 REVIEWS

Here's what our members are saying ...

 
"Dan, I'm looking forward to your weekend recap and thoughts for next week (and I suspect others are, too). Since you started them, I have been making much better trades. This improvement is not simply because the market has stopped plummeting for the time being, but because I can much better understand now to relate the index movements to the chart I am studying for the price and movement of that stock. As I look back at my records, I can see good stocks I traded at the wrong time. Now I make trades that work by comparing the chart (BB, MAs, time frames, support, resistance, intraday lows, etc.) to the indexes and what the markets are doing. In other words, I wait for them to come to me. Seeing all this was not obvious and common-sense. Thanks for the excellent instruction."

Russ


"Thank you Dan. These market recaps are fantastic. Your site is a such a great value and it's getting better and better. I'm so glad I found you -- you've really helped me navigate through the last couple of months. Thanks again and keep up the great work."

Gabrielle


"Hello new people. I am certain you will find this site unlike any other investment aid on the web. The power of this site lies within the membership rather that the ownership. Each member brings a world of information and experience to share with other members. Imagine being able to have a top notch trader at your disposal to answer any question you may have. Well here you will have several hundred. As a result it creates an extremely powerful and multi-faceted site to support each others investment goals. As a trader you need a good trading platform, a good charting reference, a good link to market information and most of all a great community to sort it all out with you.  Best wishes here."

Craigy


"Dan -- your video presentations on Focus Stock List stocks are incredible -- make understanding the trade so easy, even a caveman could do it!! Thanks for all the work you've put in to help the mentored."

R.G.


"By the way, when I found out your website was up and working, I immediately subscribed. I purchased [...] shares this morning of XEC, your newest focus stock, and it is doing nicely this afternoon. Nice one!"

David Kamlet


"Been here, lurking. Just like to say thanks to you Dan. Haven't even been here a month but already paid for my subscription many times over. Thanks again. Great bunch of people."

sgr606


"Dan, there is so much excellent, substantive content here that I never catch up.....was very busy with positions all day, so I have a lot of reading to do. Your direct answers to any and all questions make this the most user friendly site....a classroom in a box."

Luggy


"Dan, I'm relatively new to TA (in my fourth month). The Weekend Update I just read is exactly the kind of information I've been looking for. I can't tell you how appreciative I am to discover your work and that of the many talented and sharing individuals who post on your blog. I feel confident that I'll continue to grow my nest egg and will now know how to protect it during downtrends. With the education I'm getting here I'll be able to cut down on some subs that are no longer helpful, saving money and keeping me more focused. "

"Whoever, by the way, claimed trading was a lonely profession obviously never acquainted themselves with the great group of folks here on the mentor. Thanks Fitz for providing the ambience–and thanks everyone else for making it worth coming to sip the grape juice and eat the cheese."

Newt


"Dan, your site is awesome even though it's under "construction." There's quite a group of diverse people here, and everyone has been very respectful. It sure makes a difference to me.  You keep this up Dan and your site will be one-stop shopping. Great stuff."

ProfitBuilder


"Dan, Great website and thanks for the constant education!"
