That's heartening.

When looking at the chart if the trade is not blatantly visible, then it isn't there.
Anything which is so discretionary that it needs to split hairs to decide if a trigger exists is meaningless because 5 people can read it 5 different ways.

I tracked all the new breakouts on Marketsmith for the last couple weeks. 0% return. I tracked all Dan Zanger's top candidates over the last six weeks: roughly in line with QQQ.

Has anyone taken a Minervini seminar? Or been a customer of his service?

I have read his book and it was very good.

But I wonder about his seminars. He is always pushing them on twitter and they are very expensive. It strikes me as odd that he says he doesn't do seminars for the money, but to help people, and then charges so much that most people can't afford them. Like running a Salvation Army and charging hundreds of dollars for used clothes.

Also, if he is such a great trader why is he so focused on seminars instead of managing 100s of millions of dollars?

I liked his Jack Schwager interview.
A seminar has NEVER been as good of bang for your buck as books.
MAYBE a grain of truth in that he does not do seminars for the money, meaning he enjoys them ?? LOL
By the way plenty of Salvation Army stuff is free so your guts are right on.And Investors Business Daily has given me plenty of free charts/free newspapers + some free books ;so its obvious the main reason some charge plenty/big bucks=it is the money.LOL

Starting a hedge fund is far from being easy, you wouldn't believe what you have to go trough.
That's why these top traders like to generate a second income from their seminars, DVDs, etc..., it's much, much easier.

Mark Minervini is featured in the June issue of Stocks and Commodities Magazine.
According to the 9-page article, he managed to generate 5 consecutive years (1994 to 2000) of - get this - 220% annualized performance (with only 1 quarter down).

In other words, a 33,500% compounded total return!

So this guy really knows his stuff, no doubt.

Zangervini puff everything they can. If they had a compelling track record in the last five or ten years, we would be hearing from them about it.

Dan Zanger's chat room is seeded with a person who just had the best two weeks of his investing career now that he found Dan. Had to be a shill. Everyone chimed in and told him to focus on the discipline. Again, hard to keep a straight face.

1994 to 2003 were the golden years of the market. The phenomenal returns those years generated will never be seen again.

I would be very wary of returns posted ONLY for those years and none after that. Lying by omission is also a tactic.

Minervini said in that same article (see post above):
"From 2000 to 2009 it was certainly a much more challenging period. I was out of the market for a good part of that."
