let see:


LAS VEGAS (AP) -- The volume of visitors to Las Vegas increased in August with a stronger showing of conventioneers, but the added visitors didn't gamble as much as fewer visitors did during the same month last year.

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority said Tuesday that Las Vegas saw 3.3 million visitors in August, 2.8 percent more than the same month last year.

The tourism agency says gambling revenues were down 6.7 percent in Clark County during August compared with August 2010.

The boost in the number of visitors was helped by a nearly 20 percent increase in convention attendance during the month. That helped boost hotel occupancy citywide to 84.1 percent with higher room rates.

Visitation to Las Vegas is up 4.7 percent for the first eight months this year.

Quote from Maverick74:

You are not listening. The public wants to trade in bubbles. They don't trade want to trade in this environment. Do know how many prop firms have gone under the last 2 years? Do you know how many firms have fired all their discretionary traders in favor of algos? There are not many "professional" traders left. If the pros can't trade, you think soccer moms are going to jump into this market? Really? Come on man. We talked about this on the other thread. Either trade your own account or get off the pot. Better yet, check out the fast food industry for work.

I'm all ears and I have to say, your point of view is interesting and it's something I haven't think of. Oh, and thanks for the advice about fast food industry for work, but I'm making decent living at my current company. Pass.

I just splashed some water on my face to compose myself. Thanks.

You idiots with your hand out are the reason everyone should slowly back away and be careful not to make eye contact.

All I have to say is the following...Everyone that is hating here...What is your basis?

Why not say ok so what makes you different?

Why is your course good?

And by the way, anyone that is successful at trading right away is lucky and it will not last...The ones like ME that busted my ass for 12-16 hours a day...Day after day after day are the ones that succeed.

I happen to think that my business model is genius mainly because in my heart of hearts I know that if such a model existed I would join it in a second. To get to learn for 2 weeks free? Before betting a single cent and only if I like what I hear do I actually begin trading under strict supervision where my lot size is monitored and every trade scrutinized? That sounds pretty amazing to me.

So all of you people out there that are "protecting the people from A**holes like me", stop coming to these forums, stop commenting when you don't know jack and speaking of jack, go back to watching your porn and stay away from the adult table.

Quote from michael21:

I have trading signals and I have a whole trading seminar that I would like to teach people, so what's the best away for me to profit off that?

The best way?

Open an account and trade your signals, of course.

If you won't trade them, why should anybody else?

 

[michael21]

Because why bother?

If I can show 10 people how to trade and collect commissions from them wouldn't you agree that makes more sense?

10 people get to learn to trade and I can make a risk-free living...win win.

And how are you going to demonstrate to someone it's "win win" if you haven't first done the actual trading?

Are you looking for actual discussion, or just blind validation from anonymous posters that you are "right"?

 

[michael21]

I'm perfectly happy having a conversation like what were doing. I get annoyed when people say YOU're a douche with no explanation.

You, are asking a very valid question to which I'm happy to respond.

I'll show them by teaching them for free and letting them sim for 1-2-3 whatever weeks again for free, no desk fees, no rent, nothing.

IMO that is several degrees improved from the earlier "charge $2k for a seminar" idea. Toss in a "share the gains AND share the losses" clause, and you'd clearly be well ahead of the usual rubbish in the business.
