What a load of crap. I watched the video and couldn’t help thinking 1) why doesn’t this guy show his face?? 2) If anyone buys into this crap, his predictions will come true i.e. gold will be bought up like crazy and hit $5000. an ounce and he will become rich..er!! Can you imagine the run on gold, silver, commodities like oil……..please don’t buy into this and drive the prices up any higher!!! 3) He’s got a great scam going, wish I could have gotten in early, or wish I could have thought of this, sell advice on the internet using scare tactics and make a fortune!! All off the backs of people who want to become instant millionaires without hard work and due diligence. Well, I think he blew it. As soon as the video ended with buy now, get in at half price, what are you waiting for……….the scam was evident!

Just read the latest PSIA, which may be his best yet. Porter talks about the New American Socialism, how it differs from traditional socialism, and what to expect next. He includes a brief history and in-depth examples that are quite informative. He has a short recommendation but the real value this month (as it has been in the last several months) is in the education. Fascinating, and spot-on.

I agree. No one makes finance more interesting than Porter. You get a full history lesson with each recommendation.

Notfallinforit, do you really think Stansberry can influence the price of gold? You might want to do some research on the gold markets before saying something like that. And you’ll notice he says to buy gold, and not some smallcap gold producer whose price he COULD manipulate.

Sure, his marketing is full of hyperbole and scare tactics, but he hasn’t been wrong yet – things are playing out exactly how he said they would, years ago, beginning with teh fall of Lehman.

The really scary people are Bernanke, Geithner, Obama, and the ECB. They are going to bring the world’s financial markets down by their constant papering over of the crisis, and the timeline is likely in months rather than years. If you aren’t scared you should be.

Been a subscriber for 4 months or so … seemed like a wealth of incoming information. They send you around 4 emails a day, 3 packed with advice and one or two asking for BIG dollars for some BS subscription to something else. Lost some $$ in some of their stupid recommendations (which they don’t seem to remember) but what bugs me is the changing position bit. Like they were hyping silver blah blah, then it tanks, and they still hype it – now that it’s fallen they say – “We told you so – we told you to be careful” – NO you didn’t. I must say though the guys analysis of what will happen to this country is spot on. He pulls no punches and suggests what to do … for that reason alone, haven’t decided weather to dump it yet.

I have been a subscriber for a few months and overall I have been quite satisfied. I am a novice investor and the topics in the actual advisories have taught me a lot and given me ammo for my own research. I haven’t had enough time to give a fair rating of stock performance, but I will say that the recommendation to buy silver has been a good one. I owned silver before my subscription and bought more plus a number of other stock recommendations since my subscription. I watched silver ride from $17 all the way up to almost $50 and I read several warnings in the week before silver crashed that silver was due for a correction (possibly as far as $26) so I was not at all surprised by the drop. I hold silver as a hedge, and am still way up on my investment, so I have no intention of selling in the near future. The Stansberry recommendation is was and is to hold silver and gold long term, but many analysts have written that a better entry point may arise in the next few months for purchases.

My only complaint as with many others is the excessive advertising for other newsletters published by the firm. I don’t mind some advertising, but this is a little over the top (especially if you subscribe to multiple newsletters you will get the same ad from each one in the same day…kind of annoying, but that is why I have a delete button). Just so I am clear in my meaning, an ad is any pitch to sell me anything. Naturally if a company offers more than one service, they will advertise those other services in an attempt to make more money. Buzz words like “Russian Spy ware” are just that…buzz words to peak your interest enough to read the whole sales pitch (even though the software is neither Russian or spy ware), and no I did not buy that subscription. I like the Investment Advisory because it has a long term outlook and my portfolio is small enough that commissions have the potential to significantly imact my gains or losses. In any case, I have learned a ton about investing that I would not otherwise know (I wouldn’t have even known where to look), and that to me, is well worth the $49 subscription.

By the way Sanjay, I think you misunderstand the sales pitch for Daily Wealth Premium. You will not have access to all of the newsletters and performance reviews, Steve Sjuggerud does and he will give you tips which may come from any of the newsletters each day but you do not get to pick which ones.

