I do pity the bunch of whining maligners (and you know who you are). IF you think you can elevate yorself by tramping on someone else, you are in deep trouble (Odds are, your account will reflect it. Odds are, you think your broker, or bookie if you haven't graduated yet, is out to stiff you constantly. No doubt everyone else is responsible for your dire results)
About Joe I will say:
a) I don't agree with everything he writes and says
b) Many of the things I didn't use to agree with I now agree with, after much pain of learning
c) He has written some phenomenal books, articles and courses
d) His material is very clearly written. It is simple, but not simplistic. Some simpletons (you probably don't know who you are ) do not know the difference.
e) In person he is a great presenter and is well loved by a large group of people. His wealth of experience is evident. Of course he charges for seminars. How else do you keep the numpties out? A thousand or so bucks is a bargain for the knowledge and even more a of a bargain to spend time with positive supportive humble people who are willing to learn and share.
f) He has always maintained that it takes several years to become a half-competent trader. He does provide some methods that a DISCPLINED newbie can successfully implemement while learning. This will give you a chance to keep learning while not losing too much. If you buy one of his methods and it doesn't work for you, he offers a no-questions asked refund. (Of course, I could give you a failsafe set of signals every day and if you're inexperienced/ emotionally unstable / too busy finding fault before finding the facts / lazy/ stupid/ arrogant then you will botch it every time, lose all your cash and blame the perfect set of signals instead of saying to yourself 'I'm an idiot. How can I change that?' )
g) I have seen Joe trade and he does what he says he does, plans like he says he plans and it works more often than not, just like he says it does. He has always maintained that trading is a messy sloppy business. If you want absolute certainty, then pick another endeavour. {{ If you want something that works 100% of the time, then try complaining and maligning others while denying personal responsibilty. It will 100% GUARANTEED diminish the quality of your life and as a special bonus, you will attract into your life other whingers to support your world view.}}
h) If you ever expect to master anything worthwhile in two days, then you are silly. After spending 2 days in a seminar with Joe, my eyes were opened and I knew more stuff than I did before. I then spent 2 months going over charts, reviewing, practicing before I internalized some of the material. I could implement one pattern very well after a couple of weeks and using this I increased an account by 18% in a month, doing less than 5 day trades a week. Simple, not simplistic.
i) Expecting to learn everything you ever need to know in a couple of days is a bit like walking up to Eric Clapton and asking him for the secret to playing the guitar really well. And then expecting to play perfectly the first time you pick up a guitar. And then tell everyone that Eric is a no-good lying phony.
Joe, thanks for your contribution to the trading world and to my own development.
Happy New Year to you all, even the whingers
