What website? the link in my profile? did you ever bother to look at it to see that this is not a trading school website and I am not associate with it in any shape or form, you can go ahead and ask the owner...

The only reason this site is in my profile is to show the naive people interested in the stock market that they should never ever pay for a trading school or trust a trading guru, because all of them are failed traders out to scam and steal... Just read trough the heart breaking stories and maybe just maybe someone in the community can help put some of those people in jail... Thant is the whole idea, but I bet you wouldn't understand...



It appears that the owner of that site is also a scammer of sorts.

But I assume you already knew that.


Absolutely, he is a convicted felon, went to jail and paid it's debt to society.. It is stated right there on his website...

Firstly, I'd like to apologize to you again for misinterpreting the link in your profile as being a site you run (you could put in your profile that you are unaffiliated). Lots of people here run sites, so you will understand that I thought it was to your site.

The warning you just linked (it's down at the moment but here is an archive[1]) says "If [someone says] that he consistently makes $1,000 per day, well that’s great. But have them show you proof in the form of account statements."

So I don't see why you became so upset with me when I asked for a similar proof from you - I was fine if you make it anonymously! (Blanking out all of the identifying information).

I would assume that you are being honest, and after all you do have a bit of karma here. So what I asked for is exactly what the site you linked suggests - just some indication of the size of your portfolio, even if you make it anonymous.

Sorry again about misinterpreting your link as a site that you run.

If this is the case I don't understand why you don't want to give some indication of the "order of magnitude" of your accounts, which you phrased in your original suggestion to original top-level OP (that he should start trading) as, "I have been doing this for years and it changed my life forever in a sense that my family will never have to worry about money and talking generations here."

As you correctly point out, I am putting faith in you because you could photoshop whatever you wanted, but I am asking you not to do so, just show what size you're talking about about. I still have no idea what size that is to you, and asked out of curiosity.

Sorry that I misinterpreted you to be running that site. Most people here put links to their own site in their profile, since a lot of people here run web sites. (And it is, after all, your profile.)

I would appreciate the anonymous proof I asked for. you can post an anonymized screenshot. I would like to follow your advice which you've written in some detail in numerous comments.
