My name is Paeter, (pronounced: Pay' ter). I live aboard a 36 foot sailboat named "Elsa" which I designed and built 33 years ago. [Photos: www.sailorelsa.com/elsaboat]
I have been a student of coach Christian for the past 7 weeks. After learning how to spot levels, the patterns of stocks and following Christian's daily "Today's BIG stocks" site, I finally decided to push the buy button on ESI. (Educational Services Inc).
Christian said that it had broken thru its $20 dollar level and was prime to take off.
So I purchase 150 shares a few days late @ $21.00 with a stop at $20.40, the previous day's low. Or so I thought. (I had miss-typed in a $20.50 stop.) When ESI began dropping down to the $20.40's, I got nervous and tried to lower my stop. That's when I discovered my stop was ordered at $20.50, and had already sold my shares at an $82.00 loss.
After kicking myself for such a stupid blunder, I re-purchased 100 shares at the new price of $21.15. I cut down my position by 50 shares because I felt stung from my first error. I also ordered an appropriate stop of $20.40.
Then it happened. The stock kept increasing in price with a noticeably higher volume. It was like NASA had fired off a shuttle rocket! I was glued to the computer until the final last minute's peak at the close. ESI had risen a full 4 points!!
Next I wondered if I should sell it at the open, or tighten up my stop to protect some of the $380.00 profit now that the stock was at its next level of $25. I raised my stop to a too tight a level of 2% -$24.60. The next morning ESI opened up at $24.14, and I was stopped out. Christian informed me that even if I had set the stop at 4% lower, I still would have been stopped out. Often when a stock screams up all day, the next opening drops substantially down to "regroup". [Seamen speak for a correction.] It's analogous to what happens when a huge wave crashes on the beach. It's quickly followed by a strong rip tide back out to sea.
My first trade started with a blunder and ended with a Christmas present of $309.00. Within a short 6 hours I learned to double check my prices before creating an order, to not use round numbers like .40 or .50 for stops and to give a rocket rise stock some slack when attempting to protect profits.
Many Thankx to coach Christian & Adam Mesh's technique for the Average Joe. Trading stocks is almost as exciting as a windy day of sailing!

From time-to-time we meet people in our lives that sincerely make a difference to us. I must say that you, your organization and specifically, "Darryl Martin" have all changed my life for the better. I simply want to say thank you to everyone in your organization.
The methodology for your course, the personal coaching of an individual based on student experience, personality and goals are really right-on. I knew after my first two coaching sessions with Darryl that we were going to hit-it-off and this was going to be a great learning experience for me. I asked Darryl on one of my beginning sessions to be patient with me as I will eventually learn what he conveys. We both had a good laugh when I mentioned to him "even a brick absorbs water if you pour water on it long enough". Darryl is really a great coach!
I speak often with friends, family and business associates about my education with the Adam Mesh organization. My only regret is that I didn't hear about your organization sooner in my life; it would have saved and made me untold amounts of money. I am constantly referring folks to the Adam Mesh website.
I could write many paragraphs on what I learned while attending the Adam Mesh Trading Group online sessions and with Darryl Martin. Darryl's communications skills helped make this course a success for me! His attention to detail and follow-up with me really contributed to the way I learn. Also, I will forever be grateful to Darryl for introducing me to Steve Nison and Candlesticks. What I have learned about trading stocks over the last few months is terrific! Let me simply say that the price of the training is well worth it for anyone that is serious about trading stocks and making money.
Please feel free to send a copy of this email to anyone that is interested in changing their life. Here's to making money!

