All your comments have been really helpful, so thank you all. I singed up for Marin’s free email subscription, where his is continuously sends out lengthy emails on joining his research service; hard sales pitch at work here. I’m always weary when someone sends these types of emails, because if their advice is as good as they are pitching, why the hard sales tactic? Especially when he continuously points out his high percent gainers, which I believe feeds into our FOMO tendencies, another clever ‘foot in the door’ technique. He really gives you the impression that it’s easy to get rich through his picks, and there never is a get rich scheme out there that works. And if he’s made millions on his own research, why the exorbitant yearly subscription charges?
Anyone have an idea of what Video Game Company he is talking about on his recent emails? A company that is buying out/consolidating several types of video game companies. Might be a good bet since entire market is down.
How were his picks for the past few weeks during the covid19? The thing I get thrown off is his letters are super long with bold, underline, and different sizings. It’s almost as if he’s running an informercial. Has his choices been accurate? If he’s that good how come he doesn’t manage a multi-billion dollar fund?
A lot of his picks from March and April are up significantly. Couple of doubles (one paying a huge dividend), a silver stock his portfolio just missed in a buy reocmmendation but that i bought anyway (up almost triple on that). His gold picks have knocked it out of the park the past few months. Most recent junior gold stock bought at $1 and it hit $3.50. Nice score. His framework is usually spot on if you’re patient (most people aren’t and they likely put every dollar they have into a single pick – recipe for disaster). He does have a few misses (who doesn’t), but his winners outweigh his losers. Not to mention he brings some very exclusive private placement opportunities you’d pay thousands for elsewhere.
Obviously his picks were up in June 2020. It was the largest QE period in history. Everything was up!! It’s not 2023 and I’ve lost huge buy following his buy in advice on multiple stocks
Stockgumshoe wont post anything negative about katusa. Why is that? Since there are already negative posts about him…
Posts from new folks are sometimes held for moderation, mostly just to keep spamming limited — we do moderate for language and threatening commentary, but do not moderate for positivity or negativity of comments.
This website showcases an extraordinary amount of Stansberry/Agora/Casey etcetc related newsletters, and leaves out lots of other, high profile newsletters which don’t scam the average retired retail investor. Why would that be?
If you mean our editorial coverage, we cover what people are asking about, for the most part (and I definitely wouldn’t use the world “showcase”). Sometimes that means we cover a lot of the Marketwise newsletters (Stansberry/Agora/Bonner/Casey/Palm Beach/Investorplace/etc.), sometimes learn more toward the Motley Fool or Angel or Banyan Hill or others, in retrospect (we don’t plan in advance which letters or publishers we cover, that depends on what ads are being pushed at that time), but we’re less likely to cover newsletters that don’t push a lot of marketing hype or claim knowledge of a fantastic and secret investment idea, because our first goal is to short-circuit that marketing hype and help people come to an independent assessment of the value of those teased investments.
If you mean the reviews that readers share of various newsletters, we’re happy to host reviews of any letter, but it’s true that we don’t know about a lot of less-marketed newsletters. It’s easy now to build a letter without a major publisher, so I’m sure we’re missing many, feel free to suggest any you know of, high profile or not, and we can add those to the database. Thanks!
Agree. Please take a look at Exploration Insights from Joe Mazumdar. Other examples are Gwen Preston, Eric Coffin. They are all into the resource sector though
Not worth the investment unless you’re an accredited investor? Would need an accredited investor to confirm. The other comments are correct regarding sales pitch, investment decisions are geared towards accredited investors and reports are unnecessarily lengthy. Not hard for someone to make picks after COVID19 to be correct, I outperformed him with little experience. There are much better free alternatives – Lyn Alden is highly recommended.
I’ve been a member since Marin started his newsletter. My experience has been good and I am very satisfied with Katusa Research. My advice based on my own experience:
1.) Do not cherry pick! I missed out on some great opportunities because of point 2.
2.) Get a full service broker like SPROTT that can do trades on the smaller Canadian exchanges as well as London or Australia
3.) Be in it with a minimum of 5 if not 10 year time frame so you most likely will get good returns
