Hey you. Market got ya in a bit of a funk? Not turning out numbers like this guy? Tony Robbins is here to help. Please, don’t scoff– Anthony has been coaching “one of the top ten financial traders in the history of the world,” and in April 2008, took the guy and a bunch of his industry pals to Dubai and said, “Listen you guys, I always bring you the best, I try to give you an advantage on things, in advance if I know they’re coming. THE FINANCIAL WORLD IS ABOUT TO CHANGE RADICALLY, IN LEVELS YOU CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE.” I can’t tell you when, but it’s coming real quick. Sometime in the next 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 months. And we spent three days, where we brought in experts, and I painted a picture of how they can protect themselves. A lot of people were disturbed that weekend but the ones that listened made some very smart moves, which saved them hundreds of thousands of dollars and in some case millions of dollars.” You do the math.

    April 2008? A month after Bear went down for good?

    What an incredible call! That’s an almost Matt Taibbi level of prescience.

    I banged a chick who works for him. Apparently he’s in love with himself, his wife’s a bitch, and they’re cheap as hell. Big Surprise.

    @26 I still can’t believe UBS passed on his application.

    @21 You really think Calouste Gulbenkian belongs in that list? I think you’ve got to hand it to a guy who makes a gazillion dollars *legally* controlling the entire oil industry of a country he never set foot in… and has a doctor officially prescribe that he has at least one 18 year old mistress at all times.

    Incredible! When the economy is down in the dumps and everyone is suffering, these bottom feeders come out in droves.

    Check out how many ripoff commercials are out there for “credit restructuring” or “credit repair”.

    The weird thing is that CNBC has a bunch of these ripoff infomercials in the morning and weekend hours.

    Robbins and these rats deserve to be hanged by the balls.

    On a related note, I was on http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ and they are pushing this guy over there (big-time), as some sort of life coach.

    When I posted a negative comment (no profanity) it was deleted. The other readers tried to complain about it and their comments were also erased.

    So, this guy (Robbins) is putting out some serious dough to stay in the news.

    What an asshole.

    @31- How do you know that “the other readers tried to complain” and had their comments erased?

    #KeepItFunnyWeAlreadyKnowHesAnAssclown

  33. Posted by GKH | August 11, 2010 at 7:09 PM

    @32 Because I would see a comment like: “Hey what the hell, my last comment was deleted. Why is HuffPost so heavy handed with this story?”

    Or: “Hey HuffPost this guy is a loser. Why are you pushing him. He’s a fake”.

    Then the comment would stay on for approx 5 mins and then disappear.

    Don’t believe me? See for yourself. Just look at the comments on the Robbins story: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/28/tony-robbins-breakthrough_n_661795.html

    @32: See? I’m not just making things up.

    I was surprised at HuffPost for pushing this guy. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at anything anymore.

    I cant tell you when but its coming and I cant tell you what but it really really is predictable- thats all I can say oh yeah- and its gonna happen this is it and when the sun rises everything will change and then not change so remember that key point. You dont have to listen to me but if you do you will surely listen in a unique way there will be tweeting and that future of certainty will happen like it did in 2007,2009 and then some.

    It seems that Robbins is talking about Paul Tudor Jones. Paul is a great trader and humanitarian. However if it is Tudor, then Robbins is lying when he says that Tudor made money in ’08. His firm lost over 20% and was forced to put up gates to stem the tide of redemptions. (notwhithstanding that Mr. Jones made money on teh funds he personally managed but that did not represent the performance of the fund)

    This guy is a marketing engine. Full of complete sh1t and can spin it into a yummy mush that retail american just loves to eat. Does his secretary, trades in his wife for a yonger version and then spins it as “The Love Project”. Brilliant! He’s a marketing engine. And now he called the down-turn. Brilliant! Thank God for Mr. Robbins, he saved us. And he is almost as smart as that other marketing engine, Mr. Global Warming – Al Gore, the inventor of the Internet and savior of teh planet.

    @36 Tudor BVI made money every year save 2008 (they lost -4.9). He is just making shit up.

    Tony Robbins is God.  He can do anything – finances/fitness/personal relationships – you name it, Tony Robbins has the answer.  

    From the ‘power tie’ persona of the 80′s & 90′s, to the Gen-X ‘look’ of the 2000′s, to the ubiquitous goatee-and-black-attire of the present day fashion-dynamic, Tony Robbins – like the polished Chameleon, is there with the always right answers at always the right time…

    Give the man credit.  He is an amazing presence and a testament to the persuasion and captivation abilities of the human psyche…
