To my New found trusted friends. My coach is Harry and I wish I had met him 21 months ago. Last week he encouraged me to set stops on the 19 holdings I had in my retirement account. I followed his advice and within two days I was stopped out on all but 3 stocks. The sad part of this story is that I could of saved $144,000.00 of loss over that same period of time.( 21 months) If I had met Harry just 60 days ago I would of saved 60,000.00 of that total. However the good part of this story is I will never own any kind of stock in the future, without stops. Additionally this group of indivduals have done nothing but encourage me to look forward and be confident to continue the course with this new found knowledge.The first thing I would lock away in my memory, if I was a new student, is to never forget my lession. I am a 63 soon to be 64 year old guy.Please follow this group of peoples advice and you will be ok and the day you reach my age you will be alot happier, richever and enriched to have known them. I could on and on about my story of life but we all have our own to reflect on. Thanks for your great support Gary Swanby

Hi Adam,
I signed up with your program in July and am having a blast. Just wanted to let you know my appreciation and wish I could have found you sooner, which would have saved me a lot of money last year. I especially wanted to comment on Todd. He has been great, and I think of him more as a friend than as a coach. We have fun and joke with each other a lot, especially when I was talking about asking a girl out at work and applying the risk/reward rules to that situation. We generally work with options as that is what I like, but, of course, apply the same rules as your program with some tweaks every now and then. Ha I work at nights so it is hard for me to listen live to your calls, but I always download them immediately and take them to work. They are extremely valuable and I hope to stay with you for a long time. If I have any questions, I know I can ask Todd for clarification but generally, I don't have that many. I think I really grasp your program pretty well.
Much thanks,
Byron Baker

Dear Christian:
Thanks so much for another enlightening session and for correcting me on the rather haphazard way I was setting trailing stops, but they have worked beautifully for me in the past week as I was stopped out of TJX for a handsome profit and the stock continued down; I also took your advice and took a handsome profit on Wyndham resorts getting out near the high; and I tried to follow your advice on a OCO order on GES with a limit of $45 and a stop loss at 42.10 but the fidelity program I had would not let me transact this trade at these prices; it required a 5% differential between the limit and the stop loss. As a result when I saw the stock was at 4.98---almost at $5, right after we talked. I simply sold it at the market and took my profit.
Sometimes I have a hearing problem ( I have a hearing deficit) so I appreciate the clear, forceful way you communicate; I also appreciate how you keep me on task and make the best of the time we have together; as I learn more, I will be checking in with you more on email as we proceed. Life has been a little complicated recently as I have gone to a financial planner who required my wife and I to track every dime we spent last year--so she could advise us---that was painful; but the truth is we have to cut 30K from our yearly expenses for my wife to be able to give up her 120K yearly salary and for us to stay in an expensive home in Palo Alto--that costs us 56k a year (in mortgages, property taxes, homeowner fees, etc). So we have work ahead.
Glad your trip went well.
All the best,
Michael

Hello Adam,
David and I (Debbie) would like to say THANK YOU for Mr. Todd, he rocks. As a coach he has this way of teaching you where you can see yourself creating wealth.
I'm sure you have heard this story before we saw a ad on TV for Better Trades we went and took the course. Now don't get me wrong we never heard of options trading before and what we knew about the stock market was you had to have a lot of money and buy stock and then hold on to it. Then when you retire you will have something to fall back on. HA!!!
So we learned about options was you did not need much cash to get started and you could make some bucks. Now don't get me wrong with better trades we did learn what options were but since the coaches can not really help you with a trade - you are really on your own buying there 2 hours classes hoping something will click.
This is where a email to David from you changed all of that and lead us to your site and then to Coach Todd (awesome dude). Since we started with your company we have had more winning trades then losers as long as we remember the plan (smile).
As a coach what can I say Todd is very understand and can explain things on any level, if you do not get it the first time he will break it down until you get it and he does this without making you feel like a idiot. We are glad to let you know he is a keeper and very very glad we had a chance to have him as our coach teaching us the in's and out's of options. We are very sad not to have our one on ones weekly calls, but Todd let us know he will be there when ever we have questions.
So in closing - we would like to say Thank you and Todd, the weekly group calls are great and we hope to be with you all for a very long time. We know you all do not have to do what you do but we are damn luck you do...

