I am not sure what links you were talking about in my posts as I did not put any in as I agree with you on why they should not be there. Maybe it is one of the three box’s when you leave a reply. 1. Is my name 2. My email 3. My web address I would have thought only my name would appear in the post.

In the decades that I have been in this industry, when talking to people about programs like this and educators, I find that the majority do very little research and this is why companies like ELS and the marketing educators with the free seminars and DVDs get away with what they do. I know we get people coming in the door to check out whether we have an office and to meet my staff and I to satisfy themselves as to our legitimacy and credibility and I am very fine with that, but the vast majority to their detriment don’t.

So here is what I say to anyone looking at software providers or education providers in the share market.
1. Always quantify what they say
2. Always qualify what they say
3. Stay away if they have a one page website with very little information that promotes getting something free if you register.

i.e ForpPoints 1&2 If they say that are ASIC approved (which by the way is impossible) ask them how are they ASIC approved? secondly ask them to prove it. Once you have this you can then do your own independent research to check it out for yourself.

Lastly just to protect yourself call ASIC or the ASX and ask as you never know it might just save you $9k.

Just an update: I have still not been contacted from anyone who has made money from ELS or any other trading software program.

NO !!!

You WILL lose youre money !

Can it be simpler than that ???

I have not been able to log in and post or check comments for a few weeks.

I will leave the comments suggesting sharia type punishements. No one is going to take them seriously as a call to action, and it does no harm for the perpetrators of these scams to understand how deeply ordinary people are hurt, and how angry, when the money they have struggled to put aside to make their retirement a litte more comfortable, or saved for some special purpose, is stolen by a bunch of sociopaths who live in Gold Coast mansions and tool around in sports cars.

I will, however, remove the links to his site from Dale’s two comments.

I am glad to have input from people with knowledge of the stock market and financial industry. But it is important that there be no suggestion that this blog has an interest in or benefits in any way from promoting any particular scheme, product or service.

The only links to any products on this site are to books on Amazon, and the only advertising is Google ads, the content of which we have no control over.

We receive threats and blackmail about criticisms here by me and commenters about JBC, CFS and ESL. We receive no financial benefit whatever.
