Granted it has been a while since this course was first released for the supposed 490+ dollars, but I just got it a few weeks ago for $14.95 with a free trial membership to TradestocksAmerica. I canceled the membership, although I tracked some of his stock picks and they were spot on, because I just started trading and cannot justify the 97/month expense.
I am a huge skeptic so I did a lot of research and when I found 10 disc course for only 15 bucks I was thrilled. I knew a decent amount of the fundamentals because of my formal education in business and entrepreneurship but had absolutely no knowledge of the technicals.
For all the newbies out there, I would be quicker to pony up 15 bucks for a ten disk course than possibly risk your money prematurely with too little education regarding trading.
Of course if you have the 4-5 grand for a classroom course in which you start out with a 2k margin account, than that would probably be the best thing but I am not in that position
