I said I purchased his courses. The info was presented both in video & locked e-book format. That's how I know the info could be found elsewhere. I don't know what the extent of your trading knowledge/experience is, I'm sure you'll agree that just about all info for sale is just a re-hash of commonly known indicators/trading methods. Not saying there isn't good stuff out there, it is, but it's rare. Just have to sift thru the chaff to get to the wheat. I did talk to Barry Burns personally & he could do nothing regarding difficulties of the files(the e-books).
I see, so you could get the video files to open, but not the E-books? Is that correct? How long ago was this and which courses did you actually purchase?
The videos and documents (PDF files) are all individually wrapped up in a security wrapper, which needs an unlock code. For any given course, the same unlock code unlocks both the videos and PDFs. Or was not that your experience?
My total trading experience is a bit less than a year I suppose, but that consists of about 6 months fairly intensive trading, followed by a several month complete break, during which time I forgot a lot of what I had learned, plus the market conditions seemed to have changed pretty radically (pre and post credit crunch, you might say). So my learning curve getting back into it has been pretty steep and I've been glad of any help I can get. Yes, some of his stuff was familiar to me, but other stuff was new. And even the old stuff was presented in a sensible and very clear manner. Even if all the underlying systems & methodology isn't unique, or even the "best", I would say as learning material, it's actually some of the best I've come across, i.e. he's a good teacher. (Good traders do not necessarily make the best teachers; good teachers may or may not be good traders). (I know "those who can, do, those who can't teach" is the old cliché - it may be true of some teachers. It is not true of all teachers.)
Don't you have consumer protection legislation in the USA?
I would have thought that if you paid for something, and (in effect) didn't receive it, you would have a legal right to your money back.
In addition, on his site, he offers:
stock market trading and forex trading strategy - Products_Course_1
"3 MONTH GUARANTEE:
Enjoy my 90 day no-questions-asked 100% money-back guarantee. Back test it or paper trade this method on any market and any time frame for 3 months and prove it to yourself!"
Did you avail yourself of either your legal rights, or his money-back guarantee?
If he refused to honour this, you have his address and phone number.
Presumably you could take him to court.
