# 1 newsletter on the planet, bill spetrino is amazing. You can hear the conviction in his voice on the podcasts. I have done extremely well with divided machine and inner circle.
I figure it to be my duty to all serious investors to continually update my thoughts about Bill Spetrino. All the menbers of Bill’s By Invitation Only Forum have total confidence in his advisory skills, as well as his sincere caring for all the members. I am not a member Bill’s Inner Circle, because I lack the skills to be a successful option trader. I did consider joining, & unscrupulous advisors would have taken my subscription money, but Bill told me that it would not benefit from being a member. The people that associate with Bill Spetrino are a quantum leap above me.
I got into stock trading after my wife passed away. I had been losing thousands of dollars taking the advice of several advisors,
and also attempting to find good stocks through my own research. There’s very little need for me a B.I.O. member to go through all that work, yet they do extensive research in addition to what Bill has done. Everyone shares their knowledge and experience, and they posts theit current portfolio, as well as the strategies they have been using. Many new members, who have never done any option trading before learn quickly from Bill, and the other option traders. There are hundreds of posts each day,
including the weekends, and Bill responds wherever help is needed, or to praise a members performance. Bill’s Dividend
Machine newsletter is only devoted to stock trades which is a bargain at $100/year. His forum builds on the TDM newsletter, and is well worth subscribing to. I mention in a previous post that Bill’s Cafe sction discusses a persons interess. Some members who are looking to relocate, or start a small business
start a thread in the Cafe, and get first hand information. The members have either worked at some of the companies whose stocks we buy, or they know of friends who have worked there.
In othe words there’s a wealth oifminformation to be had when you associate with Bill DSpetrino, and a chance to become wealthy. I am far from being wealthy, as Bill & quite a few of the members are, but i am no longer losing money doing it my way.
I still get off track, and there’s always Bill, or some of the others who remind me to remain focused. One last tidbit. It requires a lot of hard work to be a successful investor. Bill often tells us to reread something he, or one of the others posted. If you contact Bill he might offer you a trial subscription for several months, if he feels that you will fit in with everyone. If you do join, as a result of reading this, you can address a post to Scooch. That’s a name that my Italian descent wife gave me. I look forward to meeting new members. The BIO members are from just about every state in the United States (including two members who reside in Alaska. There are several doctors and lawyers. One of the doctors lives in th Black Forest in Germany. From th posts I’ve read on Stock Gumshoe, there are many investors who gave
up hope of ever findingon a talented, honest advisor. Take my advice, and check out Bill Spetrino. He also conducts a weekend Fair about once a month. My health doesn’t permit me to travel, so I’ve never attended one of the Fairs, but everyone who has raves about hjow beneficial it was to meet Bill and many of the members face to face. I am not getting paid to write this, nor has Bill asked me to do so. I want you to know about Bill’s services. Many members have been able to retire early as a result of following Bills stock & option recommendations. I’ve gotten to know more members than the folks with whom I attend Mass. I moved to North Carolina after my wife passed away. Good luck to all.
Hi, i wanted to join Bill Spetrino’s B.I.O. forum as i am member with Bill since last 4 years and i have been just watching him and he is amazing through out. I been to so many investor but no one can come close to Bill for sure. But i want to know how good his B.I.O. forum is ??
I plan to give an update to what’s happening with Bill Spetrino’s B.I.O. forum. My previous one was quite lengthy. This one is just one brief comment. The Market has become crazier than usual these past few weeks. I would have expected to hear a lot og complaints and loss of faith in Bill Spetrino, but just the opposite happened. There were no complaints. Not one single one. An amazing thing happened. The hundreds of members in Bill’s unique forum became even stronger then when veryone was showing YTD gains. I know you will find this hard to believe, but it’s the truth. Why don’t you contact Mr. Spetrino anto see if you could sign up for an inexpensive trial subscription. When you read a good number of posts you will come to realize that the forum is the place to be. I’m an 85 year old geezer, who is pretty much fixed in his ways, and hard to convince, yet I have become totaslly convinced about Bills ability to teach and to guide each and everyone of us. He is totally dedicated to his profession. He doesn’t fritter away his time trying to get investors to sign up for additional newslettwrs, and services. This is what I became aware of when I belonged to the Banyan Hill Publishing group.
I was offered a lifetime subscription for an additional $10,000.