To Adam Mesh’s Coaching Team,
As an educator and trainer myself I’m writing to give credit where credit is due. The AMTG coaching program is outstanding in its design, execution, and long-lasting benefits. I learned trading strategies, “Adam’s rules,” and mindsets that actually work. My coach, Darryl Martin, is a brilliant human being (of the physics-educated kind), with a kind, genuinely compassionate heart, and a guru of a master trader. His mentoring not only increased my financial well-being, but, unexpectedly and delightfully, my social network as well.
I initially approached AMTG with skepticism due to years of wasted time and money on other stock educational (dis)services. I first learned about Adam and his offerings randomly. When reading about stocks online, I came across random articles whose authors mentioned they graduated from AMTG’s coaching program or that it out-classed anything else out there. Such statements appeared unsolicited. I next checked reviews, complaints, and the BBB & all was good. The pivot point, however, was AMTG’s customer service. When I called, the phone was answered by an actual staff member. When I emailed, there was a quick reply. Then on a call with Stephanie and Josh, they explained that the coaching program was responsible for my success and there were tangible guidelines to measure my progress. I was a bit taken aback by AMTG’s commitment, accountability, and professionalism, at least verbally. Though ideally such qualities should be an educational norm, they aren’t. This educator took note and signed on in June, 2012.
Next, I encountered Adam’s generous, multi-media and nearly overwhelming array of resources: real-time and archived webinars with Adam, Darryl, and others; The Mesh Nation newsletter; the Forums; books and handbooks; DVDs; specialized services; and commission-free trades. As a coaching student, if I took advantage of ALL the learning opportunities Adam provides, I could have spent 60 hours plus per week on the program, which I didn’t due to other commitments. Add in the rich mix of one-on-one and small group sessions, it seems impossible NOT to gain years of knowledge and skill in a few months’ time. Kudos!
And then, there’s the coaching. How do I describe being coached by Darryl Martin? Well, imagine climbing into a spaceship and blasting off! And, it is a blast because Darryl is so gut-busting funny! We roared around the universe of stocks and trading at the speed of light. Some content at first appeared overwhelming if not downright scary, but Darryl zooms in up close and through one hilarious story, example, or application after the next, (the best ways for most anyone to learn) I’d get this and that sorted out and we’d be off onto my next challenge. What a pilot!
Darryl has such broad and deep conceptual knowledge of the stock market (and countless things in addition) and highly tuned skills in selecting, buying and shorting stocks (and countless things in addition), that he does what most teachers can’t. He personalizes and paces the content of each session and its follow-up documents for each student so that we all thrive. I/We (I know I speak for other students) may have taken different routes but we all have acquired the same new skills of making money trading stocks. And, it’s a blast!
As a student, Darryl is there for each of us. Though he owns his own business and has an incredible wife he adores, this is a man who is also accessible 24/7. Whenever I called Darryl outside our coaching sessions, he sounded genuinely pleased by the interruption and jumped right into the heart of my question or concern. He has our back and when learning to trade with our own money, that matters! Darryl’s generosity of spirit is a humbling gift to receive.
My coaching sessions ended in December, 2012. Because Adam had the vision to create a truly worthwhile program, and because he hires outstanding coaches, here are some real world, value-added benefits I received that far surpassed the fees I paid:
1) new, lifelong trading skills that increase my monthly income and our quality of life;
2) new strategies to protect the assets my husband and I have worked hard to accumulate; and
3) the knowledge to profitably manage and grow our family’s portfolios instead of entrusting our assets to strangers.There are also intangible benefits. Darryl has the unique ability to see the best in everyone. He also connects with each of us individually,and somehow cross-connects his students with each other.Then, the next thing you know, a group of about 30 strangers, each of whom happens to be a student of Darryl’s or other Adam Mesh coaches, are all paying their own way to Las Vegas for three days each, just so our community could physically be together as friends.
I had no idea befriending fellow traders across the country and beyond was a part of the program, but I like it!
Darryl, I’ve got your number. In fact, all of them. As you know, I’ll be calling and seeing you soon.
Hugs to you all dear friends!
Linda
Adam and team,
I wanted to thank you very much for meeting with me at the office during my visit to NYC. It was the highlight of the trip, no Broadway show, no US Open match or no New York style steak matched the experience of personally meeting Adam and the AMesh team. I have been sold onto the philosophy of the program a long time ago but adding the human element that supports the program behind the computer screen shows me that this team is committed and is very passionate about helping a younger rookie trader wanna be like me to be successful.
Adam you answered every question and met every expectation and more that I had. It was exciting to be able to dissect my trading history, polish a plan for the future in the same relax but very useful way that you have on the calls, in other words, it was freaking awesome!!!. Ethan, Gavino, Josh, Stephanie and everyone else in the office have a great energy that is contagious. I am going back home very pumped and ready to put those emotions aside, be very discipline and hopefully be one of your poster boy success stories.
PS: I will talk to Red in the next coming days but not before having a little fun with him.
Once again Thank you very much for all the help, the memorable experience, and the goodies.
Keep up the great work.
Best
Just a note to let you know that your system rocks! Made a few transactions this week with a 21% gain, 9% gain, 11% gain and a nice 211% gain on the above referenced. All put plays in this surging bull market, by the way!
Adam, A quick note of thanks because I’m approaching my 1 month anniversary with the coaching program this weekend. Christian is my coach, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything is going. I appreciate the Jesse Livermore book that you had Gina send me. I enjoyed reading it and was sad to find out how his life ended. You and he are alike in at least one way though, neither of you hesitate to share with others your experiences (whether good or bad) about investing. You are doing great things for many people, including me. Thanks and best wishes
Adam, You and Todd have been a game changer for me. This has been the most empowering collection of learning events of my life. The charts show me what to do and although I missed getting my trades in, like Monday I didn’t get in my short in FSLR, it was a winner just the same. I’ve been getting better and better each month since I started last summer. I’ve made 8K so far this month and I know I could really do even better with more time. Thanks to you Adam and Todd for giving me a huge jump on becoming financially independent.
I have been in your program since April of this year and started buying at the May peak! It has been a roller-coaster year to start trading but it has been one of the most motivating of my life!
I feel like I know something that hardly anyone does and it feels great to be in control of my own destiny. I have even taken my pension out of the Company’s hands to look after it myself.
Thanks again to you and the team
(Christian T. has been fantastic!).
I want you guys to know that Todd is an excellent coach. I see things much clearer. He puts things in simple terms so you can understand it.
When I joined your Stock Club, I was coming off of two years of learning with another educational group. There, I learned a lot in theory, but not in functionality. After listening to one of your promotional conference calls, I realized that you were offering what was lacking in my curriculum: an easy-to-learn, logical-yet-simple system of trading, a system that made sense. After joining your Club and getting my one-on-one training with one of your amazing coaches, I immediately noticed an increase in the success rate of my trades. I was finally ENJOYING being a trader. After the one-on-one ended, I was further rewarded by the use of your message boards and forums. There I am able to participate in a constant interaction with not only other Adam Mesh students, but your coaches!!!… they are ALWAYS there, posting responses and solutions to our seemingly daunting trading dilemmas. Their dedication and around-the-clock availability is what keeps me coming back for more! The education derived from these forums is continuous and invaluable. Your entire staff is commendable.
I’d also like to comment on the benefit of another aspect of your club, namely, Coach Christian’s Monday afternoon conference calls. Christian is a true master, and his online conferences are more than just an audio account of the movements of the stock market; they are actually an interactive visual lesson where we are able to see the charts and realtime drawings that Christian makes as he analyzes, in depth, the market conditions. The ability to participate by chatting in realtime questions and/or answers is what makes the whole process so worthwhile. And let’s not forget the education we are getting! To me, the absolute best complement to being a member of the AM Stock Club and learning the secrets behind your trading technique is the interactive chart school lessons and realtime technical analysis that Christian offers to us and which he does so well, through his 5 Star Conference Calls.
So I thank you, Adam, and your dedicated, professional staff, for making this the best trading experience I have ever had, and for finally giving me the means to grow a profitable portfolio.
I am having fun with this… thanks to Adam taking a question last week from me about Endocyte, I stopped out this morning and took $2500 in profit. So awesome. My coach is Christian and that is going well too.
I just completed my last contracted phone call and training session with Ethan. What a pleasure it has been to talk and learn from such a knowledgeable and patient individual. You should feel very honored to have him on your team. He is certainly in the right career field. I was a 100% beginner and he brought me along week by week so that it would not be so overwhelming. I know it takes me ninety minutes to watch sixty minutes, but he did an outstanding job. He even understood the ‘southern’ language.
I must, also, compliment Joshua. Without his enthusiasm and perseverance, I might not have overcome my reservations in joining. Thank goodness for Joshua.
Adam, I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed the learning process. You have a tremendous organization. On a scale of one to ten, you are a twelve. You are the ‘real deal’!
I look forward to my future learning with the Adam Mesh Trading Group. Keep up the good work and helping others.
I thought you might like to know how much I have appreciated my coaching experience.
It has been a pleasure learning and working under the tutoring and coaching of Todd Horwitz.His knowledge and experience already precede him, but his patience and accessibility have made my journey even more enjoyable.
I am relieved to know that Todd will still be accessible and I will be one of your regulars…”
Thank you for your services and the dedication you bring to your work!!
Got in GLD this AM…couldn’t put any stops in….Prime Vest doesn’t do that. I was in and out of the office …..felt NAKED with no stops …..so when I got back to the office i just got out of the trade because I wasn’t going to be able to watch…busy with other stuff.
Bought 10 contracts GLD 138 calls and sold out…….made $628.04 NET NET on my first trade with you. Maybe should have stayed in but I didn’t want to get greedy and I just could watch the market and had no stops in. THANKS BUDDY
I’d like to think I’m trading this market with my own finesse. But that would be a ridiculous state of denial.
Without your guidance, mainly in keeping in step with the rhythms of the market, I seriously doubt I’d be doing well at all.
SO MUCH learning has taken place over the past 2-3 months. I haven’t missed a call and I look forward to them every week.
Thank you for choosing to share your wisdom with others. It has made a meaningful difference to myself and my children and my family as a whole. Maybe, just maybe, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel for us after all.
I just finished my 8th session with Darryl Martin. I wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed Darryl’s coaching. I know I have a ways to go in my education but I have “ground floor” confidence going forward with trading, thanks to Darryl. I very much could relate to Darryl in his discipline, outlook on life and energy to help me as a student. Every session I gained new knowledge and confirmed to me that I chose the right program.
I have to say I was a bit skeptical getting into your trading program in the beginning due to the cost and knowing there are many scams to contend with. I am now an advocate and promoter of your program and do plan on recovering the cost of the program through my future trading and then some.
Thanks again for putting together an honest program for the “Average Dude”, like me.
Hi Adam,
I am impressed that you emailed me back…. It is the mark of a man that is committed to what he is preaching and/or wanting to know what the crazy doctor is going to say next, and/or sheer boredom from counting all your money…. Whatever the reason, it is the reason you have the best teaching service available… Don't worry about change…. It has to happen for any business to grow….Like I said before, if you are the best people will pay for your service.. Just charge more, Dude… Besides, I don't give a green crap, I paid up front…
I guess the long and short of it Adam, is that you can change things little by little, and continue to get better… With all the obstacles I described above, I am now 49 years old and thinking of not going back to my daytime job after this year is over… Do I have enough saved up to live to be 90? I don't really know… Maybe I will only make it to 70, or 60, or 51… The reason I can even consider the retirement thing is because of your program…. Why didn't anyone ever pull me aside 30 years ago and said, "Hey, dumbass, instead of spending a fortune on an education, and then being at the mercy of something that is not under your control, why don't you try trading stocks for a living?" Your program is the only reason I can even consider what I have told you. The greatest thing is that this is something that is completely under my control….In the words of my coach…the market is never wrong, it is never tired, it never takes a day off, it is your nemesis, and it will always try to inflict as much pain upon you as it can…. But at least the amount of the market's pain is something I have some control over, thanks to your program.
I wish you well this weekend, Adam. And my hats off to you, coach Todd, and your entire program.
Dear Adam,
We talked about this some time ago. I starter my Fidelity Active Trader Account with $5,000,00 dollars. With your's (and my coaches help) I would not have made the progress that I was taught! 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 Sense", it can work for: everyone!
Thank You Adam
ADAM, you made me 7K today with your recommendation of HNZ.
So...I really wanted to say thanks for everything. I have become a better investor because of you in so many ways.
Just wanted to thank you and all your staff for the very professional training in stocks. Jerry and I have been using your course as trained by Darryl Martin. Darryl is one fine trainer, and put together a wonderful "Seminar" in Las Vegas to which we met you, Todd, Mike Hammer and of course our Host and Hostess Darryl and Penni.
Throughout the time we ventured into this trading, we've learned a lot, traded a lot, and am always busy listening to your calls, Todd's emails, and now Ethan's group. It is from time to time a little frustrating, but that's the life of a trader I guess. When we have a problem, we can count on someone in your group, or Darryl to get us an answer. I've recorded all the lessons, and admit I have to do a lot of reviewing from time to time. I have a Mac and the other day I wanted to get a new rundown on qualifying stocks for a new watch list. One problem - Yahoo evidently has upgraded their system using Java, and I got exactly nowhere. But I'll work that out with Yahoo next week. All the calls I've made to Stephanie, JJ or whomever answers the call, have been great help in every case. You are to be commended for having such a reliable and understanding staff. My only problem is, living in Arizona, I do have problems with time change, which gives me fits from time to time. I'm one of those that when you want help, you want it now, and sometimes "now" is after hours and so it goes!
Anyway, just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all you're doing to enhance your company, as evidenced by the newly designed web site, the new Smart Money Tracker course and I'm sure you're working on new things that will be coming along the way. Ethan's approach is quite different and very enlightening in the world of stock. I'm 84, so my biggest problem is the mind just isn't as "remembering" as it did 40 years ago! But that's to be expected, and I'll work thru it eventually!!!!!
Do hope you attend our next get together with Darryl in Las Vegas, as you indicated you would while there. Also enjoy your weekly call - all help along the way is greatly appreciated. And I'm sure all your "students" thank you as well.
Sincerely,
Fleur Brown
“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“
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 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.

