Waahaha!Quote from Nana Trader:
Be prepered to spend at least $25k for a real mentor.
Anything less than this, don't stay away from him but
run away from him.
That's right. You can get mentoring with Oliver Velez and/or Greg Capra from Pristine in that price class, for $15,000 a week I think. Methinks if you hire both, you get them for $25K a week or so, isn't that a great deal? I mean, you get REAL mentoring with REAL trading mentors! They're not just some mentors, they've specialized in the field and mentored hundreds of people in trading, not to mention all the trading books they've written!
You see, they're so good at this, they don't even need to trade themselves! AFAIK neither of them have traded since 1998 or so (at which time they gave up because they reportedly blew their accounts several times), but that doesn't matter. The post-bubble market is so much easier you know, stocks move only cents at a time, you have little to worry about with real trading mentors like Olly & Greg.
You know what, Nana Trader: The reason why I believe in my mentor being very genuine one is because I've never been charged a cent. In fact, my mentor taught me how to reach for the stars in this business, yet vehemently refused ever taking any compensation. What is the reason for mentoring me you'd say? Well, I asked, my mentor thought I had more potential, and wanted to pass on oodles (basically half a life) of trading experience, before passing away. Not to mention you can learn a lot by teaching others. As it says: Docendo Discimus. If you can find this kind of mentor, you'll know what you're at.
But as a bottom line I'd say getting a mentor is the best step I ever did in my life. Don't listen to people who say mentorship is not required. The best sportlers out there are people with coaches who were ace athletes themselves in their younger years. You can learn things the hard way, but it will take you 25+ years to get anywhere. If you take a mentor, you can shave 20+ years off that learning curve and then start from there. In 5 years time, you'll be way ahead of most ppl out there.
Anybody who finds a genuine mentor, will not regret it.
Good Luck,
Scientist.
