He claimed to have an 80% successful trading record, which his portfolio results seemed to support. I crunched the numbers for his 2007 trading results and saw that, if I'd put in money when his recommended trades were consistently losing money (in about February), even with 4-5 losing trades, his advice still would have taken $20,000 down to about $11k and back up to about $54k. Even with his career batting average, so to speak, down to closer to 78%, I took the plunge. I paid $1750, if memory serves, for two years of Kerr's trading advice from Agora Publishing. He left Agora at that time, so I re-subscribed for a year, for almost $1000/yr. from his new service. Finally got to trading on auto trade with one of his recommended brokers in September of 2008, and , as of my last conversation with my contact at the brokerage, have lost money on EVERY TRADE since then, except an orange juice trade, on which I could have doubled the $800 buy- in, but for a glitch in timely communication with the broker.(They neede a fax from me, because they had changed names because of some kind of restructuring. During this time Kevin Kerr also changed publishers yet again, now self-publishing, requiring subscription changes all over again, for those still wanting to follow his advice. So much for simply auto trading his recommendations). So, basically, Mr. Kerr can make money in a rising market, but his decades of experience had taken my $24k down to about $9k from September '08 to July '09, at which time I simply stopped any and all trading. When I have resumed breathing, I'll fax the broker about closing out that account. I tracked Kevin Kerr’s trading results when they were available online, starting in about December 2005.

Is that what you mean to say more than a year after you left? In perusing your “sample” issue (with disclaimers that seem to indicate that you're merely kidding about the specific trades you list there) you list having bought TSO on May 14, 208 at 24.34, holding and recommending continuing to hold at a price of 19.37. I'm guessing this “issue” was done in July 2008. Tell us, did you actually do that trade and are you still holding TSO? Finally, do you publish anywhere on your website a historic list of actual closed trades so that folks can objectively consider what they may be getting if they hook up with you? Perhaps you could direct us to that? Hi Kevin, not to be a hard ass but you say you left Agora behind in August 2008 yet your website still says this:

I have never seen this site before now. I thank all of you who left nice comments and also bad. I will let you know for the record that I resigned from Agora after this marketing came out, I was adamantly against it. I HATE THIS KIND of marketing. I held my nose for much of it but never wrote any of it, and as my readers know, i often was critical of it even when Agora urged me not to be. I left in August of 2008 and got hooked up with another scummy publisher, then finally broke away from that and am self publishing, the way it should be. www.kerrcommoditieswatch.com I have been contacted by the CFTC and SEC, NFA and others to testify against Agora and provide information about their practices and I am more then willing to help. Steve Sarnoff, Porter Stansberry and others are absolutely absurd liars in my opinion. Unfortunately, excellent editors and traders like Chris Mayer and Byron King are wrapped up in the Agora marketing animal like I was. I hope they get out before they all go to jail.
