MY MENTOR PAID ME A SALARY - AND A % OF THE PROFITS WHEN I MADE THEM. YET HE TOOK ALL THE LOSSES. I WENT ON TO DO THE SAME FOR OTHERS. but i have also charged for my services and knowledge - i think if your legit you can only give so much. my mentor started charging me rent for office space, data feeds, phones etc. when i got on my feet. you can get free or you can pay neither will make you a winner, that's up to you. blaming someone for your failure is lame.
I am sick of these fake mentors

Indeed. Personal responsibility for one's own results seem largely overlooked by many.
He is probably French and meant "menteur".

Fake mentors
In a broad stroke of my brush, anyone that offers opinions in the market
without others being able to clearly understand the background of the opiner
MOST importantly the track record
is a fake, not worth following
listening to
buying ideas from
or otherwise
I judge it immoral and unethical to offer much of an opinion on anything in the market, without the weight of the evidence of ones record.
Too many ignorant souls burying a deep hole by following that which the OP claims to detest.
Dan Zanger sells a service and has no recent track record
He is a fake mentor
There are many others like him
They seem knowledgeable
THey seem to know more than many readers
so perhaps they do?
As is the OP and all those the OP refer to
The OP might well do well, after all he has claimed to have a young wife
but that is not reason enough to listen to him/her
The OP, as he detests in his first post here, ran from a question of his performance
No proven history, as he wants for evidence.
In a broad stroke, the OP tries to build himself up
yet really attacks himself
because he judges it "unwise"
I bear surf no personal ill, but it is laughable for him to attack others for lack of results when he does not offer them himself. He can argue semantics all he wants, it does not change the spirit of things.

Funny thread sort of. It's about mentors but some posters are attacking the people that follow mentors... I'm an electronics engineer and in some ways it's a good background [great at analysis and fully understanding of the need for due diligence] and in others it's not good [not too eager to jump in and learn by losing].
People that either inflate their resumes or greatly overvalue their opinions are the crowd that are fake mentors. Psychopaths will learn a few terms of a subject and declare themselves experts. I've seen them in action, they are masters of nothing but the babble typically and they couple that with con artist skills. Introverts greatly overvalue their opinions and are drawn to finance. I don't know which I detest more really.

The ones who made the money were the traders selling picks and shovels to the gold prospectors.
