I've answered this question literally a hundred times, and that's why I will answer it publicly.
The criticism collapses because it ignores basic logic. Success creates credibility—and credibility creates opportunity. That’s how the real world works.
Does anyone seriously buy courses from people who fail in the market? You should be happy that those who succeed on a large scale are willing to share what they’ve learned.
Here’s the irony: when I didn’t teach, I was criticized for “hoarding the secrets” and only helping large institutional clients who were already wealthy. For twelve years, McGraw Hill asked me to write a book. Then, when I decided to share my knowledge with the public, suddenly some suggested my motives were sinister and my track record was irrelevant, because God forbid, I actually got paid for my time and charged what the world was willing to pay. Lol! 🤣What a concept!
What’s truly comical is that some people seem offended that I’m not one-dimensional—that I trade at an elite level and choose to teach, build, and participate fully in capitalism. Apparently, I’m supposed to give everything away for free or “stick to trading.”
Funny how that logic is only applied to me.
If we applied the same standard to people who are far wealthier than I am, then I guess Michael Jordan should give away shoes, Apple should give away iPhones, and billionaires should stop building businesses the moment they achieve a certain level of success.
The most ridiculous part of these comments is that they’re coming from stock traders—people actively trying to profit from capitalism—while talking like socialists. You can’t speculate in free markets, chase asymmetric returns, and then suddenly pretend you’re offended by someone creating value, building a business, and getting paid for it. That’s not principle—that’s hypocrisy.
Is Michael Jordan’s track record somehow invalid because he makes billions selling shoes, hats, and jerseys? Of course not. His success on the court created those opportunities. Is Bill O’Neil discredited because he sold newspapers, charting software, and trading courses? No. Bill changed the investing world and gave access to ideas that were once reserved only for the rich.
That’s what real impact looks like. Results come first. Influence follows. And if it were free, few would appreciates it.
I've done free speaking engagements where people were actually sleeping in the front row. I CAN ASSURE YOUR NO ONE IS SLEEPING AT MY MASTER TRADER PROGRAM WORKSHOP. They pay what it's worth. And because of their commitment, they take it seriously, they are attentive, and in return, they get my commitment.
I’m not successful as a businessman in spite of my trading success—I’m successful because of it. My track record created demand. Demand created opportunity. And I chose to build something meaningful with it. And that has led to a passing of the torch and success all over the world.
I earned my credibility in the market. I built something valuable because people asked for it. And I’ll continue to do exactly that—without apology.
Now my faithful followers will message me and say "why respond to these clowns?" My answer is always the same. Discord is good. The world is collapsing under division. We need to discuss and intelligently talk things out. Make an argument, but make it intelligently and allow for all side to express their views. Then we can learn from each other and make the world a better place.
I don't have the time to do this with every comment. But sometimes I like to share my perspective.
May God bless you all with love in your heart.
