In my opinion it isn't really necessary to see the performance of his
account for a seminar unless he want's to sell something.
I think it's more like the story of the old man and the fish and why it's
bettter to learn fishing.
But until this man doesn't come out of his country (what was the name of it:
Texas? *G) and come to Europe, I can't really judge about his seminars.
greetings from Zebra-Land, Mark
