“Money and Markets is a free daily investment newsletter from Martin D. Weiss and Weiss Research analysts offering the latest investing news and financial insights for the stock market, including tips and advice on investing in gold, energy and oil.”

I have been a subscriber since early 2009 and have found the commentary interesting, straightforward, and quite relevant on past, present and future market trends.

ALL,

PLEASE STOP HERE!!! Please look at the reviews for “MILLION-DOLLAR CONTRARIAN PORTFOLIO” on this website for the real truth about Martin Weiss and company. This free newletter is just an advertisement for a more expensive money losing venture!!! BEWARE NEW MEMBERS, MARTIN WILL DESTROY YOUR WEALTH!!! Martin is just a marketing machine with a lot of hype. This free newsletter cost me dearly and I don’t want this to happen to anyone else.

He has some interesting views but he cannot execute a profitable trade. Just read all of the members that lost on his Million Dollar Contrarian Portfolio and Crises ETF. The only crises was me purchasing his picks through his high paid subscriptions. Please don’t let his sincere notes/emails pursuade you, that is part of the marketing ploy.

Totally wrong. Listened to these guys & totally missed the upswing. Total doomers & gloomers who underestimated the power of controlled government / media / banks & the power to print money (by all nations)& be held unacountable. Remember to big to fail & the power of greed! Bad news means nothing if the trend is up. Play the trends & the hype! Reality doesn’t count anymore as long as people can convince other people to pay more for what they bought for!

The free letter is sometimes interesting to read. I subscribed to the Million $ Contrarian Portfolio for two years (about $2500) and was extremely disappointed. I actually made some money by being anti-contrarian and investing in some of the things they said to avoid, like Silver. Don’t waste your time or money with this crowd.

Please look at this FREE of charge this tells the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth!
Martin WEISS is as it says “a conman” he and his employees are money making machines that never ever tell the truth about their trade results.

I subscribed to Money and Markets in 2012, when Nilus Mattive was its editor. Some notable points about the Newsletter.
1) Performance: The investment advise of money and markets is ever-tinged with a mentality of ‘gloom and doom’ . I lost count of the number of advisories that I received from them that essentially proclamied, “the world is about to fall apart”, and buy these defensive positions. Every turn at the Euro crisis last year, was guaranteed to receive a letter, advising me to get into defensive positions, e.g., buy long dated inverse ETFs such as EUO, that all lost money. Their stock picking ability was mediocre. The main problem with this newsletter was that they did not acknowledge their duds. There was not any justification of why they made their recommendations or what was the criteria that allowed them to pick their stock. They did not provide risk ratings for the individual stocks, and provide red-flags that the reader should watch out for. If they had provided such information for each of their picks, then their subscribers can make an informed decision, about the stock based on individual risk tolerance, and set up appropriate exit points. In my view, the newsletter, only tried to appear to subscribers to have some knowledge (secret sauce) about the company. This is very misleading to an average investor. When their picks turned to duds repeatedly, they would simply move on to the next pick. Their performance was terrible.
2) Information value of the newsletter: If there was one redeeming thing about this (and other Weiss) newsletter, it is this. If there was any obscure scenario by which financial armageddon could happen, you could find it in their bulletin. Some of the articles were quite educational, and makes you aware of possible connections through which catastrophic failure can occur in an increasingly complex financial world. Personally, it has made me more humble about my presumptions about the irrationality of financial markets.
3) Their customer service was good. I called in to cancel and the subscription was cancelled. I did not have any other reason to call them.
To sum up, it is a perma-bear newsletter, with mediocre stock picking ability, and one that does not provide its subscribers’ the rationale behind their choices. This approach precludes the subscribers to make an informed judgement about the risk/reward of any specific pick.

