Has anyone figured this one out from PM
This firm โ sitting at a humble $1.75 billion market cap โ is pouncing on a $16.8 trillion jackpot โฆ by disrupting the entire American financial sector as we know it.
my guess is Lending Club LC
Makes sense, 4 inside buyers with almost $100 million in buys in Nov/Dec. Certainly disruptive.
Lending club is a good guess, I’ve been digging and found an article , could it be bank of internet (bofi) fits the 1.75 cap tease and was mentioned to be a break out financial in 2018
BOFI- doesn’t look like any inside buys in Nov Dec 2017.
Big volume on the 5 on LC.
Thanks Miles.
Did anybody actually confirm that yet.
Regards
Pavan Reddy
is PM’s new recommendation for EF?
LC – confirmed. Big China investment in the company as well, which may be one of the driving factors Paul didn’t mention in his last update. Attractive opportunity.
LC —LendingClub corp or ??
What Firm are you speaking of? I dont recall reading anything like that in EF or PM
I don’t know why some of my fellow EF subscribers would want to give out picks for free. Trying to pump and dump the stock on this discussion forum is silly and will not help anyone out! I am willing to sell Paul’s EF picks individually with all his writings and updates on them for just a small price. Legit and no hidden agendas. Just trying to make it a win-win for both parties and no BS. If interested, please feel free to email me EFtrader2017@gmail to discuss.
Thanks.
To me something not right about giving away picks either on this board or individually via e-mail. I have no problems with just sharing guesses but giving the picks away soon after announcement by PM seems counterproductive (i.e. fewer clues in the future) if not illegal.
Also, not to defend Banyan Hill Publishing, but there is another reason why they charge $3000 for the service- that is to keep every John and Joe on the street from having access to the information. Some EF subscribers might think they are helping themselves out by giving out the pick in the short run to pump it up, but in the long run, if EVERYONE on the street knows the pick, you are just hurting yourself! Besides, you paid crazy money for it, why would you want to share it with everyone in the world for free?? At least charge for it! Most people on these discussion forums just want it all for free; they wouldn’t even pay to become a member of StockGumShoe, which is only $59 per year! I definitely have a problem with that.:)
All I am saying is nothing is really โfor freeโ in this world. If someone is giving you trading picks for free, you have to question what is their motive. I mean itโs all good if some people can actually figure out the teasers from the clues, but I have a feeling some of the EF subscribers here are just deliberately โleakingโ out some of the EF picks hoping for a quick pump and dump, which is plain stupid! Has anyone gotten rich from a quick pump and dump? By sharing the picks with the world, you are just hurting yourself and other EF subscribers in the long run. By publicly announcing the picks on an open discussion forum, it will never reach its full potential; we will never get 1000% return! Why would you want to give them to lurkers and freeloaders for nothing?? Thatโs why I encourage EF subscribers to barter with other non-subscribers in exchange for something if they want in. Itโs an expensive subscription and not everyone can afford it or willing to pay for it. Which is fine, but they have to give something back in return. I believe in fair trading. Help others, but also help yourself out too. Make it a win-win situation for both parties.
Personally, besides money, I am willing and more than happy to share EF trades with others in exchange for True Momentum picks, Peak Velocity or Pure Income trades.
Look, I understand your frustration but your “pump and dump” theory is wrong. There’s zero chance that the stock–any stock which has either ALREADY risen, or temporarily flagged–is going up in any meaningful way because of such information.
If some “investor” is looking for a quick way to sell, the thought that they can induce buying would be a fools’s errand. Good luck to him. In the big picture, that guy will need it.
Further, whoever suggested that providing this information “may be illegal” has said something preposterous. Not only for sure is it legal; leaks happen all the time. Just look at the name of this website: It’s called “Stock Gumshoe.”
I’ve said this many times: Whatever anyone’s recommendations are, the investor–that’s us–have to know how to interpret and read charts at the time of that recommendation.
It’s that simple.
Paul Mampilly has made some mistakes with his timing. No one is perfect. All of us all need to be careful with whatever information we receive. Perhaps how it gets to us and from whom is another concern. But WE have to decide what we want to do with that information, much as you do. For instance, I don’t blindly follow Paul’s recommendations.
However, I do welcome all those that wish to sell their stock to me. Which is another way of saying the opposite of what you just said.
Much of the time, anyways.
Regardless if this discussion forum had any impact on the “pump and dump” of the EF stocks or not, it is still not a good idea to give out all the picks openly on a public site. And it DEFINITELY does not do the EF subscribers any good. Why do you think most major funds do not allow frequent trading or market timing? That’s because it creates a lot of volatility and negatively affects its performance, hindering its full potential. That’s how I feel about giving out trades openly in a public discussion forum. Plus, like I said, why would subscribers want to benefit the free riders and hurt yourself in the process of doing it? Why would you want to give it to someone who doesn’t offer something in return? We are all traders, definitely should barter for something. Be a smart trader!:)
I really encourage trading picks, sharing thoughts and exchanging tips with each other. I just don’t think giving out every pick for free on a public discussion is a good idea or beneficial to anyone, that’s all.
Hello EF trader, why are you here? you took all the pain to get on to every page just to tell traders its a bad idea?
Hello MattB,
I guess I have the exact same question for you. Why are you here and why do you care…..if what I said does not negatively affect you in any shape or form?
No to extend the argument but I am here to see if I can get some free tickers as I don’t have enough money to pay those expensive subscriptions. so I go around gathering hints to make a decision .. you on the other hand look like paid for the subscription and are here because you a jealous you had to pay ???
MattB,
No worries, I totally understand. And please note that I am not picking on you personally. No, that’s not the reason why I am here. I am just trying to tell the EF subscribers that it doesn’t do them ANY good by giving out the picks openly on a public discussion forum, if that’s the reason why they are giving out for free in the first place. It only creates volatility, affects the stock negatively and hinders its ultimate growth potential. So my argument is the EF subscribers should not do it. We are benefiting the freeloaders and hurting ourselves in the process of doing stupid things like that. It just doesn’t make sense. If EF subscribers want to share and help others out, they should do it in private and hopefully get something back in return. That’s fair trading, at least that’s how I see it.
I am reading this thread and its hilarious.
quick question to y’all …….
How much volume do you think, that EF subscribers plus the freebies add? that one has to be worried about volatility and pump and dump.
people who know how stocks work will tell you that, YES the prices goes up when PM announces a stock but after that the rest is no in ether his hands or the small population who buys them.
in a nutshell , yes I agree that people who buy the subscription feel bad that some of the others get it for free.. but that’s the end of it.
there is no good or bad that happens to the stock itself from them.
