Subscribed to M. Weiss previously promoted Million $ Portfolio under supervision of hyped up “worldstar” Klaus Vogt.He was described as the worlds only person to which Martin entrusted 1 Mio $ of his own money. The performance of the suggested investments were less than glamerous to say it in a nice manner. I paid approx. $ 2300.00 for the “privilege” to participate on a six month’s trial basis. After some 3 months I requested a full refund and received part thereof back. Never heard of Klaus Vogt again. It’s easy to drop someone overseas when your own money is in jeopardy.
Now we have guru Monty doing the same. Apparently the new scheme doesn’t penn out to be as successful as Martin hoped for, hence the profuse apology of a breakdown of his phone system and offer to extend the same trap.
I much prefer to read your neutral comments, afterall I am responsible to participate or not.
Thanks for your input and guidance.

All,

This is another hyped up, expenseive subscription, no name Weiss money manager with no background other than what Martin says. Martin has no credibility anymore, just look at all of his other subscription reviews on this site. I invested in 4 premium subscriptions and all of them lost me a ton of money!!! He puts up $1M and makes 2x to 5x in subscription base so he doesn’t lose. Also, he has closed the money machine (currency), MCP, and his wave one forever like this one. Within 6 months they all re-opened becuase of the huge redemption of people wanting to get out of the subsription as they were taking a beating. Weiss and group are a bunch of garbage and will destroy your wealth. Just see the reviews under the Million Dollar Contrairian Portfolio, Safe Money, ETF Crisis,etc.. for all of the reviews.

Weiss placed $1,000,000 of his own money in a portfolio led by Klaus Vogt. While the information and insight were helpful, informative and educational, Klaus’ investment advice was not and reduced Martin’s portfolio to approximately $950,000.00 by March 2010. Since March 9th, the S&P 500 has climbed 58.09% or 418 points. The DJIA has climbed 59.48% or 3942 points. The NASDAQ Composite Index has climbed 80.46% or 1041.03 points. Bottom line, Martin’s MDCP lost 5% at a time when the market grew 59%.

Too early to assess MRGP, but in case anyone is interested, thus far the positions are either unfilled (waiting for dips) or slightly down. Monty, as expected, is doing a good job explaining his moves. So did Claus, of course. I’m hoping that Monty is more in touch than Claus with what the mkt *is* doing, while also considering what it *will* do.

Rush Rush get in before it closes – deadlines all gone – you are now an exclusive member “BUT: the latest thing from Weiss is membership of the “Inner Circle” where you get acces to all the eclusive clubs that people have paid speceial membership fees for special advise – and the cost is …..click martins box to find out – Really this man is verging on the ridiculous – the name of the game for Martin is that old schemsters trade – symbol ” OPM” ( Other people’s Money) – Please Beware –

Fool that I am, I am shorting gold per Monty’s instructions. Unfilled positions continue to rise (pull-back never happened), filled positions continue to fall to compound the misery. Moderate money-loser so far. 20/20 hindsight: best to paper-trade this service for a few weeks and then quit. Monty seems to have caught a bad case of the dreaded Weiss disease, that is, 95% of picks lose money. But it’s early in the game… ;-(

20/20 foresight: best to paper-trade ANY NEW service (from ANYONE) for a few MONTHS and then quit or NOT depending on how THE BOTTOM LINE positively adds up (or NOT). 😀

Update: The RGP has recently blasted into the green, thus transforming it from the Slow Leak Portfolio to the Tiny Green Shoot Portfolio. It now sits (after what, 6 weeks or so?) at a net (and as Travis would prob. say, “nosebleed”) +0.22%. While we can confidently say that “rapid growth” has thus far eluded the portfolio, it is best to think positively about this Weiss service: it could be far worse.

dist,
It’s a Weiss’ service so you won’t have to wait very long before it become the “Million Dollar Rapid Loss Portfolio.” The only green you’ll see with this subscription service is the mold on the mis-timed investments.

Dear Sir:I never subscribed to this particular service of Mr.Weiss but I did to his newsletter published together with Larry Edelson.He is the biggest charlatan I ever heard of.How can you otherwise define an analyst who calls silver at 4 dollars a dead duck?Who keeps saying so even when silver goes up,”because it just goes up reflecting gold”?The amount of losses he caused to investors who followed his advice is simply horrendous.He should be sued.I wonder if these charlatans bet against themselves when things go against their expectations.If so they should be put in jail.Regards Giuliano Gatta

I have been subscribed since the beginning, carefully evaluating the picks and the rationale behind them. So far, so good. Hopefully I can update my ratings as time goes on, since the service is very new.

