isnt investing in some course just like taking another trade? whether your/ my judgement was right or wrong is my responsability that I should either profit or learn from instead of going crying to some self appointed 'trading police' who for all I know could be 'better or worse than the last 'trade' that I just took.......but wont know until I take it !!
in the world of trading which is just people buying or selling stuff on percieved values.......not really caring if your opposing fellow trader gets rich or 'gets stuffed', this all seems a bit odd.
wouldnt the time & effort be better spent volunteering & helping people (kids esp) who really are getting a bad deal
.....just my initial thought's

Hello Zenda,
I have just watched your video. I recently did a free investing course organised by one of the people you mention in your video. The company regularly advertises in the Financial Times and is figurheaded by an energetic 30 something english lad who claims to have worked for free learning the tricks of top investors. There is a free seminar followed up by a several thousand pound programme. Win Investing.
Anyway I was impressed at the free talk that I seriously thought about paying for the follow on course. But I said to myself I would follow the suggestions made in the free seminar to see if they work. So I signed up to Investaquest and applied some of the guidelines given, although not sticking to the original the 5 stocks strategy (quite similar to Beating the Dow I later learned). Anyway the duration of the investaquest compettion ,four months, and the stock correction in May/June meant that I had finished down about 15% although my stocks were recovering across the board. I felt if the competition had more time they would have begun to do well. So I was encouraged by that and have looked into the idea of longer term investment simulation software similar to that provided on oanda but for trades.
Anyway my point is that the Winters free seminar was good for encouraging me to believe that I could do well in the stock market. They did mention to paper trade which is what I am doing. However they do lead you to believe that you would achieve stellar returns on completing the programme. So that is why I would be interested in watching your follow up videos. To hear your take on it along with taking in the losses made by or accounts of others. Perhaps you will be considering the guarantee they give that if you follow their code to the T and loose money that they will refund you your total initial investment.
I have to say though that I will not be paying for any training/coaching for the foreseaable fututre. I have bought myself some college textbooks and am working through those. It has occurred to me that people who go on crash courses go to more crash courses. Although I have observed that there are very talented people contributing to this site who may well provide completely transparent and useful information.
Cheers,
Merstocks

One of the ideas I suggested to the Moderators of this website was to do unbiased in-house reviews of the top software programmes. A bit like Jack O' Clubs is doing on Trade Predictor in his journal here on T2W.
If they say they haven't got the time to do a "Which" style one day delayed trading analysis then farm out programmes to any interested members. If the software companies are unwilling to supply their programmes then it should be stated as such. Think of all that free advertising !!
Another idea is to treat it much as motor-cycle racing. Substitute Ducati, Honda etc for Metstock, Market Matrix etc and let them compete against each other in a competition. Some independents too - with XYZ software ???

Its Sad But I will let my students talk for me - because of the content in some of the posts I shall again refrain from posting again in this forum - I don't need to.
What they say about the Forex Workshop
John is a fabulous Teacher humerous,easy going, kind, understanding but above all a man of huge integrity with real knowledge THE BEST I HAVE EVER ATTENDED Superb value for money.- George Seago-13th Oct 06
Excellent for beginners NO Bull**** or selling system, just practical down to earth advice, its reasonably priced and will save you a fortune going elswhere!! Neil Prior 13th Oct 06
Very easy to follow. excellent content Very thorough, Fantastic value with all the extras given at the end of the course - FANTASTIC TEACHER!! VERY FREINDLY!! THANK YOU - Mathew S-13th Oct 06
Simply presented and good relaxed atmosphere. Good build up from light start to dealing withg more complex issues Richard Care- 13th Oct 06
The Best course on Forex they can attend - A.M.
As Usual John excellent content, well presented in plain language, no hype, great freebies would recommend you anytime, excellent value – Mike Lucas
Very good course lots of information conveyed clearly. Good common sense. John is very patient with absolute beginners. – Jan Wrigley
A very good course. The practical down to earth approach was particularly welcome. Concepts were put across clearly and the use of a ‘Live’ Trading platform meant that knowledge is easily applied. Good humour and enjoyable throughout. – Chris Gordon
Excellent venue, food was amazing. Very down to earth and realistic, John tells it “Like it is” in an easy to understand format. Great Value – Paul Taylor
Excellent Venue with a tasty choice of snacks/lunch. Certainly preferable to any London Venue. Much appreciated day of Forex information and trading techniques. Good presentation of a complex subject with vital tips and recommendations. – Mike Raines
Initial doubts and fears dissolved about Forex trading. John has a genuine desire to help. I feel I am not alone. John is doing great work and great value – Paul Holman
John is an excellent instructor, explaining Forex in plain English with no BS – Marc Virgo
I came with an open mind and was pleasantly surprised. John you are excellent, the course was explained fully, easy to understand, good visual displays. Amazed at the amount of material we received, this course is well recommended- Barbara Purville
A fun and information packed day with the basics of forex trading explained by a teacher and coach who walks his talk. John’s ability to communicate so many aspects of this fascinating and lucrative subject represents great value for money. A great day – Malcolm Horsey
This is just what I need to extend my portfolio of financial activities. This course kept me awake all day! You have no idea what praise that is. The cost of the course and professional approach is exemplary – John Welburn
I really loved it. I’m a real beginner, I would never imagine that I could enter this fantastic world , thanks John, - Maria Teixlira
Surprised to find that almost anyone can do this, I have now decided that this is for me after a one day course. I will not pay a penny for some of these so called professional systems wonderful way of presenting the course and so easy to understand Good value for money. – Peter Gould
Prior to attending the course I knew nothing about trading. I now feel equipped to pursue this as a possible business venture. I also love the idea of being able to practice trading using the demo sites provided. The course was clear and concise. There was ample information provided to enable a first timer like myself to get off the ground without feeling confused by all the info on the market. Ms C Williams

chuffin' 'eck - what a to-do
I am trying to work what this thread is about! ( when I have stopped laughing at the posts
petard, hoist, own )
As yet, Zenda, has yet to provide a definition of a "scam".
As has already been pointed out, you cant just "go off on one" about others, especially as libel / slander issues may embroil T2W unnecessarily.
( has the youtube presentation been posted on your own website ? )
anyway, what is a scam? what are its essential characteristics?

A noble cause Zenda but going from the video one that I think is going to leave you open to litigation
Your background in the financial services industry is not a qualification for any sort of financial training that would be useful in direct market trading.
I see you are described as a successful trader, on what basis is this ?
I am not having a go at you I do note that you have some good feedback from your beginners courses but I am sure that those mentioned in the video could also provide some positive feedback and maybe some that have gone on to do well in trading
at the end of the day there will always be people willing to take money from the exploitation of others lack of knowledge or experience