I subscribed about 3 months ago and am waiting to see what happens to some of the recommendations before putting in real money from my IRA. What bothers me is all the junk that comes associated with the trial subscription, that wants you to put bigger bucks in esoteric newsletters ($2400 for the junk stock letter) which purvy conflicting advice. My wife asked an interesting question: if they’re so smart, why don’t they make their money investing instead of selling newsletters–is it altruism or ????

Good question from your wife, daddy warbucks. They’ve addressed this in the past (but not recently). They can’t buy their own recommendations but they can buy other editors’ reco’s, after the newsletter has gone public. They also buy similar assets to what they recommend. For example, if Steve is bullish on gold he may recommend Seabridge, but buy another gold stock, or an ETF, or bullion.

I think Porter’s motivation is more power than money. I get the impression he wants to be talked about. Guess he succeeded there.

Stansberry has also mentioned his aversion to running money several times. He doesn’t want to manage others’ money because then he would be under the purview of the SEC. Too much hassle, he says. Plus, he and the SEC have locked horns before.

Simple Chris, we subscribed so unlike you actually we do know what are we reviewing here.

BTW, the latest series of Porter’s free articles beginning with http://www.dailywealth.com/1773/New-American-Socialism may cause foam around the mouth of many liberals, perhaps Chris included. So while Porter declares his lack of interest in politics at an elective position he definitely has the passion to educate the public in a simple way what’s really going on. Which also explains his troubles with the government agency FDIC.

As for IRA, the Retirement Letter is best, try it when it comes on sale. Dr. Eiffig recommendations are 100% winners and the yield is impressive. For 10% from the sale price in 90 days it’s worth trying but chances are you’ll stay with it.

As I have said many times sevens/Porter/DickG, I paid $49 for my subscription and I am not a liberal. I am a conservative and my objections to your get rich quick marketing has nothing to do with politics. It has all to do with misleading people into thinking you have tricks and computer programs, ect. to guarantee results. Like the Russian Spyware (which is a lie) and the Grail (another lie) and the 32% clause (which is just junk bonds) and the secret messiah (which is just a investment advisor and nothing more), and the $5 to get passwords to all publications (which is really just another newsletter, no passwords), ect, ect, ect.

Porter Stansberry Investment Advisory

I like Porter’s editorials on the big picture but it appears that he has a too pessimistic view of individual stocks. He continually harps that you should be shorting certain stocks. He states these stocks should be going to zero. His shorts picks as of 9/9/2010 were BC 14.32, AMD $5.86, EWI 15.70, BKS 15.40, GCI 13.22, WDC 25.95, STX 11.03, GE 15.91, AEP 36.35. As of today all of these stocks are higher.

He may also not be giving you the best picks in the market because he doesn’t allow himself or his employees to invest in their published picks. So although he recommends NLY & CIM for income picks you won’t here about AGNC or ARR which have a much higher income and appreciation. I suspect he invests in the latter and tells you about the former.

I subscribe to PSIA as well as all of the Stansberry & Associates (S&A) Newsletters except for Phase 1 (this is 16 newsletters!). I trust they will be around for a long, long time and I look at them as an investment for me and my family. Nothing in life is free. They cover everthing and keep getting better and better. With S&A, you can invest into 3 different types of lifetime services; Private Wealth Alliance gives you a lifetime of the 7 lower priced newsletters including PSIA. This is a truly great buy and should give 80% of the individual investors all the insight they need to keep up with the “true” trends. Their top lifetime service is the S&A Alliance which gives you everthying on one platter including their $1-4K/yr services, but is meant to be for those (unlike me) who want to indulge in their yearly posh membership meetings. Financially, I’m not there yet. My advice…chose only one newsletter – PSIA, True Wealth, Penny Stock Analyst or 12% letter and avoid going one-by-one into each of the other newsletters they will tout along the way. Rather, just like what you do in investing, wait for the bargain… when they offer one of the lifetime services Private Wealth Alliance, Flex Alliance (I own both) or their S&A Alliance. For me, a handful of their recommendations were doubles, a couple I was stopped out of for a loss. But the rest are in positive territory and I’m still letting them ride. They also provided many winning options recommendations and a truly fabulous Corporate Bond newsletter which makes up 60% of my porfolio.

