I took the Better Trades Market Essentials trading course in March of 2010. For some, the $3, 000 cost of the 2-day class may have been worth every penny; however, I though it was a waste of money. I only took it because of the money back guarantee that they have. They do tell you in their sales pitch that if you do not triple your income IN 6 months, making at least 6 option trades per month (36 trades total), you are guaranteed to get your money back. What they FAIL to tell you is that the 6 months starts on the date you take the financial expo. How convenient for them to leave that small, but significant piece of information out. In my personal opinion, it would be best to invest the money yourself following the guide of investment experts like Jim Cramer or Suze Orman.
