Isn't Robin Dayne, Taylor Dayne's sister. Al least she could dance and sing. Lotsa folks making very nice livings, telling us how to be 'winners'. Do hand stands, think clean thoughts, attend lotsa seminars at $1000 a pop. Maybe they have something to offer some in the crowd, but it's mostly smoke and mirrors. As for success stories, I figure if I talk to enough people every week, by the end of the year a sizable number will have made some money and I can attribute their success to my brilliant tutoring. What I really need to know now is how to "scramble". Let me guess, that's what I do when I'm holding 1000 Ebay and it's starting to tank? No? Maybe it's what you do when MBT or Cybertraders or NASDAQ's quotes fail and I have $500k in open positions. Onward and upward.

I enjoyed Robin Dayne's seminar and feel that it was useful to me. I have heard similar positive sentiments from other traders who attended, but I can recognize that not every person was pleased with it. My goal with this posting is not to debate our feelings about the experience, which can only be subjective and are unlikely to change anyway, but to add some balance by noting that there were satisfied customers. We come from many different backgrounds and experiences, and no specific seminar will be practical and useful for all of us. Robin's prospectus placed heavy emphasis on the emotional and psychological aspects of trading, and she indicated that she would be employing techniques from her years of experience in performance training. Whether or not one agrees with her approach I felt that she and her team worked very hard at delivering value. It is possible that disappointments of this kind are due simply to differing needs and expectations among us that are not realized until the seminar is underway. -Earl
