Can anyone please tell me how to turn off the automatic renewal ? I have been consistently sending the mails to Banyan hills publications but i m not getting any reply?
And if anyone wants to get the access to the emails and the reports do reply me here as i am unable to open the foreign trading account so basically its of no use for me .
Report to your bank that you lost your credit card. They will issue a new card with a new card number. Automatic r renewals can only post to the original card number. I have done this a few times and it works.
Can anyone from US please help me in cancelling the auto renewal for the subscription?
As i m from India and unable to contact the customer care and neither getting any reply for the emails.
.My order number is 17121024.
My email id – vk32877@gmail.com
Please drop me a mail if anybody wants to help. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Call their toll free phone number 888-245-3882 to cancel subscription. Just tell them you do NOT want the automatic renewal of subscription.
JL Yastin from Banyan Hill Publishing is a sly old fox!:) Probably the most dishonest of them all. Some of his recommendations such as SRCL and UAA bombed BIG TIME and people lost like 30-40% of their money from following him. What is really disturbing is he doesn’t include those “closed out” recommendations on his profile, so when you look at it, his recommendations and “gains” appears a lot nicer than what it really is! Beware of that.
A week ago he recommended MLNX @ 50. A week later MLNX hit 58. I’ll take that!
Yeah, there are also 5 other losers that come with every winner that he recommends….
Profits Unlimited is awesome! As a newcomer to investing, I couldn’t have asked for an easier entree into the world of stocks and stock-picking. It’s obvious Paul Mampilly knows what he’s doing and I trust his recommendations. I’ve been a member for 2 months now and many of his picks are already up 10-30%. Amazing! Thank you Paul 🙂
He’s always a day late and a dollar short. Leaving his picks as recommendations LONG AFTER the money has been made is a BIG problem. His picks are overvalued and generally just a good way to watch your money slowly disappear
I am surprised he brags about Facebook earning or Netflix. He got out of bot at around $20 each, FB is now around $180 and NetFlix is $195…looks like he missed those little nuggets. Oh well, shoulda, coulda, woulda.
I like Paul’s take on the market. He has hit some winners and a few losers. Overall he is a winner.
I bought into the low priced offering this year as sort of a trial. I’m now inundated w sales pitches for more expensive services. I cant figure out what I actually got for my money. Much of what I read below are testimonials of dubious authenticity, just like the ones in the promos. Given the overall tone and content of the emails/?newsletters I no longer read them. Maybe I’m missing out on something. I’ll not be renewing.
it’s investment advise/stock recommendations – if you don’t know what you got for your money, you’re not buying/selling his recommendations. I’ve followed his publications for almost a year, and from his advise my stocks are up 38%, and that includes recent investments – that’s a LOT better than the benchmarks, and definitely worth my minimal time spent deleting a couple email. Maybe it’s easier picking stocks in this market, but I’m definitely getting my moneys worth – I will be renewing.
I am very happy with my lifetime sub to both Profits Unlimited and Extreme Fortunes. Several trades MORE than paid for this 10 times over. I have 1140 Shares of FMI starting at 22 dollars and averaged at 31 has been to 70! STM in ONE year I bought at 7.25 and have 2500 shares. Now around 22 a tripler! those 2 alone have made me 60K in less than a year. CRCM, QRVO, ADSK, Paypal, Mobileye, several others…. Excellent winners only a couple of losers and they were small. In this market environment who knows? But I can NOT complain……
These are the official annual returns of Paul Mampilly’s “high end” 1000% Extreme Fortunes portfolio as of December 31, 2017. The actual returns may be at least 20-30% less per investor.
Stock A: + 36.71%
Stock B: + 10.28%
Stock C: + 7.90%
Stock D: – 8.72%
Stock E: + 9.47%
Stock F: + 21.65%
Stock G: – 30.40%
Stock H: – 30.39%
Stock I: + 55.28%
Stock J: – 10.42%
Stock K: + 93.15%
Stock L: +211.42%
Stock M: + 3.51%
Stock N: – 35.59%
Stock O: – 53.99%
Stock P: – 15.58%
Stock Q: – 36.70%
Stock R: + 5.64%
I will explain in a future note the reasons why individual investor results are on average 20-30% less and in certain reasonably appreciated stocks the gains are often less by about -75% to -125%.
