I just saw an ad with John Boehner and Mike Ward pushing “Founding Member” status in NCIS. For $49 I figured what the hell, and subscribed. Before I could close the page I was offered a “Lifetime” membership, where I would be part of the “inner circle” (I presume I’ll get John Boehner’s home phone #), and my questions will be answered first, and I’ll have “access” to the corridors of power (unlike the ordinary shlubs who paid $49). This incredible lifetime opportunity was mine for just $495. You bet I took it. The amount of material I am supposed to receive by mail is absolutely staggering. But wait-as I’m trying to go back to doing some real work I get another Incredible Opportunity: Danny Brody will personally advise me on all upcoming Cannabis IPO’s, and get me ready to participate in these micro-cap wealth explosions, and even opportunities for angel investing (no mention of the incredible risk in angel investing, or that you need to be an accredited investor to participate), all for just $1950 (non-refundable) regular price will be $4,000 per year). Incroyable! At this point sanity returned and I declined their generous offer. But wait-there’s more! As I hit the button to decline, Mike Ward personally appeared to me and told me he really needs me on his team, so if I couldn’t swing the $1950 I could pay only $595 for a 3 month subscription. What a nice man. After asking him to leave I was redirected to Mr. Opollo, who does something important at NCIS and want me to call him NOW. To find out the name of a company that may win a patent lawsuit over some microscopic device that may allow it to dominate the medical field for the next few hundred years and collect big bucks in royalties. It’s 6:15 on Friday evening-should I call and get the name of this company? But wait, this is a biotech and I’m looking for cannabis. All so confusing.
OK. Where do I go to get some real info on the pot market? Just lost $10K in HMLSF and not eager to repeat the process.
Dr. S….Same thing happened. The only reason I watched that presentation was that I knew that Boehner is on Acreage’s board. Thought they would have something to say about Acreage. I should have exited as soon as my wife, who was overhearing , say’s “It sounds like a sales pitch”…Boy was she right. I too said for $49 bucks what the hell, I’d take a chance for any info that I could use to help me invest(gamble) on pot stocks. No sooner then I buy in, I too was hit with not one but TWO UPSELLS! I immediately cancelled my subscription…As far as losing $ on pot stocks, I was up $80 K last month when legalization started in canada. The very next day, EVERY SINGLE HOLDING I had started in with corrections and shares started to crash. I couldn’t sell them ALL fast enough and managed to stop the carnage at a loss of $40k.. I waited two weeks for when I thought they had all reached their bottoms and bought the dips. Then yesterday , afterSessions gets canned, you would figure they would all go up but the exact opposite happened, They all tanked again. Sold them all again about 12 pot holdings all together, about half of what I held before.. Took my profits and will now wait until the dust settles again. Maybe I’m a glutton for pain but I do believe that this end of pot prohibition will be a money maker with the right holdings. My advice would be to sticking to US companies from this point on…just my 2 cents..Good luck
I cant thank you enough for the truth about these companies. I was thinking about joining but after reading all the comments about the rip offs no thanks. I’m so sorry for your lose, before investing I like to look at what people have to say about a company it is just a good idea. I sure hope all of you people that have been ripped off get your money back and then some for you aggravation.
I am really sorry for your loss and thank you so much for sharing your experience.
The only way to save some people of getting involved with rip off people and hard earned money. I truly think if NCIS had the opportunity to present their statistics and research to more season investors, this company will never approach individual people.
Sounds like they REALLY want to make some cash-o-la here…Almost desperate sounding. When do YOU think pot will be legal on a federal level? Hummm?
I had the similar experience. I wrote them once about offering the IPO to me since I was on the inner circle. I think that it should have been part of the kick-off debut that I attended. Never a response. Just another sucker for the guys who are experts…mostly at taking me hard earned money. My account is down 45%. No one advised me to sell b-4 it went to H in a handbasket. It would be nice to find a truly integral agency to work with that is affordable.
I joined the Cannabis institute for 79$ and never received any info. So I called and said I had joined and they gave me the website and saw the upgrade for a lifetime membership for 495$ so I upgraded my membership and they said I could apply the 79$ that I already was charged for, I looked at my bank statement was charge for both payments I called them to cancel my subscription but was offered only 39$ for a year so I thought that would work for the info. On their website. Interesting how these programs work it’s all about $ very sad about the investing world when you put trust and money in these subscriptions!
Happy to see you call them out! There needs to be accountability for ripping people off!
I joined December 4th, and as of today December 14th, 2018 still haven’t received any information. I called & they said it is on back order and I should receive it by next week.
Any update on your request, so far how is your experience with NIC. Any feedback is appreciated.