Some highlights:
– As of today, the portfolio is up roughly 1% in 1.5 months
– Actual performance is somewhat better, since they wait 48 hours after announcing their picks until they actually make the picks
– Mr. Agarwal was out of the S&P a day or two before the 1000 point “flash crash”
– His recent pick is up 10% in 2-3 days
– He called the recent Euro issues very well
– His commentary and insights are very thorough and insightful, and he answers many, many questions that people submit to the website.
– He keeps it simple – using ETFs with varying degrees of leverage
– His perspective is complete (all asset classes) and global
– Only negative – he missed the gold swing up (therefore a 3 on performance and not a 4)

Mr. Agarwal has successfully fun hedge funds. His claimed performance is quite high. Although I have not been able to independently verify those claims, I have not seen a reason yet to doubt them. Bottom line – if a hedge fund manager offers to give you investment advice and if you believe he is giving you a serious effort (which he is), then you have to ask what that’s worth to you. The yearly fee is a very small percentage of our retirement savings and therefore I’m giving it a try. As noted in a recent email, you can decide whether or not you want someone like Mr. Agarwal giving you advice (based on his experience in the Asian crash of 97/98, the crash of 00/01 and 08/09) or if you want to go it alone or with some other service. If he gets us through this year with his stated goals of growing wealth under any market conditions, he’ll be 5 stars across the board.

For my information, if anyone is aware of other services like this that cover all asset classes and have a global perspective, I would love to hear about it because I’m not aware of any.

I can’t speak to the issues noted here by others with Weiss and the Foundation. What I will say is that this service is *clearly* driven by Mr. Agarwal and his analysis, with input from the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, and not the other way around. I will continue to base my evaluation on the facts on the ground, and I welcome any other comments that do the same.

Well Norge, looks like it’s time to update your reviews of yet another pig-poor Weiss service. We are down down down and going lower with this lot. I canceled my subscription today.

The only current holding is now in the red, but the portfolio is still slightly in the green–0.65%. If the dollar strengthens, that green will turn red in a hurry. And if the current uptick in nat.gas is only a head-fake, things will get redder still. Monty A. has done well in a couple of picks, but the over-all % is what matters. In that regard, so far not so good vs. the Weiss hype (as always), although just breaking even is rare for a Weiss service, let alone being ahead. I suspect I will cancel, as there would have to be a substantial improvement in performance just to offset the cost of the service.

First thing about investing or trading….or services for either: Don’t Buy. Do Your Own DD, first, always. Some of the cycle concepts Weiss et al. postulates are interesting, whether they can call the “technically” best, or even optimal Entry is another story. If you check out the some what hyped and teleprompted video, the dollar cycle is said to be choppy and volatile; therefore any dollar denominated asset will be as well. So expect short term heat and draw down. Legging in and out of positions is an ideal strategy. And, since the premise is cycle trading…then also look to other technical theorists who use cycles especially in regards to “technical trading” like Prechter, another gloom doomer, a nice sentiment fit. However, ultimately you should just look at the last ’08 liquidity/credit crisis we just had and evaluate what happened to almost every asset class and where the money flowed. Massive over leveraged liquidation, everything sold, even gold! What was the safe haven? The Dollar and the Yen. Just check your charts. There’s less leverage in the system now, so maybe it will be a more orderly and directed auction? Don’t count on it, or what anyone tells you, that includes me! Guess its up to you and your chart.

Peterg, Monty A is not a hard-core cycle-boy (I suspect he initially had to appear to use them to a degree since Weiss just paid a bundle for access to the cycles data); he has just made it clear that he is not relying on cycles data for his picks–he is instead using tech. analysis and fundamentals. IMO he’s doing a better job than any other Weiss guru I am familiar with. If the price of the subscription were a tenth what it is, I’d stay with it just for his takes on the mkt and the occasional pick (I’m not in any of them at the moment).

I was a charter subscriber and canceled after three months due to lower than expected returns. I did make a small profit but not enough to continue with the service. Considering I’ve lost money on every other Weiss service, I was very glad Monty seems to at least follow good money management practices and never lets losses get out of control (unlike the Contrarian Portfolio!)

Out of curiosity I just contacted customer service to see what the current overall return for the portfolio is and it’s up .57% since inception. Not exactly rapid growth. And definitely not worth the subscription price!

I canceled my subscription after the first 90 days. They refunded my money with no hassle. I did make some money but not enough to justify the subscription price. As of today, the portfolio has a .57% gain since inception.

That’s not exactly my definition of “rapid growth.”

I charted with both m.d.c.p.an m.d.r.g.p. After over a yr. of losses with Klass an his line in the sand stop losses; I think he tried but I had enough torture! So switched to the new r.p.g. with Monty his calls are better an he watches the losses closely. Giving it till the end of the yr. Up about 1% but seems almost all of Weiss portfolios are expensive losers with good service, lots of info, mostly neg. world famous investor’s! RIGHT! Always a new angle or portfolio every month! My advice save your money! good luck!