Why do it then? It doesn’t make sense to do something that doesn’t have a purpose or reason. At least sell it or exchange for something, that way, at least someone gets out something out of it.
I agree this is becoming comical! “At least someone gets out something out of it”, really means you. It doesn’t sound like you are too happy with your EF subscription if picks are being “leaked” out ahead of time within Banyan Hill. And, then asking others to write in and complain. You say, “they’ve gotten smarter”….I would call that immoral. And, you think people should pay for that?
Well, as much as myself and other EF subscribers like to complain, ultimately Paul does have a good knack for picking winners. All the EF subscribers are frustrated with all the volatility, but ultimately deep down inside, we all still believe Paul can deliver what he promised. Maybe not today, but most people still believe he can do it. I am sure you feel the same way. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be wasting your time reading this or care what picks he has right??
“I’m sure you feel the same way” – Actually, I’ve been hearing from others about leaks within Banyan Hill before trades go out….so, your comment about the same is what caught my eye. Do you work for Banyan Hill?
Well, that’s a pretty silly question to ask, don’t you think? If I work for Banyan Hill, I wouldn’t be wasting my time here complaining about them. Nor would I urge people to exchange trade picks from their other services to help each other out. It doesn’t make any sense. Bottom line is Paul still has to proof himself for his EF service. At this point, most people are still giving him the benefit of the doubt, given his track record.
I think that you are most likely down with the EF subscription as others are in this forum. From what I understand, next year’s subscription will be free of charge because Paul did not meet his guarantee. PU,TM, and PI (not Paul) appear to have better track records so far. Therefore, it would benefit you to make an exchange with someone having one or all of those three subscriptions.
I don’t know if you read some of my other posts. I have been with EF since day 1. The first 7 months I was down about 33% because I didn’t know his stocks were so volatile. And just like everyone else., I just follow all his recommendations blindly. But the remaining of the year of 2017, I made all the money back that I lost to break even. This year I am confident, I will make money off it, because I have seen and learned enough after a year. That’s why I am so vocal here about everything. Maybe not anywhere near the 1000% return he promised, but I am confident I will make money.
Banyan Hill is always money hungry. They are very calculating and market themselves to the full extend humanly possible. That’s why no one should ever sign up for their “Lifetime Membership” or “Inner Circle VIP Membership”. Make them work for it!!! Don’t give money away on what they promise that they potentially could deliver in the future! If they fail to deliver this year, they will beg you to come back. Who knows if Paul or his service will still be around in 2 years?! Don’t pay in advance on some BS empty promises!
I sincerely hope you do make money this year….thank you for your honesty!
I will share. Currently subscription with Proftis Unlimited and True Momentum.
Lynn,
Great. Good to hear. I subscribe to PU too and I have been an EF subscriber since day 1 (Feb.7, 2017). I will be more than happy to share EF picks with you in exchange for TM picks. I can also share some of my experiences and things I learned about EF over the past year with you. Let’s help each other out and make it a win-win for both parties. That has always been my philosophy. Feel free to email me at EFtrader2017@gmail.com
Thanks.
Hi EFtrader,
I just sent you an email to exchange trades. Whenever your ready.
Thank you!
Lynn
On a different note to my fellow EF subscribers out there, I think Banyan Hill has gotten really sneaky with their possible “front runners activity” with the EF stocks. Not sure if everyone knew, but Paul supposedly released an announced “Special Report” pick after the market closed on Friday 1/19/18, so that stock didn’t spike at all that day. But if you look further back, that stock actually spiked 30-40% already the day before on 1/18/18! So my guess is they loaded themselves big time on with the stock and when everyone goes in to buy, they will sell. I was surprised to see that the stock continued to climbed today! Regardless, I think all the subscribers need to write to them, question them and complain again!:) In the past, the stock would spike like an HOUR BEFORE release, now it’s the DAY BEFORE. They have gotten smarter…..
What is the recommended EF stock on the 19th?
Why would I want to give it to the world for free on an open discussion forum?? What do I get out of it? It just creates volatility for the stock and hurts all EF subscribers in the long run. I am willing to give it out on a person to person basis if you have something to give or share in return.
No one would ever think you were a woman. I really had to say that.
Just food for thought. On last weekโs EF podcast, Paul explained that there is no way Banyan Hill Publishing could have participated in any โpump and dumpโ or โfront runnersโ activity because all the editorial staffs are prohibited from owning any stocks they recommend the readers to buy. But Paulโs EF stocks are supposedly touted to generate 1,000% returns right? So it just makes you wonder how much money are the editorial staffs getting paid? Itโs only logical to assume whatever they are getting paid, have to be more than 1,000% return potential to make it worthwhile right? ๐
And, perhaps how they decide what to recommend โ if they must choose, do they write about their best idea, or invest in it?
So I am a subscriber for TM and PU.. I got an email that TM subscribers in less than a year, are sitting on a total gains of 325.42% .. and I was like, that doesnโt makes sense and as I read through the email, I realized that they add individual gains of each stock and claim those huge numbers. In other words if he recommends 100 stocks and each has a 10% profit. he claims a total of 1000% . they will do what they have to claim success.
Exactly. And the promise/guarantee certainly for EF was 1000% gain for each recommender stock. As I mentioned before since that did not happen by any means, they did give me a second year no charge. Hey, I would be thrilled with just one 1000% winner!
So just consider your original purchase was for 2 years instead of 1. He’s happy with charging his price for 2 years, but advertising for only 1. And if by some miracle he hits 1000% in year 1, look out for the renewal price increase.
Well said. And although I have far surpassed the subscription cost in profits, itโs very pricey regardless. A 1000% winner or two would soften that stance however
That’s why I strongly encourage subscribers to share those premium services with each other or split the costs somehow. The price tag is too hefty for one person if you are just the average investor like most people. Sadly, those are the people they are targeting to subscribe.
“Strongly encourage,” you say? I would say “buyer beware.”
IMO, your pitch has come too late. I say such because I wonder what’s left to “share?” The ‘cats’s out of the bag,’ as they say. EF has been a failure! FMI–the marquee pick–has been the ONLY pick worth anything. The rest have not ONLY been bad picks, they have COST money.
And that pick–FMI– was free for those here at this website, last year, day 1–thanks to Travis.
