Hi FrankTheTank,

A very nice post from a person that is not a FR member. Thank you for trying to give an unbiased report. Too many posters use the word "scam" to start a flame war. I'm always interested in give and take in an honest discussion.

Your point about taking anything you hear from FR members with a grain of salt is well taken. I'd like to extend that to anything you read on a forum or on the Interenet period! I am a member of FreedomRocks and I know that there are some posters who will exagerate to drum up business. I spent too many years in the industry with the Feds looking over my shoulder to feel comfortable with that approach. I ( and many others) prefer to let the program itself do the talking. The best advice I can give is to check out the various websites (mine included), watch the product movie (important!) and then decide for yourself.

Your overall view of FreedomRocks is generally correct if overly simplified. It could be you need to come down to around 20,000 feet or so to see some more detail I think you caught the gist of it, though.

I am curious as to how you figured out you were risking 10% to 15% of your portfolio every month in order to get a 4% to 6% return. Could you expand on that? There may be a misunderstanding here but I would like to get some detail. The misunderstanding might be mine!

Finally, folks, don't let all the talk about MLM throw you off. FreedomRocks is first and foremost a trading program. They do offer a "referral rewards" program but it is NOT a requirement and we have a number of traders that are not taking advantage of it. I can also tell you with out fear of contridiction (I hope) that everyone in FreedomRocks is there for the trading. The referral program is a very nice added extra for those of us who are interested. It can easily offset the cost of the trading system everymonth and is worthwhile for that alone. My own opinion of course.

Thanks for the chance to help fire off a new forum. I'll be interested in seeing the comments that follow. Have a very happy and profitable New Year everyone.
