JB2, thanks for pointing this out. "Trolling" is a good way to describe it. Sad, but true. My thoughts on the subject: Message 9702351 Message 9702293 Bill

This extended bull market, and the spread of daytrading is really bringing out the hucksters. Any time a crowd gathers, it attracts pick-pockets and scam artists. Robin Dayne is just another one. What amazes me, is that she's such a clumsy one. From what I understand, she tried to learn from the master (Tony Robbins), and she's been inspired by Wade Cook, but these guys have their act down pat. She's just a greedy amateur hoping to launch a scammy career. Well, she doesn't measure up. The more people here can warn newbie traders against the likes of Robin Dayne, the better. This is the true function of SI - raising consumer awareness. Many hucksters use SI as a recruiting ground - as Robin Dayne is apparently doing... and it's good to see others use this forum to warn against these scammers. Taking those kinds of "classes" and "seminars" is not only a waste of money, a waste of time, but can be dangerous to those who buy the hype and go on to lose their shirts in the market, having been utterly unprepared (or worse, mislead). In such cases always ask yourself - if the gold mines are so profitable, why do you find so many "gold miners" sit outside trying to sell you a map to the gold. There is no substitute for going out there, digging on your own, and paying with the sweat of your brow. You work hard for the money - don't give it away to those who pray on your hopes, dreams, and yes - your greed. JB2, Bill Dwyer, and others - good job, and thank you for your vigilance. Morgan
