Mampilly is supposed to send another once-in-a-lifetime trade alert. I’m a lifetime member (DON’T make that mistake with ANY Banyan Hill services), but they don’t send me trade alerts. Their customer service response, “You can find it on the website.” We all know how haphazard they are about maintaining the portfolio on the website. At best, it will be updated the day of or the day after. I’m guessing they wait till all their fronts have had time to buy at rock bottom.
Sooo, would someone mind sharing that alert? I’m trying to get back a little of the $6,000 I sunk in the service alone. Charter member since Feb 2016… Average return (holdings and sold) 11%. Thanks!

At 11:00 AM CDT Mampilly posted his earthshaking stock pick. He reworked one he had us sell in May – Accuray (ARAY). It closed today 12.96% higher than the price he paid – $4.05. I never did get the email.

KeepAtIt I had similar issues with my account. Per the customer service, I did forgot password and reset the account password and that fixed it. If that doesnโ€™t fix it, call customer support and ask them to change the password and you can change it back. That would reset your account too. Hope this works.
Btw I have some premium suscription not EF and would be happy to trade info. If your interested, let me know, my email is Sriram.vj@gmail.com
Thanks!

Does anyone own Sangamo Therapeutics. (SGMO) I should call myself the “Greenhorn” because I know virtually nothing about stocks. I read an email from Ray Blanco (Banyan) and I dumped nearly $10,000 into SGMO thinking they had developed the greatest medical gift to mankind. I went from $18.88 per share in Sept. to $13.70 as of this writing on Oct. 23, 2018. I have since joined Profits Unlimited and have been barraged by emails for all kinds of Paul Mampilly super deals. Now I’ve read the majority of reviews on PM but they are overwhelmingly negative. Please reply with your responses

(1) Should I unload SGMO or ride it out?
(2) What stock(s) do you all feel are profitable?
(3) Do you all buy primarily for longterm or in and out?

Thanks, John

I don’t know how you all are doing with the various programs offered, but I’d say from looking at the budget edition –Profits Unlimited– PM is badly out of sync. I been there: I’m not saying he’s a terrible; I still think he’s trying but it’s more evidence we all have to take other people’s advice with the same caution we take our own.

Recently due to market shake up most of the stocks are going nose down, but after the election result stocks are coming to the surface and going up. I have started with profits unlimited then later on I wind up all of the them except AMD, and put everything in EF(Extreme Fortunes), if you have too much money you can bite in all of his services, but I like to stay & concentrate in one service, so you can know exactly what’s going on.

My personal own portfolio still 17% down now it’s getting up, but Paul’s EF overall is not bad & until today after election it’s 11% up. After jeff Sessions is fired by trump we expect some marijuana stocks might go up to 3000%, because he was the prime blocker of marijuana.

Total “pump and dump” operation. They tout their winners relentlessly to attract fee-paying clients but simply don’t deliver anything near the results they advertise. I honestly don’t know how they avoided regulatory scrutiny, given some of the representations they make.

If PM can turn 10K into a FORTUNE within a year, then he should be trading right alongside members. Using 100K, so he has some skin in the game. Frankly I find it hard to believe anyone that is not risking right along side you.

Mr Assassin, your point is genuine, but as you know the whole stock market do not stand on 100% guarantee. All brokers predict on financial study of the stock company & some broker has different unique gut feeling based on study like any extraordinary person in any field, that certain stock will go up or down, when extraordinary Broker predict with confidence, their prediction comes close to their outcome few result percentage fail as market nature, so it should not tied up with total failure.

I have started with PM (Paul Mampilly) since he started with Banyan Hill last 2 years. I have made good money by following exactly his guidelines & in future hoping lot more.

I never saw any broker in my life who explains in such a easy way even a 6th grader student can manage stocks with profits. Only what we need : PATIENCE & FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES !

So now the “guarantee” is to make $10000 into $250000 in 1 year, or if he doesn’t, 2nd year is free. That means you pay $2995 for a 2 year subscription to an underforming newsletter. I have found Profits Unlimited to be quite good,but EF to be not worth tying up capital. Yes, I subscribed the first two years but now the subscription is out and while I didn’t make enough to cover the subscription the first time around, they have a new “guarantee”.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!

Couldnโ€™t agree with you more. None of the EF picks ever got close to 1000% gains. Itโ€™s been a total bust. Iโ€™ll keep PU but would never renew EF. Iโ€™ve had it for 2 years, second year free.

I have mixed feelings about everything. I agree that his marketing scheme of turning $10,000 into $250,000 is a joke. Even getting 1,000% return is pretty far fetched. However, I have to say things have gotten much better. As of Friday’s close 2/22/19, 24 out of his 33 open positions are in positive territory, with 5 of them over 100 plus % return. I don’t know if they will hit 1,000% return this year, but Paul might still be the best editor at Banyan Hill. Some of the other people are total losers. Mike Carr is a perfect example.

Why would I want to tell you that and waste my time doing it?? It’s one thing to inform the public about the quality of these services, but the point here is not to give out stock picks for free. Personally, one thing I can’t really stand are free loaders.- people who want something and have nothing to give back or contribute in return.
Nothing against you, but just saying…

oops, I thought I deleted my post previously. Or I should rephrase my question: what’s the average return of these 33 open positions?

