Not Even on a Silver Platter

What if you were given the opportunity to be personally trained by

a leading trading expert? Would you take it? What if that training

included an opportunity to be mentored for one year and, if you

demonstrated ability and skill, you would be offered capital to

trade? Would you do it? In 1998 that is exactly what I offered. I called

it my "trading scholarship program." I was looking for talented

traders. I had been hearing for years that all they needed was a

break. There were only three requirements:

1. They had to be over 18 years of age.

2. They had to successfully complete four specific tradingschool.

com courses.

3. They had to demonstrate skill and ability in trading.

If any individual met these three requirements, I would arrange for

them to have capital to trade. How much? If they showed the ability

to trade and followed the trading plan, over $1 million. Oh, I forgot

to mention, they would keep 90 percent of the profits. I estimate

that well over 200,000 people in the Los Angeles area heard me

make this offer, and I repeated it over a period of five months. How

many people do you think enrolled in the trading scholarship program?

Read the offer again and guess how many applied. I was personally

shocked by the number of people who applied. For some

people, this offer was literally the chance of a lifetime. Opportunity

knocks only once or twice in life, and if you do not open the door it

goes away. How many took the opportunity? Would you have been

one of them? How many do you think took advantage of this oncein-

a-lifetime opportunity? The answer is one. No, this is not a misprint.

One person followed through. I could not believe it.

You see, even when an opportunity is offered on a silver platter,

the majority of people will not take the time or do the work necessary

to be successful, not even for $1 million.