Why would I be interested in such a stupid offer at my age. I remained with them for awhile, because I made a few thousand dollars at first, and I thought the editor of the newsletter I had subscribed to was a personable guy. Investors aren’t interested about how seemingly nice an advisor is. They’re looking to maximize the return on the money they have invested in stocks, or options. Bill happens to be a friendly guy, and he compliments members when they post, or do something favorable to help the forum become even greater. I had promised to be brief, so I will sign off , and save some of my thoughts for my next post. If you do join, and wish to contact me, look for ‘Scooch’. God bless you all.
I have cancelled service after 5 years . SNAP and RIG were really bad call .
I began following Bill since last February, as a subscriber to his
$100/year Dividend Machine newsletter, & his By Invitation Only forum. I didn’t get involved with RIG, but I have witnessed SNAP slow but surely going up (now a little over $9/share). This stock is not listed with Bill’s Conservative recommendations. It’s listed as an Aggressive stock. Bill advised his subscribers to limit their weighting. Not everyone lost money investing in RIG, but the important thing to keep in mind is to judge Bill on all his recommendations, and to bear in mind that he’s been averaging
a 27% gain. He’s never had two bad years in a row. I believe it’s very important for investors to know their comfort level when investing. Andy, did you stick with Bill’s suggested allocation
weightings, or did you load up on stocks such as RIG? It took awhile, but Bill’s favorite ‘chip stocks’ are beginning to go up, just like he had said they would. Andy, I hope you are doing well since you cancelled Bill’s services. I think the $100 newsletter is a real bargain. The B.I.O. forum is relatively inexpensive, but may not be of use to investors who don’t have the time to study the posts, and to make posts of their own. An investor can learn how to become an option trader by studing posts made by Bill and the others. I’ll be 86 in July, and I’m finding that I lack the energy to fully benefit from being a B.I.O. member.
You violated the cardinal rule with SNAP, Patience. RIg ws one of the very few losers he had, but that was not in the 100% successful COnservative portfolio.
snap went from 10 to 83 fyi
Why not just buy GAB and earn at least 10% dividends/year with a 30 year track record. 30 years, 10% per year.
Buy a stock for growth, not just dividend
unless the size of the dividend increases over those 30 years at a rate that exceeds inflation, the value of that dividend is decreasing each year. in the short run, you might not notice it, but over a 30 year period, you will definitely notice it. that is the main problem with closed-end funds. you can overcome a part of this by only buying cefs when they are selling at a discount to nav. and then selling them when they revert to nav or sell at a premium. but that reversion doesn’t always happen – and when it does happen it often means that the nav is decreasing which means you are losing money.
You’d be amazed how all the investors who “stayed the course” as Bill had advised them, when the Market had gone crazy at the end of 2018, are have fantastic gains for 2019. These gains have made up for any losses from 2018. One member of yje By Invitation Only forum has a YTD gain of 105%. He is fully invested, and uses margin for option trading, which may not be for the ‘faint of heart’. Investors who are following Bill Spetrino have different ‘comfort levels’. Older retired folks, such as myself, feel most comfortable taking less of a calculated risk. Bill gets to know all of his subscribers, and is always availavble to give them guidance. I friend of mine was allowed to sign up for a two month trial subscription. I don’t know if he will do that for everyone, but you should give it a try. I can assure you that you will not regret doing so. I go by the name Scooch, in case you do decide to check things out. The Dividend Machine Newsletter is only $100, which is a real bargain. Bill also has Investment Fairs throughout the year,
in various states. The forum was not designed to be be a social media, but besides having serious discussions about stocks & options, there’s a Cafe section where the members discuss things
that don’t pertain to investing. Many of the members have become close friends with Bill, and other members. Bill started a Truth Podcast on YouTube, to combat the false news reports. There are quite a few men & women who have a lot of money to invest, and there are many others who are just beginning to build their fortune. I’ll be 86 years old in July, so I don’t have any aspirations of becoming very wealthy (it’s a bit too late for that).
Bill Spetrino is the best advisor that’s affordable to the average investor. I considered myself to be an average investor, but after being a member of Bill Spetrino’s BIO forum for 14 months I realize that I have the potential to become a much better investor.