Hello Adam – I was impressed that you took the time to call me today; thank you! As you recall; I bought the KBE at 25.44; and after our conversation, put my stop in at 24.30. (3%) Left at 2:15pm for my kids school pick-ups and got back at 3:30pm. Saw what the market was doing, waiting until 3:53; and closed out KBE at 27.70. The stock closed at 28.40 – so I could have made another 70cents. My rationale for doing it this way – yesterday, the last five minutes of trading went into a nosedive; and I didn’t want to have that happen, or come in tomorrow with the market opening down again. (although with the Fed decision, I doubted that would happen). Anyway, please tell me what you would have done in my shoes. (or yours!) It was a very good day for me overall; I went up about $8K on some call options and closed them out. I hope I can get all my other positions closed out by Friday so I can just concentrate on my “lessons”. Let me know the good, bad and ugly. Thanks Adam! Kathryn

"Every day I see more and more what of you were talking about. It works! If i would do like you were teaching me, i would of made a lot of money! All of my losses- my personal fouls! All i have to do - stick to the system! Thanks, looking forward to hearing from you!!!"

Dear Adam,
We talked about tis sone time ago. I starter my Fidelity Active Trader Account back in December, My trading began sometime: in March? I started with $5,000,00 dollars. With your's (and my coaches help) I would not have made the progress that I was taught! Since March 2010, I have been able to "Bank": $92, 469.00 off from my original investment. of $5000.00 dollars. At times I can only take a few points (2 or 3) other times I can take 5- 10. My coach made the market pretty clear. There is money to be made, right now! Every day, I watch stocks that will move 10 points up and 10 points down. I am NOT, educated in the market, But Adam's system will work IF you pay attention and have some "Common Sence", it can work for: everyone!
Thank You Adam

“When I first thought of joining with Adam’s company, I was probably the most skeptical person you could find. An experienced business owner myself, I know how overwhelming one can get & at times, not be able to deliver all that is promised,when it’s expected. Adam actually spoke to me patiently, for probably longer than he would have liked, answering all my questions, attempting to make me feel comfortable with him & the program. Still somewhat skeptical, I thought I’d give it a try. After just a few weeks into the program, I’ve decided that ADAM IS THE REAL DEAL!! He, as well as his associates have been nothing but helpful, informative & attentive to my needs. All my calls & emails have been answered, promised mailings delivered, & the program is being explained in a manner that I can understand & work with. I’m expecting great returns for my investment & now believe that Adam & his team will see to it that I get just that!! Great job, guys!!“
-- Diane Williams
Todd,
Just wanted to say, once again, thank you for all you have taught me over the last few months. You have been a great coach and I feel honored to have had the opportunity to learn from your life experiences in the market. I must admit I was skeptical going in, particularly considering the cost of the program was a little hard for me and my family budget to swallow. While I haven't made back the cost yet, I am confident that I now have the tools to do so...and so much more. You have transformed me from an impulsive, emotional gambler into an market savvy, calculating trader. I look forward to sending you updates on my milestones of success, and I am excited about the prospect of expanding my knowledge into the world of options one day.
Thanks again to you, Adam, and everyone else.

