Power Gauge Investor-Marc Chaikin-StansberryListened to 2 hour 15 minute podcast about new subscription for $2,500 that among other things offers 10 small cap recommendations from Chaikin & Stanberry’s Top 10 Power Picks. Also access to Power Gauge System to see their ratings on 4,000 stocks. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.

I have same question … I only can say that he recommended IDCC in the end … that you already know , if you watch it completley like me.
What I do not understand is , that the IDCC rating today is Neutral … and not bullish as it was , when he showed it. So I would have thought , if it is his #1 stock pick, why hasnt it a “very bullish” Power Gauge rating …
I watched it online and there was a disclaimer that popped up toward the end of the video that said the recording was from May. The stock had a big run up from May to mid-June but has been coming down ever since.
ptifzy, thank you for posting this. Chaikin’s Power Gauge looks is intruiging and can be a very useful tool.
I didn’t watch the whole video. After about one hour I skipped to the transcript. I was waiting for his free “need to buy now” stock recommendation that was promised, but did not hear/see it. Upon reading the transcript I didn’t find it either.
If someone can share the name of Chaikin’s free stock recommendation, that would be very much appreciated.
hey… moneyfool … i share the ticker of the free stock above (IDCC) … which was revealed almost at the end after 2 hours 10 minutes … as said … its confusing that excatly this stock … if you enter it into the Power Gauge tool .. only has a Chaikin Rating of neutral … (when he showed it it had a bullish rating – but not a very bullish rating)
Another stock that was named in a 3 stocks report of Chaikin was TGLS Technoglass .. which has still a very bullish rating (but is not his #1 stock pick .. .which s IDCC as said)
Cheers
Thank you, Nick.
It’s a bit confusing indeed. I won’t bet the farm on InterDigital.
Tecnoglass Inc (TGLS) was recommended today as a top stock by Louis Navellier of Investor Place. It’s also rated as a “top buy” by Zacks.
On his latest broadcast: buy live nation
And sell Zillow
Along the way he also mentioned Macy’s (M) as a strong bull, plus his “live demos” showed Charles River Labs (CRL) and Google (GOOGL – only one of the FAANG stocks presently) as being very bullish. On the flip side, he panned Netflix (NFLX) and Peleton (PTON) along the way as very bearish. I noticed these “live” looks were dated late Sept 21. Just finished watching it (1/9/22) so not sure of their continuing strengths or weaknesses. BTW, Live Nation Entertainment is ticker LYV.
#Live Nation Ent (LYV) #Macy’s (M) #Charles River Labs (CRL) #Google (GOOGL)
#Netflix (NFLX) #Peleton (PTON) #Zillow (Z)
Greetings Travis & company,
I’m trying to buy your BPRHF holding, I’m only finding GLXY ticker on Interactive Brokers, which appears to be on the Canadian exchange. Can’t quickly find clarification on the web…. Help, thanks!!
Same company… GLXY in Toronto is their “real” ticker, since that’s the exchange where they’re listed. Interactive Brokers provides access to local exchanges in other countries, as you’re seeing here with Toronto, so they often don’t use or recognize the foreign company OTC ticker like US-only brokers do. Do make sure you know whether you’re paying US$ or Canadian$ and exactly what you’re buying, but it’s always best to buy on the home exchange if you can.
Thank you Travis!
Thanks so much!!
Travis, I’d appreciate your opinion on Marc Chaikin’s Power Gauge. He wants $2,500 to give his analysis of 4,000 stocks, from very bullish to sell. I like the fact that you can plug in a lot of stocks and get his reading but don’t know how good he actually is. He says he combines technical analysis with trends and insider buying, etc. I’d love to find a service that would help improve my investment and wonder if this might be it. He comes across as pretty strong but is pretty old- maybe 78? So I wonder, even if he’s good, what happens to his service if he passes on. But I greatly value your opinion as I have read much of what you have posted and think you have a lot of wisdom to share. Thanks for anything you can say.
I also skipped the hustle and went straight to the transcript which does not have the free recommendation. Thanks for the name. What was the share he said one should sell/avoid? And what was the sector one should be in?
I do not think his rating system is unique except in that he claims he can identify potentially fast growing stocks before they take off. That really is something worth paying for but can he?
The stock to avaoid is Zoom (ZM) …
It was actually Z (Zillow)
(Doesn’t matter that much because both have been dogs in 20121 and would have been correctly labeled as “sell”.
I was researching Chaikin Analytics and found you can get the same Power Gauge from them for about $1600 per year. I wonder what is in the “free reports” that would be worth the extra $900 from the webinar presentation. https://toptradereviews.com/chaikin-analytics-review/#:~:text=Chaikin%20Analytics%20costs%20%24595%20per,before%20committing%20to%20a%20subscription.
Is the Power Gauge Investor legitimate?
This Power Gauge is somewhat different from the one I signed for, and the 30 days have passed to get a credit. It was to end on May 24 but continued for about another ten days ten. The tens stocks he picked I would never have thought of or heard of. I chose this because I know and have done well with tech stocks, but they are stagnant at the moment and losing and so I took a chance from Chad at Stansberry Research. He even said I would receive another year for $500. It’s free now? Oh boy, I was stuck with this line up until I would see how well the Power Gauge did. I also ran out of time to get credit, as if I would want to. In two weeks we got a sell sign, on one stock, and the next week we sold another one. Marc’s Power Guage was starting to smoke as did his tin hat. I believe five others, maybe four were down. I will return with the exact figures and maybe a free not-to-buy portfolio. I need some legal advice before I go to that extreme. Now we must remember, we all have a bad day, week, month, year, and life if we keep falling these carnies pitches. So far run from Stansberry’s newest tin man, but come back in a month and we will see if any of this bull turns out a winner. I’m sure Marc will be around as will new stock symbols. I’ve been thinking about a class-action suit, but I don’t know if you can sue someone forbs, but I do know you can for deliberate falsehoods.
Oh yes, the good old power gauge. I tried that out once before. I’ll stick with Sjuggerud from Stansberry.
Stansberry is still “giving away” Chaikin’s IDCC pick, at the end of a grossly repetitive heavy handed commercial pitch for a $2000 subscription. A couple of months ago just before Chaikin’s previous offer expired he offered the free advice to avoid Splunk. This was at the same moment a different Stansberry publication advised buying Splunk, $115 at the time. I bought in. Splunk is now $141. Over the same period IDCC fell from $85 to $65. So, what I have seen about the “Power Gauge” over the past two months does not match the Power Hype.
Stansberry continually promotes other services he owns to his subscribers. When I subscribed to his “Alliance” about 17 years ago he promised to include every new service he produced except for one called “Diligence” and he said the only additional cost would be about $100/year for postage. He has failed that promise in multiple ways. First, he stopped mailing newsletters so his postage cost disappeared but he continued the $100/year assessment. Second, he developed several companies in the same business with names other than Stansberry and their newsletters are not included–but rather they are heavily promoted to “Alliance” subscribers. “Chaikin Analytics” is one such company. Mark Litman’s “Altimeter” service is another. Third he added two newsletters with the “Venture” title that are excluded On the other hand, he did add numerous newsletters to the “Alliance” service that are included. These added newsletters vary from dreadful to excellent, most are mediocre.
In sum, Stansberry gave a mixed bag of reasonable value, constant promotional hustle, some deception, and very mixed results. Overall I’d have been better off with passive ETFs tracking the S&P500.
What I got after an hour [just couldn’t listen anymore] was to invest in cyber security and artificial intelligence. Good to know, but there are a lot of those stocks out there. Alas….
Thank you guys, this is like those timeshares back in the day. I appreciate you taking one for the team! I was 45 minutes through the video already
update on powerguage: Today, you can pay only $50 for $199 access. His buy was MIME and his sell was Zillow. Is it worth it?
MIME is being bought out at $80 a share. Seems like inside info he had rather than a magic formula. On Nov 21 the stock was $84.
Chaikin’s ‘Money Flow’ and ‘Volatility’ are chart indicators that might be provided by your broker as part of the research they offer customers for free. Just saying, although that’s probably not as robust and easy as plugging in a symbol and getting a rating. Coincidently I had found IDCC using a cash flow screen before reading this, all by myself, but it’s been dead money so far. And thanks Travis.
Yes, the Chaikin Volatility is provided by my brokerage at no cost, it’s just another chart showing two m.a. indicators with volume for buys and sells. No big deal.

