I just read a come on for 1,390% profit every 10days. Last year they closed out over 137 averaging one every 10 days. If you would have $10,000 on each trade… let’s see that sounds like a huge amount of money for so many positions. That right there shakes my confidence.
I couldn’t agree with you more! When an opportunity sounds to good to be true; well we all know the answer to that one, don’t we! Maybe someone that took the bait can confirm?
I was one of the fish. Eight trades later no winners, all losers. my only satisfaction was I bet small. How can we stop these scams?
I think I’d have better luck in Marijuana stock. Canada is now recreational use and many states are passing law to legalize it. There,’s also money to be made in what a grower needs; lighting, land supplies etc. I almost got sucked in too. He also said that book wasn’t for sale. I’m out before I get in.
I have been getting his free emails for a couple months. My friend has actually paid to the $2,500 yearly membership. I have been getting some info from my friend to test the legitness of this guy. So far I have done 3 of his recommended trades and all 3 have profited in 100% gain or more. That being said, my friend has done about 10 of his trades and has lost everything on 2 or 3. Right now he just reccommended a put call for Aug 21 at a strike price of $28 for DHI. So far I’m at… Read more »
*a put option for Aug 21
*his advertising LOOKS like a scam
Thank you for your apparent honest assessment. Please keep us posted on the outcome,
So this is about a year old, anything new to report?
Ive placed 16 trades with Tom and only 3 are in the money,Now im sitting on 5 trades and all 5 are almost down 100%.
Thanks Sharon for summing it. Thanks to Stock Gumshoe for posting about this subject and user feedback.
The only trades that have made money where trades based on earning apple ,priceline, and 1 trade one sune.
Been with Tom service 3 months today and the service generates many lossers and few winners. Im out when the rest of his picks expire wortless. Better luck with a dartboard.
@Sharon, I would like to know your honest opinion on buying the Tom’s subscription. Thanks in advance.
Doesn’t Trademiner do exactly the same thing he’s claiming to do? Just look for certain patterns where stocks have increased or decreased over the same period for 10-15 years? Not endorsing Trademiner, just trying to see what makes his idea so supposedly “revolutionary”….
i checked out that software. I think I’ll purchase it, it’s cheap. The strategy I’ll do is see which swing trades are trending this month put them on a watch list then get a second opinion (1800$ for calendar alert) and if they are recommending the same option then heck why not. But ya, blindly following someone’s opinion without doing your own analysis is wrong, they probably are using a similar tool like this and what the fee you are paying for tom’s calendar is a professional opinion. At least this way if you lose money you don’t feel as… Read more »
That’s the same one. I got it a few years back for some teaser rate of like $99 I think. It’s not a bad program, but I feel that it would be difficult to make a viable strategy on a purely quantitative basis, even if it might be a useful assistant for an existing trading strategy. Reason being, to purchase the amount of positions you would need to purchase in a given month to be relatively well diversified from single position risk, you need to have an immensely large account to minimize the adverse effects of commissions. Buying and selling… Read more »
I just watched Gentile’s lengthy video presentation.
He spends a great deal of time presenting the profits you COULD have made by cherry-picking positions from many that appear available on his presentation screens.
What he does not tell you is whether or not these fabulous gains resulted from his two recommended positions each week, which tells me that they are not.
That means to me that I would have to enter a lot of positions he shows as available to hit on the occasional big winners that he showcases in his presentation.
I’ve been subscribed to Tom Gentile’s Money Calendar since July. I’ve missed a few of his alerts, due to timing, but overall I’m down about $4500, not including the $2000 to get in. He’ll publish a video when one hits and proclaim the money calendar strikes again, but overall, as soon as an alert is emailed, I’d venture to guess it almost immediately starts to die. I’m officially out now, but just wanted to let everyone know that I believe this is in most parts a subscription scam. Must be nice to get thousand to part ways with $2000-$2500 for… Read more »
Thanks, just another gamble with scam. I need to vomit. I just wish for once something would be real.