“Thank you Adam. I read some of your info and searched for a cup and handle in “stocks on the move” in IBD newspaper. I found XCO @ 24.94 I put in a stop limit @25.10 for 100 shares. just above the high in the handle of 25.00. When I looked at my account @11 am I noticed the Dow was down 177 points and all my other holdings were lower. BUT I had purchased XCO @ 25.10 and was now trading @ 27.00 I am excited . My first try with your method is a winner! ”

“Dear Adam, I am sending a testimonial about my coaching experience with Christian: “Before I had professional coaching lessons, I would look at stock charts and the lines would go up and down but I really didn’t understand what was being communicated. After my first coaching session with Christian, he explained what these lines and charts really meant to someone who is deciding whether or not to invest in this stock. After my second and third sessions, I began to understand what all these lines meant. Now I can look a chart and see clearly if this is a good stock to invest in and can actually foresee how this stock is going to perform and what I can expect from it. More importantly, I can understand where the entrance point is (where to buy) and where to sell! After about my fourth session, I felt I could understand the game being played! I feel that I can honestly “Invest Like A Pro!!”. My personal coach, Christian, was very professional, from being on time with our appointments to taking the time to fully explain all facets of the investment game so that I could understand and apply the data.” Sincerely, James Nickolai“
-- James Nickolai
“Hi! Thank you for the interesting sessions. I will miss our Tuesday afternoon calls. It was nice to bounce stocks off of someone and be able to talk about where each of us saw support and resistance. I will keep in touch and before I buy a stock I will send an email to see if we both feel the same way about the stock. I appreciate the coaching and feel that I have learned from you. You taught me how to read the charts and that is what I needed along with setting stops. I needed the confidence to know when to sell a stock. I never thought of having 2 portfolios, but will do so now. Sincerely, Joan“

Adam, first of all I want to thank you for finding a way for me to take advantage of what you have to offer. Like I was telling Jon at our first session, I joined Investools in September of 08′. It is a good piece of schooling no doubt, but never the less I have learned more practical information in our one hour session than all the hours of theory and long hours of studying did with them! Your practical approach to technicals reveals ideas and concepts that get right down to the point. I can’t wait until I’m actually diving in and finally trading. Thank you once again Rocky Collins

"Darryl
Thank you for the kind words and also for your friendship. You have succeeded in giving me the confidence that I need to invest properly, without emotion, and without ?investment professionals? who ply the buy and hold strategy, which has certainly not been profitable over the past ten years.
It is very unusual to meet someone who share so many beliefs and principles to guide their daily lives. I felt a connection with you on the first call, and once I found out that you are an East Coast guy, I knew why.
I wish you the best and I will certainly keep in touch with you and let you know how my investing and my life are going. Please give my best to Penny and if you ever get out this way, you have a place to stay and, at the very least if you are passing through, let?s have dinner and share a good glass of scotch and a nice bottle of wine.
Take care, my friend. We will talk soon.

Just wanted to say, Thank you. It might have taken me a little longer to get things going, but i'll bet I am one of the few (along with your other students) that made money while the market was going down. What a thrill - to actually be profitable is good; but to do it against the crowd is great. Granted my first trade was a small loss (thanks to you explaining where to put stops. But my second trade was a winner. My profit was just under $300 in a short period of time. Looking to do many more like this. By the way, I really enjoy the Thursday calls. Thanks again, Sandi
-- Sandi Rehborn
"Dear Adam,
I began trading about three months prior to enrolling in your coaching program. In that time I had some winning trades but mostly a lot of losers that I let ride. Now, after about a month of coaching, I've negated all of the losses I've ever had in the market and am fully profitable (and you better believe I'm going to protect that money now.)
I've also been explaining some of the things to my dad (who has payed for quite a few college educations through the market) and after talking about things like "The Rule of 5", you could just see a lightbulb go off in his head. Your advice can benefit newbies like me but apparently can also help seasoned investors.
For all those potential nay-sayers out there, yes, some amount of trading is luck, but as the old adage goes: "Luck is where preparation meets opportunity." Adam's training provides the preparation to recognize the opportunities and capitalize off of them.
Thank you so much!