Why would anyone spend money when 95% of the best advice (no matter who is the latest, greatest guru) just got clobbered today with their advice with, mind you, still more clobbering, likely, coming Monday?
I mean really. Sometimes it seems (here) the blind is leading the blind.
No thanks. PU is just fine. (Cost now about $90.00.)
Again, I like PM, but I have my own sensibilities, too. And I decidedly don’t like Banyon Hill.
I notice that one of the EF picks revealed on Nov 26 (MODN) is up 27% today.
Joseph, MODN was around 16 when Paul recommended it. It goes back to Hank’s comments that it is ok to listen to Paul but we should be careful when we buy the stock …take advantage of dips…and do not buy all at once. The other 2 stocks to monitor are CRCM and LC. If Paul is right for LC we should be buying now as it is 15-20% lower than when Paul recommended.
They are quite careful with the language. So “total” gains are indeed a total. Just add ’em up! But the “guarantee” was very specific–turn a $10000 account into $100000 in one year. Trouble is, I doubt we will have any 1000% winner even after two years. If EF beat the S&P it wasn’t by much,. When my free year is over I don’t plan to renew.
Travis,
This is Paul Mampillyโs headline for his upcoming Profits Unlimited pick to his subscribers:
โI Sold This Stock From My Own Portfolio to Give to You. My publisher does not allow us to own any stocks we write or recommend, otherwise I would kill to have this stock.โ
Wow! As a publisher and editor yourself, do you think in the world of investing this is even possible?? That someone can be so selfless that he is willing to give up his own personal gains so others can have it??:) I would argue no! If that person exists, he wouldnโt be in the stock market. He should be somewhere else doing charity work, donโt you think? Again, just food for thought…..
Many publishers have this same rule โ Itโs not selfless, itโs a policy to help reduce conflicts of interest and liability. Many are allowed to own stocks after they wrote about them, many are allowed to do anything as long as they disclose, some donโt make their policies particularly public.
I prefer the policy of allowing writers to write about stocks they own, with full and clear disclosure and strict trading rules to prevent authors from benefitting directly from any โpopโ that they cause in the stock…. but I think any reasonable and consistent rule that includes disclosure is fine.
Travis,
But again going back to your original valid comment, would Paul necessarily recommend or pick the “best” stocks to write about if he can’t invest in them himself? If you have a super great pick, wouldn’t you want to be able to reap the benefits from it by investing in it? By writing about it, in a way, he is pretty much giving away his own possible gains to his readers, which I find hard to believe. Another thing that bothers me is he blames the market makers on every single podcasts for all his services! If one of his stocks goes down, that’s the only explanation he has! It’s never a bad pick, poor judgement or bad timing on his part. He thinks the market makers have the time to go after every single stocks he recommends. What is your take on his “market makers” defense for everything that does wrong? I have a feeling he will use this “market makers excuse” defense all the way till the end of all his services….
My opinion is that โMarket Makersโ have almost no significant influence on stock prices beyond minute-to-minute movements… itโs a catch-all excuse akin to โI was earlyโ
And in general, I agree, Iโd rather let people both write about and own their favorite investments. Unless they canโt own individual stocks at all, which is also a reasonable rule that some mainstream financial media outlets follow.
I think the whole idea of forbidding someone to own stocks is silly. Don’t they just buy them for their wives, mothers, children, grandchildren, close friends, & recommend them to the waitress at the local eatery for free drinks and an occasional meal? I bet they’re pretty popular and get all sorts of discounts, which is fine. I bet it’s even kept one or two marriages together. I suppose it makes things more cumbersome, to tell your mother or girlfriend she really needs to buy you a car.
It could be true, but I don’t follow lineup predicted rules, because new rules always done on existing one or need base. after buying few shares of stock, majority shares, after studying the graph I put them 5% to 15% on lower than market price on ‘limit price’. Most of the time my order picked-up, but if the stock is very volatile then, I miss the boat.
That’s what Paul says. But if you look at multiple recommendations on different days, the stock breaks out of its trading range and increases by a bunch beginning about 20-30 minutes BEFORE he sends the e-mail with the recommendation. I have thought maybe the front-running is being done by staff in the office, making a phone call to a spouse or friend as soon as they are given copy to send out the e-mail. If Paul were doing the front-running, he would know a couple days, maybe more, before that e-mail goes out, and on the chart it would be a whole lot less obvious.
Do you guys know what the new sell side recommendations are for EF ? can somebody share that information ?
the highest paying clients, friends get the recommendation emails first, then the 2nd tier, etc. if someone complains, they’ll end up on the last tier, if at all. a guru said that on his website. also, the email client software stages them because of traffic, which is standard industry procedure, but it’s also organized as to premium paying clients first, lower next, etc.
it’s better not to complain, just ask nicely to be transferred to another newsletter that is “a better fit for my investing goals and experience.” If it’s not good, call up and do it again until you get one you like. worked for me. they really don’t want people complaining. it’s bad for business. do what you need to, to get satisfaction for your hefty subscription fee. when it’s up move on.
in the meantime take the research they reveal, just don’t necessarily follow their recommendations. take what’s given and focus on the stock sector, compare its stocks, do research, and start investing. if that’s too scary then pick an ETF or two in a sector of interest, and build from there. start small and learn along the way. it’s a lot cheaper than paying a lot of gurus for outdated or misread information.
I’m sure you all noted a couple recent recommendations for EF were already on the chopping block to sell. And why is Viveve still in the portfolio being down over 40%. And yet the marketing blitz continues. Banyan Hill and Paul Mampilly are shameless. Hope the “conference” he is attending helps to bring back some of his purported magic.
For the most part I have gotten better recommendations from my digital subscription to Barron’s, especially when ANY recommendation concerns biotech. Paul Mampilly is no biotech expert. I’ve said in the past, biotech is the toughest market of them all and, although the allure of a huge home-run is always there, its a fool’s errand to think you or anyone has found the ‘one’ stock that will prosper.
Read this week’s Barron’s for four better ideas–specifically the “Inside Scoop” column.
I reiterate that ALL PM’s recommendations come with a “buyer beware.” We all must be our own experts, too…..which kind of DEFEATS the idea of using Paul in the first place. Think about it: we’ve just been through the greatest bull market in history. Hence, my very own ideas have fared as well or better than Paul’s.
Who’s ideas wouldn’t have?
One other thing, the market has changed somewhat: the momentum thing looks like it has ended. The “Extreme Fortunes” portfolio is a disaster and now the Profits Unlimited recommendations are floundering!
