Jack Bernstein is a market guru.
He has authored many books on making the commodity market a little risk-free
for investors. However, in reality, it is the most risky market and you must
always be willing to loose a part of your investment. A few books written down
by him are The Trader's Bible and the Best of Bernstein: A Treasure Chest of
Jake Bernstein's Market Wisdom. .
Jack Bernstein has also
released newsletters, video courses and a CD-ROM. The annual subscription of a
newsletter comes for $400 and the weekly subscription for $895 a year. For his
two-day seminar, he offers telephone lines too and charges the amount $2500 for
each individual. However according to the Commodity Traders Consumer Report,
people who had worked in accordance with Jack Bernstein newsletter worth
$895 had made losses for the period of five consecutive years from 1988 to
1992.
There is another side
about his education too. Jack Bernstein says that he has a Master's
degree in psychology from Chicago's Roosevelt University while registering with
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. However, in reality he has never earned
a Master’s degree. During 1996, he worked in an infomercial and hyped his video
course ‘Trade Your Way to Riches’ for $180. A few claimed to make money
from it but many have complaint of losing big amounts while using his products
during 1996 and 1997. Jack Bernstein was also fined for $200,000. The
hearing panel of NFA has expelled him and his company MBH for making tall
profit claims, using false promotional material.
