>>>"During my trading calls I frequently hear..." (What does this refer to? What are her "trading calls"? I don't think she's talking derivatives...)<<< Happy to clear something up, JB -- think I've got this one figured out... A "trading call" is when a graduate of the Dayne "Total Trading Mastery in 48 Hours" Seminar calls up Robin in a panic wailing, "I've done everything you said! How has my trading account balance gotten so low and why do I feel that my emotions are tailspinning out of control?" This service is billable at $200 per hour, minimum charge $100, VISA and MasterCard accepted. There you go...another mystery solved! Bud

JB, Excellent, and most interesting, analysis. I bet your full list would be quite hilarious. And you're right, of course. It seems that what Tony Robbins does is take people who are not afraid to speak in public and teach them how really neat and easy it is to just give seminars to anyone, anytime, anywhere, on any subject. Especially on the subject of daytrading. Everyone has heard about it, everyone has dreamed of doing it, and everyone is afraid of it. So, tell them you're going to teach them all about controlling their emotions. It's just that simple. Then, sit back and watch the $$$ roll in. Better than a real job, especially if you don't have any real credentials and can't get one. And you can do it anytime you like, from any location you like. Can't beat it for a career. You know, some people are really good at public speaking. Or, at least, they "think" they are. And most people are so afraid of something that they listen to these speakers and want to believe anything they're saying. Adolf Hitler, for example, was a person like this. Jim Jones, too. You remember the tragedy he caused. The dude in Waco, Tx, David Somebody.....and the list goes on and on and on. And always will. There's always someone who wants to feed off the "little people." And, now we can add Robin Dayne to that long list of folks to stay away from. But, I'd love to hear your take, one day, on the rest of her "Deadly Sins" list. Quite interesting. Bill