Hi…This is a ” copy-and-paste passage of the sales letter” The quote is: I guarantee that if you don’t see a chance to profit in the next 30 days on Tom’s upcoming trades, you can call us and receive your membership fees back in full. This way, you’ll risk absolutely nothing in signing up….. END QUOTE THE KEY WORDS HERE ARE…..(if you don’t see a chance to profit.).. My thinking is: How in the world can someone guarantee that somebody don’t see something.( Same argument that Bush pushed regarding the WMD’s in Iraq) It is …and will remain… impossible to… Read more »
Excellent analysis of he word “chance”. I remember a few years ago when DR. Kent Moore was putting out videos stating that we were going to have an electric care revolution, etc… He bragged about being a consultant to the richest oil families. Think about how he did not know that fracking would change the oil industry to a point where prices would decrease and people would not be rushed to purchase electric cars. Kent said Lithium would be the next valuable commodity like gold. My wealthy stock broker friend always says that if you know how to make millions… Read more »
Thanks very much for all those who took the trouble to make a report on this “offer”. I nearly got sucked in. Whew, A closer shave than a Remington.
Archie
The DHI put mentioned in my earlier comment went horribly wrong, lost $1,200. My friend who purchased his $2500 membership canceled it for a partial refund.
I think his trick is that he tells us about trades that have already happened. It’s easy to get distracted by the big percentages and facts about what happened with a particular stock. He always speaks / emails in past tense form about what you COULD have made. Some of his examples were never even recommended trades in the first places. Anyway. Hope this has helped someone out there.
is there someplace where I can see the list of the 8 or 9 items that are needed to create the “F score”? Were you successful in seeing the X happen in any stocks you were looking at? Did they have the required/needed “F score” items?
thanks for your time.
sorry, when I asked the question was thinking about High Velocity Windfall
not Tom G. newsletter
Hi Fay,
I’m do have High Velocity Windfall. ALL of his picks I’ve had done, are making money. One of the few legits I’ve seen out there.
yes this has helped me, I googled the money calandar while litening to a presentation and now thanks to all of your experiences I now know not to proceed further with this money calendar proposition.
Thank you for your help.
Great comments. Thank you. As I suspected, yet another subscription game to make money for the editors and leave us traders in the dust. Happy trading.
Thanks for all the honest posts and follow ups! You all have saved me from another costly disappointment.
Fay, I will try to get you some of the info you seek on the high velocity windfalls.
Travis, I wish I could post a screenshot on your site. Fay: I believe the high velocity windfalls is more of a recommendation service than a learn, observe, and apply service. I believe the the piotroski score is composed of: Net income Cash flow return on asets Change in return on assets Quality of earnings Change in gearing or leverage Change in working capital Change in shares issue Change in gross margin Change in asset turnover They are either viewed as positive or negative changes for the above and all positive would be a 9 out of 9 piotroski score.… Read more »
Hi to all readers and contributors. over the years, I have willingly paid subscriptions to various companies and their offers/recommendations of shares or trades. all have failed to generate a positive return. By the time I realised the failures, it was usually too late to look for a refund. I accept the onus was on me to buy or not to buy. I am responsible for my losses. Nothing ever seems to change, there is a willing new group of subscribers for these companies, to sell their wares. I recommend that the combined experience of us traders, and stock buyers,… Read more »

When you listen to Tom Gentile’s video about how much money every one claims to have made over and over is sickening. Is there anyway that people like him can be challenged or stopped in their tracks for false advertising. In this day of sophisticated technology, they use the Internet openly to scam people and ironically, get away with it. Does every one believe that what is on the Internet is true, WOW.The old saying buyer beware is not good enough. These type of people or organizations should be eliminated once and for all. Maybe it’s time to go back… Read more »
I’ve been with Tom since late 3rd quarter 2015.
I started with $20,000 and largely (not completely) following his advice I’ve grown that to $31,000 over the last 4 months or so.
He had several winners early on when I was doing small trades ($500 ea per recommendation) and he’s had more losers in December 2015/January 2016. I’ve managed to keep above water by doing day trades catching AMZN or other big stocks at resistance/support levels.
So basically I was making an additional $3000/month in Q4 2015 and for the month of January I’ve made…. $18 (not kidding).
I know this is way after the fact (1.5 years) but I listened to Tom’s video and got excited. Haven’t invested yet (asking price is $499 for the Money Calendar). Todd, what did you do that everyone else didn’t thoughout this chain? Also, how are you doing now, a couple years later? Wondering if the Money Calendar has changed in any way and maybe gotten better results. If the experience is better, I might go and purchase.
I did unfortunately get sucked into this subscription. I now refer to it as the Lose Money Calendar. There have been a couple of transactions that doubled, but there have been too many others that have more than offset those gains. I currently have two open positions recommended by Mr. Gentile, and each day I watch both slowly sink towards $0. I guess for some unknown reason I’m hoping to turn around these losses and I continue to play his recommendations, but each time I end up kicking myself. At this point I’d like to simply recover the investments that… Read more »
Thanks everyone for your honest opinions. You all saved my hard earned money.
