Student Testimonials

"I am an emeritus medical school l professor and I have taught for over 40 years. I have gotten a number of teaching awards but 2 of those have been national ones. I am just trying to give you an idea of my experience. I have taught classes of 10 students and lectured to as many as 1200. For me, the real challenges were with the smaller classes. Last week my instructor was Craig Weil. I may be a bit wrong in my data but not much. I think we started with 5. I think only 2 or 3 of us were new (the others were repeating). After part one several others joined us; one had taken part 1 and the other 3 had not. Lord, how was Craig to handle this. There were personalities involved. Part 2 had lots of reasons to be a disaster. We, who had been there, resented going back to day 1. One of the new people who had taken part one several years earlier had gotten different messages so he had issues. My point here is that Craig molded a most disparate group into a very supportive group that worked. Craig is a nice guy and obviously a good trader but as a teacher he has few peers. I think he should have been a psychologist." Neal P., February 2013

"What I liked best: The time we spent making our charts tradeable. Craig detailed how to go from monthly charts down to the 5 minute chart and create the supply and demand zones needed to successfully trade the market of interest. Great Job." Jeff J., January 2013

"What I liked best: The hands on training, tutoring and mentoring, charting and individual attention given by Craig to each and every individual. I know I can apply the same charting skills for my swing trading as well." Shehnaz S., January 2013

"This instructor allowed us to follow him practicing rules and rationalizations on trading, but at the same time the method of teaching allowed the student self discovery on creating a personal approach and attitude, and most of all adapting personal rules so that the student is trained on his/her own process of thinking." Lina M., January 2013

"Craig does a great job merging the science and the art of trading. His passion for teaching showed and I appreciated his commitment to the trading and investment profession. Relating trading to real life situations was done very well. Adding humor made it an enjoyable experience." Chuck D., November 2012

"What I liked best: Hands on experience and individual approach from the instructor's perspective. He was very honest, candid and openly shared his thoughts and always answered everyone's questions." Guy P., November 2012
