I found Brad’s service through Stock Gumshoe and joined since Jan 2021. I have learned so much from Brad and other Club members. I have closed 70 trades with no losses. Sure, there are some still requiring repairs but this is the beauty of his approach – showing, teaching and managing the repair process. Compared to the one-time lifetime membership fee , I have made 25X so what is there to complain when I previously had only 1 year of options experience after joining another service for twice the fee and hardly learning much except being like a robot executing trade instruction without fully comprehending what I was doing. Brad is a great teacher, he has fantastic materials with loads of examples and the community helps one another out. I cannot be more pleased and I need not look further for another service.
Like many others, I found Brad Castro’s options service through Stock Gumshoe. I have not been disappointed. I love the philosophy of never losing on a trade. I love the handholding I can get in the discussion group. I love Brad’s emphasis on safety. I find the discussions of investor psychology very helpful ( I am a psychiatrist). I began using the clubs principles the month before Covid in 2020. By the end of the year I had made about 17% annualized. Last year I made 37% annualized.
Hi! found brad’s newsletter through stock gumshoe. I would like to join the group but it says that enrollment is currently closed and is by invitation only. Can anybody advice me on how I can still join/ or can anybody invite me to the group?
Thank you. =)
Brad opens it up for a limited time to few people and I like that bc he really tries to help the new people that come in and there are volumes of well written information to guide one as they learn. Info i free on the site and if you do some reading and request an invitation, I’m sure Brad will send you an invite eventually. I’ve been with him for 2 years and personally seen 4 losses in about 90 trades.

If you go ahead and sign up for his free newsletter or educational mailings, he will then let you when the quarterly window opens to add new subscribers. It will be worth the wait.
I have just come across Brad Castro’s website and I am encouraged by his unglitzy website and his apparent down to earth, commonsense approach. I would like to sign up to the Leveraged Investment Club but it is currently closed to new members. This makes me a bit suspicious, because all of the hucksters out there claim to limit membership as a way of getting people to pay through the nose. Are these suspicions justified? Also, can anyone tell me what it costs to become a member?
Brad really does limit the number of members in the Leveraged Investing Club. Since completion of the courses comes with membership in the discussion forum, and he monitors and responds to conversations in the forum, I can imagine it would be really hard to keep up with.
Membership has grown, the forum has gotten much busier in the past few years. But since all of us on the forum have taken the courses and have a shared set of principles and knowledge, the other members are really helpful. I was an early joiner and it was exactly what I was looking for.
I don’t keep up with all the conversations any more, but I still read and always check out the club trade recommendations. I join a lot of them. Brad is definitely exactly how he presents himself- no hard sales. Join his online mailing list and he’ll let you know next time he opens up memberships.
Before I plunked down my membership fee, I pestered Brad with questions for two years. He was really patient with me! When I retired from my public education job, I actually started a Novice Investors program for people who needed someone like me to teach them the terminology and fundamentals before they started investing in options. I refer people to Brad after they finish my courses.

How do you find your courses?
I really focus on novices. I recently put my adult classes on Udemy and have just started teaching teens at Outschool. Here are my two websites (Saylor Financial Fundamentals and Solterra Way Cottage School) https://www.saylorfinancialfundamentals.com/, https://www.solterrawaycottageschool.com/
Patricia (or any member of Brad’s service) — Do you know if Brad has sent his newsletter out recently? I was receiving them, then a couple of months ago, it stopped. I tried to reach out, but have not received a response.
Apologies for reaching out like this, but this seemed to be the only alternative.
