Dave Johnson is a fraud

Me and two of my trading partners used to be Daves students at Investools. We learned a lot from him. When he started ibuklybear we followed him and executed his trades as we trusted him. Our mistake. When Dave went on his own he stopped following his own rules. We lost a lot of money. Do not get fooled by him unless you want to gamble casino style