I wrote a review earlier today before reading other recent reviews. My gosh people… try to see through the advertising! It is ther simply to lure people in one at a time. My advice is to get one of the S&A newsletters, PSIA, True Wealth or 12% Letter. Ignore the advertising when it comes to getting any additional individual newsletter for half off. Remember they have 15 others they will tease you with. But wait for the opportunity when they offer the lifetime Private Wealth Alliance, Flex Alliance or S&A Alliance. Then jump in. You will not regret it.

I just ignore the ads, the Growth Stock Wire and the Daily Wealth. But I do read the S&A Disgest at the end of the day, especially on Friday’s.

The S&A Alliance is a one-time fee, typically around $5,000 (and trending up as they get more newsletters). There is also a yearly “maintenence fee” of $150 or so.

As JT mentioned, you get everything they publish except for Phase One, plus a free conference every year. Well, the conference is free but you have to get yourself there and pay for the hotel, which is usually quite expensive (although you could stay at the Motel 6 down the road, I suppose). They were in Aspen one year and Cancun the next, both of which I attended. I definitely felt out of place, because I am middle class, but had a good time talking to doctors and folks who ran money. We all had something in common and people didn’t seem to care what your background was.

Their subsequent conferences have been in places like Hong Kong and Geneva, however, so I passed on them. I’m hoping they come back to the USA this year, but we’ll see.

The conferences were quite interesting, with all of the editors giving presentations, as well as a few invited guests. Porter also hosts a very nice dinner.

Chris, Actually it’s 15 newsletters. The S&A Alliance runs 10K now, too much for me. The Private Wealth Alliance was $650, with yearly fee of $149. This includes the 12%Letter, PSIA, True Wealth, Penny Stock Specialist, Resource Report, Insider Statagist & Retirement Millionare. I read these, but I only act on True Wealth recs. The rest are sometimes repeats from the more expensive letters. The Flex Alliance allows you to get any 5 newsletters for life. You can switch whenever you like. So in essence you can actually get all the 15 newsletters, just not all at once. It’s easy to switch using their Flex Alliance web site. Because I already have the PWA, with my Flex Alliance choices I keep the weekly newsletter open (Short Report, Grail Trader, Junior Resource Trader) and rotate around between Extreme Value, True Wealth Systems, True Income & Retirement Trader. Advanced Income is mainly a repeat of the Short Report. The cost of the Flex Alliance for me was $4K with a yearly of $199. That sure beats the 10K if you are a starter like me. My main reason for the lifetime enrollment is so I do not have to keep shopping around. I trust these guys and over time, I know I will get better at investing going this route as opposed to learning the hard way. Between all these letters, I feel like over time I will have my bases covered and therefore have the better edge to help my college children understand investing too. I just wish I had started earlier.

I did not buy any of their serivces after I watched the video in March, 2011. But I took their advices and bought some silver and that was the best decision I ever made. I then went to their website every day to read free articles and observed what was happening, guessed what? I realized whatever Port said in the video is becoming true. I just subscribed to the retirement million because I need to know how to get my money out of my 401K without paying a cent of penalty. Also I want to say this: those people who still believe in SEC and FED, please go and watch a documentary movie called : The Inside Job. They are the biggest scams in the U.S. They are the one that got us in this mass the very first place. If after you watch this documentary, you still believe in them, please just dig your head into the sand!

PORTER STANSBERRY HAS A LONG HISTORY WITH THE SEC….HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY PROSECUTED FOR DEFRAUDING HIS SUBSCRIBERS AND PRICE MANIPULATION. THE SEC HAS BEEN AFTER HIM FOR OVER A DECADE AND IS STILL ON HIS TAIL. HE MAKES MILLIONS FROM YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS PAWNING YOU OFF TO VARIOUS SELF PROCLAIMED FINANCIAL GURUS.

Kristofo (March 28),
Many thanks for your summary of the contents of the various Stansberry tips; you’ve saved me the subscription costs – and I’d have been somewhat peeved to pay to see SLW as the silver tip, since I’ve owned it for the last couple of years…as for Farmland being the best asset to hold, well, I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion – but anyone who bought CRESY at the start of 2011 will be 25% or so down now..
