Yes, those are my thoughts as I posted them. Didn't need/want to judge the entire education. Made my assessment within the first hour.

To invest $24,000 in any investment program is a ripoff. If one doesn't have the desire to learn on their own, spending $24,000 on any program isn't a wise investment. I'd like to know everybody's roi that invested $24,000 in their program. I'm sure I've learned more from my $35 candlestick textbook.

Another thing, why would anybody in their 70's want to start learning how to invest. SWIM should have done these older folks a favor and sent them home. Maybe these are the suckers that spent $24,000 on their program.

They've been in business for 26 years. Well, 2001 must have been a good time to go public. Those who laid the foundation for the business really made out. Makes sense. Go public, take the show on the road, sell out when the model has deteriorated. I think Ameriturd should focus on their trading platform and worry less about subs anyway.

Subscriptions...I think we both agree on this. If anything, it is likely that both companies have less today.