Hi Adam,
Just finished my sixth coaching session with Todd and thanked him for his experienced, patient coaching, tools, forum and clarifying Webex presentations.
I want to thank you too.
I continue to practice, practice, practice on reading charts and they are no longer a mystery. What a discovery. I’m keeping four-to-five stocks going, trading a total of $14-15K, and have made 2/3rds of the $4500 course fee to date. And I’m having fun.
Thanks to your simple method, I found a low risk way to make money the rest of my life and I would recommend it to others.
This week I’m opening an options account and Todd will guide me through my first option trades the next two weeks. The goal: Make money on the way up AND down.
Thank you for the common sense method, tools, group coaching and forum. They’re working for me.
Health, wealth and peace,

Adam, I just finished my 8 coaching sessions with Darryl and wanted to drop you a line and let you know what a great program you have. I have traded stocks in the past, but always felt something was missing in my trading which prevented me from become a truly successful trader. Your coaching program has filled this void for me. Darryl has been a real pleasure to learn from and get to know. I'm very impressed with Darryl's trading knowledge and the skill in which he has helped guide me though the program. I would recommend Darryl to anyone.
Thank You!

Hey Darryl,
Wanted to thank you again for the great coaching, I'm continuing to learn a lot everyday. Your teachings are going to be a lifelong gift to me. I can't stress enough how happy I am that I found this system.
Hope you're doing well. I haven't been doing a lot of trading lately but a little hear and there, some good some not.
I have a question for you, I'm looking at X and thinking the candle pattern and level of 60 being broken might be a great setup for a short. Any thoughts on this?
Have a great day.

-- Matt Grossman
Hi Adam,
I think you probably remember me. I've stayed with the program (thank you for that) despite having to cancel the teaching sessions back in late 2009. And now, after 3 months of small ball, I've started to make some money and gain some confidence. I still don't have the capital to invest that I'd like, so I'm not making the kind of money I would like (isn't that true for all of us) but I'm doing what CoachDan recently described as "growing positions". It's tough to be patient at times, especially in this market, but I'm learning and its working!
I had an idea yesterday during your call and the discussion of the cup and handle that I hope proves helpful to you. I think, like everyone else, that what I most want is to be able to SEE the cup and handle in the chart. So what I did was I went into the chart for ARO in my Fidelity page (I couldn't do it in Yahoo finance) and copied it. I then dumped it into a simple Word document and started to play with drawing on it, to draw the cup and handle.
I've attached the doc and the graphic here, so you might play with it too. I thought it might be helpful to post a final document on the message board for people, with the picture of the cup and handle, or to give to students as part of your regular package of materials.
I hope this does help (and maybe someone else has already had this idea). But I wanted to do something to try to say thank you and express my gratitude to you. And if there is any way I can do other kinds of tasks for you like this (I do lots of independent consulting), don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks Adam.

My name is Jared Henson and I have been enrolled in your coaching class since around February and I have had great success. My stock coach Todd Horwitz has been a great instructor. He has help rebuild my confidence in investing into the stock market after a bad experience a few months before. I am full time firefighter and have a very awkward schedule, and Todd has been completely awesome with working with me.

Dear Adam: I was just sitting here thinking about how sincerely thankful I am to know you. With today’s economy problems, I just wanted you to know that if it weren’t for you and your wise advice on investments, I would never have set “stops” in my portfolio. It’s hard to believe, but I am doing fine in the market, and even making money, which I’m sure few investors can say these days. Without your coaching, I would be like many people whose 401Ks are now 101Ks. Thanks so much for all your investment coaching. You are one in a million. Betsy Jentz

Dear Adam: I have been working with Matt for a couple of months and have thoroughly enjoyed our time together. I have been somewhat successful in that I am ahead about a thousand dollars. using the system, I have kept any losses under $199, which was the limit we decided was good for my situation. I want to thank you for the conference calls and the group sessions. They really are helpful. Although I have done some buying of stocks in the past and have a degree in finance, I have made the usual beginners mistakes. It is comforting to hear others asking the same questions I would ask. I look forward to a long term association with you and Matt. I am also interested in becoming a contributor in the forum. Talk to you next week on the group session. Eugene Pilcher

I’ve had the pleasure of talking with Todd Horwitz for about the past 5 weeks and thought I should let you know my impressions so far. I believe I have learned more useful information since joining you program than I did in the past 5 years. Todd is an exceptionally good teacher and coach. Whether discussing trading concepts or expectations for a particular stock, Todd’s comments always show me alternatives that I had not fully considered or had even overlooked. His comments open my eyes wider each week to the potential that exists to make trading more enjoyable and more profitable. I’m extremely pleased that I found you, Todd and the great group at adammesh.com. Thanks very much and I am looking forward to many successful trades based on the rules and concepts I am learning.

