7:57 am
classes? we have all kinds of students. you know, we have people in the medical profession. we have carpenters. we have truck drivers. we have stay-at-home moms, teachers, even professional athletes. the key thing is they realize they can still make their dreams and goals happen through trading and investing in the markets. and, actually, you have a free half-day class that you're offering to our viewers. i actually attended that course, and it was fantastic. but tell us a little bit about what people are going to learn. yeah, it's an amazing class. i love that class as well. by attending that class, you're going to find out how the market really works. you're going to leave that class understanding that you can make money in up markets and in down markets, and you can do so with less risk than most people believe. and i think the best thing you're going to have is a clear path that you can pursue to make the markets start working for you rather than against you. all right, and actually going back to the whole gambling scenario, now you're basically teaching people how to count cards to win. how to be the house, basically. yeah, absolutely. how to be the casino. yeah. and i'll tell you, it was fantastic.
7:58 am
so i'm not just gambling, i'm actually being a professional. let's actually take a listen to some of yours students, what they had to say. great. before, our trading was, i have to say, sheer luck, and now we have a much better understanding of something much more technical about the market. in ota you learn a lot of techniques and processes that you have to learn the hard way after reading books and trying to do it on your own in the market, you know. your learning curve, builds your confidence, and you get to a more profitable level much, much y your students coe you? well, oddly enough, it's not about the money, chris, it's what the money can do for them. so many people today, you know, maybe they're struggling in their current job and they want a source of income that can't be outsourced or downsized.
7:59 am
or maybe it's just the lifestyle. maybe they don't love the work they have and they want to have more time to do the things that they're passionate about, or maybe they have a cause or family that they want to take care of, any host of number reasons, really. yeah, and i'll tell you when i attended the class, i met people, and it was diverse with what they wanted. so thanks for explaining this to us. i'm going to tell people how they can get ahold of you and take advantage of this free half-day class. great. so thanks so much. call now to attend a free half-day class on trading and investing for short-term income and long-term wealth. value of this class is $500 but the tuition is waived for callers from the show. you'll also receive a complementary flash drive on market timing that's worth $200 just for attending, so call (866) 816-1918. seating is extremely limited, so call now. you can also visit their website tradingacademy.com. their number again is (866) 816-1918.
