Of course trading courses don't work. Cos the trainers themselves are failures. Why else would they want to teach and impart their knowledge? If they can already make millions, why waste time teaching dummies who don't know anything?

Remisier King Peter Lim doesn't teach for money. He willingly shares his knowledge (the general stuff) with newspapers. Go read his interviews. Of course, he won't share the very special stuff that gives him an edge. He'll buy the stock first, and then later the newspapers will learn of it, like the recent purchase of Informatics stock.

So, if you are a "dummy" in trading, do yourself a favour. The first thing you should do is read up widely first. The basic stuff is all free. As for the stuff that gives people an edge, you can never learn from a "guru" anywhere. It naturally comes with intelligence and experience.
