Roger consistently up-dates you through email; he recommends selling appropriately; keeps you up to date on Canadian Government changes, etc. A value investor approach. Have gotten the letter for several years.
Roger knows his stuff in the energy/utility space. Have subscribed to this since its inception after enj Utility Forecaster for years. His problem was that he started a newsletter in an arena that got overly trendy (CRTs). You have to add a bit of your own common sense when you subscribe to a sector newsletter like this not to get carried away buying when the sector gets overly popular and overpriced. He is very clear on what’s safe or risky and why, and on his rationale for his recommendations, which is very helpful in
Overall a good letter and I also have been using the Utility Forecaster for my parents accounts. They claim to know company management, insiders, etc. so I was very surprised they had no hint or clue as to the October Massacre where most of their recommendations were decimated…more than a bit disappointing. I held on to most of the holdings and they did make a good bounce back, but I cant say I will trust them again…
Subscriber for 4 years. Best newsletter to which I’ve ever subscribed. Thorough, well written, objective. Really like Conrad’s style and conservative, thoughtful approach. He clearly knows more about Cantrusts than any other writer out there. Extremely educational and informative.
Was a subscriber in 2008. Lost money in all his picks.
A useless newsletter, better avoid.
For awhile Roger provided interesting picks, and seemed to be on top of things. But then came the October Surprise when the funds dropped immensely. Looking back, one can see a drop in most of the stocks affected 2 days previous to the Canadian announcement, but Riger did not seem to know anything. Obviously others were in the loop, but not him. He never asnwered questions about this. I would also concur with the previous statement on 14% dividends being useless with a plummeting stock price. Quite accurate.
befor critiqing personal finance i would like to say that i object to all news letters who continue to divide their original scope into sub sectors. instead on performing their advertised general market advice they have divided the original letter into numerous sectors, short changing members who bought in early. personal finance is inexpensive and once in awhile has a good idea. i never read rodger conrad’s newsletter but, feel it is too expensive. i do read his article in personal finance and it’s always the same.
Over the time I have subscribed I have been very impressed with the thoroughness of analysis and timely email updates. My understanding of the impact of the Canadian tax changes is much greater than what I have found in other sources. I heartily recommend Canadian Edge for income investors.
I have been subsribed to Conrad for years. Its a matter of philosophical approach. How aggresive you want to be. I like the stability, the income and even the growth, some of his picks we have sticked with over the years are in the triple digits. I m a little cautious with new pick and do use trailing sell stop more of a way to let me know it s a loser than to limit the loses since most of these stodgy stocks move slow. Over all I love it and most of my holdings are his picks.
I have been a subscriber to Canadian Edge on and off over the past three years. Compared to most of the subscriptions out there, I believe that his periodical has a reasonable amount of substance.. Good for those people new to Royalty trusts and not so good for those wanting clear buy & sell signals and more guts ie data.. The monthly hymn sheet covers over 70 pages and needs to be trimmed down and be more focussed…A lot of the pages repeat from previous months. Overall my portfolio is up so cannot complain.
Roger is thoughtful and conservative. Not afraid to admit a mistake and regroup. Never miss a conference call. MLP Profits and Canadian Edge are well organized and make common sense. I think both are money well invested for the information provided. I have always beaten the averages easily starting with Rogers insights and low buy limits.
Well researched, more than enough data and analysis. Nice to get the regular dividend payments, but still underwater on his stock tips after several years. And yes, those dividend payments fell with the stocks.
Maybe as natural gas recovers, some of them will take off again.
Now that I am no longer subscribed, I get regular spam from him, and have had to blacklist.
I AM A NEW POTENTIAL-I HAVE BEEN READING ALL OF THE ABOVE OPINIONS AND AT LEAST THEY LET YOU READ THE NEGATIVE ONES AS WELL-AM DOING SOME RESEARCH-I HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS ONE OF C.E. INVESTORS AND IS DOING QUITE WELL-I APPRECIATE THE INFO-THANK YOU-JOE BOYD
I tried their 3 month trail, as I was interested in Canadian Energy. I found that most of the info I already knew. At just prior to the end of the 3 month trial, I requested termination and refund, as per their advertisement. I never received the refund, and I’ve sent at least 3 email requests over 5 months. I received reply on first that it had been credited, but that turned out to untrue.
Have been a subscriber for 5 years. His report is by far the most profitable I have ever used. I’m a retired Canuck who also uses a few other sources before buying his recommendations, and my annual profits,(and steady income) are quite satisfactory.
We have subscribed for years. We like the advice that points us toward high dividends which is indeed the approach that Roger Conrad follows. Conrad’s suggestion on school busing isn’t one of my favorites because I don’t like to support incarcerating kids daily. But regardless of that, most of Conrad’s suggestions are pretty good.
