Sandy Jadeja's Claims regarding CNBC
@Jason Tan:
I would like to thank you for your feedback and contribution of your experiences to this thread.
While we are happy that you had positive experiences with Mr Sandy, there are quite a few who did not have the same experiences as you.
We are focussing on only FACTS and OBJECTIVE details regarding our experiences with Mr Sandy in Singapore, so that others who want to know of his course would be in a better position to decide.
Also. I am not sure if you are aware..
ALL trainers intending to teach forex or other trading techniques to the general public have to submit ALL their teaching material and clearly explain to the MAS (Monetary Authority Singapore) what all they are intending to say during either their FREE Seminars AND/OR the PAID workshops, so that innocent public do not get false impressions regarding the possible losses that they maybe going to make in the course of their trades !
This was what I was told, at any rate, and I think it is true.Correct me if I am wrong.
Not sure if Mr Sandy had done done the submission to the MAS.
Especially regarding the points that he intends to teach people how to use the pattern of Solar Flares and predict the movement of the Euro , thus making $1000-3000 in the process.
I understand that traders who made similar claims in the past had received Written Warnings from the MAS ! And told to rerain from making such claims in the future.
This is again what I was told, but this can certainly be confirmed with the MAS , if it is not illegal to make claims that one would teach how to make lots of money using the solar flare patterns!
There were a LOT of retirees in the audience during the Free Seminars, who have little knowledge of trading and ar eeasily taken in by the claims of huge amounts of money that one can make. I hope that at least after reading these posts, they ll think twice.. Before making their own decision.
Firstly it is common practise in singapore to complain. And as a local Singaporean I am sad to say that we all find any reason to complain about anything and this goes for my friends as well as myself at times.
I am firstly not a Singaporean but an US Permanent Resident who practises both in the US and in also in London, UK as per the requirements of my hospital branches. I was staying in Singapore on contract for the last several months and must say that I not only like Singapore a lot, but also that I beg to
disagree that Singaporeans complain a lot ! In fact I find that people from certain other countries are ready to sue at the drop of a hat !
I am not only busy most of the time with my clinical work, saving lives, but also have administrative and teaching responsibilities as I am also a Professor of Medicine teaching would-be doctors.
Normally, thus, I would refrain from indulging in posts of this kind, but my engineering and other friends pointed out that unless I post the evidence that I have, it could possibly be a question mark on my integrity itself, which is why I had decided to upload SOME of the screenshots of the text messages from my mobile phone.
I address your other statement shown below:
As for cnbc, he has never claimed he works for them except that he is occasionally a guest on the show. In his seminars he clearly shows that he has shown specific types of analysis on there as any trader would.
I am uploading screenshots from my mobile.The first shot (Photo1) shows date as 16 Oct 2013, the day for when I was given an appointment to meet him, which he emailed a day prior to me.
This was in Singapore and he claimed in it that he was called by the CNBC.
Second message (photo2) also shows it clearly.
As stated in my earlier post, a quick call to CNBC by my secretary showed that he had NO interview scheduled at that time !
Third screenshot(photo 3 ) shows that he did not accept calls at 245 as promised earlier.
Till 20 Oct 2013, he neither responded to calls nor to emails !
That too after giving appointments to me !
This shows clearly how much he cares about others' time.
Not sure if had attended his free seminar at Cuppage Plaza on 5 Oct 2013 (9 to 5 pm), but during the seminar he had clearly given us the impression that he is repeatedly called to cbnc to give interviews and talks. I do not know whether he really works for them, however...
By the way, if anyone has any questions regarding the authencity of the text messages, then either contact Mr Sandy directly to verify, or with the permission of the Admins, I would consider putting up screenshots with his mobile number (btw, he had given his mobile number publicly to all during his free seminars).
The fact is when I signed up for the course he did accept credit card payments as there we clearly a credit card facility there. Some people asked if they could pay cash or cheque and the staff said they could but they preferred card payments. (So this is completely the opposite of what has been posted).
This could be YOUR experience. I have an email where he CLEARLY states that cash will only be taken ( or maximum, a local cheque, though he later told on phone that ONLY cash would be taken).
This is certainly not "last minute" ... there is quite a lot of time between 16th of October 2013 and 1st of December 2013 ( the date when he was going to take the Workshop).
He had CLEARLY told me that NO credit cards would be accepted !
It is possible, from what you say, that he would ask for cash from only some students, or maybe, that now he has changed his ways and is accepting credit cards .
Also Receipts were issued. On the day of the workshop there were 2 members of staff who were handing out receipts once you signed in. So again it is untrue that receipts were not given...
I did not attend his PAID workshop, so I cannot say anything about receipts regarding MY experience. However, some of my other friends who did attend his workshops earlier told me that he declined credit cards as well as that he did not issue receipts.
Please note that as far as the law is concerned, ONE single instance of wrong-doing is enough to get into trouble. One maybe giving receipts to a hundred people, but if he/she declines them to even ONE person, that is still wrong !
I have the email where he asks me to get the $3800 in CASH, but I would , at least at this point of time, refrain from posting it online, as my intention is NOT to cause Mr Sandy any serious trouble.
Photo no 4 which I had uploaded, shows my text msg where, after it, he finally rang me, and was extremely rude, as stated in my earlier post.
I have contacted him several times via email and he does respond and I agree it is not on the same day but he has answered all of my questions to my satisfaction. And he was tweeting when he worked for a broker which he clearly stated that he does not tweet anymore but does provide alerts on when the market has changed trend.
That maybe your experience, but in the last phone call that he'd made to me, at that time, he told me clearly that even ONE email a MONTH was too much for him and that I couldn't expect him to answer it.
I do know some of the other classes taught in singapore make outrageous claims but sandy's course is not one of them and as a trainer he is very approachable and helpful.
Sorry but my experiences TOTALLY differ, though I regret to say so...
And I can state that there are trainers here in singapore who send their own staff to other trainers courses to get the course material and then copy this and at the same time sabotage the trainer. This is a fact and very common here.
I certainly am not a trainer nor am affiliated to them and I can be approached at my office if required !
Putting other people down is very nasty and finding faults is easy.
Certainly not our aim to do so. But to let people know objectively of our experiences with him.
His course teaches how to have tight stop losses and so there are students who have not stuck with the method.
The so-called "tight stops" made my friends lose a LOT of money, to the tune of a few thousands.Of course in the last few weeks, when the Dow etc are on a strong upswing, there is no need for Sandy to tell one to buy and hold one's positions , and a lot of my friends who did buy and hold , made a lot of money !
Finally, I would like to end this by saying that it is NOT my aim to put Mr Sandy in trouble or show him in a bad light...Which is why I have not bothered to upload either the email that he'd sent or the other evidences, like the phone call.
Certainly, at the very least, I think that Mr Sandy has absolutely no right to be rude, like he was to me, on 20 Oct 2013, on the phone.
And I hope that even if he cannot muster the courage to post an apology, that at least seeing all these posts, he would turn over into a better person and stop making all the outrageous claims regarding the money that he can help people make !