On the PU front, I notice a trick PM uses. He has his picks and he has his “Special Reports” trades. It’s double speak. If the special reports suggestions work they count as a trade; if they don’t, they are not officially in the portfolio.
Which goes back to my second sentence in my third paragraph above.
Astute analysis Hank
Hank, how much is the Barron’s subscription?
I pay $223.00 for 52 digital issues. You have to read every article. I write down every stock symbol provided in every issue, sometimes w/o reading the article. Then I look at the symbol on BIG CHARTS.com to see if I can interpret the chart. If I like the chart I go back and read the article.
Of the 52 issues– which come out every Saturday –I’d say 15 weeks are truly great issues. The other 35 are so so.
There are famous economists, hedge fund people you’ve never heard of, TV columnists I’ve known from the past 40 years, etc., as well as hidden thoughts in the smaller columns that I used to ignore but no longer do so.
Everyone has to read the WSJ and Barron’s at a minimum. (I promise you Mampilly got the FMI idea from Barrons, which is where I got it from.)
Also, glance at Bloomberg’s website every day to read the headlines. Investor’s Business Daily is a good paper. The FT Financial Times out of London is at your newsstand, another good paper.
Forgot to mention: ZeroHedge.com……amazing web site. A must visit every day for real-time analysis of what the biggest banks ‘ top people are REALLY thinking about the overall economy, the stock market and their worries.
Also on Twitter follow: Urban Camel
Now the rest is up to us.
This AM’s (Sunday’s) ZeroHedge has a Goldman Report, “Where to From Here, ” providing decent insight into the broader market. This website publishes reports–those sent to their clients– faster than any I am aware of: JP Morgan, Goldman, Morgan Stanley in particular.
Worth a read for those holding any stocks whatsoever, never mind any of PM’s recommendations.
Yesterday’s Barron’s appeared to be useless.
Hank, thanks for the info on Zerohedge. I have a question for you regarding The Trade Desk TTD, which in addition to being pitched from Paul is now also being pitched from Motley Fool Stock Advisor
https://www.stockgumshoe.com/reviews/motley-fool-stock-advisor/fools-ticking-time-bomb-for-cable-tv-pitch/
I bought it at 47 and sold it at 58..BUT when I look at the graph. from October to March..do I see a Cup and Handle formation ? I am not an expert in technicals…this is why I am asking you. How can in find out the if institutions won TTD? and How can I see that the volume died out ..before the spike on Feb 22? What do you think. Is TTD going to fly from here?
Archegos
Arch, TTD is a 2-year old stock which makes technical analysis almost irrelevant. That said itโs unusual that it came all the way back so quickly after collapsing.
I donโt see any particular formation. I do see a possibility of a big move from here but that move is 50/50 regarding direction.
Keep in mind the previous high will always be a barrier. It sounds like you are very involved with this stock to the point you donโt want to โmiss out.โ
A half-sized position is best here…..at most.
That way you can play the market and adjust no matter what happens and, in the process, hopefully avoid the whipsaw.
Keeping the smaller position if the market goes down; adding if it explodes.
Good luck.
Also, how about LC and KNDI? Did he gave a sell recommendation? CRCM seems to have stabilized after ok earnings. I wonder if it has more room to grow. FMI seems to be the only good recommendation from Paul.
Good point about LC and KNDI. I’ll give him STM as his only other good recommendation but that was in a special report on PU, granted.
Another loser sell recommendation in Ormat. Happily I never bought the last 3 stocks that were sells, including Ormat. Paul’s track record is going to hell in a handbasket
Jackbob52, it goes back to what Hank keeps saying. Do not blindly buy what Paul is saying. …but do some research and decide what to do on your own.
In the case or Ormat, I saw Paul’s recommendation…and then I researched Ormat and in their reports they said that they were planning to grow bu acquisitions. I researched which other companies were in the geothermal business and I found that “U.S. Geothermal Inc. (Geo-Idaho), is engaged in the acquisition, development and utilization of geothermal resources in the Western United States and the Republic of Guatemala. ” I bought $10,000 worth of US Geothermal (stock symbol HTM) at $3.8…and a few months later…voila….Ormat bought HTM for 5.37. BINGO
Archegos
Right on and good work. I am selective in which recommendations I buy and check out other opinions and analysis as well. Many of us never new who Paul Mampilly was before the marketing blitz on STM and interestingly enough that one position is where a large part of my profit has come from. At least lately Paul is not the investment God they would have you believe he is.
What do you think about the “”New Mega Marijuana Winner” – IMLFF?
Ditto. Good work Arch.
It just so happens that FMI and STM were, by far, the largest positions which Mampilly influenced me on. Hence, I am happy with the money I have spent.
I still believe Paul is a decent man, and a hard worker. BUT at the end of the day, Paul has to spend a lot of his time marketing, writing, being on Internet TV promoting Banyon Hill etc.
There are plenty of very serious people out in the investment world that are either offering their ideas and services for free (Twitter/Internet), or there are publications which have 1000 X the following of PM offering viable ideas.
I treat ALL recommendations the same–carefully. Witness Barron’s recommendation to buy VCEL today. It’s way up! And frankly I’m not sure how to handle (now) my initial purchase. BUT anytime someone says sells BLUE for VCEL that gets my attention.
Goldman Sachs said BLUE can write their own ticket (They have a big drug likely coming.) Obviously this is a value switch.
Good luck to everyone.
Hank,
The biotech stocks are too risky for me as I do not understand the market and do not have any contacts/references to get advise. To play the biotech market I bought the ARKG ETF. Check it out. They have all the hot biotechs in their ETF. https://ark-funds.com/arkg
Weight Company Ticker
9.15% INTELLIA THERAPEUTICS INC NTLA
7.28% ILLUMINA INC ILMN
6.70% EDITAS MEDICINE INC EDIT
5.66% INVITAE CORP NVTA
3.72% ATHENAHEALTH INC ATHN
3.67% BLUEBIRD BIO INC BLUE
3.60% CELGENE CORP CELG
3.46% COMPUGEN LTD CGEN
3.46% BIOGEN INC BIIB
3.39% MEDIDATA SOLUTIONS INC MDSO
This way I do not have to worry and pick between NTLA, CSRP, or EDIT for example ..they all have the same technology…most possibly only one will be very successful. Now I own all 3 of them
Archegos
whats the new pot stock he recommended?
Any word on Mamphilly’s stock pick?