I got my e-mail within 10 minutes last night. It’s all on-line based even though it looks like hard copy books. They’re just links to web articles going over companies of interest. Did you get the e-mail at least? I’ll e-mail you what they tell me, I don’t mind, but I’d rather you get it straightened out. I went minimum, you can see my other posts on here today trying to figure out what went wrong. Maybe they really were bulked down since they launched 4 months ago but I only use the clickable reports they provided in the e-mail. Here’s my e-mail: ericrboone@gmail.com
I’ll copy and paste what the e-mail has in it like I replied to other folks on here:
Check your spam folder. They have the links in the e-mail from them that leads to their site with instructions but it’s after explaining and showing links to their reports including the current weekly report. Should of came from: suppport@nicinvestors.com Wish I could take a screenshot for you. I can copy and paste the 2nd half of the e-mail here:

Let me know if they really didn’t send you an e-mail, you could try calling that number and see what happens. Don’t listen to their sales pitch to upgrade, that’s their profit margin increasing. You only need so much information to make an executive decision in cheap cannabis stocks for the years to come. I do hope you did get it, that would piss me off.
Sorry, I thought you were talking about National Institute of Cannabis Investors, not National Oilwell Varco. I don’t know anything about them at all other than being a stock. My previous reply was in regards to the page being about National Institute of Cannabis Investors website sign up for information. So everything I wrote has to do with them.
Please provide me your feedback on this subscription
Any feedback on Cannabis Insider report
I joined last night for $79 and said “no thanks” to the two upgrades. Received an e-mail in less than 10 minutes with all links leading to their website to provide intel with their weekly reports, the weekly report WAS active and had insight on a few options. They are legit, you do not need to go full out with them but they do have “inside” information on the “green gold mine” and have suggestions both good and bad in the report. You can view the stocks on their site just as much as on a stock brokerage app like Robinhood, which I suggest as it’s $0 on every trade, they only charge if you go under account balance with no minimums, you can get a fee if you let’s say put in $50 only and your stocks dropped down to lose what’s left in your account… that I’m not aware of yet, as it hasn’t happened – will update if I do get a fee from Robinhood app. Every trade has been free to do unlike Ally $4.95 or eTrade $6.95 each. They are onto something by using a Clearing System of their own (still talking about free Robinhood stock brokerage app)
Now, back to the National Institute for Cannabis Investors (NIC), they are also onto something but they don’t provide means of exactly which Stock Brokerage App to use, so I had to find that on my own. They do provide stock information and recommendations both positive and negative on highlighted companies for the $79 2-year membership. It was worth the money to get 2 years of which companies are prime targets. Shame we missed out on Canopy Growth, they skyrocketed but are only at $47 a share right now instead of $2 like many of them were. Do a quick Google search of “Canopy Growth stock”. Some companies eat other companies (merge) and it doesn’t affect it negatively, there really is useful information from the 60 minute video probably more than signing up for the membership itself (other than weekly reports of John Boehner’s influence can reach which could be adamant and worth your one time $79).
I wouldn’t mind sharing with anyone what they recommend weekly during my two year license, please e-mail me if you’d like to know which they recommend: ericrboone@gmail.com
At first I thought it was a scam listening to you guys but they give what you say “yes” to pay for. I did not opt-in for the 24 IPO (starter cannabis companies) that you see first for $1,940 a year… We can guess just the same as them based on research ourselves. Just paid $79, honestly, for the insight on current growth and how hard these companies are trying to be in the Spotlight. For Christ sakes, Facebook stocks are $106 right now, thanks for allegedly selling our personal information Mark Zuckerberg. Lmao. To reiterate, I’d be happy to share the intel they provide weekly to anyone who e-mails me. Feel free, I have the time plus other opportunities that are very beneficial and has nothing to do with stocks but more true passive-residual incomes and methods to save money on monthly utilities like electric, cell and natural gas in some states. Great minds think alike and I’m huge into networking friends and the gains you get from them. How else did a CEO become a CEO? HAVING A FRIEND TEAM. Namaste. Peace. Oorah.
To save time, I fast-forwarded to the end of the presentation, pressed the “Join” button to see the cost of their offer(s), but did not enter credit card information. The next day, I received a “Fraud Alert” from my credit card company that a charge of $79 was attempted to be placed on my card by “Capitol Information Group.” I don’t know if there is a connection to the “National Institute of Cannabis Investors” but I don’t understand how one’s credit card information can so easily be obtained and charged.
It seems that many gripes are about having to pay more to learn more (aka additional research/service/efforts/company outlay). People unfamiliar with what is involved in higher categories are making judgments about what they do not know. That thought process leap’s a little premature in my estimation.
Has anyone received any of their recommended new IPOs?,..if so was it worth the $1990- investment?
No.
