The Cash Teacher

The Cash Teacher – Friend or Foe?

Our Detailed Analysis into this mystery…

There has been a lot of talk about a Penny Stocks trader who goes by the pseudonym ‘The Cash Teacher’

Having not managed to find this person’s real name, it’s already starting to look kind of shady. What kind of successful investor and penny stocks trades hides his true name?

So, after that little red flag, I decided to look a little deeper. I visited Cash Teacher’s website, and came across a homepage that had vast amounts of different styles of texts, colours, with videos, pictures, contact forms, and newsletter submission forms dotted in between the chaotic mess of text. My eyes feeling destroyed, I decided to escape the craziness of the homepage, and dig deeper into the website itself. Here, I found more of the same errors, and a seemingly large disregard for any professional look for the website. You’d have thought trying to attract customers using a well-designed, high quality website would have been a top priority of someone who is trying to get people to sign up to newsletters, and buy products and services from him right?

Anyway, now let’s actually talk about the content of the website. I headed over to the ‘About Us’ page, where I delved deeper into what the Cash Teacher was all about. Here is what I found:

 

• Stocks
• Penny Stocks
• Credit Cards
• Credit Scores
• Bankruptcy
• Make Money Online
• My Stock Portfolio
• Swagbucks

 

So, this list, taken from the site itself discusses what The Cash Teacher actually offers. Stock Alerts, Penny Stocks, Credit Cards, Credit Scores, etc.

I think it all looks a little bit fishy. This person, whoever he is, has a very wide range of services to offer. People who tend to diversify and have a large amount of services to offer, usually turn out to be the ‘Jack of all trades, Master of none’.

I decided from here, to pick one of these sections, that the Cash Teacher apparently excelled in, and took an even deeper look. I decide to go with the heading ‘Credit Cards’, thinking that everyone has a decent knowledge of Credit Cards (it’s like shooting yourself in the foot if you don’t know much about these). As I read through the page, all the text and the way that the page tries to sell itself all seems quite legit, and dare I say it, well worded. However, as I scrolled down the page, I came across a link, not even a quarter of the way through, that lead to what I can only imagine is an affiliate, or product owner that has paid the Cash Teacher to host this link on his site, netting him extra profits, and giving Cash Teacher a little bit of extra fast cash on the side. How much high interest he got out of these links, I don’t know.
Giving him the benefit of the doubt, I continued down the page, where I came across statistics from 2008 and 2009 of the biggest general best credit card companies in the US of A, based simply on debt statistics from the consumers and holders of the credit cards. Now, my first issue with this was the dates of the stats. Why would someone, trying to sell his services, NOT update the information on his website, and leave 2-3 year old statistics on one of his major, and likely most viewed pages? The second issue was the statistics are based on very loose criteria, meaning they might not be representative of what the Cash Teacher is actually trying to convey using those stats.

As I carried on further down the same page, the writing really started to deteriorate (or maybe I was just too optimistic to begin with), and became very incoherent, and just seemed to be filler for the site. Here’s an example of what I mean:

“First thing is first.  There are a ton of credit cards out there and if you are smart, you will take advantage of that in all the aspects of your life.”

Take advantage of that in all the aspects of your life? Seriously? None of it seems to make sense to me, and how exactly do you take advantage of a credit card in all aspects of life? Let me know if you find out what the heck this actually means.

Praying that the torture of reading this would end soon, I very quickly came across another companies link (an affiliate link I supposed) to an online credit checking website. I clicked the link to have a look at what exactly the site consisted of, and whether the quality was as poor as The Cash Teacher’s. The site seemed to look very good with a 7 day free trial, but then I caught the small-print near-by which stated that after this trial, the website began charging your card automatically, unless you went through a lengthy process of unsubscribing from it! Bearing in mind that this was only for simply credit checking!($19.99 per month!), I was shocked at the deviousness of the site.
Still, I kept hope in the Cash Teacher that he would provide some kind of value in his content.

I browsed his website for a while longer, looking into all the different sections his website had to offer, and came across more shocking results. Some pages, contained little more than a paragraph, and a contact form to sign up to his newsletter with; and that is all the website really seems to consist of in its entirety.

