I subscribed to Quantum Growth for 1 month beginning on 9/21/08. As part of the subscription, I received the “my 5 best Quantum Growth Doublers”, as described below:
“Get full details on my 5 best Quantum Growth doublers. I will tell you the trades that I expect to double the quickest in this incredible market rebound. I will send you the next 4 issues of Quantum Growth, all for a 66% savings. But you have to be signed up by Monday.”
To this date, 1/29/09, four of the 5 doublers have never risen in price above the price they were when I started my subscription. Most have lost share price significantly. The remaining doubler only rose in price by less than 20%. NOT A DOUBLER IN THE BUNCH.
Please note the “or my name’s not Louis Navellier” in the statement below. He is, of course, referring to SOLF, which never rose above it’s 9/22/08 price of $14.03, so I guess we can’t call him Louis Navellier any more.
“OUR SECOND AND THIRD DOUBLERS. The money flood is going FIRST to stocks that were simply caught up in this nightmare. China stocks got whacked and then they got stomped. Now they’re back off the mat. Grab the China solar stock that was trampled in the last few weeks—down 42%. This $12 stock is headed back to $37 where it belongs, or my name’s not Louis Navellier.”
Finally, although I only subscribed for 1 month, I went into the Navellier website archives, and paper traded the top ten stock weekly recommendations from 12/10/07 until 10/20/08. I discovered to my dismay that I would have lost over 50% of my original investment. In Navellier’s defence, this was a period when the bottom was falling out of the stock market, but I never understood how he could bravely offer up 10 or more new stock recommendations every week, only to tell you to sell most of them, at a loss, the following week.
As a result, I cancelled my subscription, at the end of 30 days without making any trades based on his website. This lesson only cost me $499.00 for the subscription.
subscribed briefly. made no money. watched picks decline in value. disappointment.
Tried this service for 3 Months. Followed all the buy and sell recommendations. Lost 30%.
Louis’s strategy seems to be
1. Buy a stock,
2. Watch it go down 15-20%,
3. Sell,
4. Go to Step 1.
All of Louis’ “Quantums” were quantum downers.
The review I wrote for Emerging Growth in fact I meant to be for this Letter “Quantum Growth”. The Letter is very pricey, not a bit worth the money paid for it. It is like a monkey throwing the darts. In a good market it is OK’ in a bad market?? I wish I never new about it. It said buy, buy,buy and the stocks kept going down, down , down. I even don’t look at the recommendations anymore. It seems that, when it said buy,buy,buy some big money were selling, one wonders how somebody who supposed to be an expert, misses so much, or what?
