You may be able to join her course for the last 3 days--I believe she's resuming December 12--you could write her at info@speculator.com. It might be worth it to you, and she might be willing. Do you have those 3 days free or can you take them off? I must say that all along this fall she's been noting that the NAZ was in a trading range (when the rest of us were crying "rally! rally coming!"). We didn't want to believe it. In addition, seeing where JDSU is today--I asked her back in the high 60s what she thought, she showed me charts and noted that it and other fiberoptics, if they broke support, had a nice free fall below. On the day QCOM broke through 84 I recall asking her about that--and she noted humorously, "They're screaming breakout!"--actually there were some comments about that on this and QCOM thread. She suggested putting a tight stop in at 82-83, but I just sold my Jan calls for a mild profit. No regrets either. Needless to say, aftermarket today its around 77/78 or so, not a bad entry point. Intel at 38. Etc. What you'll learn from her--at least in your head, if not your hands/heart, which may still itch as mine do, is the importance of capital preservation. And setting stops. Opportunity will come again but be blown again without learning. It's okay to make the mistakes--she blew her account out twice before she figured out how to do this and retired at age 33. It's not easy tho.

Because of her baby she moved the next 3 days of class to Dec 12 13 14 I believe...she might let you in for that if you write her at info@speculator.com. It'd be worth it to take those 3 days off school and learn. What you'll learn above all is capital preservation, patience and risk management. The rest will go over your head but you can save it all to your hardrive (transcript, charts) and study later w/ books. And by the way, even if you learn that, it will be hard to implement. She herself when asked why her course is so cheap, $125 for five days, says, Theres no way she can teach you to make money in a week, the most she can actually hope to teach is how not to lose $. Her techniques take practice and a lot of study I believe But even to learn the former is a big deal.
