Re: Seminars vs Mentorships

Although I had 2 mentors in the past, most of my learning was done alone. I found myself alot more productive and tend to push myself harder in an isolated environment.

I never attended a seminar nor do I plan to. One thing about mentorship which I keep telling traders is that you are basically paying to absorb the mentors trading style. If his/her style doesnt fit yours, this could become a conflict in the learning process. For example, my first mentor used alot of moving averages, sector analysis, and fibs. I grabbed the concept of identifying key levels but it did not fit my style 100%.

In my opinion, most seminars are overpriced and are a waste of money. I had the opportunity to watch some from on DVD's but never found it any useful.