Hi all
Thanks for taking time to post all those comments, same as a few people I was getting sucked in by all the promises of huge gains,I literally had my card details out just decided to do a little more checking first!!!
Thank you to all. I was getting ready to get sucked in and even had a argument with my wife 3 days ago about this. I guess I have to tell her I’m sorry.
HI Joe,
Lately I am having the same issues that you are having with your wife. Every time I see one of these money making schemes,I like to join and she always refuses.we occasionally have fights. Her thought process is, if this guy could make boat load of money, why cannot he make his own money instead of selling to folks like you. Thinking back it makes lot of sense now.
Al Razzi
Just like during the gold rush. The people who made money were the ones selling the equipment and services to support those who were looking for gold.
I receive several of these offers every week, I was sure most were scams. The stock market just does not allow a person to be as accurate as these offers attempt to get you to believe. IIf you are in the stock market, you will lose some of the time I have my own system and have written a book that is on Amazon and it is titled “Earn 5 to 10 % monthly Selling Options. I use credit spreads and I do make money most of the time. But like everyone else, I have some loses. If you can… Read more »
I am one of the unlucky ones that got sucked in last fall. I have now dubbed this the Lose Money Calendar. I had been hoping to simply recoup my losses, and write off the initial subscription fee as an investment in a bad education. But the more I tried by convincing myself that “maybe this is the one”, the more I lost. I have two remaining positions that will likely expire worthless, adding to my losses, and then I will hang my head, cry for mercy, and run for cover. DO NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!
Sure happy I decided to go some research on Tom Gentile’s money calendar. This was a great resource to read and from the gest of all participants there’s nothing good about this ” too good to be true” ” snake oil salesman” offering. Thanks everybody in participating and to my wife thanks again for calling me a dummy for listening to another one of these get rich scams again!!
Man… So glad I read all these messages. You all saved me $3000.00 that I was about to invest.When am I going to learn if it’s to good to be true ….. It’s a lie. Thanks everyone. Tom
Sorry to all for your loses , but thank you for your honesty in a scam filled world . Reading all your post I have learned a lot . Thank you all
He new Money clock trader service is a bigger fraud than his money calander. It should be called the debit clock. Last 6 trades lossers. Don’t get sucked in.
I am so glad I was able to find honest reviews on Tom Gentile’s Money Calendar. I guess I’m like most people because I think everyone is looking for an easier method of predicting the market but, my husband is a pessimist and I being an optimist keep hoping there is a way to make the process easier. I think Mr. Gentile is relying on people like me and luckily my husband has imparted on me to take some caution when I see something that is too good to be true so, I started looking for some reviews on the… Read more »

I have been a customer with Money Calendar now for about 90 days, after watching Tom Gentile’s guarantee that users of the program would make a million dollars by the end of the year. (Of course I did not fall for this hard to fulfill promise, but I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt due to his reputation with Optionetics. Only now have I begun taking some trades, and all I can say is, I am less than impressed and am sure to not make Tom’s goal of his clients making a million dollars by the end… Read more »
Time Tom goes to JAIL !!!!!!!!!
I was in this service and its a 50/50 shot. Not worth the $1950 I paid. A fair price would be about $200 for the year. Do your DD and pick your own.
I joined Tom Gentile’s Money Calendar about a year ago and it has been nothing short of a SPECTACULAR LOSER!! More than 75% of Tom’s recommendations turn south, and turn south hard!! Most of his recommendations are TOTAL LOSSES, but he does have some winners–but please note they are far and beyond overshadowed by the losers. He is also very dishonest in what he shows as his profits–often showing that he got in for much much lower than any of his subscribers could possible have achieved. I would most definitely and sincerely steer anyone away from investing with this fraud.… Read more »
He ALMOST had me by the balls ; the tiny voice told me to check the guy out BEFORE getting in… Thank you all for speaking out the truth. These villains should be in prison really.
Hey all. I have some more info. I joined Tom gentile weekly cash clock. Different than the calendar, but same result. Lost my ass…BUT……not all of money map press programs are bad. High velocity profits with Keith Fitzgerald has been REALLY good. He has great picks, explains them thoroughly, and keeps tight stops so you don’t lose your ass.MY ONLY RECOMMENDATION IS TO BUY PUT OPTIONS ON THE SHORT RECOMMENDATIONS, DONT SHORT OUTRIGHT. people who shorted the stock mattress firm woke up with quite dent in their savings………..other than that, excellent pics. The hype on his call options is real.… Read more »
