Of course, as you would expect, the relevant bits are not available to the public but I have my sources... but it states..
Lifestyle Asset Management
March 2009 – November 2011 (2 years 9 months)
Diverse Financial Services company that included a commodities, forex and derivatives introducing brokerage and trading software. Two core divisions were sold in DEC 2011 & FEB 2012.
I cannot believe we are talking the same guy...
I mean he started with a well cashed up company in Lifestyle Trader in 2009.
In two and half years, he brought it to it’s knees
He started numerous other companies within the group of Lifestyle Asset Management, of which Lifestyle Trader became a subsidiary..
They all failed, yes you heard it right everyone failed....
He sold products to investors with guarantees which are now worthless, did these clients make money... well you guess right again – no they did not....
And so with him at the helm, Lifestyle Trader went down the tubes, yes you can blame Aussie Rob but he was away and had no day to day involvement.
So what happened as Lifestyle trader went down the tubes, well he hired more staff and did not curb the spending.... and the result, staff lost their jobs, clients and creditors are owed vast sums of money..
He was still selling in November at the 2011 Gold Coast Summit and some clients paid in advance for the 2012 Summit.. which he was aware of and knew full well this Summit was not going to happen.. Just ask him where have all the Summit videos have gone, I mean he was the face of the company but where is he now to answer to clients and creditors... I’ll get to this in a minute.
So what do I read on LinkedIn, 2 core divisions sold in Decemeber 2011 & February 2012.... Murray the company went to the dogs, you have a nerve to write this, so you create a great impression, you are a born idiot with lots of front...
And now we get to
Murray Priestley - Business/Investing Thoughts & Ideas
In here he says he pulled the plug on Facebook because you wasted time there... Coincidentally this was when Deb Rein, a dedicated licensee that you put offside with Aussie Rob, fingered you on Facebook and did not want anything to do with you Aussie Rob, or Lifestyle Trader....
And so now, you are building Alpha Capital Management or Masterplus Captial Management or whatever other company you come up with... and it is a fund, so basically you are going to invest clients money to make them money... yeah right... to lose them money.
I mean if it is like any of your previous products that went out of the door, basically untested in terms of profitability... smacks of autotrading within Lifestyle Trader which had to be pulled because client were losing money, as it had not been tested.
Murray you need to take a good look at yourself.... you are all front with no substance, you cling on to this expert, that expert and you talk a good talk but you cannot walk the walk...
If you are reading this, feel free to do your own research on this guy but whatever you do get a second opinion from someone who knows and if you run across a company and this man has involvement my advice is one word.... RUN and if it has to do with investing your money, RUN FASTER!!!!!!