Now that I had had a good look at the website, and given some thorough thought to the content, I began to look at what this man actually had to offer. Let’s put it this way; it wasn’t very much.

On one side of every page on his site, the Cash Teacher has handily provided us with a world market watch, which allows us to view what’s happening in live real-time in the stock markets. This is about as far as the value of this website stretches. Every page is filled with affiliate links to other sites selling products that are meant to either save you vast amounts of money, or to make you ridiculous sums. I was surprised to find that a significant amount of the pages actually didn’t contain any useful information on any subject in particular.

So to sum up, we have random poor quality content, plenty of affiliate links, and a hundred and one forms to sign up to the Cash Teacher’s newsletter.

After a disappointing look around the website, I noticed that he provided a blog, for even MORE poor quality content, no doubt. So I headed over to check it out, and noticed instantly that a post hadn’t been made since about 2009!

 

What the hell is this guy doing??

 

Has he just taken a 2 year break from working? Who knows, but to keep it short and sweet about the blog, it was about as useful as the original website. The blog posts were weak, poorly written, and provided no real value. It got even more interesting after I tried to re-access the website and blog at a later date. By more interesting, I mean it took about 5 minutes just to load them! Whatever host this guys with, he should definitely think about changing it.
Now, all that considered, we could give him by the benefit of the doubt by believing (naively, mind) that he just can’t write website content very well, and that what he actually has to offer. However, I came across a few very angry reviews of the services that this man offers.

I’ll choose one website specifically that is written by a rival penny stocks trader, to give you an idea of just how The Cash Teacher is actually viewed by people. Bear in mind that this is just one of many reviews of the Cash Teacher.

So, looking at the link above, I decided to have a quick read through and see what the general consensus was about this mysterious man.

Instantly, we see the first four bolded sub-titles, all scathing reviews:

 

So, not a good start to the review. This article goes on to talk further about the Cash Teacher, talking in more depth about the above four points, and how he recommends Ameritrade, apparently one of the worst online brokers known to date.
He then goes on to talk about all the scams that The Cash Teacher seems to be involved in. Apparently, according to this review, he tries to get you to sign up to some form of mobile phone advertising, which then floods your phone with advertisements from various different sources (most likely companies paying him to do so).
The worst part of the article review is the accusation that the Cash Teacher promotes and sells his OWN penny stocks! If this is true, it’s shocking, and will create a very big dent in the Cash Teacher’s reputation.

I scoured the internet and found similar reviews, all accusing him of one scam or another, all with the similar vein that he attempts to make money off of the people that sign up to his newsletters. However, on his blog I did notice that he had people commenting, and talking normally, asking him for advice, to which he promptly replied with sound advice. It seemed that there was a legit face behind this Cash Teacher pseudonym that actually did have some good advice to offer about making not just fast cash, but also how to build it slowly.

All in all, it all seems very confusing to the people looking to sign up the newsletter and get involved with this man’s dealings with penny stocks and other services. Questions seem to be flying around the internet:

“Is this man actually a scam artist?”

“Is it just jealous rival penny stock traders trying to tarnish this guy’s image?”

Personally, based on my review of the quality of his website and blog, I would not feel comfortable receiving advice and a guide from this guy. If his website reflects his passion, attitude and commitment to the trade, then it doesn’t make me feel very secure about the advice, guide and support I’m going to be getting from this guy.
However, a few people seem to have gotten some help from this guy, so he might not be as bad as he actually appears to be. Perhaps he is so busy helping people that he honestly doesn’t have the time or the fund to update and improve his site?

In conclusion, I believe it’s up to each and every reader to make up his or her own mind. Money and time are precious commodities, and I would advise people not to throw them away lightly, and to carefully consider what they’re trying to achieve by spending them on certain things. I personally wouldn’t recommend using the services provided by cash teacher as an top income earner, by any stock broker.

Now, it’s time for your views. What do you think about the Cash Teacher? Is he a good guy at heart, but just getting a bad rap by others? Or is he the sneaky, devious scam artist he is accused of being?
