Every savvy job seeker knows that there is a golden rule: you never pay money to apply for a job, period. Companies that ask you to pay a fee are most of the time snake oil. So unless I am an experienced trader I would not want to try to get into your firm.
you state :"getting involved in this business requires some minor expenses...and even some initial capital....with a very limited "downside" and an unlimited "upside"
$1000 is not a "minor expense" when you just look into a profession and professional trading does not have a "very limited downside" risk.
We are not hiring anyone...?? How much does it cost to go to Law School, or any other place to get into a profession. Heck, people pay to go "franchise fairs" just to find a place where they can 'spend" (yes spend, waste) money on a franchise that they can then put money and time into. We offer education, in colleges, and in our course. I stand behind the quality, and so do the participants.
When you start any career or business, there is risk. If you get a "job" there is more risk (in my mind) since you are leaving your financial security to others who can fire you, or just plain go out of business. We prefer entrepreneurs who are trying to get ahead of the status quo.
And I always admit that trading is not for everyone. I think that if I can save someone tens of thousands of dollars by sharing the experience of excellent traders, then I have done a good thing.
Go to the freebies we offer, check them out...get an idea of what we are trying to do....I think you might feel a bit better about us as a firm.
