My name is Bertrand Dénervaux; I come from Switzerland.
I know Inside ALPHA a little
through different channels, the first being l'Agefi (www.agefi.com)
and The Insider's Corner (Marc's column in l'Agefi). I also subscribed to
Marc's free newsletter, I read some of Marc's articles
at Agora's, I ordered his eBook on his website
I have also ordered the DVD
with his presentation at
Agora's technical analysis seminar, so all these things
convinced me to participate in The Lazy Turtles.
I got interested in this Lazy Turtles training
for various reason, the main being that I am in general
disgusted by the world of finance and the advice that you might receive
in a bank. I have the impression that the people sitting across the desk
do everything but advise me, they sell me products they've been told to sell.
I personally didn't feel able, by myself, to
invest in the markets, I feel like everything I do is a mistake,
every little thing I did looked like a mistake.
So I was looking for a solid method that works, advised by someone
who knows what he's doing, in order to learn to be autonomous.
There were four days of training.
I mainly liked the last two days, I think that the first two days
were frustrating, we had much information
but it remained theoretical, we didn't know where this was going.
We spent lots of time during the first two days, like calculating
the Z score, the Kelly formula,
while moving very fast on other things during the second and third day. So I think that it would be good to
structure the course a bit differently, I think that
for someone like me, who never traded a single option in his life,
who has bought stocks, who knows the markets, who understands how it generally works,
it was still necessary to pay attention
to follow the course. It's a lot of information and on the first day you might not understand it
immediately, so you need to look at the papers over the next few weeks.
It's good if you have time between the training days
so as to digest, because in the evening of the third day,
you might feel some things are incomprehensible, and then three days later it looks self-evident.
But there is so much information in each day that you don't see clearly at first.
So the four day structure is good.
Today, at the end of the fourth day, I feel ready
to take on the markets with this technique, but I don't feel yet at ease
with the way to do it, as I haven't done any trades
yet. I guess I'll start with some paper trading
or maybe I'll go right ahead with real money,
but I still have many apprehensions about
the way to manage the ideas.
On the other side, I am convinced by the formula.
I adivse the training to anyone interested in becoming autonomous
in this field, and not to depend on financial professionals
who are just getting fat and leaving you the crumbs.
I look forward to being autonomous now, to test this.
I am not really interested in doing anything else. This method,
once a month, with the performance that goes with it, is enough for me, I'm not
a kamikaze, I don't need to scare myself, so
I'll just stick to the Lazy Turtles and see how it goes, at least for a few years,
without doing anything else. I recommend this training
truly for all those who are interested in becoming autonomous
and who wish to learn a method that works
without spending years in training.
I can be more decisive in a couple of years, after trading all by myself.
But at the end of the training, I think that anyone
interested and motivated can feel at ease
and be successful by himself.