Hi Christian –
Chris and I can’t begin to tell you how much we appreciate your time tonight with our first session. It makes complete sense to us as to how this thing works generally speaking of course. I always knew that there was a system like this out there that would capitalize on the dips and jumps inherent to all stocks. It blows my mind to see it presented to me/us like you just did; thank you very much. We can’t wait to become well versed in this concept so we can take control of our own financial future in the market. The way you explained things to us was understandable, hopefully our learning curve will be steady enough to put it to use in the near future. However, please be tolerant of us if we have an occasional brain freeze in the process along the way. J We can’t wait for next Tuesday @ 6:00 PM EST!!
Thanks for taking a look at a couple of our current positions and offering your insight. We are very happy to know you, Christian!

Adam, As a relatively new student of your trading methods, I just wanted to let you know how helpful (encouraging) it is to read testimonials on the forum that demonstrate persistance. I am referring specifically to some that describe being stopped out of a stock once, twice, or more. In each case the trader did not abandon the stock (as many of us, myself included) would be inclined to do, but instead “stayed with it” by continuing to try to buy it at a good level. The fact that a stock drops below a key level and stops us out does not diminish the importance of that level, but our disappointment that it did can cause us to look elsewhere and miss a great trade. Because this is such a natural reaction, I have to believe that overcoming it is one of the keys to success. Thanks so much for helping other “Average Joes” out here to achieve success!

Dear Adam,
I just want you to know that I am so impressed with Todd H. as my stock coach
A whole new world has opened up for me with all the little technical "flags, pennants, cup and handles and the rectangles and triangles, trend lines. I used to look at charts and the only thing I saw was long consolidations and the Head and Shoulders were always fuzzy for me to understand.
This has been an exceptionally crazy time of year for me, but he has motivated me to still take time to MAKE MONEY! He is so smart, yet very patient with his 'Patient - with-a-CroMagnon- Brain Student. My cancer has not resurfaced, yet I get so tired with all I do. But, this is worth it!
Thank you so much and many, many thanks to Todd.

Adam,
I am sorry to report that I just had my last coaching session with Todd. The reason is, that was my 9th session and it is time for me to solo. I plan to take advantage of the weekly coaching calls from Todd and you to keep me in level flight.
I did extensive research on the internet looking for complaints and scams about your company. The best site that I found (will try to find the link and send to you) is a lady that tests at home business schemes and scams. She actually purchased your coaching program and became a real believer and remains with your coaching program. Your program is the ‘Real Deal’ among the training programs found on the internet. I am impressed with everyone that I came in contact with during the process and especially impressed with Todd, my coach. I believe that your program fulfills what you offer and provides me with training that I can use daily for the rest of my life!
My wife and I entered this training with some anxiety due to the cost of tuition. I am glad to tell you that nine weeks later we are realizing weekly profits and have a good confidence level to continue trading. Todd has provided quality training and has supported and encouraged us throughout the process. The weekly calls from you and ‘Bubba’ are very helpful and keep us in tune with the day to day market action. The calls provide us with very good advice to put to work the following days. The personal relationship that I have developed with Todd will be long standing and will be looking forward to the next call.
As of today, and several bad buy decisions by me, we have realized a net profit of over $4,000! You claim that you will continue to coach us to a level of gains to cover the tuition. I know that if we continue trading as Todd has taught us we will be above and beyond that level in the very near future!
Adam, you have a great program and a great team! I wish you, Todd and all the team great success and continued profits!
Most respectfully,

Just wanted to drop a line and let you know my success of todays down market.......I shorted cost yesterday at near $50 with the inverse of the rule of 5......at open I jumped out today around $48.7....got short again around $48.3 but stopped out twice.....got back in, and also FAZ was at 4.9 which doesn't fall into the rule of five but I trade it frequently and liked its level so I bought it long with a tight stop just below the low of the day and decided to enjoy me day and left the computer.....two hours later I was up $1600 and cashed out with a smile.