I upgraded to the IPO insider in December 2018 1t $ 1995. I have a loss.
no,no and no.E,followed their vested I
ve lost money.Everytime Ive invest in the stocks that have been presented to me,Ive lost money....As a single woman on disability Im down 2000.00.Thanks loads NICIIt seems as though they ask for money to get you in, then they ask you for more money to see this report and they ask you for more money to see that data. I think the only ones making lots of money are the folks that have ownership in NICI. I am not impressed and think it is close to a scam……..
Now you know. They all work this way because they cannot make money on the market.
I agree. My gut tells me to go no further. I’d rather take the $2000K I was about to upgrade to and invest that 2K into actual stocks that my gut guides me to. Otherwise, I feel we’re just making MIke Ward and Danny ? and other NICI talking heads richer than they already are.
I’ve never known anyone selling stock picks (of any kind) explain why they don’t just buy their own recommenadations, with their own money, rather than get me to send them money to learn of their picks. Can anyone suggest a reason other than simple greed?
Joined last week for the $79 membership and got the mailout a few days later and have used the website to introduce me to the cannabis industry and potential investments. Since I was pretty clueless about pot stock, nici is doing for me about what I expected. Cannabis industry education and some trade info. The $79 was worth it for me. But I never intended to spend $500 much less $ 2000 for their upgrades. I’m going to put together a small portfolio of pot stock 3-4000 dollars and let it ride a year. I don’t need a lifetime elite membership to do that. I thought it interesting Boehner was involved. His involvement at nici did influence me to spend $79.
I paid the $1995 for NICI’s “Cannabis IPO Insider”. I have followed them very closely. Read everything and invested in their “Hot IPO recommendations” Truth is all they want is your money. They bait and switch to higher paid exclusive benefits memberships that never stops. They are hard up for money and are easy to figure
out once you join. The picks have been losers and they keep recycling 2 videos that are always in their emails. If I see them again I will scream. Boehner Summit and Dan Brody’s 77 millionaires. Where has Dan Brody been. After his onehe disappears. After all he is the IPO expert but never gives you a personal recommendation.
Greg which is the email spokesman is really the front man who runs interference for the group. They have great advertisement but they don’t deliver on their promises. The company is a bunch of ” Money Grubbers”
The IPO’S which have been a few are not being given at the inception date. They have been a week or two late.
By the time you get the alert the stock has moved up in price and you don’t get in at the bottom. But don’t worry a week later it comes down and goes into negative territory. Mike Ward who put this all together will steal the eyes out of your head and tell you look better without them. They make you think that you will become a millionaire if you join. I did learn something which is never buy into one of these scams without a full and iron clad Money Back Guarantee. The IPO Insider is a non-refundable $1995 and I should have known better. So I hope my information will save you your hard earned money. Don’t be a sucker like me. Save your money.
Firstly, I am sorry for your loss and thanks for your insight to the public. I’ve been doing the same in speaking out to the countless people who e-mailed me since my comment below. Talked to many circles about the same exact experience. An IPO is Day 1 release and yet they don’t allow it. We’ve discovered it’s bull. It is a hype and the non-refundable is a force to be reckoned with, just bad business and any future credibility is lost from each person involved employed in their staff. I’ve provided my e-mail address last month I believe it was in a previous comment here and have been informing cannabis stock leads and OTHER methods of how to make residual income to help lessen the blow of it and also to provide additional income to supplement credible companies, essentially what you can figure out with consistent Google Searches just the same as what they promise. I still to this day personally try to help everyone who e-mails me with additional information as much as I can spare it and again other means to make money to play with stocks. There are about 5 cannabis companies I trust to this day. Still angry about IPO’s not existing to the public except Day 1 Public Release, how dare NIC Investors (NICI) promise this and not provide what’s not possible. Again, sorry for your loss as well my friend. I’ll just keep helping decent people out with what I know works the best for residual income and the top 5 that I’ve experienced with growth, feels like the right thing to do. It takes a lot for someone to get slammed with that and to take the time to share your information. Kudos to you for sharing your story and information as well.
Hi Eric,
Would you mind listing your email again as I just got on to this site today? Thanks
Thanks for the info. I have been sucked into these offers before and lost money, but not as much as I would have if I had taken the whole lie. Money Map press, NICI, Total Wealth Insider, Technology Profits Confidential, Aurora — all are apparently in cahoots to suck in new believers of their “systems”. for making money in stocks. The only persons who consistently make these $$ are the organizations themselves and such persons as Mike Ward , who consistently cone up in long, time – consuming videos that are actually are advertising scams to promote yet another “guaranteed system” for making (themselves) more money. As you said, the little advice these outfits and personalities give is for information that is old news and, therefore, no longer useful. The advertisements for these ploys rely on “weasel words”, such as might, may, have the possibility of .. . . to cover the fact that their sure-fire system has only a “might”, “may”, or “have the possibility of” making any money at all. It’s easy to “Guarantee” a “Maybe” — because anything is possible. There are way too many stock opportunists out there . The SEC would do all of us a favor to put some teeth into punishing those behind questionable programs that harm the stock exchange system this SEC was created to protect in the first place.
