i got in the real wealth strategist to invest in the magic metal and damn it i better be able
to get into that stock or i will go to AGORA FINANCIAL about it or get my damn money back
there is no damn reason for things to be this way
I bought all 5 stocks for the freedom checks but all of them are down. My grandkids whom I bought them for are disappointed. What should I tell them. Also can I invest this money in that college fund not sure what it is called.
can you tell me what the 5 stocks are? quite possibly they were run up by this promotion and will eventually come around. They may be defensive moves in preparation for the S&P 500 pull back later in 2018
KNOP, NAP, PBA, SBR. SJT, SXCP., Yes, that is six. He recommended four in November, then two more in December to people already subscribing. In the teaser I do not know which was not included. PBA is interesting in that it pays its dividend monthly. I have not as yet bought NAP but have no particular problems with any of them.
Those listed in “The $34.6 Billion Payout” are SJT, CTT, SXCP, PBA and SBR. Those are the ones I researched and bought in the last 3 days – see my post above.
I also bought all 5 of the “Freedom Check” stocks (in the last 3 days at a price lower than Badiali’s “up to” price), and 3 are in the green with 2 losing less than a few cents per share. Remember that these are income producing investments. Three pay monthly, 2 quarterly in Feb, May, Aug & Nov. and all have yields over 5% with one at around 10%. These were chosen by the editor to counter the bear market we are facing (and much worse). Hang onto them.
I emailed some time ago asking for advice on buying Canadian Stocks I am in the UK! But have not had a reply!!??
Yes I too bought all 5 of the stocks recommended to buy in order to be a part of the freedom check holder and all 5 are down….. my question is, even tho they are down do we still get a check? Because we are still owners of the amount of shares we all bought?….
Thank you for your info. I believe if you sign up for an account on an exchange, Capital Investing, E Trade, etc… google penny stocks, google robotics & Marijuana stocks, google the mining companies suggested. Do your due diligence by reading up on each company and watch listing each company you will be able to decide for yourself what companies to invest in and stocks to purchase. I am no Matt Badiali, really no one at all just learning myself, but I have seen great jumps and made profits off of these industries. I have never tried nor smoked Marijuana… Read More »
“Freedom check” is a fancy name for a dividend–except that this is paid by an entity that is taxed differently from a corporation. Yes, you can hold the REIT in any account you like. The dividends are almost all of the earnings, so they will be larger than a corporation would usually pay. You get paid every quarter irrespective of the price, but if it isn’t making money they can reduce or eliminate the payments–just like a regular corporation can do with dividends.
Would I loose money if I bought stocks in this these company’s?
It is not possible to predict the future with certainty. Newsletter publishers think they are making good recommendations of stocks that will go up. Go to the Banyan Hills website, under Real Wealth Strategist look at the portfolio and past recommendations. Some have gone up, some have gone down. On balance I have made a little bit on the recommendations but not anything to brag about. Matt Badiali has a new newsletter for $1000 or so a year and I have not subscribed and don’t plan to do so. He there offers a “guarantee” the his overall portfolio will return… Read More »
What were the stocks?
My immediate response was scam. I agreed to only the $47 bare bones, but the confirmation came in at $444.00 price… that is fraudulent scam tactics…that tells me it is all smoke and mirrors like all the rest. Burn in hell folks.
Paul, that is unacceptable of course. The first thing you should do is get on the phone to customer service and tell them they charged you the wrong amount, you are sure it was a typographical error, and you want them to fix it immediately. Give them that chance. If you get excuses or bs you call your credit card company and tell them you were billed the wrong price and they aren’t giving you satisfaction. I have the bare-bones subscription also and there wasn’t a problem. Today I called about a different subscription and customer service resolved my problem… Read More »
What number did you call?
I called 866-584-4096, 888-898-2227, 410-622-3003.
The numbers are always busy.
I think this is a scam
If you have tried to call customer service repeatedly, your next step is with your credit card company. They will ask whether you have contacted the merchant. You tell them in detail how hard you have tried. I’ve had one where my call always went to voice mail; I left my number and got no return call. My credit card company refunded my money. That experience had nothing to do with this.
I did the same ,will keep a eye on it.
You always have to wonder if these people are so rich why are they pedaling something for $50 to us. Why can’t they just tell us?
right on tom…..these guys want to show you there multi-million dollar bank account and tell you how they left big business behind to help the “little guy” yet he still needs to add my 50 bucks onto his already oversized pile
II just watched the entire presentation of Real Wealth Strategist and it has me thinking “Is this to good to be true”?
I was wondering if anyone can tell me if this is a SCAM?? Unfortunately, there are so many people who will take advantage of others that you trust No-One! Thoughts…, has anyone out there received these FREEDOM CHECKS??
Thanks for replying!
Jan, it is not exactly a scam, but certainly misleading. He calls them Freedom Checks. I call them dividends, and yes, I have been receiving them for decades. You do NOT just sign up for them, you invest in a company, which in this case is usually a REIT or master limited partnership, and every 3 months you receive a dividend or call it a “distribution”. . The REITS are required by law to distribute 90% of their earnings, so to get the size of checks he describes would require a huge investment. This is conveniently not mentioned. He works… Read More »
Hey Blue Cat, thanks for your answer; just out of curiosity, about how much did you invest to receive $100 quarterly?
Typically these companies are paying in the range of 5-7% annually. So a $10000 investment will give about $125 checks four times a year. You can pick companies that pay different months so as to get a check every month. To get a fantastic $6000 check monthly would require something over a million dollar investment. Realistically, that should not be all put in one company, either. I take issue with comparing this investment to Social Security. You definitely do NOT sign up for “freedom checks”! You make an investment and collect dividends. Those related to oil, for example, are likely… Read More »
Maybe I missed it,j blue cat. Did you mention how long you have been with the Real Wealth Strategist ?
About 6 months.
Thank you Blue Cat for sharing the details of your experience. You have helped me a great deal through your sharing.
So with the mentioned $10 initial investment, it doesn’t should like there is much of a return. Would you agree? What investment would you suggest to get a $1000-$5000 month or quarter dividend?
$10 initial investment? Not worthwhile unless you are just monitoring. The % indicated dividends on these REITs vary, but something like $500000 distributed over all Badiali’s REIT picks should produce something like $5000 quarterly. Remember, they have to pay out almost all their earning so how is the company to grow? Depending on your age and health, you might do better with a regular company that increases its dividend every year.
