Testimonials

"Brandon is a phenomenal instructor. Just like having a good math teacher in school, Brandon's ability to link each new topic to the previous one with live examples keeps your attention and allows the information to sink in. I was never bored in this class, and I truly believe this is one the best investments I have made."

John L., November 2008

"Brandon is super-qualified to teach this class and prospective students should keep that in mind. Super experience!”

Fred B., October 2008

"The depth and skill of Brandon Wendell was different than any other stock "guru" or instructor I have ever had. I have gone to Investools, Think or Swim, Optionetics and read numerous investment books. I can tell that Brandon's skill is far above any other I have encountered. Most importantly, he is not just a theoretical talking head, but an actual trader."

Christophe B., February 2008

"Brandon was more than qualified to teach the class and his ability to relate the material to real life application was tremendously helpful. Also appreciated his intent to give the students as much information as he could provide in a short 2 day period."

Don H., October 2007

"You totally rock! Your instruction was top notch. Thanks so much for everything. I definitely feel like I can go home and begin to incorporate what you taught and that, with time, I'll be successfully trading. I look forward to seeing you around Online Trading Academy as I take more classes. Take care."

Laurie C., February 2006

"I wanted to thank you for your training, it was top notch. I was inspired by the way you taught the class and it solidified the choice I made to sign up with Online Trading Academy. I didn't fully sign up for the advanced class, but you made it easy for me to sign up for the 4 day and I plan on moving forward with the Active Trader Class once that is done. Again, I ppreciate all your efforts - you are a highly educated trainer."

I hope you realize how well you taught that class! You really know your stuff! And the extras you included, I am grateful for! I'm glad I took so many notes. As I review them, I know I'll be able to hear your and sal and bert's voice to help me remember the rules and the game. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!"