As of today 10/22/19, the overall average gain for Extreme Fortunes according to Banyan Hill is 16.76%. I haven’t checked their math, but as all the subscribers know, doing math correctly is not one of Banyan Hill’s strong point!
Here is their posted numbers for this service as of today:

“Extreme Fortunes:
Positions: 72, Average Gain: 16.76%, Average Hold: 300 Days
Last Updated: 10/22/2019”

I can tell you as an ex EF Member. I lost two tickers without refunds, I bought 18 positions and sold some in the red (as recommended) with 10 positions left now and I’m down overall on the portfolio by 32.69%. Waste of money. I paid out $5k, bought 18 positions, lost 2, sold 6 at a loss and still at a loss.

I gather EF is the worst of the bunch…..and has been since Day 1. As I recall, EF came about first after PU’s success and started a sting of ridiculous programs costing a fortune. I’m sorry you got snookered. I still find value in hearing PM’s PU picks. I don’t choose many but I do think about each one.

It’s a crazy time right now and it’s actually a good time to keep notes and nibble a little even with a lot more downside in the overall market probable.

One thing I always said– no service will do you any good if you don’t have a background in the business. One has to have a way to discern/or bounce things off their own experience. Without that you are following blind.

And wham! It’s even more of a bitter pill to have someone make your own mistakes for you than just being stupid yourself.

i just became member of Profits Unlimited and was upsold to Extreme Fortunes. Thank you for review. Sorry for your loss but i had the same experience with Alan Knuckman 42 day retirement plan and some of other services.
Kudos to StockGumShoe team for transparency of these services
I’ll keep profits unlimited and trade carefully.

Hopefully you’ll recover from your loss through other mediums.
Good luck

I have used his recommendations along with his newest Pumper Ian and I am losing significant money on his Pot Picks.
Especially TGODF. He was blowing this horn since Feb 2019 and it went from 4 to .85 – I am contemplating suing Banyan Hill and all
the cronies there. This is starting to look like a scene from The Wolf of Wall St. His poor boy from India story is starting to look like
the guy from the 80s and 90s Paul Vu. I am very angry at his service.

I have access to all subscriptions from Banyan Hill and honestly the majority of them are just garbage. I realize now that the crappier the service, the bigger the lies and the heavier they try to pump and promote it. If a service doesn’t go well, they will just change the name and try to relaunch it and promote it as a “new service” again to try to get more suckers in. Jeff Yatin’s “Front Line Profit” is just a relaunch of his failed “Insider Trader” service. “Apex Profit” was just a relaunch of failed “Power Trend Profit”. “Rebound Profit” was so horrible, they had to “relaunch” it again, so they can have an excuse to wipe out all the losers, and start with a new clean plate again. It made no difference at all. All the losers now just piled back up again. What are they going to do? Relaunch it again??
Their approach needs to be changed. They need to actually do a better job instead of trying to deceive the public.

Most of their weekly podcast updates are just filled with useless information to stall time and give them excuses to continue to lead subscribers on. Paul been saying the same BS on 1,000% return on his Extreme Fortunes stocks for the past 3 years, so far really nothing to show for at all. It’s all talk and no proof. Quite honestly, I am embarrassed for him and give him a lot of credit for still being able to keep a straight face. Well, I guess you have to have thick skin and no dignity to work in this field.:)

I honestly think if they were to use their time and resources on doing their job instead of coming up with all these deceitful schemes, all their services will perform much better! Maybe they should just fire Jeff Yastin and hire me as their advisor instead! LOL That way, all the Banyan Hill services will do better, and people will actually want to subscribe to them! It’ s win-win for everyone if you ask me!

The reason why I am taking my time to write this is not only to inform the public, but I also hope that Banyan Hill will actually work to try to improve on doing a better job, instead of just trying to get more subscriptions for themselves. If you are actually doing a good job and providing a good service, people will want to subscribe!!!

I’m also a subscriber but to to all their services. I find Jeff Yastine’s weekly updates to be spot on. An made some good money with some of his recommendations. The main thing he and all the others need to do, specially we as subscribers is: to cut the losers quickly, have a hard set rule to sell when they are down by 5% and move on, or wait for a proper entry price when the market will pump the stock price up. So they don’t distinguish well value versus growth and with their ambitions to cover a plethora of unexperienced investors whom sign in with a small amount of money and with high conviction to become rich with these “gurus” advice, which by the way are just recommendations and you have to align your investment style and personality with their recommendations. Not all recommendations are good for you, not they work. The just buy and hold works for those whom are willing to wait for 3 or more years.
All other services are too expensive and luring people with different themes.
Ian King is good for IPOs and new trends, again cut your loses earlier than what he recommends.
Bauman gives some good valuer picks with dividends.
Paul Mampilly wastes too much time talking about the pet.
All other are trying just too hard to convince people to sign in, they give you access for free to see if you forget and then pay for the renewal, they are not worth it. The avalanche of continuous selling is the most annoying thing from this publisher. They need to revamp their strategy, be more realistic and focus on trimming the losses to be insignificant when compared with the wins.
So at the end it is our job to wisely use any recommendation from any newsletter.

Extreme Fortunes is worthless . The advertising is completely fraudulent. There have been no 1000% stocks,
There never will be any 1000% stocks. Banyan hill is only good at advertising. I got a second year free because
nothing happened…there were not even any half-way big winners. Second year was no better.
Paul Manpilly may have made a lot of money for himself, but he’s not going to be of any help to you.

Totally agree – so much so that we are suing Banyan Hill and Ian Dyer specifically – take a look at TGODF – this company was paying him to pump it so they could issue stock at a higher price. Ian Dyer told all the subscribers to hold even though ACB sold all their shares. If our paths cross Ian Dyer will not like the outcome I assure you. He is being investigated by the SEC for working for a hedgefunds at the same time as pumping stocks for Banyan .
Banyan Hills other rags are all in the red as well. Chad Shoops’s options pick are 2 winners for every 11 losers.
