Quote from Millionaire:
I never followed his blog.
Did he ever post a blotter for his trades.
Or account statements?
How does anyone verify the 1.6m claim was real?
Quote from piggie2000:
Lol don set the price at a very modest 10k or so each. if 20 people sign up thats 200k or 1/2 of what dons supposedly made trading this year. somebody on the comments asked don to post his xtrader fills live for a while so people could fell good about paying 10k and he declined saying maybe this wasn't for him. all i can say is you're a sucker if you pay any one to learn to trade. the school of hard knocks and your own perserverance are what makes one succeed. shit don's bamboo cookout might have snared him some jellyfish.

Not at the price he wants. Perhaps he is the "real deal" as a trader. But anyone who wants to be a jellyfish has no idea what they are doing to begin with, so it's like watching sheep march off to the slaughter.
How do you genuinely tell people about the massive commitment it takes to be a trader, then tell them that they just need 8 weeks "in the tank".
Don may be a decent guy and trader, but he proves that all the "public" trader personalities end up being a disappointment.
Don has a seemingly great blog for a year and then goes for the easy money . . . fine, but don't tell me it wasn't planned from the start.
How about this . . . day one you tell people that you're creating a blog as a personal diary . . . and if it goes really, really well after a year, don't be surprised if I want to sell you something. Why does everybody feel they must mislead others?
Keep trading.

Quote from Brandonf:
I'll tell you how I learned how to market, and I mean REALLY MARKET. I just got done doing a project that sold over $2million in 4 1/2 days, and you guys know where i was at the start of this year.
I promise this is relevant to trading.
Found a guy who is one of the top two or three names in the Internet Marketing World. I bought his $2000 course. It barely got me on his radar, but I used it and make about $130,000 for a client. I told his support staff about my story and so then he was like, oh this could be interesting, maybe I can use his story. Ok, so then I pay $25,000 to work with him on one of his projects. He was doing a big launch in the real estate niche, ended up bringing in $3.9million.
After that, I paid him another $50,000, plus I continue to pay him $1000 a month, plus 10% of anything I earn because I have one on one access to him, plus his circle.
Best investment I've ever made, because I've made well over $1million this year, and all of you saw where I was just in Feb.
I know that marketing is not trading, but its damn close. If you can find someone with a PROVEN TRACK RECORD (and the guy I'm learning from has sold over $300million worth of info products, so I'd say thats proven), it's worth any price. If you want to be a trader, and you get a top notch guy who is willing to take an interest in you, it's worth what you have to pay.
