I don’t have any specifics about this penny stock newsletter, but Stansberry launched an earlier “stocks under $10” letter by Dan Ferris in 2007, and it quickly became “stocks under $5” — and that was before the market meltdown! Beware of all things Stanberry.
Don’t have much track record yet with Frank Curzio, but he appears to be a careful analyst, sincere and dedicated and willing to go the extra mile with subscribers.I have bought DEER and am watching with interest. I would caution that the Stansberry group are generally not for investor newbies, and suspect they would agree.
I ranked it 3 stars on performance and consistency since it is a very new offering and doesn’t have a track record. I ranked it 5 on value and interesting to read since the initial subscription price was only $99 and Frank writes good articles. He also has an excellent podcast that is free to everyone. My main complaint about the service so far is that Frank has a tendency to go after stocks with very low volume, perhaps this is normal with under 10 stocks, but it does wreak havoc when he publishes his picks. As your rightly guessed, DEER, was his latest and it skyrocketed in AH trading and had major action the next day. He has enough subscribers that his picks can move the market quickly on a thinly traded stock. I think that is the biggest detraction from his newsletter. I’d also like him to do a portfolio format like he did at the street.com but I understand that is not the way Stansberry does things. Also I miss the almost daily email updates that Frank used to send out on his picks as news came out and affected the pick. A big example, his shorting IMAX, now things have changed but no updates. Faster feedback would be nice. So far I’d say the newsletter has been of help.
