Re: Daniel Kertcher/Platinum Pursuits - Serious or Scam?
As I've got a spare couple of hours, I thought I'd take another look at Daniel's transparent avertising.
Hi all,
I have listened to a couple of million aires in the past try to sell me their program/formula for generating wealth from the stock market. Listening to Daniels free 2 hour seminar was a very simple experience of ' Great! Someone who seems to have high integrity, is very clear and very trustworthy' It was a straightforward experience of ' I can trust what this guy is saying' and ' I can trust this guy' I finally signed up for a program on creating wealth through the share market after putting off doing so for nearly 15 years.
Pure psychobabble, trustworthiness is a perception all marketers try to cultivate... you are a bit too obvious in pushing this point. How can you judge trustworthiness from a two hour sales presentation? Ridiculous!
The guy is worth every cent. I question the scarcity mentality of people who think $4,000 is a lot of money to get further education and investing in yourself. crazy really.
More psychobabble to make $4k look cheap. For around $100 each, you can read the tomes of McMillan, Natenberg, Cottle et al and end up with many times more option knowledge than ANY weekend seminar.
Some individualized mentorship programs might be worth $,000s due to the individual effort attention the student receives, but a weekend seminar gives you enough information and the motivation to get yourself in trouble in the vast majority of cases.
And compared to what Daniel makes from the stock market and what he sits on wealth wise, it is really peanuts to him.....believe me, the money from students is not why he is doing his trainings.
I laughed so hard at this it left me gasping for breath. I'm sure you are a very wealthy guy Daniel, and I'm sure you're smart enough to plonk on the sharemarket, but from whence did this wealth accumulate?
Robert Kiyosaki often brags about his (un-named) business ventures, but a little digging reveals that these ventures are none other than his seminar etc business. His "business" is none other than what the sucker just paid to go and listen to.
I would stake money that your main income is the seminar business Daniel!
One $4000 suc.... er I mean "student" might be insignificant, but a room full of them, several times a year, plus add-ons, data, "advanced" courses etc, adds up to a significant amount of money over time.
I also question people who think they know it all and you do not need further training after x number of years in some field. It is that attitude that keeps you mediocre and lacking financially.
I think you would find that after x number of years in the field, some of the other respected options experts would be sought. PP is to suck in innocents and noooobs.
On the subject of which... There is a feeling of either tall poppy syndrome or even jealousy as I read through some of these posts.... The fact is Daniel is passionate, therefore very knowledgeable about his passion of making money through trading and has therefore a goldmine of information to share...Why should not he get paid well and charge well for it? Good on him I say!
Clearly, your passion is making money through promoting trading seminars. The goldmine of information is in observing the marketing. Kudos there. (Mind you this post you left was a bit too transparent IMO)
The actual trading information is basic, selective, incomplete and IMO, dangerous because of omissions.
Did you know in the energetics of the energy centers of the body, the base energy centre corresponds to survival/ money issues and abundance. And when people are jealous of anothers success and wealth, the jealous persons base energy centre shrinks and therefore attracts less abundance. And in turn if you are happy for someones wealth and abundance, your base centre expands massively and you end up attracting more money. Daniel is smart and uses a classic law of energy and wishes for everyone to be wealthy, actually does something about it and he gets lots of the same in return!
More disingenuous marketing blurb... psychobabble.
A lot of the posts were also cynical and critical... Look no one is perfect, if Daniel is not forthright in saying ' hey, I deserve to get paid really well for this info because I have lived and breathed this stuff for nearly 20 years now and I think that is the value of what I am giving you here', if he fumbles and feels he has to justify and says, ' hey it costs lots to put this on ' forgive him.
Why should we? IMO the cynicism and critique is well deserved.
No big deal. I know for a fact he has gotten his returns accredited/ proved by an accountancy firm. It is serious/ legit.
Easy one Daniel. Let's see it. Show the world continuous audited returns from say... Jan 2007 til now.
I know he has retired twice now only to get bored, etc. I know for a fact he made $1.4 million in one go on the markets not too long ago thanks to his incredible knowledge of the interconnectedness of the worlds happenings... He knows his stuff...
Nobody is questioning that you have made money. I'm quite sure you've made boxes of the stuff and have it lying around the house, but anyone with half a brain would understand the likely source of that wealth is not from trading your "system", it is from selling seminars, just like Kiyosaki, and others in the "wealth creation industry".
BTW, the claim of $1.4mil can only be hearsay unless verified. Hey I made twice that in one go. (And you'd be right in doubting that unless I could prove it).
Whoever was put off by the cynicism and critical minds who posted things in this thread...
Daniel, it really is cheeky to use the forum to try to get free advertising and then bag the membership who happen to know a thing or two. Mazzatelli for example is a professional in the field and would know more that the lot of us put together.
you have missed out because you failed to trust yourself and your initial instinct to be trained by Daniel.... Crazy I say... Trust yourself ...do not listen to other peoples cynicism and critical, down putting thinking. Sign up again. And do thenext 2 courses after the 1st. If you do not believe in yourself and your ability to make lots of money in the near future enough to invest 10 grand ( less really) in further education, if you cannot put your money where your self belief mouth is, then you have a very poor self worth which will keep you poor.
Classic salesmanship, going for the close, asking for the order, plus more psychobabble.
How many folks after forking out 10k are long term profitable?
How many are still trading your system after 2 years?

Thanks for the entertainment.