Hi All,
Let me know your experience on Paul’s “Extreme Fortune” subscription. It looks expansive, Is it worth?
Have been a subscriber for several months and there have been few recommendations that I was comfortable with. I did follow his rec. for Telsa which is down. When I joined, his former rec. were all above the rec. buy so waiting for his new rec. each month. Meanwhile I get emails to subscribe to his more expensive newsletters. The big profits he promised are yet to be realized but my year isn’t up. Will report back in the fall.
If you joined and got the Tesla stock, there have been 7 other stocks suggested since then. 8 holdings with returns of about 50, 20, -1, 15, 16, 8 and 10% (plus -20 for Tesla). 8 stocks, average holding time of under 3 months, average return of 12%. That’s about double your return if you had put same money/same time into an S&P ETF. I’ve been longer, and the returns outpace the S&P. For the investment, it’s a pretty good deal. And he’s right more often than wrong.
Paul Mampilly is NOT Paul Mampilly!
The true face of Paul Mampilly was revealed when he brought a subordinate assistant to manage two of his services. While I have no prejudice against a novice trying to attain a footing in the highly competitive stocks industry, it is your capital which is at stake here. Not everyone is born to be a money manager, and certainly not everyone has the art and skills necessary to manage other people’s money, particularly when they lack adequate management and communication skills. If Paul Mampilly himself is barely adequate for his job, this subordinate would require a decade of managerial experience to be trusted. He was managing Paul Mampilly’s Options service, and with his 4-5 initial trades obliterated 80% of my capital. Needless to say, even if he manages to have some gains possibly no one would benefit from them. I assume that practically no one is following his recommendations. If he reduces your capital from $10K to $2K, then to recuperate that you need to have 500% gains in a row of subsequent trades. A practical impossibility. As you may lose the remainder of your capital also, you would perhaps never go back to his recommendations, even if he achieves 10 baggers, which is obviously not the case.
To add insult to injury, Paul Mampilly has made this guy the manager of his newest service, his $10 Million Portfolio, another possible scam in a string of unsuccessful portfolios. A ray of hope appeared earlier this year when Rick Pendergraft joined to manage this Portfolio, but it soon fizzled as he left the service within weeks (possibly because he discovered stuff not to his liking). Since then, this subordinate has been asked to manage this portfolio also. Buyer beware!
There seems to be a very definite difference between this guy’s and Paul Mampilly’s trade strategies. All you will hear from this fellow is “buy this, sell that; sell this buy that.” At least that’s the impression he has left on me. Out of the goodness of his heart, Paul Mampilly is trying to promote this guy. Yet he’s doing it at your expense and at the cost of your capital. It seems now this guy has silently been managing all of Paul Mampilly’s portfolios. So when you have a string of orders to buy or to sell, they are most likely coming from this fellow. Unless Paul Mampilly fires this guy and assumes full practical responsibility for his services, there may not be a way of assessing his true merits. The buy recommendations are extremely poorly researched. The sell recommendations are often made haphazardly. It is one thing to make a mistake or two or three as a money manager, and another to make 50 mistakes, causing the obliteration of 50% of the client’s initial capital. I don’t know of any money manager more than half of whose trade recommendations are utter disasters.
Again, buyer beware!!!
Hi TaMoKi
You are obviously very familiar with PM and his newsletters. I subscribed first to PU and then 6 months latter to EF. I have not renewed my subscription to EF as my fortunes only covered my subscription cost – no confidence in his / or his assistants recommendations. I continue to subscribe to PU but buy with caution and keep a close eye on the market as twice I felt I needed to offload stock going south (S, ICPT) only to receive an email telling me to hold. 3 days latter another email to sell asap as the stock had crashed. (Obviously he told his friends first to offload as we all waited for a pullback). But at only $95 it has some good info ( 50% will be losers) but with 100.000 subscribers he can manipulate a market hike.