So Mampilly is at it again congratulating subscribers for 2 stocks that are double digit winners on EF which he has done before. Nothing new. And of course nothing anywhere near 1000% gains . Just sayin’
Here is why members make at least 15-30% less (if not 50-70%) than the figures presented in Paul Mampilly’s Extreme Fortunes and other portfolios.
Let’s say he issues a recommendation to buy a stock at $8. Let’s say you’re in line in a coffee shop and instantly leave the line upon receiving a “buy” recommendation and access your laptop to place an order. That is, within 30 seconds the stock may shoot up to $10.50-$11.00. So you have no choice but to purchase it for 30% more than the recorded price on his portfolio.
Now, he has a 30% stop loss policy from his recorded price, but effectively it has almost never worked as such. By the time he issues a sell recommendation, the stock is typically down some 50% from the recorded price. In this theoretical example it be be thus trading for about $4-5. By the time you get to sell your shares (within 30 seconds, if Extremely Fortunate), the stock is down by another 20-30% by the sheer selling pressure of Extreme Fortunes members. So, it is entirely likely that with your best efforts you may still lose some 70% of your capital on any given recommendation. And as every quarter he issues 5-10 sell recommendations, your aggregate losses will be a hefty sum, significantly dwindling your capital for growth.
Regarding his 1000% promise, it’s a joke! This is a portfolio that performs neither better nor worse than those of most investment gurus out there. His 1000% annual promise thinly borders fraud. It may be true (only time will tell) that a few of his picks may achieve 1000% gains over the long haul, that is 3-5 even 10 years from now, but not a single stock in his portfolio has so far given even the slightest hint that it may achieve anything resembling such growth within the promised time frame. And by the time it does, for each successful pick you will most likely have 10 losses of 50-70% of your capital, eroding your initial capital such that no 1000% growth may be able to alleviate neither your losses, nor the pain and years of constant stress experienced.
What’s the reason that this discrepancy between his stated figures and actual member performance?
He blames the members for being greedy and purchasing their shares at once, and constantly advises them against doing so. He seems to be very sincere in this, but he has failed to address the fundamental problem behind it. The problem is systemic and cannot be resolved by mere pleas. I guess no one knows other than he and his publisher, Banyan Hill, the true number of members subscribed for each portfolio. The promised limit is 1000. If true, that is already a large number that will effect the price of the stock in either direction. But who can verify it if t is 2000 or 3000? No one! If this is the case, then the unscrupulousness is on their part and not the members.
But let’s assume that it is the purported number, or less. Could be 500, and they may simply be boasting. In this case, some “members” might actually be foundations or large capital funds run by brainless and fraudulent money managers, who rather than making their own picks for their portfolios, have subscribed to his service and are pumping millions of dollars into the recommended stock (before everyone else does, perhaps having an employee or two for that purpose), and actually making money off your back and off the pockets of the members of Extreme Fortunes, True Momentum and other portfolios. It is these fellows that must be eliminated from joining the service and proscribed from doing so.
But what happens is this. Every once in a while you get a promotional blurb from Mr. Mampilly that one of his clients has made half a million dollars or some have already become millionaires. Total nonsense that aims to silence dissatisfaction! You go back to your portfolio and check the performance of every stock in it. It would be plainly IMPOSSIBLE!!! The only way this could happen is if one such “fund manager” or an idiot full of money not knowing what to do with it chose to allocate half a million dollar in one particular stock, and it so happens that only that stock goes up by 100-200%. This means, that this fellow is in defiance of Paul Mampilly’s rules to more or less equally allocate your funds for each stock in the portfolio. If you consider that the overall portfolio has perhaps 10% loss or a 10-15โ gain in the mentioned time-frame, let’s assume the latter is the case, then this person must have invested 10 million in that stock to make an additional million. All this is so improbable that Paul Mampilly’s laudatory and pompous statements on the success of such so called members no doubt causes a wave of irony throughout the membership.
Is he willing to identify and expel such people from the service? Unlikely, given the fact he bases his “success” on these very people who are the cause of the losses of all the members of both in Extreme Fortunes and True Momentum and Profits Unlimited.
I have followed Extreme Fortunes carefully through this site. I am aware of many (most?) of the EF picks. I am a MEMBER of Profits Unlimited, too, from its inception. And for the record, I have been a professional in the business of stocks for over 40 years in many different ways but, most importantly, in a crucial way–technical analysis.
I will say this: Paul Mampilly has come down to earth. He has shown–at least to me– he is no better than me. I will also say (still) he is a decent guy, still a person worth following, but not a person paying much for advice.
His picks have not been that stellar for half a year now, everywhere. (Some of his picks I have completely ignored. Like: Are you kidding?) IMO, Paul’s “trading” has been even worse than his picks. From my experience, trading, which is another word for execution, is what makes people rich.
Execution is what makes the difference and that difference can’t be bought. In other words if Extreme Fortunes cost you 3000 bucks and his next offer, let’s say ‘Super Fortunes’ cost $10,000 because, ostensibly this “offer” will be the best in world history, you won’t be getting (buying) what you need.
Learning how to “execute” is what you need and PM will NOT provide you with that intangible.
So buyer beware. It’s not Paul’s fault that he can’t provide you with this needed service. But he can’t.
As for TaMoKi, he is also very right. (See above.)
I was/am a CHARTER Member in EF, and to add insult to injury I paid another $3,000 to be a lifetime subscriber. O wa ta foo liam! I had been in Profits Un for a while, and it seemed like it was going well. So I thought Mampilly would deliver. TaMoKi, you NAILED it! Every month I spew the same indictments you so eloquently described. I still don’t know what I can do to escape this Sisyphus ordeal, but seeing it exposed in an open forum is therapeutic. If Banyan Hill had any scruples they would admit that Mampilly did have a winning dance card, but smallcap stocks are just too susceptible to even moderate trading volumes. OK, swallow the pill and close EF to new members! But Banyan Hill is in the newsletter business not the integrity business. So they regularly campaign for more unsuspecting members and further exacerbate the problem. Despicable! THANK YOU, TaMoKi ! ! !
I disagree with Hank who still thinks Paul Mampilly is a โdecentโ person. If he has one shred of human integrity or dignity, he would NOT be still promoting the service. He still tries to get every opportunity possible to get more subscribers in. He is just a money hungry whore, despite all his BS about โnot fittingโ in Wall St.
I canโt believe that people actually think thereโs a โlimitโ on the number of members for EF. There is NO limit! They will take whoever is willing to give them $3,000! The more the merrier!
