Nope. You haven't "got it." If you care to read back over all the posts on this subject today, you should be able to get a better idea about how it works. I don't want to waste everyone else's time with it at this point.


I understand. Everyone should analyze things with somewhat of a skeptical eye. As pilots, I think this is our nature and part of what keeps us safe. $2500 is a lot of money. I wouldn't recommend that anyone spend that much money to take an investment class unless they had really done their homework on it. But just to put it in perspective... $2500 is less than one month's yield in my DPSP/401k. And I don't pay anybody to manage my accounts. I pay commissions to Fidelity on the trades... which are minimal in the grand scheme of things because I only trade one day per month and it's not a huge number of trades. I pay $30 to Snider Advisors in months that I use their stock screener to open new positions (I find that I'm paying this most months but not every month). And $10 to be a client of Snider Advisors and have their customer support (which I can count on one hand the number of times I've needed in 6 years). Other than that, there are no costs... anything I get is all gravy. I consider that $2500 the best investment I have ever made. But that's just what I have determined for myself. I'm not trying to tell you what to think. I really didn't even mean to get dragged into this long of a discussion on the topic (partially my own fault for trying to be helpful).

The Snider Method is not a scam. I am confident of that. But if you think it is, then don't worry your pretty little head about it... cause you don't have to do it!
