“I just had to let you know that I have now had my most profitable trade ever following some of your techniques.

"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,

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!

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

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.

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,

"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!

“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"

"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.

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.

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 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

“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 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“

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

Thanks as always, Darryl

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!

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.

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.

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

“Dear Adam, Good to talk with you today. Thanks so much for your advice! Funny, sometimes I feel like I know a stock will go up because I just sold it !!!! Ha Ha…. So BIG went up to 28.62 since I sold 400 at 28.25! (And a stock will always …go up or down after you sell it…..I have realized this!) I think I may have made 5-10 dollars!!!! I least I did not lose…. and at least I have that 100 on the table and I am still making gains now! Yea!!! I am wanting to learn how to trade around a position next since I usually buy and sell all at once…. So I am grateful for this lesson and I am glad I got to talk with you today. :- ) Thanks for taking the time to coach me! I will call you tomorrow. Also, I will be out of town next week in Mexico, so I will be on the call if I possibly can. Thanks Mucho for Everything Adam. I am so glad that I got on board with you and your team!

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

“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! ”

“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!!“
