Got this great email from Glen Bradford (he wanted me to use his name, so there ya Glen, hope this doesn’t get you a spanking from mommy) a few weeks ago and thought I’d share:
I’ve been loosely following your stuff. Told my mom she
should look into you cause you make money. Thought her response was
immaturely hilarious and that I’d share it with you.
I was reading some stuff- he is very rude. That is not necessary and
immature and unprofessional. Please don’t use that behavior as your
role model. If what you have to say it that important the facts
should stand for themselves. Please work on respect and appreciation
instead. That’s what most people really want. Oprah had a whole show
on it yesterday. You wont get older rich clients by being a jerk.
Dear Glen’s Mom,
There is no respect and appreciation in the stock market, especially in the gutter of the stock market aka penny stocks. Being rude is not only more fun for me/entertaining for my readers–God knows finance is boring enough–but it also helps my students understand that game is not about being polite and superficial, that way of working on Wall Street is dead.
The key to lasting success on Wall Street is to do business fairly, don’t be too greedy and don’t trust anyone.
Oprah has built a great brand, but her audience is different than what works on Wall Street. In fact, I’d wager if her audience tried trading, 99% of them would fail within the first week or two.
No, I will continue doing what I do, the way that I do it, most importantly, because my rudeness, unprofessionalism and immaturity show that I’m real, unlike the rest of the BS snakeoil salesmen out there.
PS I’ve already said this several times, I don’t want rich clients, my strategy works best for poor people & poor people are real…like me.
