Its the pefect example. Even with 'proven' records theres still doubt....and for good reason.
Beyond everyone being given access to the vendors trading account i cant see how providing a statement will placate all suspicion. Mike prob did the best job of transparency.
I too am quite surprised that the thread keeps going on as you described above despite some participants having been banned.
It seems to me as well that there is a compelling tendency for some people to have their own beliefs prevailing at all cost, despite most content I have seen tantamount to speculation (in both camps) and nothing more.
I know Mike is on holiday - Perhaps @sam028 can step in and rein in the thread?
Otherwise we truly risk degenerating into the likes of trade2win and so forth.
I wanted to edit my post but you already responded so let me clarify: Word of mouth only works if the records are real. In the case of Madoff they were faked although the early birds to the Ponzi got still good returns. It is still a bad example, because nobody is accusing the vendors running a ponzi, they are just suspected not having a real profitable track record.
Now again, if some people say that they got their money's worth in education from the vendor, so be it, but people say that about homeopathy too.
So unless followers can prove that hey look, my trading improved X percent after taking Al's or whoever's course, it is only feelings. And with feelings we usually go to church not to the bank...
AFAIK Mike is able to read the forum from time to time, I let him decide what to do.
This thread started to make me a bit sick few days ago, I decided to avoid reading it for some time and keep calm...
I unsubscribed from this thread a few days ago but I thought I would check in...
It appears that all possible angles have been covered in very spirited dialogue. I however, don't believe this topic needs to be discussed further.
Let's wait to see Al Brooks respond to the questions/assumptions about whether or not he trades live for a living and whether or not he is willing to disclose any evidence to support it.
His answer, whatever they may be will almost certainly dictate the future of this thread and probably many others. Whilst I do believe @Big Mike should consider some eligibility/transparency criteria for current and future vendors, it needs to be handled the right way.
So can we all please respectfully agree to disagree. No more posts in this thread until after the Al Brooks webinar in early December?

Will you look to learn to drive and not verify that your teacher knows how to and drive?
Will you go to learn how to play the piano and not listen to the teacher practicing the piano?
Can you get a licence as electrician without work side by side a practicing electrician?
will you listen to a instructions of how to write computer code from someone that dose not have a computer?
So why would you learn how to trade from someone that you did not see he is a real trader????
Are you saying that as long as you're a good teacher you can sell a product that has no proof of being profitable? It could be complete BS but you can peddle it on this site as long as you're good at teaching the BS? Am I reading this correctly?