I think a fun thing to do is for all the subscribers to call their credit card company and dispute the subscription charge because in a way, they are all frauds and scammers anyway! Give them some headaches and make them do some actual real work!:)
I will say this to EFtrader:
I, personally, would never allow my pictureto be pasted all across the Internet, nor would I be a public shill……not for ANY amount of money. As I wasn’t brought up that way–I was taught to be private–I wouldn’t trade Mampilly’s money–money which is surely much more than mine–in return for the way he has partly acquired his.
So on this point, EFtrader and I agree.
I also know how hard stock trading is; how easy such a business makes a fool out of those who try, and how thankless the job is dispensing advice.
So on this second count, we all must not get suckered into giving money to those that say they’ve got an answer. I look for information/interviews of guys like Stanley Druckenmiller. There are guys, like SD, who became billionaires trading and became famous afterwards (not before) because they actually did it right.
I find whenever you see interviews from some of the real hedge guys–usually in Barrons–they’ll tell you exactly what they are doing, where they think its going, and why.
So still have to read charts though.
Hank, what do you suggest that we do with FMI? Should we sell it at 137 now that Roche bought the rest of the stake? Or will Roche allow FMI to be traded as a separate stock and there might be more growth for FMI? regards Archegos
Arch, I read that BOTH boards approved the sale and that it’s a cash deal which, subject to further review, means this stock will no longer exist. I also see that this buyout is expected to happen this year. At the moment I’m doing nothing YET as I plan on double checking all of this. (I’m in no hurry.)
I don’t see any upside though and I don’t see how another company can get involved with another bid.
It’s a nice day for us all, especially with the market down 400 or so. This is how its done. And with our profits lets find NOW another quality stock that just might be getting killed today.
We can all do this together………on this site.
As for Paul Mampilly, this recommendation–FMI– is his only solid recommendation, IMO. The others recommendations are often obfuscated as “special report trades” or the like, as a way to cover his tracks. In other words, what’s really in Paul’s recommended portfolio(s) is always a big question.
We all should thank Stock Gumshoe/Travis for tracking this information down on Day 1. Even though Travis expressed his skepticism, he provides a great service to his community.
Needless to say, execution is always the key and it is always up to us to learn ‘how’ to execute. I’ll be honest. I’ve owned 3000+ shares of Merck for the past 8 years and I am up around $70,000. This much smaller investment in FMI–both in money and shares (1100)– netted me $115,000 IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS!
It has to be my best [stock] trade ever. (I’ve had a couple of moments in futures.)
Finally, I would never be able to make a profit in anything without my decades-long experience looking at charts. Reading the charts can be tricky but I swear the charts repeat patterns to a TEE if you can find whats hidden between the lines.
Not that fundamentals aren’t part of everything, as well.
Hank, thank you for the quick response. I will hold to FMI then till we get clarity. I started reading Barron’s about 6 months as you recommended and it is worth it. All the recommendations/articles they have about companies are right on the money. I bought ROKU and I like them very much. I am now looking at PETX (medicine for animals). On a separate topic, how can I learn about “technicals”? i,e how to read graphs to understand the cup and handle and other formations? What tools do you use to see the graphs? I have an Etrade account but do not know how to look at graphs. I just finished reading “How to Make Money in Stocks: A Winning System in Good Times and Bad, Fourth Edition
O’Neil, William J., McGraw-Hill” and I got the IBD app on my iphone…and in general I get good ideas about stocks in buying range…but I still would like to understand how to read the charts and tools to use. regards Archegos
Arch,
I am self taught and it cost me A TON of time. In the old days I was the only person in the office that kept charts (I did it by hand.) Most people read books; at home, I read charts. You can start by using BigCharts.com and Barchart.com as these two sites keep up-to-date information, intraday, and its available for all for us, for free.
Every chart you need is contained in those two sites.
I’m not sure I want to give away too much information. That said, you can look for a pattern in any weekly chart. Look for the last big rise or drop off and see if you can see a CURRENT pattern in development that matches (in disguise) what just previously happened……like last year.
However, you HAVE TO catch the turn for anything to work. It makes no difference if you are trading FMI or pork bellies, all ‘investments’ are always repetitive. Again, you have to catch a true starting point.
For the record, FMI was at an obvious bottom–turning point. [Check it out.]
TaMoki, Hank, and EFTrader,
It’s a breath of fresh air to see that people do speak out about what is right and what is wrong! My friend, an Extreme Fortunes (EF) subscriber, is down 50-70% on all recommended stocks and was given another year “free of charge” because Paul Mampilly did not have one winner. And, to date he still does NOT have a winner but sends out marketing emails stating that he has made millionaires with his EF strategy! So, Banyan Hill is still trying to suck members in all false pretenses and increase the number of EF Subscribers.
I get marketing emails from Banyan Hill because I am a Profit Unlimited (PU) subscriber. And, like you’ve mentioned in your comments, it’s impossible to enter a trade at Paul’s “buy zone” price. So, from the very beginning you are down from the model portfolio actual earnings. There are other subscribers like me who are trying to make sense out of the entire ordeal so I’m grateful for your comments.
One thing that I’ve learned is that the Profit Unlimited trade emails are not received at the same time. I only have three data points so far but can tell you that the PU trade alert on 4/24 for the “sports fashion retailer” were received hours apart. Yes, three of the PU subscribers in the same compared notes and what we found was that we received the alerts at different times: 12pm, 2:10pm and 3:16pm.
Do any of you know why this is happening and have you experienced the same thing? It would seem to me that there is something wrong with this system.
EllieMae, I once noticed a 30 minute delay between the text alert and the respective email. That’s nothing like 2 hours of course, but am I the only one who hasn’t gotten the announcement email at all? After all the build-up for the last revelation, on Friday, April 27, 2018, I received the alert text at 12:49 PM CDT and NEVER got the revelation email. NOT in Junk folder. NOT in Deleted folder. Expired?…I’m the sap who threw in another $3,000 for LIFETIME EF subscription. I emailed Banyan Hill that day, but if they ever respond it will be the first time. TODAY… was there another revelation today, April 30, 2018? I got an alert at 11:49 AM CDT, and at 1:00 PM still no revelation. I DID get 2 invitations to the Total Wealth Summit, though. :((
Joe,
I would suggest calling Banyan Hill tomorrow because emails are note often answered. Yes, there was another revelation today, 4/30/18. You paid way too much money to be ignored! By the way, you won’t see me at the Total Wealth Summit even though they have extended the offer:) Perhaps more people will provide feedback on their experience with timing tomorrow…
Lost count how many times I’ve emailed without a response, and I mean not even once has anyone responded. They will answer if you call but don’t ask any sophisticated questions. People on phones are lackeys. If you have been in EF for a year, demand another year free as promised when renewal time comes up. Because performance was so dismal they honored the promise without having to jump through hoops.