Just got to listen to the Monday night call. Have to tell you that I can't listen to one of your calls without learning something. You are a good teacher. Your dialogue on the parallels of the current market to the top in 2007 is compelling. Appreciate you sharing it.
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
I joined the Adam Mesh program in May, 2011. Prior to that, I had been involved in the stock market for about six years as both a trader and an investor. My start in the market was probably typical of most. At first it is very overwhelming. There are so many stocks and funds available. What to buy, and when? You have to start somewhere so you make the effort to learn as much as you can. So, I read quite a few books on investing, visited stock internet sites, watched all of the various stock shows on TV and I jumped into the investing world. Over that six year period, I had both winning and losing years. I never lost a lot of money, but did not make very much either. There were always enough losses in a year to pretty well wipe out the profits from the winners.
By early 2011, I became frustrated and disillusioned and was ready to give up on investing. What I was doing just was not working very well. It just did not seem to be worth the trouble so why bother? Then last May, I came across an advertisement for the Adam Mesh program. I listened in on a free webinar given by Adam, read some of the literature he provided and after some careful thought, I enrolled in the program. The primary reason I joined Adam's program was for the personal coaching that is provided. The coaches in the program are proven, successful traders who provide live, one on one coaching with all new students in the program. I already knew that something needed to change with my investing and a personal coach was exactly what I was looking for.
But I ended up getting more from the Adam Mesh program than just a personal coach. Adam teaches a straightforward, practical approach to trading. His program teaches not only how to find the right stocks, but also when to buy, when to sell and most important of all, the proper risk management to keep losses small when you are wrong.
I'd like to say I started making money immediately but that did not happen. It took a few months for me to unlearn six years of bad investing habits. Seems I did everything wrong those first few months, but that all changed once I reached the "I think I get it" moment. From that point on, I consistently made money. No one is ever right 100% of the time but risk management kept the losses small. By putting into practice what I learned from Adam and my coach, 2011 was by far the most profitable year for me since I started investing.
I have learned more about how to become a successful trader from the Adam Mesh program than I thought possible and highly recommend his program. It is worth every penny.
Vince Cichocki
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!

