      The Short Case on INVESTools
      I just attended an Investools seminar and was surprised after reading the many negative reviews on the company and its tactics. They must have modified them (or our instructor did) in that they issue lots of disclaimers and didn't show outlandish 80% returns for people. The sad fact of the seminar was the attendees - I was clearly one of the most highly-paid and highly-educated people in the audience (a simple BS with lots of extra book learning and consulting experience and make a measly buck-50). Also I was one of the only ones who left that day to do some more homework before plunking down my hard-earned $999 on their course and free 6 months of the service, everyone else couldn't pull out their cards fast enough. I hope those blue-collar (or unemployed) people that were there don't get swindled as it always pains me to see the poor/stupid get taken. I know many of them hoped to quit their jobs and get rich day-trading on their system. I truly hope they can make a decent living using their system, however they should realize since they don't have much $ to start with I doubt their money will multiple as fast as they want unless they wager big (their house, broken cars, etc) or dangerously.

      Thanks for the interesting reading and I'll probably sign up myself as I spend way too much time combing through the other sites and my own spreadsheets to get to the numbers they give you in a few clicks.