Won’t be renewing next year unless miraculously there are multiple 1000% winners. Not bloody likely!
they all do it. it’s so they can control the price better for their higher $ clients, friends, so they can short, etc. if you don’t personally know them do your own research
Paul Mampillys Extreme Fortunes is a SCAM. I have had it for two years and I have bought everything he has recommended and I have lost 60% of my money. He teases you in as the stocks drop then within days to a week the stocks get killed by shorts. I would have made more money shorting his Extreme Fortunes recommendations. I am reporting him and his company to the Securities and Exchange commission.
Extremely Disappointed!
SEC…jw, tell me how to report them and I’ll pile on, too!
Here is the link for SEC reporting. Everyone should do their part to help clean out some of these society’s parasites.
https://www.sec.gov/tcr
I can’t speak for JWColes, but here is my experience with reporting Banyan Hill/Extreme Fortunes to the SEC.
I couldn’t find a place to file a complaint so I just used their email form for general questions or comments that was on their website. About a week later, I received a response. In short, they said,
The SEC processes many complaints.
They keep records in a searchable database.
If they have questions they’ll contact you.
They won’t tell you if they are investigating them, though. They want to sneak up on them.
It was a painless experience, and I think the only way to spare other folks from this scam is for more victims to log their complaints with the SEC (https://www.sec.gov/tcr).
Any luck with reporting Paul Mampilly and Banyan Hill to the SEC? I really hope he gets arrested and put behind bars. I am mad not only because I lost a lot of money, but more importantly it’s really a total scam. For me at least it’s money I can afford to lose, but I am sure there are a lot of folks out there who lost their life savings on it! They need to lock this SOB up for good!
i joined his service in in April and i am doing well. did i get lucky.
EFTrader or any else,
Email me at A1959Dave@aol.com about your Team. Former broker, full time option trader. I read lots of scripts – Stansberry, Banyan Hill (only Yastine) etc. I buy equities but pretty much sell options off the picks . As I read the comments on this thread and others people are still going predominately long. A trader/speculator can watch all the technical indicators, S/R , MA’s and will still get crushed at some point with the weight of 10,000 deltas when the the market corrects even 5 or 8%. Simple rule I use – don’t just sell put spreads like a lot of these subscriptions advocate.
Even in a great bull market some companies are losing. Yes 3 out of 4 stocks go with the market but at the very least hedge with some short ETF positions out of money. LEAPS if the the IV is low.
Paul Mampilly is NOT Paul Mampilly!
The true face of Paul Mampilly was revealed when he brought a subordinate assistant to manage two of his services. While I have no prejudice against a novice trying to attain a footing in the highly competitive stocks industry, it is your capital which is at stake here. Not everyone is born to be a money manager, and certainly not everyone has the art and skills necessary to manage other people’s money, particularly when they lack adequate management and communication skills. If Paul Mampilly himself is barely adequate for his job, this subordinate would require a decade of managerial experience to be trusted. He was managing Paul Mampilly’s Options service, and with his 4-5 initial trades obliterated 80% of my capital. Needless to say, even if he manages to have some gains possibly no one would benefit from them. I assume that practically no one is following his recommendations. If he reduces your capital from $10K to $2K, then to recuperate that you need to have 500% gains in a row of subsequent trades. A practical impossibility. As you may lose the remainder of your capital also, you would perhaps never go back to his recommendations, even if he achieves 10 baggers, which is obviously not the case.
To add insult to injury, Paul Mampilly has made this guy the manager of his newest service, his $10 Million Portfolio, another possible scam in a string of unsuccessful portfolios. A ray of hope appeared earlier this year when Rick Pendergraft joined to manage this Portfolio, but it soon fizzled as he left the service within weeks (possibly because he discovered stuff not to his liking). Since then, this subordinate has been asked to manage this portfolio also. Buyer beware!
There seems to be a very definite difference between this guy’s and Paul Mampilly’s trade strategies. All you will hear from this fellow is “buy this, sell that; sell this buy that.” At least that’s the impression he has left on me. Out of the goodness of his heart, Paul Mampilly is trying to promote this guy. Yet he’s doing it at your expense and at the cost of your capital. It seems now this guy has silently been managing all of Paul Mampilly’s portfolios. So when you have a string of orders to buy or to sell, they are most likely coming from this fellow. Unless Paul Mampilly fires this guy and assumes full practical responsibility for his services, there may not be a way of assessing his true merits. The buy recommendations are extremely poorly researched. The sell recommendations are often made haphazardly. It is one thing to make a mistake or two or three as a money manager, and another to make 50 mistakes, causing the obliteration of 50% of the client’s initial capital. I don’t know of any money manager more than half of whose trade recommendations are utter disasters.
Again, buyer beware!!!
Well, it’s about time. Paul finally hit something big for EF and TM.
I, along with a few like minded individuals have formed a small group where we share all the pricey, premium subscriptions. We also discuss trades, share ideas, experiences and give feedbacks on what we learned as we conquer the stock market. Currently, we have access to almost every single “premium” subscriptions out there. The only 2 we are missing is the 10 Million dollar portfolio and the Rapid Profit Trader. If anyone has these subscriptions and would like to join our “Dream Team” group, please let me know.
Thanks and happy trading!
Irregular, I may be interested in joining your Dream Team. I have been considering getting in the RPT. Please reach out to me.
Thank you!
Hi Lisa,
Thanks for your interest. Currently, our “Dream Team” group has almost every premium subscriptions from Banyan Hill publishing including Paul and Ian Dyer’s Rapid Profits Trading. At the moment, the only 2 we are missing from this publishing company are the $10 Million Dollar Portfolio and Chap Shoop’s Quick Hit Profits. Someone just contacted me a few days ago about possibly signing up for the $10 Million Dollar Portfolio to join our group, so maybe the only premium subscription we need from this company might be just the Quick Hit Profits. You can email me EFtrader2017@gmail.com to discuss if you want.
And yes, the Rapid Profits just released an option trade today on Tesla, maybe that’s why it got everyone’s attention?
Hope you can join our group and make it a win-win for everyone involved!
You are most welcomed and Happy Trading!
Still need 10 million dollar portfolio?