"Made $2,000 on Apple and looking to do it again. Made $2,620 on Flowserve (FLS).. and bought back in $2.00 lower to ride it back again. The buy of the day was a small uranium exploration play that I have been in and out many times in the past couple years. Hathor (HAT) has a discovery in Saskatchewan next to Cameco's Cigar Lake project. one of the biggest in the world. I bought at 1.81 early this morning. it ran up to 2.26. now fallen back to 2.14 range which is still a 20% lift. I put a sell order in at 2.21 for the day, so will see if we are lucky or not. If it falls back to the $2.00 range I will buy more. Matters not to have it overnight as I believe this one will be a $3.00 stock shortly. I know this company and this stock is only half of what it used to be. and they actually have a real good property find. So there will be more 10-20% days with this one. Hope it is working today for you too.

I like his style of coaching. I have to cope with a couple of body parts that are not being very cooperative and need to be taken care of. I will be going in for a hip replacement soon and that will relieve a lot of my pain and I will be more apt to participate in your program.
I like your program very much and can’t wait to get into it full bore

Hi Adam and Christian,
I was just talking to my "Relationship Manager" through E*TRADE and he asked me if I knew how well I did last year. I knew how much I'd made in dollars but I didn't know percentages so he showed me how to find them on the E*TRADE site.
For 2009 the S & P 500 made 23.45%, my IRAs (which are in Mutual Funds and being "professionally" managed) made 30.04%, and I, in my first year of day trading, made 217.89%. (WOW!)
Since you two were my trainer and coach, you deserve most of the credit so Thank You!

Made $2,000 on Apple and looking to do it again. Made $2,620 on Flowserve (FLS).. and bought back in $2.00 lower to ride it back again. The buy of the day was a small uranium exploration play that I have been in and out many times in the past couple years. Hathor (HAT) has a discovery in Saskatchewan next to Cameco’s Cigar Lake project. one of the biggest in the world. I bought at 1.81 early this morning. it ran up to 2.26. now fallen back to 2.14 range which is still a 20% lift. I put a sell order in at 2.21 for the day, so will see if we are lucky or not. If it falls back to the $2.00 range I will buy more. Matters not to have it overnight as I believe this one will be a $3.00 stock shortly. I know this company and this stock is only half of what it used to be. and they actually have a real good property find. So there will be more 10-20% days with this one. Hope it is working today for you too. Sherwin

Dear Darryl,
I hooked up with a stock last week. one you may want to look at? It is "ME" Mariner Energy". News came out that Bull & Lifshitz was looking at a purchase? I bought at $14.53 and put in a "Follower" for both my stop and limit, to give it some room to move. I followed it all the way up to: $25.68! You showed me how to make this happen! Thank You, very much! I am having lots of fun with what you (and Adam) have done for me!
My time for another question, the market "Sucks" while most of my R of 5 stocks continue to do: what they were picked to do? No complaints, just wondering if I should be concerned about the economy, or just play the market the way you taught me?
And yes, I am doing my "Homework"! My account (with Fidelity) started at $5,000.00 and has grown to over: $22,528...... WOW! Six weeks into this? At this rate, we'll have our house in Costa Rica (debt free) by the end of this year! All we need now is someone to help us get our money (401K's) out of this country. I am working on this, as well ! I'll keep you informed.
Best Regards and Thank You Once Again!

