6 Subscriber Reviews of Leeb’s Income Performance Letter
Review by Mary Ann, March 27, 2009
I am a subscriber to the Income Performance Letter. I am a fan of Stephen Leeb even though he sends out way too many teasers. How these guys can look themselves in the mirror after approving those teasers is beyond me.
I have taken various Stephen Leeb letters in past years, and give him pretty high marks. You have to realize, that like many of the others, he sounds like a perma-bull and should take anything that is said in any of these letters as a starting place for your own research. So far, I have done better with Leeb’s advice than with the advice from others.
As a dividend and income investor, I found his picks and advice in the Income Performance Letter to be a lot more sound than others I have subscribed to.

I subscribed to Dr. Stephen Leeb’s “Income Performance Report” Newsletter back in March 2009. As part of the subscription offer, I was supposed to get Dr. Leeb’s book, “Game Over: How You Can Prosper in a Shattered Economy,” published by Business Plus, a division of the Hachette Book Group. I have called IPR customer service several times. They claim they sent the book and it was not returned. I never received the book. The customer service supervisor was going to call me, but she never did. I feel like I’ve been had. The book was a big incentive for me to buy the subscription. Additionally, the number of emails I receive every day from Dr.Leeb is a nuisance. Buyer Beware!

An interesting and relatively cheap newsletter with a focus on “income & growth” stocks.
Be aware that a lot of stocks are coming from… The Complete Investor (from Leeb’s team).
Same remarks on their buy/sell instructions: do your own technical and fundamental anlysis before (blindly) following…
Review by 2008 Subscriber, November 25, 2009
I was a subscriber to this newsletter in 2008 and all of his
picks lost lots of money that time, so I canceled it in a
few months. He was wrong about calling a bottom in
financials/housing in 2008.

I have been a off and on subscriber to Leeb’s investing letters for well over 10 years. I have received some good investing ideas and some that were so/so.
Leeb has lost me for good this time. His renewal teaser was renew and receive an uncirculated silver dollar. No big deal either way except no silver dollar. I renewed 11-17 and have called 3 times receiving a fresh promise each time. The principle of the deal has kicked in an I am through. Petty? perhaps but you should keep your promises.
Review by Dale Kroppmanns, February 17, 2010
I have subscribed to CompleteInvestor.com. There was a promise of getting the book “Game Over” by Stephen Leeb. I have called 3 times and they have said it has been shipped and they will “check into it”. I am in Canada so I wonder if they don’t want to pay the shipping although nothing was mentioned about not shipping outside of the US. They are always trying to up-sell to more expensive subscriptions. Reading here that others didn’t get the book or the silver coins make me very leary about the organization. I have considered subscribing to the more expensive newsletters but wonder if it would only be much of the same info I am getting now…and the lack of faith doesn’t help. I just received a copy of the book from my local library so they can keep their book. Beware.
