Quite simple to use after the initial learning curve. This service is useful if you read the guides they provide you, if not, you might run into issues.

Usually if you subscribe to a free service you usually get hammered with offers every week. I tried their free service for roughly 15 months and was generally impressed with their work. I signed up for the premium service about 7 weeks ago, and the experience so far has been pleasant.

Short and Sweet.

I am loyal to services that are low on hype and deliver results. I have been a subscriber for almost two years indicating that I am satisfied with their service.

What a lovely experience; customer service is excellent as the previous reviewers stated. I needed to cancel my subscription due to changes which will affect my access to the markets for the next 3 months. The process was smooth, simple and easy. This is what I expect from every merchant i deal with but most merchants fail to deliver. I can guarantee that I will be back the moment my circumstances change. I have nothing to add on the overall service other than their calls are good, and their market insights are extraordinary.

One day, I am going to write a full article on Medium about Sol Palha, this mythical figure of investment. But for now, this will have to do.

During the last quarter of 2018, I wasn’t doing so well with the stock market, so I decided to get some help. I came across an article by Sol and it really caught my attention. I had never subscribed to any financial (or other) advice service but I decided to give it try, simply because the article was so illuminating. Every few weeks I would get an update from Sol and Tactical Investor, which first discusses Sol’s investment strategy, his analysis of the current market, and then finishes with some specific recommendations on stocks. When I started following him, I did follow his specific investment recommendations, but slowly, I realized what was more important was his investment theory of mass psychology and technical analysis. Based on his theory, I devised my own investment picks and asked for his feedback. His replies have always been very helpful, and I made a small fortune since the last quarter of 2018. Just today I closed one option play that I devised using his theory- I made a 119% profit in 2 months.

If a person is serious about becoming an effective investor, he needs to learn to manage his emotions (e.g. fear & euphoria), and Sol does a very fine job showing us how. I sincerely wish you will profit as much as I have from corresponding with Sol, and the financial profit is only the beginning. If you read his work carefully you will also learn to be a better person- calmer, wiser, and happier. I often go back to reread his emails and market updates. It is too bad that our school systems don’t teach us these valuable lessons.

2021 UPDATE: I did a test. I set up three investment accounts: one I follow Tactical Investor’s directions, one I follow my own device, and one I just leave along and not do anything. The one that followed their advice made the most money. The one I left along second. And so of course the one with my own device came in last. But like Sol always said, live and learn, and don’t make the same mistakes again. This year (2021), I am just going to put in automatic trades according to the TA plays so I don’t even have to look at my account anymore. I am going to focus on things I like doing more. They can do the investment work, that’s what I paid for. Looking back, I could have made much more money by just following their advice, but that’s how the ego is, it likes to “try new things”, “do it its own way.” While I didn’t lose money, I could have much more.

Hey ace bach, you seem pleased with the service. What do you mean by “automatic trades”? Is there an automated service? Or you do you mean just executing the trade advice exactly as provided?

Been a subscriber for 4 months and while all the other newsletters I pay for were talking about all sorts of negative scenarios, Sol and his group focussed on stating that we should embrace the pullback. I purchased several futures contracts on the Dow and SPX on the 7th of August and in just one day walked with a small fortune.

I also purchased many of the stocks on their list and many of them are already showing small gains just after one day of holding them. I love the way they use risk to reward models to calculate entry points. They never open a position at market price and this feature I like a lot as it provides me with the option to get in at a much better price.

As for customer service, it as good as stated in many of the reviews listed here.

A subscriber for 6 months. 80% of the stock picks are winners. I closed two positions out for gains of 60% and 40%. On the options wins of over 100%, one lost of 80%, one loss of 40%, 3 open positions, average gain 40%. Impressed with the results so far and have made enough to pay for over 10 years worth of subscriptions.

The service is great and when you combine the ETF trend trader, the market update, and the options service, this is one of the cheapest and best services out there. I have managed to save 900 a year on subscriptions alone by joining this service. I am also very happy with the results over 75% of my stocks are in the black and several are at the break even point. I expect them to trend upwards fro here so my win ratio should improve even more.

Subscriber for 9 months. Very good customer service, with a fast response rate. Performance is what i expected which was good after reading 9 articles on their site. The best part that I liked was that they teach you to invest as opposed to just leaving you in the dark. So you can follow their picks or you the data they provide to create your own list of stocks.

