Ok... I see now you are going to other threads telling people I'm an idiot because I did not speak to former students. If you must know, here's why I didn't: 1) They would have me speak with people who liked the class so it would be pointless anyway. 2) Whether the class was useful to someone else really has no bearing on whether or not it would be useful to me. I was able to determine that it is useful to me by carefully asking questions regarding the course content. No, I did not get upset when you presented another class. I don't give a rip. If I hadn't already signed up for this one I would look into it, but I've already made my choice and paid my money. For you to run around telling everyone I am going to be fleeced (even on other threads) is stupid because you haven't researched this firm at all. I got upset because you proceeded to call me a fool simply because I hadn't done everything you would do if you were going to take a course. Respond if you like but I am through giving you any more of my valuable time. If you go read your posts to me and put yourself in my shoes I think you might get an understanding of why I think you are being a jerk.

Well what's really funny is that I took my own advice and went back and read your posts, and my posts, and your posts... ;-) Anyway, suffice it to say that your posts were not as insulting as I remembered so what do you say we just bury the hatchet and I buy you a virtual drink? Whether it comes out good or bad I will do my best to provide an unbiased report on the EdgeTrade training class when I get back. If it does turn out to be a joke, at least everyone else can avoid it. If not, then cool. I do agree with you BTW on the large number of people getting fleeced by the daytrading thing. I think it is especially common when people who know nothing about the market are taking their life's savings and they take a course which convinves them they can succeed at daytrading when in reality most of them will fail even if they have the best training around. Of course it isn't just in daytrading... I know a couple who spent $5,000 to take a weekend seminar on options trading from a guy who is generally acknowledged all over the internet to be a crook. Although I supplied them with this info prior to them taking the course it didn't matter -- they had $$ in their eyes and proceeded to lose a lot of money over the last year. I honestly believe that before anyone ever takes a daytrading class they should invest as a regular investor for at least a year so they get a feel for how the market works... and maybe get a feel for just how quickly your money can be lost as well as made.
