This thread was started to show my disappointment in ET management in regards to Steve46 being banned. He was part of the small percentage of folks who actually added value to the quality of ET.
The reason behind his removal was due to him sticking is neck out and calling out someone who was a potential scam artist. I am not 100% sure that this person was, but this is my experience with him.
When I was selling an aeron chair this person called me in regards to the chair. The conversation immediately turned from me selling my chair to his explanation of how he finally figured out how to trade futures successfully after many many years of trying.
He then proceeded to tell me that he had tried many systems over the years and that he finally found a mentor who taught him how to trade futures successfully. After all the sugar coating (classic salesman approach) he let me know that the course would cost me $6000 if I was interested.
Take what you want from this. Personally for me it was a sales pitch/scam. What I found peculiar and somewhat funny is that he mentioned a few months later that he would never trade futures again. This was after his claim of being an expert futures trader after taking this "$6000" course during our phone call.
Steve was the only person in here with enough of a spine to say something about this. He was doing the right thing and for it he got banned. I find this very disappointing and had to write something about so it would not slide into obscurity.
I guess this is what you get for standing up for what's right these days.