I just do not understand why Martin Weiss and his gang of liars and crooks are not all locked up. Now he is giving away 12 million free free free- to his friends who presently subscribe to one of his many plans. Just pay him a couple of grand and you can have all of his money and markets gurus’ advice for a lifetime. Advice that will lead you to the poor house. Maybe word is getting out about their exaggerated promises and he can’t find new suckers.
He tells everyone that this is a great deal because all of his plans to screw you would normally cost you $100.000. One would have to be a total idiot to give him a dime.

One should NEVER buy inverse ETF’s, Take one look at the stock market trend over its life time. It just keeps going up, despite the crashed. If you have a crystal ball to see when to invest in inverse ETFs and when to get out of them, then please invest, otherwise, you are guaranteed to lose your money.

I actually made money with Martin’s Contrarian portfolio. In the beginning he was picking some good stocks but using his “system” he was buying and selling to often. I did not renew for a second year when he held on to I believe it was GILD while I sold it when it was in the $122+/- range. He had another very good financial pick, but again he kept on buying and selling which gets expensive even with an on-line broker. Some of his picks I would have never thought of buying such as Cracker Barrel which ended up being a great stock. Anyway I ended up making about 4 & 1/2 times what he charged for his service.

I got an offer to subscribe to PROFITS CALENDAR at the end of last year and the advertised price was 3000 not 300 Bucks. The authors of this service were supposed to be Kathy Lien and Boris Schlossberg who are forex experts and also were supposed to edit the service. However it turned out to be Toni Sagamii instead beating about the bush about some figures and expectations with hardly any results covering even my expensive subscription cost of $ 3000 . Just save your money and stay away, as you will lose more money instead.

MARTIN WEISS,
I’ve subscribed to you in one way or the other over 20 yrs, BUT YOU HAVE SURE LET US DOWN NOW. YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD THE CURTISY TO LET US KNOW YOU WERE SELLING OUT TO BANYAN. YOU MIGHT CALL IT A MERGER, BUT IF WE CAN’T REACH ANYONE BY PHONE AT WEISS FOR A MONTH AND BANYAN
ANSWERS YOUR OLD PHONE NUMBER SOMETIMES AFTER AN UNGODLY WAIT, I CALL IT A SELLOUT.

MY MAJOR CONCERN, I’VE FOLLOWED LARRY EDELSON SINCE THE LATE 1970s AND MIKE BURNICK SINCE LARRY DIED FOR MY GOLD ADVICE. NOW THAT THEY ARE BOTH GONE, WHO WILL YOU HAVE OF THEIR QUALITY TO ADVISE US ON GOLD AND MINING STOCKS ??? AND WHAT NEWSLETTER WILL YOU USE TO DO THIS. REMEMBER, WE ARE VERY CLOSE TO A GOLD AND MINING STOCK LOW. WE WILL NEED NOT ONLY GOOD SELECTION ADVICE BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY A “BUY SIGNAL”

PLEASE DON’T LET US DOWN AGAIN WE NEED TO KNOW WHO WILL BE REPLACING MIKE WITH OUR NEEDED ADVICE AND SEVERAL ANSWERABLE PHONE NUMBERS i

MARTIN, I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR PERSONAL RESPONSE SO I KNOW THAT THIS IS GETTING TO THE TOP
THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Max, I bought into Weiss years ago with a low one time fee for his Executive Club which provided all non-premium services for life!
I also think that we all were kicked to the curb. So far I haven’t fallen in love with any of the four letters I was forced into at Banyan.

I guess I must have given these guys some money about a year ago. Didn’t realize everything that Weiss & Co. are involved with. The Money & Markets emails are always highly inflammatory and not worth anyone’s time. As a newbie about a year and a half ago, it was easy to fool me into thinking that the emails were worth reading. Once bitten, twice shy. In checking my Visa bill this month, I discover that they have helped themselves to another payment, which I definitely did not authorize. Not even sure what it was for, all it says on my Visa bill is Weiss Group. I will be going after a refund tomorrow morning!

lots of popups and other “teasers to tempt you to “invest” more money into their system. I don’t recommend it.
A lot of HYPE and Negative information.
