"Gatis has been trading his own account successfully for over 25 years and teaching sold-out investment classes in the Seattle area for well over a decade. We are very excited to have him as both an instructor and a blog author for StockCharts.com."
"The knowledge I acquired from Gatis' class has greatly assisted my personal trading. Great information, wonderful teacher, nice warm style, positive, helpful, and organized. This class has really helped me establish good fundamentals for my trading."
"The Boot Camp is the real thing: in person learning from highly successful traders who have both proven street credibility, along with the experience and passion of great teachers. I have been trading for over 10 years, and read countless books and attended dozens of workshops. This is in a league of its own; far and away the best course I have attended with countless actionable ideas being presented. It provides immediately useful strategies, and a personalized approach tailored to our group. I left feeling more confident and inspired; equipped with new ideas on how to improve as a trader both strategically and mentally. Coincidentally, the cost of the course was recouped on one trade the day I returned."
"The Investor Boot Camp was the single best class on personal investing that I have taken. The presentation was focused on helping ME become a better investor. The routines, methodology, and strategies that Gatis and Grayson presented have boosted my knowledge, my self-confidence, and my attitude towards investing. I feel that my approach to investing will now be more deliberate and focused, as I’m better informed about investing success and discipline. I also really appreciated Gatis and Grayson taking the time to answer each and every question; we spent a lot of time listening to them discuss their experiences, philosophies, and styles, insights into their methods that were truly valuable. This was really a great class, thanks so much!"
"What I liked most about the course was the instructor, Gatis. He is professional, knowledgeable, approachable, energetic, enthusiastic and interested in the well-being of his students. He gave me a broad perspective and useful investment tactics."
"A wealth of information. The course was extremely helpful towards making more consistent trading profits. I especially liked Gatis' chart analysis discussions. Great discipline building course. I have learned a tremendous amount."
"It’s been said that knowledge is power and information is liberating. In the days after experiencing Gatis and Grayson's two-day Investor Boot Camp I simply feel reborn. I have been given the mentality and intelligence for dealing with the markets that few have had the opportunity to access. This powerful gift from Gatis and Grayson will produce benefits for me a million fold over the price of admission. How can I thank you enough?"
"The two-day Investor Boot Camp was undoubtedly the best investing seminar that I have attended in the last twenty years. I came away refocused and recharged. Gatis shared his personal disciplines, methodology and strategies to help all of us overcome our mistakes, foibles and fears. His advice was clearly presented and totally transparent. The weekend was well worth my time, effort and money. Thank you."
"It always seemed like I was on the outside looking in to the world of success in trading and investing. The Boot Camp invites you inside. Gatis and Grayson generously share specific details that can stack the deck for your profitable enterprise. Their solid method clearly explained is a rare and unique preparation in a complex arena. Thank you both for opening your doors and my eyes for new understanding!"
"The two words that describe my experience are inspired and empowered. Multiple times during the class, I found myself thinking, "why would I pay someone 1% to manage my money when I can do it myself?" Gatis and Grayson cut through the BS and presented a straightforward, tactical approach that we can take away and implement the next day, which I did. Brilliant! Thank you for sharing your gift with us, we are truly lucky to have someone teach us how to be a successful investor."