Todd,
Just wanted to drop you a quick note. I really gets so much more out of these sessions when I listen to the recordings a second and third time. What I observed, after reviewing today’s session, is a very knowledgeable and articulate instructor working with a student who’s thinking process and absorption rate of new information is not quite as fast as it used to be. At one time I was in a similar position as a flight instructor. I worked with new students as well as advanced students on different aspects of piloting airplanes. Some of the students grasped the concepts and principles quicker than others. Some of the students, though they were a little slow in the beginning, eventually wound up being some of the best pilots that I trained.
I am enjoying the program very much, and am looking forward to some positive results. I admirer your positive attitude and great teaching methods!
Best regards,
“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“
Adam,
I just completed my last contracted phone call and training session with Ethan. What a pleasure it has been to talk and learn from such a knowledgeable and patient individual. You should feel very honored to have him on your team. He is certainly in the right career field. I was a 100% beginner and he brought me along week by week so that it would not be so overwhelming. I know it takes me ninety minutes to watch sixty minutes, but he did an outstanding job. He even understood the 'southern' language.
I must, also, compliment Joshua. Without his enthusiasm and perseverance, I might not have overcome my reservations in joining. Thank goodness for Joshua.
Adam, I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed the learning process. You have a tremendous organization. On a scale of one to ten, you are a twelve. You are the 'real deal'!
I look forward to my future learning with the Adam Mesh Trading Group. Keep up the good work and helping others.
Thank-you,

This is Barbara writing to let you know that this week I have completed my one-on-one coaching sessions with Christian, who is a truly wonderful coach. He held true to your principles and made the learning process easy.
I have learned so much with the Adam Mesh Stock Club. You have the best coaches, and your message forums are a wonderful place to “hang out.” There, our questions are answered by coaches and fellow students. We post our stock picks and scrutinize each other’s trades and thought processes. We are able to freely express our questions and doubts, and there’s always someone willing to explain and get us through a seemingly difficult decision. So even though I’ve completed my personal coaching sessions, the education continues through your wonderful forums and your weekly conference calls.
My trading has improved drastically, and that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? My entries and exits are much more successful and well thought out. I have learned to pick and choose my stock plays with rhyme and reason and justification.
In short, I just love your program. There’s nothing more exciting than being able to study some charts, pick a stock that is ready for entry, create a pre-determined exit plan, and then pull the trigger. Your group has given me the confidence and knowledge to do that.
So thanks again for sharing your wisdom. It has made a difference in my life.
Best regards,
Barbara

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
Got in GLD this AM...couldn't put any stops in....Prime Vest doesn't do that. I was in and out of the office .....felt NAKED with no stops .....so when I got back to the office i just got out of the trade because I wasn't going to be able to watch...busy with other stuff.
Bought 10 contracts GLD 138 calls and sold out.......made $628.04 NET NET on my first trade with you. Maybe should have stayed in but I didn't want to get greedy and I just could watch the market and had no stops in.
THANKS BUDDY

Hi Jonathan,
I had my first session today with Todd and i have very good feeling and confidence. I really like the session. Todd has really boosted my confidence level to move forward. I am glad to have Todd as my coach.
Thank you very much Todd to be so supportive and providing me some wonderful tips. Thanks again.

