COMMENTARY OF INVESTMENT/TRADING WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS
“The workshop is a real eye-opener and invigorating. As a chartered accountant and a CFP all these years, I have yet to come across information that is so exciting regarding trading in stocks and options. Roland’s methods, if carried out systematically is a sure win-win situation for trading in the stockmarket. His knowledge and experience in this area is overwhelming and the cost of the workshop is really value for money. I would not hesitate to recommend this workshop to those who are keen to trade or perhaps even for knowledge.”
Lee Ling, Chartered Accountant and CFP, KL, 2006
I have attended other similar workshops, but your workshop “Essential Knowledge Needed to Win Trading Stocks & Options ” is very precise, easy to understand and most of all a very practical course that instantly enabled me to start trading in the market. It also equipped me with an additional survival tool to increase my wisdom and wealth. You are truly a master in this specialised field.”
Ong Chin Fong, Businessman, Ipoh, 2006
Your PUT candidates i.e. SNY and HOV, performed all the way down as you have mentioned. Well done! I really need to learn more from you. As for me, I bought a PUT on AIG and made $1,200 on paper with an initial $2,000 investment. I would like to work on insurance counters.”
Terence Cheong, Insurance Executive, KL, 2006
“Coming from the advertising and creative line with no background in finance or economics, Roland Lee’s course on “Trading Stocks & Options” has really opened my eyes to the possibilities of generating and growing your own wealth. His hands-on, step-by-step approach to teaching is very effective and concise. No-nonsense or flashy graphics, Roland makes sure you understand all the fundamentals before showing you how to make money, which is the bottom line.
The knowledge I have gained from Roland’s course is absolutely invaluable. It is really up to you to apply that knowledge, and if you are really interested in taking control of your wealth, let me tell you, the possibilities are really exciting! By following Roland’s systematic approach, I bought 5 call options on Apple shares and within 5 days I had already made a profit of USD1,600 (RM5,920) which more than covered the course fees! You will not regret taking this course. The only thing you will regret is not starting earlier.”
Kane Chong, Advertising Executive, KL, 2006
“I find the course conducted by Mr. Roland Lee informative and useful. It was presented in a very systematic way and there were no ‘empty promises’. It was just a simple but yet effective message – ‘He’s not there to give you the fishes, he’s there to teach you how to fish, if you care to learn’. In addition, there will be further get together after the course so that investors who have a common objective can share their experiences and hopefully learn from one another.
I would recommend any potential investor to attend this course as this will be your first step towards a lifetime of profitable investments! During the course and over a 10-day trading period using options, with a trading capital of US$2,400, I obtained a US$1,100 profit.”
Lim Jit Choong, Corporate Executive, KL, 2006
I had attended the 1-week CFP challenge status course conducted by Roland Lee previously. I am very impressed by his knowledge in the investment field and his way of knowledge-sharing lessons. The one-week course was too short for me to learn more things from him. As a result, I have also attended his workshop on trading in Stocks & Options. This workshop has opened up my eyes on stock investment. In conclusion, he is a very generous and practical teacher in terms of knowledge sharing.”
Leong Quee Sing, Chartered Accountant, Ipoh, 2006
Mr. Roland Lee is a very friendly and helpful lecturer. He always shares his valuable knowledge and skillful experiences that enable us have a thorough understanding throughout the course. He helped us put theory into practice while making lessons so easy to understand. I enjoyed attending his classes.”
May Low, Unit Trust Representative, Ipoh, 2006
“ I have achieved tremendous results from the options trading workshop conducted by Roland in late October 2006. I attribute my success to Roland who has been kind enough to share his skills and knowledge through such a workshop. His teaching style is easy to follow and he has great rapport with his workshop participants. In March 2007, I earned US$4,000 by applying the methodology learnt from the workshop. I repeated the success in April 2007 with a US$9,500 gain. I therefore strongly encourage those who have a desire to earn their own income to take up the challenge by participating in Roland’s trading workshop.”
Yeap Ai Har, Certified Financial Planner, Kuala Lumpur , 2007
“ I have attended Roland’s InvestSmart trading course and have gained valuable insight into this type of trading. After the seminar, I have used virtual trading in options and have so far produced reasonably profitable result. I strongly believe that it is possible for students like me to acquire the investment skills if we strictly follow the discipline laid down by Roland in his course.”
Thomas Choong, Chartered Accountant, Ipoh, 2007

I am riding on Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) now. Hope to make a few hundred bucks. The reported earning estimates sound good. Today is their conference call. Now I believe you, you taught me to ‘fish’.”

He simplifies some of the more technical aspects to make them easily understood by students. His concept and teaching methodologies are also very concise and straight to the point. With his knowledge and experience, I believe students who attend his workshops will benefit tremendously and will be able to make full use of the knowledge gained and apply them in real life.”
