Hi. I attended an options trading course with Mirriam MacWilliams in Malaysia. If you allow, let’s share some insights into this in private email. :)

I just attended the seminar yesterday and I must say Clemen Chiang is indeed an outstanding speaker. I guess he easily reaches so close to the hearts of the audience with his frankness, analytical and knowledgeable approach towards the subject of options trading and life.

Really admire this guy who described ‘he started from nothing!!’ to what his value is today. I almost signed up when he offers the ‘last 20′ seats at a price of ‘$120′ to those who have financial obstacles. I was the first to sprang from my seat to the registration table where I found the truth. Ok, I’m just a typical person who won’t resists this cheap offer though I know deep inside that it’s not that simple!

True enough, that lady told me this:
$120 x 36 months or
$180 x 24 months

That is a total of $4320 which is even more costly than the first group who were offered $3999. Helping the second group financially like this? Well, I understand this is a world of business and reality but sometimes the type of little gimmicks really piss people off even though they could be keen, exactly similar to network marketing styles.

I pulled out after 2 other questions finally, especially the lady couldn’t answer my questions in clarity. I just thought should find out more b4 committing.

Thanks Jmot for sharing your thoughts! I believe nothing is as simplified as what is presented in a mere few slides and there’s no single strategy that can be applicable to all.

I will still continue to research more on options trading though. Clement’s 3 days session sounds great in theory but it just lack the clarity in details to participants before their sign up. I hope those around will also try to find out more before committing your $$$ :)

This Clemen Chang was once a NTU Student Union president. He bezzled the union funds due to great losses in options trading and got sacked at an EOGM. For the next 2 years, no Singaporeans wanted to run for SU and then it became a foreign student affair ever since then…

I agree with jmot. I attended the freely course and found his strategies are not that user friendly and lack of clarity when come to execution.

Can you or waywalker share with me on Mirriam MacWilliams ?

Dr Clemen Chang, ha, ha. He made money in seminars and real estate. Absolutely not option trading. Do you know 99.99% of the people lost money in stock and opton trading. It’s take about 20+ years to learn how to trade. Go and ask any successful trader.
Dr Clemen Chang’s seminar is good only for educational purpose (too expensive for 5 days traning) and not for making money. People signed up for the course when GREED and FEAR (fear of loosing the opportunity) took over. People should cool down for 5 days. However, Success Resource always make a good offer to entice people.

In short, Dr Clemen get rich by selling his seminar and invest the money in real estate. Do what he does. Don’t do what he tells you to do. Same as for Richard Tan of SR.

Cheers!

I’ve just attended a talk on Miriam MacWilliams’ Smart Trader Training conducted by Wealth-Mentor (S) Pte Ltd. Everything they say are so promising. Yes no doubt they did not promise to make you a instant Billionaire but the aim is to have a sustainable income rich enough to live a quality life about normal average salary employment.

But looking at the set up. Miriam & Arron, whom was suppose to have learned from Miriam, are still not trading full-time but from earnings from conducting such courses around Asia. I’ve also notice they have many mentors however they seem not to be trading too but busy with organising and running the course. So if they say that the techniques Miriam teaches requires you to only spent 20-30 min a day. So why are these Mentors not doing it?

Recently I dug out a article about Miriam and her 2 million dollar feat. It seems that wealth she made in 2005 was a one-off thing and had gone bust after the bear market. Apparently thereafter she did not manage to perform such a feat again but gone into research and training.

During the recent talk about Smart Trader seminar, they did briefly show what she had recently trade 123K for over 9 mth….so it is worth it to pay such a high course fees for such return, a return only achieved by a guru herself?

However this could be one of the better course than others to attend if you dont mind spending the amount to learn. Hear/say that her strategy is simpler than other guru and they dont have software that you need to purchase & all the research materials are found free online. They just provide guidance even after 6 month. Sucess or failure also depend on individuals, although they dont mention I believe there are some that did not make it.

Reading stocks the ‘price action’ way
That’s one of the investing principles trading coach Miriam MacWilliams teaches. GENEVIEVE CUA finds out more about her investing methods
AT a dinner party at the height of the dot-com rage, trader and trading coach Miriam MacWilliams recalls meeting an accountant who revealed that she was retiring, thanks to a stock account that had ballooned to nearly US$2 million in value.
Miriam MacWilliams: “I don’t want people to focus on the news at all. Just focus on what you see happening on the stock. Believe that price action dictates everything.’
‘I told her you might want to liquidate, make some investment in real estate … She did not. All that money was tied up in Cisco Systems.’ The long and the short of it was that the entire capital disappeared in the aftermath of the bear market that ensued.
The devastation of dot-com bust started Ms MacWilliams on a journey to discover why people were losing so much, and how they can be helped. She was then - and still is - the national education director of the US Stock Investors Club. She began to visit other clubs across the US.

hi JCML, interesting sharing. as a matter of fact, it is very true that not all course participants (for any course for that matter) succeed after attending courses. the courses serve as a kickstart, there is still a lot of hardwork to be put in after the course.

if you find M course too steep there are certainly many alternatives around.

I attended Mirriam’s seminar a few years back and paid Rm10k and have been attending her refreshers every now and then. If any of you are interested to get D materials used in her training and are not willing to part away with RM15k, I am ready to pass to you the loads of materials, plus a little explaination. Good day.

Hey I just attended a free seminar from Mirriam’s assistant. The seminar is a good presentation with many interesting stuff. The course fee is too expensive, is SingDollar 6k.

Anyway I read here that you guys have some course material? Could send to me also? Thanks in advance :) utmexpress@ hotmail.com

FYI, I didnot go for the course as after much thinking I am not so convinced it is worth to go for. Anyway during the seminar I was emotional to put SD500 down payment as to book a seat for the course. Now I called them for refund (cancel the booking as not confident of the course) and was asked to wait 2 weeks of working days to get the refund. I was so shocked to know it. They never tell me about this during seminar.

Anyone here did attend this expensive course? The strategies really work and really have 200+% profit in 6 months time as they said in seminar?

Thanks,
Kyne