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 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"
"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.

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

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.
Sincerely, Ruth Ann McCardle
Christian,
I just thought I would update you on my progress. Since March 1, including open and closed positions, as of right now I have 18 winning trades and 6 losing trades. I am up $850 on closed trades and I am up $600. In trades that are still open.
Thank you.

“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!!“
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!!!
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
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. Regards, Pete Palmer
"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, may I also tell you I really did appreciate you including me in this. You sound like you really know your stuff and you really want to help people learn. Its nice to put a voice to the picture.
Thanks,

“Based on what I’ve learned from you plus reading I felt led to sell Bank of America last week for $32, an $11 profit. I more than made back the price of your course. Thanks! Jim Rush“
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
“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“
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 Bubba (Coach Todd);
Since joining the Adam Mesh's Stock Club in May 2012, I've learned more about finance, the markets, and investing and trading, than in all my 40+ years as a Certified Public Accountant and ultimately the Chief Financial Officer of one of the largest Mechanical Contractors in the U.S.
Your years of experience show through with your daily emails, appearances on National TV, and you candid observations in our one-on-one coaching sessions (which I always look froward to, even though I'm not the best pupil).
I really look forward to your Tuesday evening sessions. Your enthusiasm shows in these calls, and is obviously contagious, evidenced by the on-line questions that are raised during the sessions. It's the fastest hour and a half, no doubt.
Our short time training is truly bearing fruit. The month of September 2012, with an average investment of less than $150,000, I was able to make over $14,000 in banked profit. That's an annual return on investment of more than 110%.
I'm looking forward to a long and profitable relationship with the Adam Mash's Stock Club as one of your successful "Average Joes".
Thanks for everything Bubba,

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.
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.
Tom
Hi Adam.
I would like to thank my couch Todd for a help, patience and knowledge I received. I am really pleased that I am participating in the program and getting this great experience.

“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”
“Adam Mesh got me started with my trading career. He taught me all of the basics and helped me find my own trading style. Now I trade a couple of hours a day from whatever city I am in. Adam’s coaching has allowed me to live the ultimate lifestyle and reach my financial dreams by the age of 29.“
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
"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"
Bubba,
Not sure what made me think of this just now, but since I bothered you today, I thought I would make it up to you. Back on 3/16/2011
I bought 10 calls on RIMM right at the low of about $59.00. It kept going up and hit $64.63 on 3/24/2011. I saw no reason to get out, but there was some news overnight and it opened at about $56.00 the next morning….. OUCH!!! ………Game over…… I whined to you about it, just because you were dumb enough to listen…. But here’s the best part…. I saw my financial advisor a couple days after that, and told him about my RIMM trade… He said that he had just bought a crapload of RIMM that morning(around $55.00). I questioned his purchase, and told him that according to me and my coach(that’s you), that RIMM was still going down, so why buy it, until it hits a bottom. He said he was going to hold it for several months, and it would go back up…
It’s now been several months…. And RIMM is around $16.00 today…..
You are the man!!!!!
Just when I wanted to throw in the towel, your calming words in this frightening market have been such a help to me. Thank you thank you. It is very scary out there. You are the best, Todd.
“I just had to let you know that I have now had my most profitable trade ever following some of your techniques. I am more disciplined and confident and really enjoying my trading as the results are showing with increased profits. Great work, thank you for your assistance and guidance it is much appreciated. “
Adam,
Eight weeks ago I began a quest for the understanding of stock investment with Ethan Finkell. I, as many others, have lost my investments and savings in stocks with a so called "Professional Finance Investment Company", and needed help. I signed up for the Adam Mesh Stock Club and fortunately landed with Ethan Finkell as my personal coach. I knew nothing of stock investments and was petrified at the idea of attempting to buy and sell stocks with REAL money.
Through the expert knowledge and patience of Ethan I am now beginning at new adventure in stock investments with the leadership of the Adam Mesh Club. Hopefully this is only the start of something new and our partnership lasts for many years in the future.
Good luck to us ALL,
Judith Timko

