I NEVER met a seminar teacher who did it "just for the altruistic purpose of helping others". Maybe there is one out there ? I would venture that the vast majority of seminar leaders in the futures industry do it because they cannot make any money trading.
They are most ALL in it for the money. If they were not, they would hold seminars for free at their houses.
I certainly have not suggested any teacher do anything for free, unless of course he wants to. I suggested that Mark may get more participants if he posted performance results of his systems. In essence that's showing potential students the VALUE of what they would receive at the seminar (the code).
That's not asking for much --- if you have anything decent to show --- especially for year 2003.
For the unaware, Mark ran an ad in Futures Magazine advertising his seminar.
I come from a suggestion standpoint --- not criticism.