I just posted a comment. It’s waiting to get approved. But overall I was impressed with their call. They basically told us to use the sell off to load up on key stocks and I listed some of the stocks, and they all trading significantly higher especially PJT, and GOOGL.

I put in all the necessary time (which is really not that much) to go through all the suggested material they provide. Once you go through that you get a firm understanding of how they operate. Most of it’s common sense stuff but their style is unique. And boy do they provide you with lots of useful information. I was impressed and shocked with the amount of data I was given.

The personal touch surprised me. I am a novice trader probably as green as they come. Mabel prepared a document for me with a list of videos to watch that covered topics like how to buy a stock, how to use stops, limit stops, how to get into options, etc. She also provided me with a list of books to read and went out of her way to find free PDF versions of some of them, one that comes to mind is popular delusions by Charles Mackey. I am here for just a month so has not traded anything yet as I am still learning. However, I examined many past issues going all the way to 2016 and their performance and timing is quite spectacular. Will write a follow-up report in a few months.

I’d like to know the focus of the newsletter. Is it long term steady growth? Short term gains? Dividend stocks? Individual stocks, ETFs, mutual funds or a combo? Thanks for anyone who can share!

I am subscriber for 6 months. First of all their call on the Coronavirus hysteria was nothing short of amazing. Instead of panicking they told us to load up on quality stocks especially stocks in the AI sector. I made a over 30% on some of my holdings in over very short period of time; less than 4 weeks.

In terms of their strategy they base it on trends and that is what I like; they don’t stick to a sector just because it looks good. They determine the trend and then look for the best stocks in that sector. They have several portfolios so there is something for everyone. As they are still offering the ETF trend trader as a bonus I opted for the market update service. In this service I focus on the Main trend portfolio (focus is long term) and the ETF trend Portfolio. I will soon start to look at some higher risk plays such as options but will only use funds from profits earned. Overall I am very impressed with the amount of work they put into each update and with their analysis.

Thank you Lucas for your response and your breakdown. As I was researching their service a little more, I came upon the Tactical Investor website. That’s the same people, right?

I took the trial subscription and I was particularly impressed with the way they handled the covid19 crash/sell off. Almost all the other newsletters I subscribed to were clueless, most recommended shorting while others were beating around the bush. Sol and his crew called this a monumental buying opportunity and issued buys on several play. I followed the advice and bought GOOGL, INTC, AMOT, PJT, etc. all those stocks took off. All i can is that it took guts to make this call and they were basically pounding the table in the midst of the sell off.

I was initially thinking of signing up for their ETF service, but when you sign up for this service they give you the ETF service for free, so the market update costs you only 175 more, which IMHO is a great deal.

Thanks to Stockgumshoe I am now subscribed to the TI. After reading through previous market updates and portfolios I became very confused. The entry prices are well below the market prices of their recommendations. This is true even during the march selloff. Can anyone explain how to execute their recommendations?

I could try to answer but i do not want to confuse you even more with a not appropriate explanation. I had the same doubts. I wrote an email to them . I suggest you to send them a mail with your questions: you will get a clear explanation in a couple of days.

Tactical Investor is superb. When I signed up two years ago my trading was awful compared to now. I literally got rid of my emotions and what a difference this had made on my lifestyle especially. If you just read what is sent out, it’s very straightforward. A lot of people appear to skim or not read the market updates correctly. I will definitely be a lifer with this subscription. I’ve been a part of other services before, but this is the best and only service I subscribe to now and plan to going forward. Best investment I made was with TI!

Tactical Investor’s Market Update service is one of the most credible, knowledgeable and results-show-for-themselves source of stock investment on the internet. Unless you’re able to make friends with top-tier stock investors who’re able to advise you multiple times a month on your stock investment strategies and tactical decisions, they’re the best go-to source to consider. Try out their trial month service first if you’re not convinced.

One of the best investment subscription in terms of value. There is very little hype though the performance has been great.

Sol and his team provide solid recommendations and service is prompt and friendly. They not only wants to provide recommendations, but to open your eyes to the different world view points.

What is even better are the discussions in the private forum. These discussions go beyond the usual stock talks.

I just renewed my 1st year annual subscription without any hesitation.

Thank you Stock Gumshoe for pointing me to Strategic Investors !

Probably the best service for the best price. I have tried and still am a subscriber of many newsletters, but this is the one that gives the best results. Including many much higher priced ones. This year alone, I have made 67.44% to date, following Sol’s thorough instructions. Yes, it takes a little getting use to his system, JT in the end is very easy to follow.