Hi Adam,
My name is Anthony (tony) Novo and my coach is Darryl Martin and I just want to tell you that Darryl is a credit to your organization. He is very knowledgeable and also very personable. 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
Best regards,
Tony Novo
Adam,
I wanted to send you a quick note to let you know of my great appreciation for the program you developed and in particular, my coach, Darryl. He's one of a kind in my opinion. He's professional, dedicated, big-hearted, and a fun coach! I think the program is fantastic and it's really starting to sink in to my thinking. My only challenge is my work schedule, but I'm determined to make it fit in my routine. Darryl provided me some strategies to ensure this.
I also enjoy the other approaches available via the forum and plan to dedicate more time to understanding them. The totality of available techniques, I think, create a more robust understanding of how to trade in the market place.
I never had a chance to meet or talk with you, but I hope to sometime. It seems like a great group of folks in the program.
All the best, and God bless!
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!
Tom
Hi Christian,
Since we didn't talk yesterday, I wanted to let you know how I fared this week in my maiden voyage into the market. I am still watiing for funds to be transfered, but I decided to transfer cash and make a trade if possible.
Monday all of the stocks on my watchlist had gone above my entry points, except RIG, which was approaching 50. I entered at 50.35, set my stops below low of prior day, which protected me without kicking me out. It closed around 55.85. Had higher highs, higher lows.
Tuesday it had gotten up to 57 and pulled back lower than my entry price. I left my stop where it was, sat tight and let it run even though S&P500 down slightly.
Wednesday it closed at 56.60. Fought the temptation to take my dollar, and just let it run. Left stop loss where it was.
Thursday market was up, RIG was up to 59, so I decided to protect profits. I raised my stop loss, but screwed up by placing the loss too high and it eventually dipped and kicked me out at 58.34. That's ok, though. As they say, pigs get slaughtered, right?!!
It was a great lesson in patience, setting stop losses, and just forgetting about the money and focusing on the trade--entry, target price, exit. And I made a litte profit.
One queston. I had set my stop loss at the low of the current day, but that was only 1% or so. When protecting profits, do you still set your stop loss at about 3%? (By the way, I realized this is what I was trying to ask you at the end of our last session but hadn't articulated very well).
Thanks for your coaching. I'm super motivated to become a successful trader and I look forward everyday to waking up to see what the market has in store for that day. It's great!
Talk soon.
Adam,
I just wanted to write and tell you how much fun this program is. I am working with Todd Horwitz and he has been a great coach. I can't tell you how much I've learned and how much confidence I have after being at this only 4 weeks.
Thanks for the great program and the great coach.

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.
Brandon
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
Hi Stephanie - Thanks for taking care of everything for me; I also appreciate the extra month. I do want to mention that I have been through two other trading programs, and Adam is the best! He simplifies trading in a way that reduces uncertainty and builds confidence. I'm not where I want to be, but I'm getting there.
Hope you have a great Thanksgiving,
Kathy
Hi Christian,
I am a member of the 5 Star Market Cast.
First... I’ve been trading for over 6 years and spent a ton of money with Investools PHD program among others.
I could a saved myself a bundle with just your training.
K.I.S.S.
Thank you so much.
Adam,
You could not have placed me with a better coach. Darryl is an amazing person as well as an exceptional coach. I can only hope I can truly put to use what he has taught me about your program. I would recommend your program to anyone. It was a huge leap of faith when I signed up for your program, due to the fact that I am unemployed and do not have any income at the moment. I am so glad that I did. It has been a very worthwhile expenditure.
I would like to continue to be on Darryl's call and I would also like to continue on your calls and the Forum. Will I be able to cancel if I need to due to my financial situation? Hopefully, I will be making enough income from my stocks so it will not become a problem.
Again, I cannot give Darryl enough praise or you for having such great intuition on who should be my coach.
Thank you for a giving me a wonderful and educational experience.
“Adam really helped teach me the mentality a trader should have. He worked with me on being disciplined and how to minimize risk and maximize returns. He helped me to build a successful trading style that I still use every single day.“
Todd,
Good week so far.
I've been stopped out with some ups and some downs for a net of $1921 taxable gains for this week so far. I am Learning from my mistakes and making money too is a good thing and a good feeling.
I profited most on FCX & HPQ. Still holding and moving my stops up on ADBE (up 98%), MOO (up 40%), OIL (up 34%) and GIS (up 30%).
This morning I bought calls on LEAP, ARMH, MRO, ESRX, and SNDK and a put on AFL.
Biggest lessons I've learned this week from my mistakes are to not set my stops too tight after making my initial purchase and not to buy anything until I have seen the mood of the market. Just because a company announces positive earnings before the opening bell doesn't tell us what the market will do. I bought WAG at opening after their announced earnings and got kicked in the butt. Two hours later, after WAG had tanked, I bought into it again and got stopped out two days later for a profit that more than offset the loss I took by my initial purchase.
I am having fun too.
Dave
Hi Christian,
Great call last night ... your coaching calls are really unique and valuable in passing on amazing information about the market.
Just wanted to check in although I think I know what I am doing more now.
great resistance of RIG at 60 a few weeks ago against a big market downturn so went long and raised stop all the way up to 63.90 currently at 64.60 - need to take profit before earnings before 03/08 - haven't had to do this before so I guess you just pick a spot a couple of days before and go for it? Got into ANR today at 45 despite a hammering as it was holding and we bounced twice on 12500 (DOW) so figure a short term rally before earnings 04/08 Got into VIV yesterday as it got above 30 in a tough market and currently 30.8 PNC didn't work out, made some dud short trades on FCX but OCDO.L short from 200 is working nicely (currently 183) Positions a little heavy given I agree/understand your message from yesterday and am fully prepared to scale back quickly next day or so. (or today!)
Is that it ... what else do i need to know ?!
Also ... We never really got onto earning plays ... .is there one of your calls that I can listen to to get up to speed?
Thanks again .... hope this is not too much ?
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
Todd,
Thank you very much. I believe this is a new beginning to my understanding options, charts and taking the emotion out of trading.

