This email/phone/fax alert service provides specific etf options trades several times weekly. I have participated in the service (my cost $999/yr) for 2 months now. I have made money - 16%. I have an assigned agent who contacts me and I can contact him anytime I wish. However, on my own etf option picks (FAS and GLD) I have made far more money than have the Leeb picks, by a factor of 10 to 1. And it leaves me wondering, why am I paying for a service when my own picks are coming up better than theirs?

I did not subscribe to this service, but I did evaluate it. His staff sent me the history of trades. It made a bunch of money in 2007 and lost a bunch of money in 2008. His overall win/loss ratio was significantly less than 50% in 2008. There were a surprising number of call options for a market that was clearly trending down. This reflects his opinion that commodities are always about to blast off and that resource scarcity with inflation is the nature of our new world.

the commodity crash clearly caught him by surprise. Recently he began using a different set of technical indicators so I can’t say how his recent performance has been in this service.

Since I did not actually subscribe, just analyzed his past performance, I did not assign any star rating.

I too have also bought into this subscription,
his recommendations have made me money.
But I have used his plays differently than his recommendations. He likes to use a lot of options in his trades, and this is great it makes money quickly. But I usually get out when the action starts to move up at a quick pace and take my profit. I have kept track of his sales signals and although many of them make money, I have made more getting in and out at the dips and peaks. He also likes to bet on the economy which I have seen to completely fail. I have made my money back, but it would’ve been a lot less if I waited strictly by his rules. Will I purchase the service again next year, no.
This service might be of use to somebody who panics when they see their options fall quickly. As options can be wiped out in a day, and in two days later double.
