Some good picks, but I have switched to Big Gold. I liked this letter when I was subscribing.
I very much appreciate the warnings as well as the specific good ideas given. Even though it is quite evident Matt Badiali both knows and enjoys his subjects he will occasionally give stern warnings about getting out and taking a breather. There is an apparent honesty and believeability throughout his letters.
Thanks to Matt Badalli’s dirt-cheap S&A Resource Report and John Doody’s Gold Analyst Report I have been able to “get back” the half of my retirement that I lost in 2008 (when I didn’t have their advice). I am very thankful for their advice this past year-and-a-half and hope that they will continue to do as well! I should be writing them a letter of thanks instead of posting my review here.
S&A Resource Report
Matt Badiali does a very good job of researching his picks. He knows his subject and is very interesting (as are all the S&A writers) and educational to read. I have done very well with his picks even though lately it isn’t too hard to be successful in this sector.
Subscribed last in 2009. Some good gold and oil picks, but no detail as to what to expect and when. Most annoying was to get constant solicitations for an expensive ” more exclusive” letter with better picks. And also never a word on past picks that just sit.
Have been a subscriber since inception. By far the best value out there. 12% letter also very good.
Just left feedback on S&A Resource Report on first trip to gumshoe. Mistake on price; I think it was $79. I gave him a 4-star on consistency, but that was with reference to my picks of his suggestions. Like other of your respondents, I use letters as a shortcut for ideas, but do my own research before buying. Can’t grade him on the consistencey of his selections, since I don’t follow them once I decline to buy.
this is part of the wealth alliance which includes several different types of letters/subjects. In my opinion, the fundamental reports are outstanding. They are well written and easy to read and understand. BUT, in some cases the stock prices of recommended issues have already started moving before the write up. SO, an investor must be careful about buying. Maximum buy prices are to be honored. Many recommendations are long term in nature so sharp investors can likely trade the short term swings while keeping a core position.
I have been a Stansberry subscriber for several years and Matt is one of the best and most rewarding advisors that they have along with Steve, Porter, and Jeff Clark. His advice is usually right on. Honest group of advisors that do their best to keep you informed about market conditions.
I subscribed a few years ago, and did not renew. He hits some home runs, but strikes out more often.He hypes his picks to get you into a stock, but never tells you when to get out. His duds simply disappear without any explanation. He could easily send out an e-mail alert, but doesn’t. I got really burned on some of his “can’t miss” stocks like opcdf and atpg. Check out the charts and decide whether or not you can rely on him. I couldn’t.
I have been taking this newsletter since at least 2007. Some of the recommendations I bought have bombed, but I have made money overall. Matt seems to be candid and forthright about the risks connected to his choices. I definitely feel the cost of this newsletter is worth it for anyone interested in investing in energy and natural resources. His copy writers may need medication for mania, however.
The stock indeed is Encore Acquisition (EAC). Matt Badiali has done very well on some picks and lousy on others. Overall, I am pretty well pleased with my “pick of the picks.” As with all stock buying, perform your own due diligence and don’t blindly follow any newsletter editor.
An update to my earlier review and the latest Gumshoe guess on DNR. You are right, as usual. I just got my update yesterday and DNR was touted as a buy. Didn’t buy the stock, just too many in my portfolio right now but it does look like an interesting play.
They have only cost me about $50K in losses with their BQI and OPC.TO picks. I canceled my subscription so I recouped a few bucks on that. Oh well so is life.
I’ve been subscribed to Matt’s “resource” report for almost a year primarily to source reco’s for mining stocks. I like his no hype, detailed narrative. On more speculative reco’s he’ll tell you so. I’m up 70% on SVM and expect to do better based on Matt’s buy and hold rationale. This is probably the only S@A newsletter I’ll continue to renew.
Matt is presently the 2nd highest rated S & A Investor by net profits, is there any other kind?
For $39./yr. Matt’s work is an outright steal, bar none. He went flat when crude oil tanked, since he is a registered geologist, he’s well qualified to reco precious metals & other rare commodity types.
He rates 4.5 stars in my book.
I recently subscribed to this newsletter; so it’s too early to evaluate mid- or long-term performances of the current Portfolio.
This cheap newsletter is offering clear advices on several “commodity” stocks (from penny stocks to high-cap stocks). An enjoyable reading as complement of others financial newsletters.
I have subscribed to multiple publications. I look for picks and then compare them to other services such as Yahoo Finance, Vectorvest, etc. I get a little nervous about penny stock recommendations. Sometimes the hype over a stock is absurd, but overall the newsletter provides a good starting point and background for some picks
If you’re interested in investing in Oil, Gold, Silver and other commodities, this newsletter is one of the better ones. His rational for recommendations is well thought out, makes sense and has overall been quite profitable. I also like Gold Newsletter and Real Wealth newsletter.
I have subscribed since July, 2007. I have made seven trades recommended, both Calls and Common Stocks: LOWES CORP
ALLIS-CHALMERS
VALERO ENERGY
ATP OIL & GAS
ROYAL GOLD
Lost money in six and made profit in only one.
Total loss so far = $16,083.
I ignore their recommendations now.
I get the service as part of a larger package. Would not subscribe to it by itself.
This report isn’t worth the money. Over 3 years ther are more losses than profits. Profits are only possible if you avoid the losers.
My impression is that Matt is more engaged in other activities than writing his newsletter.
I canceled my subscription prematurely and this was simply ignored. And when the subscription end arrived, I was bombarded with Emails to renew.
Not in this life.
I have subscribed for about 1 year and spent the first 6 months reading and watching Matts recommendations. I now take action as soon as I receive the newsletter and my last 3 plays have all been solid winners.
Nine days ago I reviewed Matt Badiali’s S&A Oil Report, and predicted that his current issue’s oil service recommendations would do well. They did: As of today’s close, the three recommendations are up 39.0%, 29.0%, and 27.6%, and these gains are computed from the prices of my first purchases, which could have been a bit lower, although I bought them fairly early in the first trading day (4/8) following his report. Actually, I traded the stocks and did appreciably better than the above percentages.
I have been subscribing for 8 months. I bought two of his gold stock picks. One tanked and I am up 50% on the other, Matt’s picks are commodities. Price is 50 bucks. Best pick was Royal gold.