Thank you for your enthusiasm, it has definitely gotten me excited, as you said about skepticism, I was definitely skeptical. But after talking with you this morning I feel like I made the right decision. I told my wife about 4 years ago that I would not spend any more money on trading education, I would just have to take what I've learned and try to figure the rest out on my own. I dropped about 15 grand over about a 6 year period on courses with no success. I felt like every program out there was just there to make money for the company and not about actually helping people like me to become profitable traders. I'm not sure why I chose this Adam Mesh coaching course, but my wife says I usually have pretty good instincts, and she thought that I needed one on one mentoring by someone that knows what they are doing. So I gave it about a year and a lot of thought before I decided to pull the trigger. I am praying that my 10 year quest to become a successful trader has finally arrived.
Depart your wisdom and knowledge to your student and you will grow even more wise and knowledgeable.
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.
Thank You
Hey Gina!
I am so grateful for this opportunity to continue receiving the benefit of what the Club has to offer! Thank you so very, very much.
To be quite honest, I look forward each day to my interactions with the Forum and am always excited when I am able to join one of the calls.
Adam Mesh is the best thing to have happened since the stock market itself! What a great guy!
Thanks for everything,
Barbara
Hello Adam.....Darryl is opinionated...He is also an excellent coach with infinite patience..I have learned more from Coach Darryl and The Adam Mesh Program, over the last 15 weeks, than I learned in over 30 years of trading and numerous seminars, trading grues, trading courses, books and 22 advisory services. The Adam Mesh Program is a super bargain.... I am grateful.
Spanish...
... was what I heard when I would watch these spots a few weeks ago. Now, after working with you for less than a month, I feel like I can at least answer basic questions like "What is your name?" and "Where is the bathroom?" I know that I have a LONG way to go before I can carry on an entire conversation but with each day the Average Joe method of trading - which once seemed like a completely different language - becomes more and more clear.
Thanks for your patience with me and your help in making sense of the markets. It is very much appreciated!
I will send some homework over tomorrow and I am looking forward to our session on Saturday.
Great job on the spots! Enjoy the rest of your week.
Adam, You and Todd have been a game changer for me. This has been the most empowering collection of learning events of my life. The charts show me what to do and although I missed getting my trades in, like Monday I didn't get in my short in FSLR, it was a winner just the same. I've been getting better and better each month since I started last summer. I've made 8K so far this month and I know I could really do even better with more time. Thanks to you Adam and Todd for giving me a huge jump on becoming financally independent.
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,
Anna Padia
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.
Best,
Tim Prinz
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,
Ryan Edwards
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
Tom Wilks
I am know to gush as well as be a puke, but today it's (I'm) a gusher. These weeks that we have been working together you have been so supportive especially in building my confidence in myself. I AM able to see things and make good decisions. I entered all of these trades today including an AAPl and re-entry on GOOG, with good instincts and good stops, the money is pouring in. For a short time now I have heard the ship coming into the harbor, fog horn blasting I'm here. Today it was louder than ever. If you were Henry Higgins I think you'd be saying "by George he's got it". Today is definitely a major milestone in shifting my mental Mojo. YOU have been instrumental in my changes!
Thank you, thank you.......
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...
Talk care
David & Debbie Ratliff
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
Todd,
I have been doing real well on selling weekly options. When the market is moving up I sell puts on solid stocks that move on up days. I have been selling calls on stocks that have down trends that.
I know for you this is not very much money for me but I made over $5,000.00 today seliing the 9/30 115 calls on NFLX today. I also sold 30 contracts yesterday on GS 100 calls for a profit of $4600.00
The premiums on these options for short term are almost unbelievable. This is a crazy market but I try to limit my positions to 5 or less and I stay 100% in cash. Every day I use something you taught me.
Thanks again
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!

