Its absolutely pathetic. You mentor people who deserve help for free.
Pathetic is harsh.

Things are not always black and white. Some people just like people.

The first thing that comes to my head is Marcel’s wife saying, “You never spend any time with me, and you are giving your time away for free to these traders, Huuh.”

I would not call any trader good enough to get into the Market Wizards books “stupid”
They are quite happy to talk about coaching they have received.

If this is your honest opinion then I would put money on the fact you have never done a business start-up, employing and managing staff, either that or you are a top banana who gets your HR Dept. to do that for you.

I cannot believe I have been drawn into T2W semantic Lulz
You'd lose your money. I've created/funded/exited many start ups..

Ok I was right then and you are a Top Banana.

But do you honestly find managing people less grief than not managing people?