Dear Gavino,
Just a mail to let you know that I am very satisfied with my classes with Todd Horwitz. He is very helpful and his deep knowledge of the market is helping me as I never thought I could have ever been guided.
Please, let Adam know that he has a very wise and competitive man in his crew and that I will be very happy to write a testimonial about my experience (thanks God not yet finished) with my course.
Thanks again for your help.
Regards. / Enrique Sempere.

I began trading with Adam in January one year ago. I had been trading stocks on my own for some time with varying degrees of success. Most of that success had evaporated when I got caught in the market downturn and had held on, with some positions going all the way to zero. (Certainly not a good way to make money in stocks.)
I finally decided that not only could a mentorship improve my trading skills but in the long run would more than pay for itself. I was impressed with Adam's emphasis on discipline, and this aspect of trading is what I still have the most struggle with, though I am getting better at it.
My initial goal was to supplement my income by $500-$1000 per month while increasing my IRA growth by twice that amount (IRA is largely in mutual funds). Over the last 2-3 months, I have actually been getting returns that are twice that amount, this during a time that has been very volatile. In addition, I cannot begin to estimate the dollars saved by getting out of bad trades early, rather than holding on hoping that the market will turn around in my favor.
So what is it that Adam teaches that works.
#1 -- Discipline, discipline, discipline. This has been the hardest concept for me to grasp although it is probably the simplest. New traders do not have to unlearn the bad habits that I taught myself.
#2 -- How to identify stocks that have the potential for rapidly accelerating based on increasing volume and support and resistance lines.
#3 -- When to buy a stock, and when to get out with either a profit (so you don't give back your gains) or a stop-loss so you do not stay in a bad trade.
#4 -- Being satisfied with singles if that is all the market gives. All of us like home runs, but just like in baseball, the one who swings for the fences most often is the one who frequently strikes out. The major difference in results over the last couple of months has been a willingness to take $500, $300, sometimes even $200 on a trade; sometimes even less.
Closed a couple of trades today that I had just opened two or three days ago because the market capitualated. Some had tiny profits, other losses of a couple of hundred dollars, but again the important thing was to keep losses to a minimum and look for buying opportunities to reestablish themselves.
Now if I could just maintain that type of discipline with all my trades, I could quit my job.

“Adam: Just to set the record straight, here’s what I’ve done so far since I’ve been with you: EMC – Bought 200 sh at about 15.90. Stopped out at 17.20 (+$260) FDO – Bought 100 sh at 21.75. Stopped out at 20.90 (-$85) AKNS – Shorted 100 sh at 7.50. Covered at 6.20 (+$130) DAL – Bought 100 sh at 5.90. Stopped out at 5.75 (-$15) PRAA – Bought 200 sh at 39.50. Stopped out at 41 (+300) CRDN – Bought 200 sh at 40.50. Stopped out at 41.98 (+$296) STX – Bought 100 sh at 20.10. Stop at 21.75 (Still have @ 22.27) (+$217) Total Up = +$1,103 I had moved up my stops on the two $40 stocks and got stopped out today. I’ve still got STX – it was actually UP today! The key point here is that I’m trading – not sitting on the sidelines like I’ve been doing for years! Thanks Jim"

Adam, I just have to laugh. I started doing my taxes tonight & I’m going over my Scottrade statement showing all the trades from 2008 to date. I just noticed that I have as many winning trades already this year as I did in all of 2008. How pathetic was I? Thanks for all you’ve done so far. Brent O. Smith

Adam,
My name is Jared Henson and I have been enrolled in your coaching class since around February and I have had great success. My stock coach Todd Horwitz has been a great instructor. He has help rebuild my confidence in investing into the stock market after a bad experience a few months before. I am full time firefighter and have a very awkward schedule, and Todd has been completely awesome with working with me. He is always quick to respond to emails with all the questions I may have between sessions. My experience so far has been great. I just wanted to say thanks to you and your whole staff for all the help!
Thanks,
Jared Henson

