This website would rather have the money

Quote from Baron:

TraderBrad's sponsorship of ET has been put on hold until these outstanding issues are resolved. I've heard both sides of the story and they are definitely on opposite ends of the spectrum. All I can say is that I hope these issues can be cleared up ASAP so we can all move forward in a positive manner and put this stuff behind us.

Thanks for the feedback.

Dear Baron,
I have no problem with Brad posting here or being a sponsor.
Brad is going to continue to get a hard time as long as he persists in selling overpriced, non-refundable courses.
Still, he may still have some insights to share and I don't mind reading them - as long as they remain free and open to criticism.
 
Kudos to you for exposing these morons.

Quote from Richard England:

You think it is fanatical to be concerned about people falling prey to an individual who will (a) not return someone's money after one day (b) will not permit an inspection of what they get for their money until AFTER they fork it over (c) will only accept wire transfers (d) will give no refunds (e) appears to be falsifying his trades, etc. Yet you allow them to post as though they were reputable. The fault lies with you for not checking out this individual first. Where's the proof this individual has a track record? As a result you will cost plenty of gullible people countless thousands of dollars. Why? to make $1500 a month from advertising? Isn't this even worse than what he's doing? How will they recover their funds from an individual in Canada?

When I saw you allowed this individual to become a "sponsor" I would describe my attitude as "rabid"- far worse than fanatical. I have no axe to grind per se. I've never been taken in by these system selling people.

I've decided to do whatever is necessary to stop this and if that means this site suffers, so be it! You'll be in for the fight of your life, I assure you if you fail to do due dilligence. I apologize if this seems like a threat. It is not- it is a fact that I will back up with action. That's how strongly I feel about people being unfairly taken advantage of for a buck.

I got that first hand from my son- so any bravado he displays is strictly for show. The way to deal with him is how the Southern Poverty Law Center dealt with the skinhead incident in Oregon by financially breaking the instigator who lived in San Diego and was profiting handsomely from a racist newsletter.

Take his house away from him. Try to get restitution in all areas at the same time with punitive damages. That's what you do, Samson77. Unfortunately for Brad you are local. You'll have no problem finding legal counsel and aid. He allegedly committed criminal acts and faces jail time for fraud if convicted. Otherwise Brad will be laughing at you and others all the way to the bank.

Baron, how can you possibly conclude from this thread that people here have anything but contempt for this individual? Your invitation to Brad to continue to post his early calls tells me volumes about where you are coming from. In my opinion that puts you in the same category as S&C Magazine- all about the money and morally corrupt.

People come to this site for insight into trading and hard to get info. It's up to you to keep it above board. Do your job!

This I do not agree with. There have been some outstanding articles in that magazine over the years.

However, some of the advertisers you see in that magazine win the prize for scam artist.

But to "bring down" the whole magazine goes too far. By your logic, we should "bring down" all of ET.

Quote from TraderBrad:

"There will not be any posts here on ET next Monday or any other."

So it seems after all of this, he has gotten what he really wanted, which was exposure. He probably will get a couple signups (he posted that he had gotten one already), so he made some good money from very little effort. There is really no point in him posting his calls now, because then we would actually be able to see his system in action (or inaction?).

Personally, if I believed in what I was doing like he claims to, I would not let a few critical posts keep me from moving forward. But I'm just a guy with a wife and four kids to feed, who makes his living trading. I have winning days and losing days, and go to bed knowing that I didn't hurt or take adavantage of anyone. That's a good feeling.