Bill, and hundreds of other’s not only redommend very good stocks, they eplain why they are very good. Morgan Housel wrote an article telling what’s the most importsnt thing sn investor must know. He said we need to know ourselves, before we start investing. There have been investors who subscribed to Bill’s Dividend Machine newsletter & podcasts, the BIO forum, and the Inner Circle, and when the Market went into a severe downturn they panicked, and jumped ship, blaming Bill. Don’t bother to subscribe to Bill’s advisory services for stocks and options, if you know you will lose heart very easily. I have read hundreds of posts from hundreds of BIO members who have listened to Bill, and stayted the course. Whatever loses they encountered were only temporary. If you are more comfrortable taking less calculated risks, and are willing to settle for less gains, Bill respects your decision. The BIO forum is built on trust, faith and respect for
Bill, and all the members. There’s a Cafe section where we excnage our favoite jokes, and share funny anecdotes. We all lend support to one another. Many friendships have been formed awith Bill as well as fellow members. Bill hosts a Fait about every mont, or so, and you will have a chance to meet each other face to face. I read many post here on Stock Gumshoe where investors gave up searching for a good advisor, thinking there were no good ones, and all they wanted was to gouge you out of your hard earned money. Ameriprise Financial looks to be a great company to help investors make a great return. That is far from the truth.
Bill recently started Truth Machine videos on YouTube. Check it
out. I think I’ve about covered it all. I hope to greet you when you become a BIO member. Look for ‘Scooch’. I’ll be 86 in July, but I’m far from being senile. I’ll match wits with anyone. I may not be the wealthiest, or the most articulate, nor do I know how to advise anyone. I have gotten to know Bill, his brother Anthony, and many members who are brilliant, and from all walks of life, and from countries all over the world. What are you waiting for?
If you are hoping to retire early, sign up for Bill’s investment advisory services. I guarantee that you will not regret it. You’ll make money, and you’ll enjoy being associated with hundreds of fantastic generous, successful investors (both men & women).
I have been attempting to periodically update my posts from time to time so that other investors will have the opportunity to check out Bill Spetrino’s advisory services such as his Dividend Machine newsletter, and his BIO forum. I am not going to list all the fantastic YTD returns made by Bill and over 300 very serious investors who follow his plays & recommendations. I promise you that you will not be disappointed with what this fantastic advisor has to offer.
The market at the end of 2018 did not significantly decresease everyone’s portfolio, just those who insist on being long all the time. Mine quadrupled through buying puts and selling calls (credit) spreads.
I didn’t get a chance in yesterday’s comments to mention that Bill Spetrino has added another 3 million dollars to the 17 million he already had when I became a BIO member, & also a subscriber to Bill’s TDM newsletter) seventeen months ago.
The Market at the end of last year significantly decreased everyone’s portfolio, including Bill’s. There were a few members who panicked and didn’t ‘stay the course, even though Bill kept telling us that the Market would recover, and we’d regain what we lost, and gain even more. He’s talking from years of experience, risking his own money. He posts the plays that he makes
with stocks and options. He also posts his YTD gains/losses. Now everyone’s been celebrating, and congratulating each other, and thanking Bill Spetrino for the wonderful coaching job that he did when the going had gotten rough and helped us to become richer than we had ever dreamed was possible. There are many brilliant investors with lots of experience who are proud to have been invited to be a member of Bill’s By Invitation Only forum. Ther are also many new members who have less experience & knowledge. I can’t think of anything more to say to those of you who have given up hope of ever finding an advisor who you could trust, and have faith in. Bill is not a charlatan like many of the others who are only looking to take your hard-earned savings. I go by the name ‘Scooch’. Contact me with a BIO post if you discovered Bill Spetrino from what I’ve written here. There are quite a few millionaires who are members of the forum. I don’t happen to be one of them. I’m an 86 year old geezer who has enough to get by, thanks to the nest egg my wife & I had saved. Unfortunately, Mary didn’t live long enough to get the full benefit from the money we had set aside for our ‘Golden Years’ together. Being associated with a super friendly group where everyone helps each other to improve their investment skills has helped me to adjust to being a widower (after being married for 43 years). There’s a Cafe section where we discuss things other than our investments(even Religion & Politics without getting into an argument). We all have the utmost respect for one another. The forum is an integrated step up from the Dividend Machine newsletter. I hope to see you there. Take care.