Pump n dump scammer at 100k subscribers
I wouldn’t think that would be a case of buyer beware, I think it would be more of a case of fraud, and if there is anything out there to substantiate this please let us know
Mampilly, is a hyped up bs artist. PU newsletters arent based in reality but Banyan Publishers reality. My personal advice is not to buy this crap. One is better off reviewing posts here at Gumshoe, Alpha and research. I found 1) he suggests a buy at what he says is a current price, which is never true. For example telling subscribers to buy SNPS at 94, market price was over 100. Then this idiot puts the 94 price in his bs portfolio at 94 and states he’s making a profit. 2) often he is telling subscribers to also purchase at a price which is at a 52 week avg high… hmmm a possible pump n dump scam tactic? This contradicts his preach philosophy of buy low before a run & build. 3) suggesting TSLA 2 times at a huge loss. One of the biggest shorted stocks in history. 3) claimg APPL will be a loser a few months back due to the Hackintosh. LMFAO! idiot. 4) I can run on with more. This just scratches the durface, yes duuurface. Oh… then the bribe of Extreme Profits newsletter for bigger profits? His profits.
stay away
Do not buy this guys newsletters. I’ll give his latest tip: Intuitive Surgical for $500 a share and Facebook for $150 a share. There was one other but I can’t remember what it was. Facebook is NOT really a tip. It doesn’t take a “genius” to tell somebody to invest in FB. Both of these stocks “tips” are not helpful to me as they are too rich for my investing. He used to give tips for stocks that the average person could afford. I can’t afford many shares of something that’s $500. And I think I can figure out FB on my own. Mostly they just use your name to relentlessly send you promotion after promotion for all their letters. Two of the other guys letters that I got on the cheap, Matt Badiali and Jeff Yastine both stink and I did not renew their letters either. I’m don’t think I made 5¢ on any of their stock tips. After about two months of their tips I stopped looking to see what they were suggesting because their tips were all garbage.
The newsletter I was initially enrolled in was purchased by Banyan and I was then placed in PU. I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the amount of communication, weekly videos, and recommendations. 2nd year with PU and I’ve enjoyed it. Paul provides a lot of solid knowledge on upcoming trends and just the health of the overall market.
I have had pure blind luck with Paul and have been very successful. This is because I can’t afford his high priced stocks and have limited my trades to stocks under $30. I just loaded up on STU, BOX, CLDR, CY. and STM at their 12 month low per his advice and because I can afford them. I have made money on all of them previously per his touts because I am a swing trader and got in and out over time. Paul is a buy and hold so I made more money than him by swinging.
MU was being pushed by Paul Mampilly one year ago as well. I bought 100 shares to test the waters on Nov. 2 2017. At $43.923 USD per share. The stock fuddle-duddled around so I sold Dec. 12 2017 at 42.285. Not a very good investment as it turned out. It did reach 54.26 Mar. 6 2018; but as we can see, the price at time of this post is 36.89.
I signed up for Paul Mampilly’s “Profits Unlimited” in early August. Here’s the scorecard: Of the 10 stocks added to his model portfolio since I joined, 7 are trading below the entry price. Two others were re-purchased last week (Zillow and Tesla) after having hit their stops recently, so no rating is available. One stock was trading above entry by 2.3%. In the “special trades” group of stocks, of the ones added since 8/1/2018, 2 are trading lower than entry levels (Cognex at 21% lower and Micron at 14% lower) and one (AMD) is trading higher by 3.8%. All 8 stocks in the special reports group have open “buy” recommendations. Since 8/1 he has closed 9 positions from his model portfolio. Five closed at an average loss of 11.7% and 4 closed at an average profit of 55%, the largest being PayPal (+125%) and Phillips (47.5%). So, my experience to date hasn’t encouraged me toward enthusiastic endorsement.
I subscribe to Banyan Hill so I get most of their services. Over the years they have been great education for me in finance as I started from scratch. Also I witness the hyping all newsletter writers do to get subscribers and the results from the inside. They dont beat the market by a great margin but its not too expensive and I am happy to pay for the financial support and advice. As said, the educational component is true value. They go through and thoroughly explain aspects of the whole industry so I can become more independent in my trading. Not making alot of money but I am learning.
