Quote from docholiday:
I only went to two in my life,, One was Don Fishbacks on credit spreads,, I t was $2000.00,, the reason I went is because I talked to a guy in a neigboring town who went and was making a ton of money at it,, That was during the days of the big bull market until year 2000. Wel I started out well with his service and recommendations,, and then got hit quite a bit,, Market conditions changed, and Don no longer did the strategies,, To this day,, I cannot tell if the people on his website used as testimonials are whores or are actual succeeding members,, THe other was Cook's, cuase I read so muach about him in ACtive Trader magazine,, I blame these piece of shit magazine editors more than anything,, cause they get to go to the seminars for free, in exchange for promoting them.. Well I bit,, There were twelve people in the class which consisted of 12 chairs, no desks, in a circle similar to a game I played as a kid,, lol,, The guy was all bullshit,, I'm not saying he didn;t do what he said,, and I'm not saying he can;t trade for himself, but what he shares is something else. I later talked to a guy who worked for him, and he confirmed his whoremanship, and quit him.. Also we kept in touch with other students and I was fortunate enough NOT to subscribe to his service like some did,,, They lost BIGTIME, On top of that,, he cannot keep his hands off the ladies, including calling hte female students at night, and hitting on them,, even though he is married. Ask Linda Bradford Rashcke.. A number of us demonized him with vendors enough, that now he is taking his show on the road, to Australia,,etc,, cause nobody around here will touch him,, Punch in his name and do a search on the Net,,and you will see a number of comments... I have been at this game since 1997,,, I have lost tons of money doing it,,, I am not sure if I am break even,, or above yet daytrading,,, I have bought softwares like Scalpersoftware.com,, and should have burned the money instead,,, there are a tone of charlatins out there,, One thing I have found is,, that No one will help you,, people are jealous,, and human nature being what it is,, the answer is always F.U... This was the case of scalper as he and I were from the same hometown,, I asked him about some help,, paying to sit with him and learn,, His answer was Buy my software and go F your self.. The same with Moore,, Buy my stuff, and THEN I will have you over,, (or not) I never found out,, think about it,, especially daytrading,, every day is like snowflake,, they are different,, THis game will bring out every flaw in your character.Swing & position trading is way easier cause you have more time to make up your mind. Think about this also in human nature,,, If you had a method you were making tons of money with,,, Would you tell anybody,,, F,, no,, nor likely to teach people it. So I have come to the conclusion that EVERYome in this game is after your money and out to screw you,,, IF you don't develop a methodology yourself,, u are waisting your time,,I have yet to come across someone who is sincere, and really wants to help,, but maybe there are some,, A new subject for this thread,, would be vendors that DO perform,, Whoever is listening to this thread jump in and tell us your best experiences with vendors of anything,, Accentuate some positives.. I can tell you that the guy at Scalpersoftware told me how bad cook was, but I didn't listenn,, but either one of them should talk, cause both their stuff is junk,, As I said, daytrading is the hardest,, I am very very well educated,, but that doesn;t matter.. I am very stubborn but that doesn;t matter.. I have heard a good cliche, In "Every boxer has a plan, until they get hit"... That does matter. NO matter who teaches you,, you will have gimme days and hard ones.. You will always wish at some time that you have a larger or smaller size going in a postion,, and when you first start trading for real,, you will be dinner for wolves,, until you get seasoned. I have been in some trading rooms, for free and laughed at teh guy teaching them,,as I knew he was going to get killed,, and I have been in some trading rooms for free, watching software indicators with the host,, all day,, who didn;t know if he was up or down at teh end of the day,, HIs stuff was about $12k,, and the "Next Generation" in trading stuff,, It is the hardest thing I have ever done, and am still doing it,, I have done a lot of hard things in my life. One thing is for sure,, Yu will never stop learning new things in this game,, Doc..
