I too, paid the even heftier fee of 10K! However, I'm glad to report that it is well worth the price. He has really been great guiding me through and has truly made me a successful trader. He doesn't take on that many students which might explain why he's not all over the message boards. Anyway, if you are trying to find a mentor that can teach you how to trade profitably Michael is definitely the guy. Highly recommend. If anyone has any questions feel free to pm me.
