Ask HN for Help: TV infomercial for Better Trades risks damaging society - please help..

I just saw an infomercial for Better Trades and it made me feel nauseous and somewhat angry. It was a 30 (or 60) minute paid-programming on the CWBayArea channel (cable 12). It's basically a company that encourages consumers to take up day trading of stocks. They charge for various seminars, courses, software, all adding upto around $10,000. You can read about them here:

I know that I ought to use this post to explain what I think they're doing wrong, but I feel so emotionally drained by the nausea that I can't even start. That's very unusual for me. Here's how I'm asking you TO HELP:

If you know anyone who you think might be lured into this, please take the time to talk to them about it, and give them your advice.

I'm not telling you what advice to give - each to his own opinion. I'm just relying on my belief that this community is very intelligent, so net-net you giving advice will be good for the community. Thanks for helping.
