Ken Roberts

 

Ken Roberts is a direct mail investment guru, that has made himself and his course, “The Worlds Most Powerful Money Manual & Course” very popular.  In which Roberts claims that he can show anyone, regardless of experience, how to be successful in futures trading with a budget of only $1,000.

Ken Roberts began selling this mail order course back in 1983. Today it sells for $195 and you receive: trading charts, a course on options, a newsletter, and his novel, “The Rich Man's Secret”.

Ken Roberts also offers you the option of getting access to an advanced training seminar for over $2,500.  He claims that he has sold over 300,000 copies. That adds up to roughly 60 million dollars, if you believe him.

What Ken Roberts does is combine his tips and strategies for futures trading with his overall philosophy of life. This adds up to a course that offers financial training along with mental and spiritual guidance to getting what you want.

According to Ken Roberts most traders will lose money 95% of the time. He says that his materials can show you how to avoid that nasty failure rate, yet he doesn’t offer guarantees on anything.

On top of that, Ken Roberts wants you to trade through a brokerage firm that he has a piece of in California, called Main Street Trading, which charges up to $95 in fees per trade. This means that in addition to profiting from his course sales he's also trying to get you to pay more per trade just so he can earn more.

I purchased his course back in 1999 and after reading it I haven’t taken it off my bottom shelf. What it comes down to is that Ken Robert’s weak advice and hypothesized theories haven't convinced me to enter the risky world of commodities trading.  A friend has also told me that Ken Roberts is in trouble with the NFA and CFTC.

It's important to realize that there is no one guru or program out there with all the answers.  It's up to you to learn as much as you can through a variety of resources in order to understand the big picture of trading.

One great tool that I personally recommend is Trend TV where you can view educational training videos from some the world's top analysts.  This is the type of information you'll get at seminars where a seat could cost thousands of dollars.

It's surprising that most people don't know about such a great resource that thousands of traders are using every day to improve their trading skills.  Click Here For More Info.

Got the course in the spring of 1997 and started paper trading. Three weeks later I saw an opportunity for a day trade in the pork bellies. This is something that Ken said that he did not do (Day trading pork bellies). But I saw the opportunity and move on it. Made $2300 on my first trade. I went back to paper trading just watching for another trade. Two months later I saw the chance for a long term trade in the bond market. I started with one contract and rolled my profits back into the trade by doubling my contracts. In December 1997 I took $32,800 out of the market in my second trade.

I was an auto mechanic making $46,000 a year. Now I own two technology companies and have 83 employees. I still paper trade and check the market everyday. Just looking for that next trade.

Ken Roberts changed my life.

1 more thing. Ken Roberts is accused of Fraud and the MF Global CEO is walking around free after stealing customer funds from their segregated accounts?

I think the idea of regular people making a fortune or being secure financially is too scary to the big wigs of the world. Better to have the 99% in slave labor jobs.

Get his first course and pay attention to the whole course, not just the commodities part. Then learn and learn.

I bought Ken's course 20 years ago, around 1990. It was basic but not mis-represented at all. I didn't take my life savings and immediately start trading.

I did what he said and paper traded for years, off and on. Every time my trade would be a loser I would try to learn what I did wrong and spent a few years learning and trading 1 contract at a time.

Twenty years later I can retire because of commodity trading.

I had no idea he was in trouble and had to shut down his business. That's too bad. The commodities course was a nice start but the rest of the course dealing with psychology was the most valuable part.

Now its so common to find trading psychology books but not 20 years ago. He was ahead of his time I think.

Thank You Ken Roberts.

I tried the commodities and was successful 50% of the time.What the course fail to show was getting in and out quickly which I did learn.I switched to stocks and have been successful 100% of the time using his schooling.
The methods are tried and true and do work just watch my stocks as EXK i was a buy in at 4:45 and now it at 12.60!Watching stock and commodities side by side and investing is great to do.ETF's that invest on commodities works just like your are playing the market.SLV I Invested in at 18 and sold at 38 !WOW you can't beat that!My friend whom had someone invest for him lost over 200K!
I beg him to invest in a ETF- SLV but he refused to this day I don't think he has recovered!He would have triple his money from 18 thru to almost 48 !As of today it at 42.50!
Folks it works but read the Ted Warren book over and over till you get it!When i trade with Ted Warren way I am 100% successful! When i don't it the 100% the other way.Sometimes you live and learn ads I did but my loss only 10K are small to my gain of over 200k!I have also made 40k in one day.It should have been 80k but the day I was going to invest it got busy at work and never call to invest more in my stock.Every time I ask my broker to buy more he would talk me out of it.I tell him what I want and what to do and just do it.Use the course and make money just do not expect result right away unless you pick a stock that happens to jump right after you buy it.The whole purpose of the course is to finds stocks no one else it looking at.My worse stock pick is 33% return.My best has been PARL at over 600% plus bought at 3.66 and sold at 26 which is over 600%.
Thanks Ken Roberts for the information.The SEC couldn't find a fraud if it was looking at one straight in the face.All these advisement newsletter are all frauds they just tons of legal jargon to be legal.You look at all these newsletter and you will see they get a kickback from the company for pushing the stocks they advise!(read the fine print its all fraud)So where is the fraud at Ken Roberts or the Newsletters!
SEC is blind and looks at Ken Roberts and not the newsletter which is built in fraud!
Some people are lazy and want a quick buck and sue as they lack the knowledge and thinking to act and let their emotions rule!
The course works and I am prove it works and I don't need anyone else to tell me otherwise! Anyone want to contact me about it go ahead!I will tel it works but I will not give out advise either you make your own picks as word gets out then everyone is buying what you are buying which is a false and misleading.