Thanks,These reviews are invaluable. for a investor to make a decision to invest.
Thx,..very helpful. How can be non-refundable since their offer specifically states,..
Make 10X Your Money Or You Pay Nothing But here’s what I can promise you. At least FOUR IPOs will deliver 10X gains during the first year.
If they don’t just give my team a call at the end of your subscription. I’ll refund every cent you paid, no questions asked.
Precisely! Scam, pure and simple. Ward, in particular, is an outright crook!
I am a member on the highest levels of both sides of the NIC platform. Some of what I’m reading below is looking from the outside exclusively or from cheap obstructed seats in the highest level of a massive stadium. Anyone may be ripped off or disappointed with an investment in life,but we also get what we ay for in other circumstances.
There are people who pay for the lowest tier of side A and expect what is available by way of info to only those paying up to 15x more on the highest level of Side B. They read the literature and presume their entitlelment to much more than is clearly portrayed within the varied designated options.
Additionally, I’ve invested thousands in two months and am currently at almost 11% profit on my first eleven dabs on the stock side. However, it’s also important to note that most of these stocks are rated, suggested and avoided as on a longer range basis than those who seek to profit enormously over a few months. The company itself is not even a half year old and some writers are clueless about how these things are designed to operate.
On the IPO side, it’s very early once again, and there are simply too few examples yet out therefore far too short a period to get any clear indication of the wisdom or lack thereof under those conditions. It seems there’s a ridiculous rush to judgment from unrealistic points of view in much of the negative criticism. i for one am making money with NIC and not ready to ake any long term or hardcore judgments either way.
Don’t brilliant stock pickers make their money on the stocks they invest in and not on selling their picks to others?
At first I thought it was a legit service. Now, with frequent emails requesting me to upgrade to $499/yr, to $5000 a year…whatever…it seems a bait and switch. And where did John Boehner go?
The stars rating formula atop is ridiculous. Anyone can vote despite the “guidelines”. Does anyone seriously believe that most of those doing so are in a position to evaluate based on a reasonable degree of involvement (i.e. investment within the company) in determining their evaluation. From what’s written below it seems clear this is not the case and most people are voting on the basis of very little accurate and truly significant information.
I did make the decision to visit the BBB and then I saw this site and decided to check it out and learn about the company THIS way… before I invest my money….
Which way did you decide to learn about the site? Through the BBB? or by looking at the company itself?
I went for the whole package. $79 for 2 year basic. $495 for lifetime elite and $1,990 for the IPO Insiders. Now there pushing some machine that predicts stocks early… in 2 weeks. 20k invested on there recommendations and I am down 10%. 3 of the picks they told me to buy a full position on are my biggest losers and to top it off they went from a 5 star rating on the IPO hotlist to not being rated at all. Most of the write ups on the hot list are reports from 2018. They DoNot keep the reports updated to current times. I called them today to ask many questions and got a recording saying they are closed today and check back tomorrow. Why are they closed? It’s not a holiday. Why dont they have 24/7 help for people that paid $2,500? As someone entered earlier the IPO are not day one. I still have not received clearly the 2 first February. They also have a serious problem with there computers. One day the IPO hotlist and dossier will be on and the next day it’s off the list. I called them 3 times on it. Its corrected for a day and then vanishes. You can not talk directly with anyone involved with the IPO Insiders. I hope they get real one day and give me stocks that will make me a marijuana millionaire. It is what they say their biggest objective is. …..
It’s very obvious the negative posts re NICI are by people who are NOT members. They seem to have only watched the mike ward video. I joined on day one. Based on info from NICI I am up 80% in Aphria, 80% in Cresco, 80% in Cronos, 30% in Canapy Growth and the list goes on. The stocks which are down a FEW percent are still very much worth holding. My initial fee for joining has been returned 10 fold. NICI was without a doubt the best investment I have made in the Cannabis market.
When you joined, did you pay $79, or did you pay $4950.00 for a membership into the Cannabis Venture Syndicate?
When you joined, did you pay $79, or did you pay $4950.00 for a membership into the Cannabis Venture Syndicate?
Hi
I am looking to join NICI IPO insider. It looks like you are doing good. Is it possible to talk to you.
Thanks
Nav
Is this the Chriss who works for them and needed better advise then his [urs ] advise letter
I bought the $495 package. Now they want me to pay for the IPO information. I have made a few dollars from a couple of the stock recommendations. I am not going to pay for the upgrade.
I was going to sign up and i didn’t see a difference in the Diamond and Platinum could someone please clarify for me?
