to back that claim up, or what he establishes as his fee for holding seminars. Basically, he says all profit from seminars goes to MAW, but he doesn't say that he skims 99% of the proceeds as his fee, therefore, leaving 1% for MAW. Technically, he is telling the truth, but in reality, he is deceiving the herd.
I call fraud.
ALETHEIA--also admitted that--i seem to recall reading....
---------------------
4--Billybob543--Woodie can't make money trading CCI.
Woodie stated a few months back that he trades no more than 3 contracts per trade. I think he let it slip by mistake and didn't realize it until he had already said it. Now surely someone who has been trading the CCI for "over 30 years" and the self-proclaimed Emperor of the CCI should be trading far more than 3 contracts.
Woodie most likely makes most of his money from website advertisements, DVD sales, and Trade-A--Longs.
Heck..everytime Woodie has to travel by Air, he now tries to get unsuspecting newbs to pay for his airfare in the city of destination by performing a "mentoring" session.
Does this sound like someone who makes a living from trading?
BILLYBOB543--does billybob543 talk to woodie's broker and get confirmation that woodie can not make money trading with cci....?
does billbob543 even know which brokerage represents woodie....?
-----------------
5--larrybf--the whole thing is a GIANT HOAX.........HOWEVER my post will not change the mind of even one losing believer of this CULT......
LARRYBF, surely made a statement of fact here.... for sure, right?