I took the entire series of Ken Roberts training. I studied the commodities course and the Delta Options Trading Course. I have now been trading futures for over 6 years, and have developed my skills to the point that I am pleased with the results.

In my experience, Ken Roberts never misrepresented anything. He offered a quality educational product to people who needed to learn the fundamentals of trading commodities, and it was a wonderful resource at very reasonable prices. He never presented trading futures as a "get rich quick" scheme, and always encouraged paper trading, being careful and did in fact warn course members of the risks involved in futures trading.

I have benefited enormously because of what Ken Roberts offered.

I bought Ken's course back in 1997, as a favor to a friend. I studied it. I paper traded for a month, then got into the trading. I made enough money in six months ($27K) to start a coffee plantation tour biz in Mexico. Thus, I got out and didn't look back.

Recently, I got into the binary options game, just for kicks. I dusted off the tactics and used them as a base, combined with another simple system. It works like a charm; it's so easy that it's almost like it's a perfect fit.

Now, I couldn't care less about Ken Roberts. He seems a bit too pompous and opinionated for me, and I do catch him in some "exaggerations" from time to time.

BUT, if you simply practice his course and apply it to binary options, you can make some serious dough. That's what I know.

I have had the course since 1996. sorry for all you people who just don't get it.I had no school other then high school. I worked for $10.00 an hour. I traded on paper for 3 years, yes 3 years. All i do now is trade. I don't need to tell you how much i make now, I only work about 1 hour a day. If you think it don't work good for you, if you are one of the few who get it, check out copper........up up and away
Thanks Kin......

I purchased the Ken Roberts course a number of years ago and really did nothing with it until I had a small cushion of savings built up..I went into trading options and my initial investment plus brokerage fees was $800 total...but i had purchased 4 put options and 2 call options...needless to say I did make a profit on my Cattle put options when the Beef Scare all of a sudden hit...I was in the right place at the right time...I invested $120 in that put option and when i closed and sold it I made $1800 dollars...wow !!!...and i to this day still have the proof and documentation from the Brokerage Firm i was using in Chicago...my other trades did not make a dime...but this was my first time out...since that period of time...i have not traded since due to divorce and other priorities...the only thing i will say...if i ever get back into this again..i will just have to pick up Ken Roberts options trading course just to refresh my memory....he is not a fake person and I for one can say his course is genuine and well worth the cost...........

As an introduction to the craft of trading commodities, it's been helpful. You have to start somewhere and this wasn't bad. They always advised to start small because the real education in trading is learning to deal with your own expectations and emotions. After trading the markets for several years (I would personally suggest 5+), a person might develop the acumen to make consistent profits, but sadly few ever have the patience to study the process. For those who do have the patience and develop a deep respect for the markets, it can be quite wonderful and rewarding.

HE SOLD OUT!!

Ken Roberts got out while the getting was good.

Go to his homepage, you will see every link leads to the grand message that on May 23, 2006 he sold it all.
This guy is trying to act like some cowboy hero that is riding into the sunset after saving the whole west.

He is not even selling the books anymore. Now I know he is closed shop!
I think that should be mentioned on this website to warn people who might still be in possession of the materials or have had it passed on to them.

When the founder runs I think the all the folks had better pay attention and double think things.

It is ironic though, he got out and about one year later we are at the bull run of commodities.

Jim

P.S. How many more of these guys are pocketing the money they garnished from people and are running and finding a place to lay low during the economic shifts and changes that are occurring today? Proves they do not have 100% faith in what they were selling and telling!

I have been a Ken Roberts course member since 1997. I have tried many other money making courses that offered no support and, after purchasing those courses, you were left on your own. With Ken's course, you not only have unlimited telephone support, but online support, monthly chats, email alerts and a team of patient and helpful course counselors. I have made more money in a month trading Ken's system than I made in my full time job. If a high school drop out can turn himself into a millionaire trading commodities, than anyone can do it. I did.
