deepete said:Thanks for posting the link, I attended a DW course 3 years ago and found the article accurate and detailed in the examination of the claims.
I actually lost a lot of money in the weeks following the course, by putting tight stop losses on all my blue chip shares while I went on holliday for a month. Never used stop losses before then, the market dipped, shares were sold, then the market regained all it `s losses.
Lost my confidence and never traded for a year after that, while the shares went onward and upwards and some have doubled in price since then. A little knowledge is dangerous, or costly.

If someone believes they can 'get rich quick' through these schemes then more fool them, they deserve to lose money.
Why do so many people think trading is easy. I bump into more and more people who when I tell them what I do for a living, know someone or their other half or someone is going to trade as they are at home looking after the kids so it'll be good for an extra income....
Who'd take up any of these thinking they'd be succesful just because they went on a course or two? Architect, lawyer, quantity surveyor, doctor, dentist... Wall street isn't full of stupid people (well, you know what I mean), they didn't walk of the street after reading a few books and listening to someone else for three hours.
daft.

The crazy thing is that these so called market gurus turned educators are out in the market place making all sorts of declarations and claims - without proof or any substance. They state that they have a total service support of professional coaches again without proof or substance. But yet make any criticism of them and who is first to call foul and make legal threats - they are of course and i wonder why?
If they were that good they wouldn't waste their time in the seminar business and they wouldn't cry foul because they wouldn't have anything to hide.
Lets warn the paying public
kenhetherington said:I agree BW. I am still upset that the thread on Secker that was here has been off air for over a month and no indication of its return. Whilst it is necessary to avoid unsubstantiated libel it is necessary to allow free comment where it is factual and fair comment.
So T2W team. PLEASE CAN WE HAVE SOME QUICK ACTION!
Soon we will be into the new seminar season and it would be good if the thread is up and running before then.
Otherwise I am tempted to start a thread in Elitetrader.com (a US site) referenced to here, where there is no such restrictions on fair comment.