When Chaikin reccomeds a buy his picks are BULLISH ones. Catherine from ARK INVESTMENTS buys stocks that are BEARISH. So go figure it out
I watched the full presentation too 3/30/2022. Stock he recommended has already gone up from $2 to $6 (back to its average highs) in the last several weeks. So not very current, or not very best of the best (since he also mentioned top 3% of clients get the best system info //as they pay a lot more//).

shows Power Gauge Report is $199 for a year and get 1 year of free access to the Power Gauge system where you can type in a company symbol and it will give you the rated results and the 20-factor breakdown. So that is cheaper option than risking the $2500 I believe.
I wonder what the 20 factors are. But they are from 50 years of experience for faster Growth (price rising of companies stock). I am more dividend stable focused. So I will pass even on the $199 option.
I watched the entire 2-hour+ presentation on Power Gauge Investor. It looks like the only way to invest. It looks infallible. It is said to be a steal at $2,500!
From the reviews below, I checked the charts on the stocks Marc says are the very best of the very best and none of the reviewers say they are making any money in the last 12 months!
I could not find any reviews of anyone making money with PGI.
What am I missing?
I tried it for 30 days and got my money back. The recommended portfolio had like 8 stocks on it. One got bought out for a nice gain, but the 7 others were down, like 10-15%.
One of their marketing managers called me and was professional. I told him I need to see the % track record on every stock they rated bullish or bearish until the signal went back to neutral. They couldn’t and if they could they would have if it was good..
You and I could invent a power gauge tomorrow flipping a coin on bear or bull on 4,000 stocks. Then a year later we could point to 20 stocks we rated as bull with huge gains. and how brilliant our system is. Out of 2,000 bull ratings, we will get 20 (1-2 baggers) even though it was a random rating.
I invested in the Power Gauge Investor. $2500 wasted. Turned out that 80% of the stock picks are losers. What is worse is that they use a stop loss of 30%. There can be few ways of going bankrupt more quickly. Now i know why they do not offer REFUNDS. If they did they would not make any money. They do of course offer the classic Newsletter offer of a credit to spend on their other offers. I also find this an insult. If you have just had a very bad experience with one of their mendaciously hyped offerings why would you waste time on trying another of their offerings. Interestingly on lower coupon offerings you can get a time limited refund.
Fortunately I had the sense to contact my card company and complained that the product that was supplied was not as advertised. My subscription will be refunded.
