Hi, Earl
How about some EBAY call options instead? <just kidding>. All joking aside, I do remember meeting you and I understand your sentiments that some people may have not felt the same about Robin's seminar as I did. I had high expectations that clearly were not met, especially given the amount of time and money that were invested.
Frankly, after having some recent discussion with Robin about my posts, I assumed your post was really hers. She had indicated to me that she would be responding on the thread to my remarks, so I was suspicious that your post either originated directly from Robin or had been solicited by her. If that's not the case then please accept my apology.
In my original messages about Robin's seminar I mentioned several specific things I disliked in her presentation, including the fact that many technical points in her outline were not covered in the class which consisted mostly of her "trader psychology" mumbo-jumbo psycho-babble like how it's important to drink lots of water every day while trading, spending 30 minutes one day showing us how to breathe deeply, the half-day spent showing us how to get into an internet chat-room, the hour or so spent hyping IBD (which has very little, if anything, to do with daytrading), the demonstration of her "scramble" where everyone stands up wiggling their fingers in front of their face walking backwards saying "I can't lose" in a high pitched Mickey Mouse voice, every time anyone in class yawned the entire class was asked to stand, jog in place for five seconds, slap hands together and scream something loud, and the fact that her knowledge of CyBerTrader was very limited and some wrong information was given out.
I noticed in your message defending her that you did not mention any specific things that you liked about her seminar or anything new that you might have learned there. And, neither you nor Robin has ever responded to my question about her credentials to represent herself as a "specialist in trader psychology," as she proclaims to be. I still see no evidence that she has any formal education, training, or degrees in psychology, although she charges a rather substantial fee to present her version of "trader psychology." It's more like her version of common sense (drinking water and breathing) without strategy or anything technical. She does get a hefty fee for this stuff.
In short, even though she fails to teach many important trading topics that are listed in her course outline, topics that would be both interesting and extremely important to a new trader, she manages to devote probably 90% of her seminar time to her so-called "psychology." This is a shame because any trader who doesn't know the basics of the stock market and trading is at a severe disadvantage every minute he or she sits in front of the computer trading against others who, somehow, managed to get themselves properly educated. We've all heard the conventional wisdom that trading is 90% psychology. But, without the 10% of "what to do and how to do it," the psychology itself is rather useless. It's just too easy to give a seminar with all psychology and little other factual content.
I am glad, Earl, that you enjoyed Robin's seminar. I suppose I was just expecting her to live up to the pre-seminar announcements coming from CyBerTrader and Robin herself. Again, please accept my sincere apology for incorrectly suggesting that you might possibly be Robin. I hope you take good care of the 1,000 EBAY call options I am transferring to your account today. Should show up on your screen at the open. :-}
Good luck,
Bill |
