Answer>> The mysterious person behind that website is called "Gerry".
The only Gerry in the Turtle program was Gerry Parker with whom I
(Russell Sands an original Turtle Program graduate)
set up Chesapeake Capital with (The Biggest Turtle Fund there is).
Gerry Parker is definitely not involved with that website.
That website appeared in 1996 a full 4 years after I started
my seminars. They were not original turtles they are copycats
and are not genuine. They are however very good at selling stuff
and imitating.
If you are interested to see how real they were asking the following
questions:
1. Were you employed by Richard Dennis?
2. Which Turtle Intake were you in?
3. Have you ever managed Richard Dennis' money in the futures
market?
4. Are you a Registered CTA?
Russell Sands can answer yes on the first 3counts. Can
the others?
And as far as the fourth?
Russell Sands has been actively and successfully involved in the Futures Industry for over 25 years, and is thus very well qualified to teach other people how to trade. Russell is the sole Owner and only Principal of three different corporate entities, Raintree Futures Inc., Turtle Futures Inc., and Turtle Talk Inc., all three of which are registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and two out of three of which are also members of the National Futures Association. Russell and/or his corporate entities either individually or collectively hold all the following licenses and registrations : Series 3 (commodities), Associated Person (AP), Introducing Broker (IB), Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA), Commodity Pool Operator (CPO).
Here is a typical question we get from turtletrader.com
customers:
Your inquiry regarding: Neophyte Turtle
I just started with the original Turtle course from their
TurtleTrader.com website.
I have a lot of questions concerning the material in the course; some
of the responses
to my questions have been unsatisfactory, vague, even rude.
I need more than this to understand fully what is going on. Already
spent $999 on
the course and studying diligently. Could you help further with this?
Our Response:
We are sorry to hear that but are not surprised as that seems to be
the way they have done business since they copied what Russell Sands
was doing. The reason for the rudeness is because they don't know what
they are talking about and have never traded the method.
We used to answer questions for their students out of sympathy and it
got so much that sometimes it felt like TurtleTrader.con would refer
any hard questions to us! Now we simply offer a rebate of US$1,000 for
purchasers of their course (YOU MUST SEND ALL THEIR MATERIALS) off the
price of our Video, DVD or Live Seminar.
Be aware that our courses come with daily emails of positions and
Orders and question and answers almost 24 hours around the clock.
May I ask why would you chose them instead of with an Original Turtle
who is a CTA and traded the method for over 18 years and will meet his
students face to face?
