I am a former member of Forex Confidential and I continue to recieve his emails for the purpose of amusement. I follow along and like to watch his "flavor of the month" trading system crash and burn as it always does.
Even though I am making jokes about Steve Dewitt and his "trading methods", it really is not funny at all to those of us (including myself) that have lost money with this clown. Why can't Steve realize that whatever he is doing is just not working --
no matter what system he trades with? And, therefore, why doesn't he just pack it in and stop hurting others through draining their bank accounts? There are people out there who are financially desperate and will try anything to make money to survive on. Steve Dewitt is taking advantage of these desperate people. If he truly is a "man of God" as he portrays himself, and if he cares about others as he claims he does, then he should immediately get out of the forex business of providing false hope and stop bilking people out of their money. If he is such a great trader as he has often claimed, then he should just trade by himself and only for himself.
It is not a stretch to say that Steve Dewitt cannot make sufficient money through his own trading. Therefore, the only way he can substain his lifestyle is through people subscribing to his "trading services". About a year or so ago, in an email he sent out, he happened to mention he had 500 members. At the time he was charging $129 per month. Let's do the math: 500 members x $129/month =
$64,500 PER MONTH!
He is a master marketer and knows how to sell himself (do a internet search and you will see he was a major MLM'er and into other businesses as well). And at one time several years ago he had some trading credibility. Combine those things and that is how he gained so many subscribers. However, I seriously doubt if he has anywhere near 500 subscribers today (assuming that he ever did have that many). I think it is obvious that as long as people are duped into believing he can make them money, they will, instead, continue to make HIM money.
