Youâre correct. Iâll be very surprised if their membership doesnât begin to dwindle, as a result of what I perceive to be Hubertâs inflated ego and arrogance. I just donât believe you can treat paying customers with such disrespect and come out unscathed. Great customer service is the only justification for existence, for most companies. But, there are exceptions to that rule. Just look at eSignal.
Itâs amazing to me that not one paying customer made a derogatory comment to Hubert about his unreasonable and unethical demand, that they now buy a CD to remain members of his room. Itâs like they were all scared or something.
One thing may have contributed to the lack of negative comments. Hubert has this long standing rule stating that all trial members must be voted on by the existing membership before they can be admitted to the room. If any trial member gets 3 ânoâ votes from the existing membership, they cannot join, no matter what they are willing to pay. The same holds true for existing members. If , while taking a vote on trial members, any existing member gets 3 ânoâ votes, they can no longer be members of the room. That, in itself, could prevent members from voicing any negative opinions.
Since Hubert is such a good trader and doesnât seem to need revenues from the chat room, itâs probably all by design, to keep membership low enough to reduce the number of questions and aggravation to him. Itâs not about money as much as it is about âeasyâ money.
Another thing that puzzles me is that Iâve seen comments by people that have taken Hubert and Johnâs âmentorship programâ, but I have never seen any real praise about the program, which costs approximately $7,000.00 for 5 days in their headquarters building.
It just seems like they are preying on the most vulnerable âwould beâ traders, not unlike many others out there. Hubert just seems to do it with much more confidence and arrogance than most.