I just got a “lifetime subscription” to Mampilly’s Profits Unlimited for $397 plus a yearly membership fee of $4.95 because I’m such a wonderful human being. I recently retired at 60, and am trying to learn everything I can about the market. I now study finance 6-7 hours a day, 6 days a week. Until now I had (still have, for my 401k account) active money managers, but the fees are over 3% and while they have doubled my 401k in under 8 years (with a no-loss guarantee), they fell apart this year. I’m stuck with that for life, but I want to understand what drives markets. So-I’d love to join a discussion or group of like-minded people, and I’m willing to subscribe to whatever is missing in return. I will say that after watching the market implode over the last few days I took Mampilly’s advice from a special report on tech he believes will drive the IoT, blockchain, GPU/CPU companies, etc.; and late this afternoon invested about 28k in 4 of his 6 recommendations. By the time I figured out how to use Fidelity’s new Active Trader and input my buys it was 3:58. By 4:15 I was up about $800 and with after hours trading it finally settled at a $1200 profit. So at this moment I am a big fan of Mampilly. Let’s see how I feel on Monday.
I’m glad you cherry picked. I was stunned recently to revisit the PU website to see how many of his picks have been losers and, mind you, those losses don’t honestly register the entire loss as Paul gets the best in/out price for each one and that is a lot of money right there!
What I have determined is Paul is not much better at this game than I am and, further, he makes exactly the same mistakes I have. His penchant for expensive stocks has not worked, IMO.
In any event, a PU subscription can’t hurt.
I’d be interested to hear how people feel about the other programs, how they are doing and which one (method) in particular has done better than the others. From what I have gathered, they are all about the same.
Agree Hank. His recommendations often come after the stock has already made a big move. I often do the opposite of his recommendations.
Glad to know U R happy !
Move your 401k to Vanguard. The fees are extremely low. Google it.
I Have $10 M, EF, PU and TM.. PU is both the least expensive and the best. I’d be pleased to join your “Dream Team”
SirMaxwell.TW@gmail.com
My name is Kevin. I would love to join your “Dream Team”. I currently have Extreme Fortunes (2 years as of 2/25/2019) and Profits Unlimited (Lifetime membership).
I am member of Extreme Fortune, the first stock was given by Paul in February 2017, since then until now 42 stocks have been given, 16 dropped due to non performing, 26 so far kept. we are not sitting on gambling table. we have to use paul guideline for investing and also use our brain. if we take out the loss factor of dropped stocks, still we are 30% ahead, most of the stocks are doing well but recently FMI added over 524% & EOLS added over 169% in profit beside that other stocks are also doing well.
Paul is not the ‘Fortune-Teller’, he does fantastic analysis to pick out the stocks in Extreme Fortunes, now it’s on us how to use his expertise with patience, knowledge & our capital budget.
I second all that you said. PM is so much more comprehensive and I always learn something every time he sends his podcasts/articles. People are so quick to criticize and they want it all done for them. If you are opposed to PM stock recommendations you should get out now. As he always states, the market doesnโt ever go up in a straight line. I have received and read many different offerings for other subscriptions and this one is much more informative. I do own a subscription for the Motley Fool and they donโt come close to Paul Mampilly/Banyan Hill subscriptions in terms of information and teaching. Not saying that Motley Fool is bad, just that PM is so much more research driven and teaches the ins and outs of the market. I also had a one month trial to Zackโs portfolios and they didnt teach me anything. All they did was send top recommendations. Iโm interested in knowing โwhyโ to put money into investing. I am looking to be educated on a company and the direction they are going. Not just, โbuy this stockโ. I own all the PM portfolios for life (Inner Circle member) and have to say, if you look at all the portfolios purchase dates to the current dates prices, many are up significantly. So many of his stock picks are up triple digits. If you are looking for instant gratification of your investment a lottery ticket may suit you better. Stocks take time to build wealth. In some cases many years. Amazon was once a $15 stock. We all know the story. It took 20 years to where itโs at now.
It’s the relentless marketing that I don’t like.
Maybe i’ve been lucky also…I’ve done well and i cheked the entire portfolio today and of the open positions, 23 are up (or were before today) and one (1) is down. Of the closed trades 11 were closed with losses (relatively small – around 10% ) and 8 were closed up, including up 60%, up 90%, up 50% and up 36%
I’m neutral on all of this stuff but i wanted to respond to the posts that said it was all worthless and he did not post any winners.”
Good luck out there!
Paul M has a new service, $10 MM Portfolio… this Thurs he is going to release a pick for a tiny tech โoff-the-radarโ company that owned 40% of a 1st gen pc technology, and is set to dominate 2nd gen mobile technology. He thinks it will be โthe one stock that kills Apple.โ Do you have any idea what it is, or how to find out?
(Reply to Small Fish Big Pond) -: AMD: Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (Analyst Prediction : 77,000%) All research of stock & predictions no one can give guarantee.
Thx AA! How confident are you… 90%? Makes sense from the details he shared in his message.
Small Fish Big Pond – AMD was a Profits Unlimited special report:
Blockchain Fortunes: The Company at the Cusp of a 77,400% Windfall
I don’t know that it is the recommendation you were looking for from the $10 MM Portfolio. Let us know if you find out more.
Yes its not AMD, email me if you are interested at sriram.vj@gmail.com
PM is an outrageous front runner. Early mornings when his reports come out around 10 to 10:30 or 11 AM the stock has been going up like crazy at the opening, 9:30 AM and settles or lowers in the afternoon. Pump and Dump anyone ?
That’s where technical analysis comes to play. Sometimes a stock is nothing more than a sucker’s play. Sometimes a stock is moving up because it’s Day 1 of a large move. But you are likely right about front running. Even though PM can’t “trade,” there are ways to do so……many different ways.
On his website you can check for the mo they report at any time, including the night before he sends it out via email. ;).
that’s not the only one. they all work that way. especially when the writers move on to different newsletter companies. I’m an editor by trade and I also catch a lot of misinformation in them all. not worth the money. just copy and paste their “special phrases” in a search engine and you’ll find the stock info somewhere else & symbol. it’s more fun that way. or you can just come here and save yourself a lot of time. better that than your money.
oh and whatever they accuse another service doing, that’s because they recognize it. pot calling the kettle black. watch out for those teaching day trading, shorting, options trading, forex etc. do some searches on these and you’ll find out you’re better doing your own research, trading small to start to learn it well. most of them are selling courses because they don’t really make $ trading and/or don’t give you their prized stocks they make trades on.