I haven’t posted in awhile, and the only thing I wish to emphasize is the need for investors who subscribe to Bill Spetrino’s services must be pateient, and displined to notstick to the course that Bill has laid out. Some new members will do very good right from the start, depending on where the Market is when they join. I haven’t read a post by any of the over 300 members of the BIO forum (that Spetrino owns and controls) where any they found fault with Bill in any way. I was just reading about Angels & Entrepreneurs that Robert Herjavec has been recommending, and they use bait & sweich schemes to get you to buy a higher level subscription., plus what’as his name doesn’t invest in. antything he gives you information about, but not a reccomendation. Bill is up front with everything he does, and he invests millions of dollars of his own money in the stocks & option plays he recommends. There have been members who went off track, and didn’t follow Bill, or they focused on a few stocks that were listed with the Aggressive Stocks. He’s the editor for Newsmax, and they want him to offer a
long list of recommendations. When Bill invites you to his unique forum that he calls By Invitation Only (BIO) members are amazed at the the ability for Bill to recommend investing in the ‘very best’ of the stocks listed in the Dividend Machine newsletters and podcasts. A BIO subscription incluse Bill’s techings on trading options, and tell you the plays he makes. Right now many of us are making a lot of money invested in Altria stock. Bill is an ordinary man who’s gifted with many talents, but some of us think of him as being a Whizard. Don’t hesitate to check him. you will discover that he is not like the advisors who are dishonest charlatans who are only interested in taking your hard-earbed money, and not give you anything in return. Many
investors have become very close friends with Bill. I didn’t mention the Fair he has every momnth or so. I haven’t been able to attend any of them, due to my physical condition (I’m 86 byears old). Meeting Bill and others face to face is a tremendous benefit. If you are not willing to be a serious investor, don’t bother to check him out. The cost of Bill’s services are worth it, even if you just want to learn how to become ‘a Value Investor’.
I wanted to make further corrections to the post I just made, but was not able to do so, after my initial editing. I also wanted to mention Neil Patel who is a very successful knowledgeable entrpreneur just like Bill Spetrino, but I know from experience that Bill is out to help people, and I don’t hesitate in recommending his services. I think Robert Hejavec is an honorable successful entrepreneur, so I’m interested in Patel’s Angels & Entrepreneurs, but I keep reading comments from disatisfied subsdribers. It takes at least three years before subscriber’s to what Patel offers will make money. It’s quite possible that they will make even better than what they would make following Bill Spetrino.’s recommendations. Bill has a record to verify his authenticity, but there ‘s very little known about Patel’s Angels & Entrepreneurs. Members following Spetrino will make money within a few months, and they will pay a very smaller fee to subscribe. Read what Travis Johnson has posted here before making a decision.
Bill Spetrino is an exceptional stock analyst and advisor. He makes good stock picks, is patient in holding them and has made me a lot of money. Often, in the past, I doubted some of his picks but in the end………..he is almost always right. He is stubbornly confident that the market will come around to buying his picks, sooner or later based on fundamentals and sound value. He often picks out of favor stocks that no one else wants to touch. When he says to “back up the truck”………..I do and get rewarded for it. His newsletter and advice are a bargain. Trust me when I say that you can trust Bill………..buy his choices that are at, or under the recommended “buy” price level and then sit back and wait for profits to start materializing. I’d be lost in this vast, confusing marketplace if it wasn’t for Bill Spetrino…………….plus, he’s a good guy and very sincere in his desire to help average Joe’s beat the stock market.
What are you waiting for? Don’t you see all the positive things being posted here about the extraordinary Bill Spetrino. Since the last time I posted in July 2019 Bill has made an additional $6 million. You too can become wealthy if you subscribe to his services, follow his advice and his recommendations. It will not always be smooth sailing, but the Skipper is able to guide us through the times when the Market is in turmoil, and all sorts of misinformation storms about. Many investors begin to panic, but we stay the course, and VOILA everyone’s YTD gains are up. You will never regret joining us. We’re like one big family. Everyone does all they can to help one another.