steph just wanted to check in with you guys, i have been with adam's program for a few months now and it's been a great ride, while at the beginning i was a big skeptic, you see i have done a lot of different programs i guess i just wanted to learn how to trade no matter what,then todd horwitz got a hold of me and just put it as simple as possible, although i am the one that would stay up at all hours of the night studying it wasnt that hard since what i was studying i love to read,todd made me see the market very differently , i have been trading on my own for about 2 months and i still get my bumps because of a wrong trade i do go back and see my mistakes knowing that i shouldnt of gotten in the first place, i guess it happens to us all, i figure if im am not in on a trade i cant make money,any way to make my side short you guys are the real deal by all means,i am todds biggest fan and like i wrote him you can use my testimonial at any time it is my absolute pleasure,thanks steph for your patience thanks adam for doing what you do and my coach todd horwitz see you on the calls
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,
Bill Tabler
Hey Adam, What a killer day!!! Days like today are what dreams are made of for traders!! Had a lot of fun today and I have YOU to thank for it!!!!! Thank you brother!! If it hadn’t been for your coaching and teaching me, I would not have been able to take advantage of great opportunities that exhibited themselves today. I hope you did great today too. Thanks as always, Darryl
Adam,
Thank you for the conference call today. It was informative and helped me stay distracted from the dentist poking around in my mouth.
FYI, Gavino partnered me up with Darryl and I have to say the match couldn't be better. Our ages, personality, backgrounds, and interests are very similar and after just one session with him I know that I am in good hands.
A few days before I decided to enroll in your mentoring program I purchased 14 stocks based on fundamentals as investments. All of these were purchased the night before everything kicked off in Lybia starting this recent correction if that what it really is. My point is that I managed to get out of everything save one stock without getting hurt by using information I gleaned from your documents and mp3s from your site, thank you.
Respectfully,
Scott Gwin
"Dear Adam, Good to talk with you today. Thanks so much for your advice and for taking the time to coach me. I am so glad that I got on board with you and your team. You have taught me excellent skills that have translated into great gains! It has been a very valuable investment, and It Keeps On Giving! A Huge Thank You to You and Your Team! You're The Best! Blythe"
To my dear coach Todd!,
I was offered during the Passover holiday, to get the project I was selected to run since March, for a permanent job. Today we signed a long term contract, with great financial benefits that comes with it. SO, I’M FORCED TO LEAVE TRADING FOR NOW. In the meantime, my wife is doing a great job in trading the Wheat market long and short, and was not so successful in the stock market. Since I came over under your program, I was able to pay off more than 80% of my debt, I will remember you forever, and I wish you lots of luck, success, and full health. I thank you for all the help, support, and patience you gave me, you are great.
Thank you again for everything you did for me.
With respect and love Yechiel and Sara Blum
"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.
Vince"
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!
Best regards,
Jay & Chris Morello
Hi Adam,
It's been a couple of months now since I have had the wonderful fortune of being coached by Todd Horwitz, whom I first watched on BNN.
I just want to tell you what a tremendous inspiration he has been to me and how thru his dedicated approach to coaching I've finally been able to gain control of my trading ability. It's been a frustrating process for me over the past five or so years. Now I have set my self a goal of earning a weekly profit of 3K and as a result of Todd's excellent teaching and guidance I am now easily surpassing that goal, something I would have never dreamed of occuring on a regular basis.
Adam all I can say is thank you for doing what you are doing for those who are willing to step up to the plate. You offer an amazing service to us all and it is greatly appreciated.
Keep up the stellar performance!
Sincerely,
Ingrid
Toronto,Canada
“Adam Mesh taught me how to trade from scratch. He gave me confidence and the skills to make consistent money trading in the markets. To this day, I continue to discuss my trades with Adam. I owe all of my success to him. “
Hi Christian,
Great call last night ... your coaching calls are really unique and valuable in passing on amazing information about the market.
Just wanted to check in although I think I know what I am doing more now.
great resistance of RIG at 60 a few weeks ago against a big market downturn so went long and raised stop all the way up to 63.90 currently at 64.60 - need to take profit before earnings before 03/08 - haven't had to do this before so I guess you just pick a spot a couple of days before and go for it?
Got into ANR today at 45 despite a hammering as it was holding and we bounced twice on 12500 (DOW) so figure a short term rally before earnings 04/08
Got into VIV yesterday as it got above 30 in a tough market and currently 30.8
PNC didn't work out, made some dud short trades on FCX but OCDO.L short from 200 is working nicely (currently 183) Positions a little heavy given I agree/understand your message from yesterday and am fully prepared to scale back quickly next day or so. (or today!)
Is that it ... what else do i need to know ?!
Also ... We never really got onto earning plays ... .is there one of your calls that I can listen to to get up to speed?
Thanks again .... hope this is not too much ?
Regards,
Hi Christian!
I happy and lucky to have you as my coach/mentor. I like that you were straight with me on my mediocre pick of entry level and trading with AIG and ADBE.
I have been spending more time at todaysbigstock.com.
I watched BDX and it appears to be pulling back to support level 75 (75.15) that I am considering for entry price. I wanted to put my stop at 3% below entry price (72.80) which means now that I am risking $2.35 to reward myself $5(because I am long and long level indicate 80). Is that risk reward ratio worth it? Or is there a flaw in my logic?
Thanks.
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
Todd,
I can't say enough about how much your daily notes help us make sense of the day's events in the market. Thanks so much for taking the time to write us each day.
Also, Tuesday night's call this week was awesome! Thanks for covering my question about trading chart levels vs. index levels.
You rock!
Last fall when the company where I had worked for nearly 20 years experienced a change in management, I began to plan for a possible “early retirement”. For months I had received emails introducing the Adam Mesh Stock Club, and I was drawn to Adam’s plain talk about his group’s way of making money in the stock market while having a life. Later last fall, I found myself without a job, but I had already joined Adam’s Stock Club – the wisest decision I’ve made in years. The best part of the program - the personal stock coach - is one they had not advertised but became the key for me. Todd Horwitz, who is a true seasoned pro, became my coach and exceeded my expectations regarding the club’s value ten-fold. Because of Todd, I have both a much better understanding of the research and trading systems they recommend to their members but also the confidence to replace my old job and its income with revenue derived from trading stocks and options. Thanks, Todd. And thanks, Adam for over-delivering on your program.
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!

“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! ”
Hi Adam & Todd:
I started the program at the end of January 2009. Todd’s teaching and training was suburb and I was excited about the program & techniques that he taught. In the beginning it was scary to make trades. After a while I got more confident in reading the charts and using the stops. I got braver and in the past 4 months I have made over 60 trades(25 buys & more sells because I started setting tighter stops on ½ of the position to protect profits). When I 1st buy a stock I set my stops at least 3% below the buy price and below the low of the day, but I get stopped out a lot.
I have been in CROX, TLB, Hun, FOSL, PWER, Patriot Coal, ARCH Coal, Fairchild, RINO, ARO, YHOO, RIMM, & GAP, plus a few others. I have traded CROX, HUN, TLB and ANR several times. I have been positive with HUN in the 3 trades I had in that one. The others have been mixed – plus on some trades and minus on other trades.
Most of my buys to date is in the $10 to $20 range. I watch CNBC whenever possible & listen when in the car. I read WSJ and other investor trade information sources and the more I read & hear the more fascinating trading the stock market becomes. I watch you guys on TV – good stuff.
I have been extremely impressed by the complete honesty, openness and excitement that you guys display in all aspects of trying to help your students grow their skills and make money. It is uncommon these days for leaders to admit they too make errors. You guys are so dedicated and just plain down to earth REAL people – it’s refreshing. I am so happy that I signed up with Adam Mesh & had Todd as my instructor. You guys do more that advertised! I am still pumped.
I appreciate any opinions each of you can offer on my situation to help me optimize my trading experience. You don’t have to rush to answer – I am in for the long term. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Thanks,
Bud Farris
Thanks, Christian. I'm very optimistic about these sessions based largely on how well you conducted it.
I've put together a preliminary list of 25 stocks based on Adam's price and volume criteria. I narrowed it down further to basic materials companies. Is that okay or should I narrow it down to 25 based on some other factor like volatility. I don't plan on trading these, but I do want to at least familiarize myself with those price levels to which each stock reacts.
David Layden
“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 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!
