Wonder what Accredited school the degree is from.... It's a crime to call yourself a doctor if it isn't from an accredited school in many jurisdictions.

I'm a neurosurgeon and an active F14 combat pilot. While in a firefight, I perform surgery by remote control and trade ES futures in my laptop at the same time. They call me THE DOCTOR.

With a name like that I would have chosen Dr. in Dermatology instead of trading.

That's not a real doctorate. Knowing the effort required to obtain a PhD or MD, it makes me ill when folks erroneously use the title for credibility. For example, dr Brett steenbarger is a real doctor, so is van Tharp to the best of my knowledge.

A doctorate in a pseudo science and NLP trying to sell trading wisdom--- ahhhh ok, whatever you say, dr.