I would like to talk to you about Bill and his services,pls give me a call 609 462 3718
Hi Bob Dilks. I’m a healthy 87-years old. My teeth have been falling out, and my hearing has become worse. I should get myself a hearing aid. Anyway, I just noticed your interest in speaking about Bill nSpetrino’s services. I never speak to anyone privately about Bill. I only do it through posts that I make here as jillsami, and in Bill’s BIO forum. It took me much longer than many of the other BIO members to be convinced about the advantage of becoming a ‘value investor’ which Bill has always been. Spetrino’s record speaks for itself. Invest a few bucks and you decide what you think is true, or not true. The Coronavirus scared away a number of BIO members. Bill’s portfolio got hit hard after the first of the year (2020), but he’s now his total wealth is greater than it ever was. Those who followed his advice were able to recover their losses. I wish you good fortune. Take care.
I still feel the same way about Bill Spetrino as I did a few months ago. This colorful financial advisor is a genuine genius at picking Stocks and Trading Options. Check out The Dividend Machine and The BIO forum. You will be glad that you did, you will make a lot of money, and you will add considerable knowledge to what you already know.
@jillsami, does Bill Spetrino ever do covered calls in his Dividend Machine letter? I’m thinking of getting it. Thanks!
Bill Spetrino is the best stock picker I have ever seen. He is also genuinely concerned about his subscribers. He actually called me personally on 4th of July and talked to me for an hour in response to an email I wrote him. He has called me several other times since. I have made a fortune on his recommendations. You should also check out his inner circle for leveraged plays. http://www.billspetrino.com. 54% up in 2019 alone. I only buy the conservative portfolio, he has never had a loser since 2009. Remarkable newsletter and remarkable caring guy.
I have never met Bill Spetrino but would dearly love to. I have been a Dividend Machine subscriber for several years and fully expect to remain a Dividend Machine subscriber as long as I live. My retirement account has picked up the pace, since I subscribed to The Dividend Machine. Bill Spetrino, at a very young age, learned the value of a Dollar! (A baseball card or two) I highly encourage anyone interested in his advisory, to read up on His background and You will understand where he came from. It’s an interesting read. I believe Mr Spetrino is a “straight Shooter”, with a desire to help folks prepare a better financial future. As stated earlier, I have been a subscriber for years and through reading His advisory and watching the weekly podcast, I soon learned, Bill to be a man of integrity. If you want advice you can rely on and sleep every night you go to bed, I very highly recommend His advisory.
Anyone have the email to reach Mr. Spetrino for consideration for the BIO forum? I see the requirments to be considered, but for some reason the contact form is not generating and the email is nowhere to be found. It seems like you guys are fans of his. Anyone else you guys like in similar fashion?
I have been a member of the Dividend Machine newsletter since January 2020 and the Spetrino Inner Circle since March 2020. My Dividend Machine was a 3 mo trial, and then I bought the 1 year Inner Circle. The newsletters are through Newsmax and it would not take my card which I new to be good when I tried to sign up online at Newsmax so I called them to sign up and was given a better deal over the phone, but it kept declining my card. I even called the bank and they could not figure it out. So I used that card at Walmart to put money on a different prepaid card and called Newsmax back up because the “better deal” was not available online. They then could not find the deal I was told about, but instead found another deal that was better than online, but not as good as the previous call in deal. This was now March 30th and the price was going to roughly triple April 1st. So I called back on March 31st and alas, they could not find the deal I was told about on the 30th. So I took the deal they gave me on the phone on the 31st since it was skyrocketing the next day.
Anyway, I don’t care for Newsmax at all now, even though they are a conservative publication. I also get bombarded by them for newsletters for another author or two as well as tons of political mail from them. I read the stories when a headline catches my attention, but will probably get my name off their mailing list as much as I get from them.
Anyway, the email address for Bill listed in the newsletter says BillS@SpetrinoInnerCircle.com I believe. I have sent two emails now because I was not understanding the Long Call options on my stock broker web site. I also requested the B.I.O. Forum both times and have not heard back from either email.
The Dividend Machine is good for Buy and Hold stocks for a retirement plan, but I’m already getting too close to that for a slow Buy and Hold scenario. I’m figuring this Long Call options out, but haven’t bought any yet. There are pretty few recommended positions though so I’m thinking about canceling Inner Circle and taking a course on Trading and Investing.
I love the letter, share it with my 4 kids and have sent him at least 5 subscribers. I use his picking for 60% of my investments and pick my other 3 stocks because he neither recommended SHOP, TTD nor TWLO. Otherwise, best letter on the market, particularly in stormy times!
Best service ever if you want to make money.
Billy is a pig of a man and narcisstic to the extreme. He’s intolerant of democrats and an enemy of democracy.