“Dear Adam, Many thanks for all your efforts in educating me on stock matters. I really appreciate your good works. I wish to sincerely thank you and wish you a Happy New Year filled with great success. Warmest regards, Elvis Jumbo”

“Dear Adam, I began trading about three months prior to enrolling in your coaching program. In that time I had some winning trades but mostly a lot of losers that I let ride. Now, after about a month of coaching, I’ve negated all of the losses I’ve ever had in the market and am fully profitable (and you better believe I’m going to protect that money now.) I’ve also been explaining some of the things to my dad–who has payed for quite a few college educations through the market–and after talking about things like “The Rule of 5,” you could just see a lightbulb go off in his head. Your advice can benefit newbies like me but apparently can also help seasoned investors. For all those potential nay-sayers out there, yes, some amount of trading is luck, but as the old adage goes: “Luck is where preparation meets opportunity.” Adam’s training provides the preparation to recognize the opportunities and capitalize off of them. Thank you so much! Zach“

Hey Adam,
Just wanted to tell you that my sessions with Todd over the last 8 to 10 weeks have been incredible. Once I learned about the levels and the money management it didn't take me 5 minutes to figure out that i could lose 80% of my trades and still break even or make a little money giving 2 of my stocks run up 5 points. Todd my instructor is AWESOME. What i mean by that is when I was a proffessional baseball player I trained alot of guys in the exact same style that you guys teach trading stocks.I still watch some of those guys play today that have made millions of dollars.My goal is to make more money than i did from scratch as i did as a professional baseball player. Important- The only way to accomplish this goal is to not think about the money, but think about the art of trading.When you master that you'll make all the money you ever can dream about.That's how i did it the first time around.The only way to get to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is to hire a professional teacher.There is simply no way to get around that fact.I'm so grateful to have you guys teaching me because now I know I'm going to become one of the sharks in the ocean just like i was when i was playing professionnal baseball.
MANY THANKS!

I had my first session this morning with Darryl and as far as I am concerned it went very well. I learned a lot and Darryl didn’t try to overwhelm with a lot techy stuff. I have been an accountant for 40 years and as a result I have become a real cynic, which is a good thing, you expect the worst and hope for the best. So far so good. Bruce

Adam, Just wanted to drop a line and let you know my success of todays down market..........I shorted cost yesterday at near $50 with the inverse of the rule of 5......at open I jumped out today around $48.7....got short again around $48.3 but stopped out twice.....got back in, and also FAZ was at 4.9 which doesn't fall into the rule of five but I trade it frequently and liked its level so I bought it long with a tight stop just below the low of the day and decided to enjoy me day and left the computer.....two hours later I was up $1600 and cashed out with a smile. Thanks for your program and Todd and Christians help!!! Sincerely, Scott Smith

Adam,
Just writing to let you know that I've really dug in and taken your trading method(s) to heart and am really starting to see the potential. I've combined your method with my favorite strategy, which is trading stocks that the company insiders buy and it's just clicking! I guess the reason I like buying those types of stocks is I feel it gives me a psychological edge that if a CEO or CFO is willing to put in a large amount of money into their own stock, it somehow lowers my risk and using discipline with your method and trading them with the rule of 5, it gives me a double edge.
Anyhow, your method has basically given me the "aha" experience and I KNOW it'll take my trading to the level I want to be at!
Thanks,

Great call today. They just keep getting better. You mentioned a possible “5000 Dow”. It would seem that the rate of decent is proportional to the degree of government involvement and we will reach a final bottom when they decide to mettle in other affairs and leave the markets to the capitalists. That “UA” tip was a goldie! You made me over $500.00 in less than twenty minutes. May the gods bless your Rice Krispies. Bless you, my son. Dick Whitfield

Adam, Just wanted to say thanks again. I appreciate your time and guidance in the markets. When the market closes Friday I eagerly start thinking about Monday's opening. It's painful to have to wait two days. Also, out of Ebay prior to earning at + 2.3. Thanks, Dana
