**** It is a rather interesting phenomena that each time someone asks on a
list or forum about Mikey's Methods, that the title of the request for
information says "Mickey" rather than Mikey.
***** This is usually followed by the response that Mickey is the mouse in
Orlando and Mikey is the commodity course teacher, or some cute variation of
that. Strange that this repeats itself again and again.
***** Mikey's Methods has taken the Ken Roberts school of marketing one step
further by including an element of multi-level marketing into it. Mikey's
Methods will hold workshops to teach people how to teach people about the
futures markets.
***** I have had the pleasure of being cyber-attacked by one of these MLM
trading gurus, who ultimately admitted that he had never even traded Mikey's
Methods with real money. But he had his own web site to sell them.
***** As luck would have it too, I am not a personal favorite of Mikey. He
approached me at one point asking if I wanted to advertise at his web site.
I asked him his name and if he was registered. He replied he was a CTA, but
did not even have the courtesy to give me his name. I had to find that
elsewhere. Mr. Michael Radcliffe, AKA Mikey, was not registered as a CTA,
but his wife was. Since this time the 1st Amendment case has been decided,
so the regulatory cloud has cleared on this issue a lot. But still, I sure
appreciate it when I know the real identity of the person soliciting my
business.
***** There is a lot more to the history of Mikey, and his dislike for me.
But there is no need to go into that now. But take my advice, if you are at
a cocktail party with Mikey, don't bring my name up if you are in polite
company because "Mikey doesn't like me!" :-)

about "Mikey's Methods," (not miCkey's....) I can offer my opinion.
Having spent some time on the site, and also looking further afield, I'd
say this is nothing more than a Ken Roberts knock-off. Same snake oil,
different shade of bottle (not much different).
