Quote from bobfrank:
And while I'm at it folks doesn't the name "PureTruth" have a lot of irony and duplicity in it? There is no such thing and yet this is what the guy calls himself. The issue of hypothetical performance results could actually be used in any educational pursuit, business, and even driving a car. There is no perfection and or guarantee in life, trading, school, etc. but I guess with the name of "PureTruth" there must be. Let me give you some more examples in case "PureTruth" still doubts the issue of putting in "hypothetical performance results".

I could go on and on but lets get to the real issue. I challenge
"PureTruth" to come up with any kind of a business or educational venture anywhere where results are guaranteed and its really not an issue of "hypothetical performance results".

Don,
Regarding your Bach example , there is written on the site :
"and no actual trading was conducted in accordance with the BCGIsm"
Any time you present numbers that are not based on actual executed trades, you are talking about hypothetical trades and you need to put up the hypothetical disclaimer.
Since 99.999 % of education sites, don't have actual results to show (remember , they are snake oil vendors selling a dream), 99.999 % of those sites need to have the hypothetical disclaimer.
If you you are an educator that trades and shows his actual performance results without giving examples of any hypothetical trades, there is no need for such a hypothetical disclaimer.
An earnings disclaimer will suffice, that means that the educator cannot guarantee similar success to people who buy the course...
My challenge to you Don, put up your actual results on your site,
IF you have those.... (Didn't you make 1.5 million as a trader ? Ah no, those were fu..... hypothetical, damnit .. that's why they are not worth mentioning )
