I did the trial on Money Map Express and Calendar Payday Pro – It was a short of a wash – I made money on and AAPL trade but lost just as big on a KRE and SKWKs trade – all told I and down a few hundered after a month. I managed to cancel before the Calendar Pro charge me the 900 or 2000 that they are CONSTANTLY PUSHING. I will cancel the Fast Fortune as soon as it runs it course – You only really get one tip per month and other than Apple – I have made more money with Paul Mampilly.

I started to use Robinhood.
You can see when the line goes up over or is down under. Some programs I do not think has that feature? Is cheaper than TD Ameritrade service. I know that TD Ameritrade has been around much longer though.
If there is another program better than Robinhood, I would like to know.
Also I am trying out the program to see how it works as well.
I am also getting stocks that pay out as well as Penney stocks.
I want to pay debts off and help more people.
Thank you.

Linda, if your new to investing Iโ€™d recommend Robinhood. Itโ€™s easy to read and understand for sure. TD Ameritrade is awesome if your more experienced, but thatโ€™s just my opinion but of course it depends on if your buying and holding, trading options โ€œPuts or callsโ€ for basics, or what your niche is. Thereโ€™s honestly so many to choose from out there. Just trying to help out, you may be more experienced than myself so thatโ€™s just my 2 cents in case it may help. Good Luck!!!

I joined the FF Club. I have lost money overall on the trade recs. It is entirely possible that over the last 10 yr bull run we have had since 2008, that TG’s pattern trading approach may have paid off. However, with the markets now pulling back, possibly consolidating before another run upwards – who knows – it seems irresponsible to me to keep pumping out the same trade recs, based on historical data, without taking the current market conditions into account. I honestly believe i would have had the same trading results reading the tea leaves left after my morning cup of tea.

the fast fortune part of his is down right gambling
he recommended to sell naked options twice ,
with out warning and was wrong !
i hate to think how much they lost
glad i do not have rights or margin for that !
he has 3 services for calander alerts
1 ] weekly [ do not have ]
2 ] calls only [ which he just violated ! [ fair ]
3 ] pro with multi level option spread/ butterfly’s/ etc [ usually more plays ]
and the recent fast fortune which repeats the above trades days later and no close out advice
over all it might be good ,
but if you pick and choose , not so good if u pick wrong !

I’m new on here. I’m a Army Sgt. Excuse me medically retired Army Sgt. I am very ashamed to admit this but I live VA disability check to check. I’m in debt, but I want to be able to pay my debt in investing so I can leave money to my wife and 3 children before I die. I’m 40 something yrs old and just found out I have a massive size brain tumor. I’m not asking for sympathy but asking for prayers, wishes and anything else like that. Like I said I live disability check to next month check and it’s not much. Can anyone recommend a investment company or whatever they are called that would let me invest around $100 to $200 a month and won’t lose my ass? I know nothing about investing either but I’m eager to learn.

Welcome, Scott, to the SG community! You’ll find lots of good people here, and many of us don’t have as much money as “qualified investors” do. I think that requires $250,000 for those investment companies to talk to you.

My husband was in the army, and set up an account through USAA. They used to be for officers only, but that has changed over the years. They have investing help on-line, but since his account is small, we just keep it in one fund, so I haven’t personally used their help desk. Our adult daughters have maintained their car insurance and a checking account with USAA, as have we. Besides having great rates, they appreciate and acknowledge your military service – some connection to the military is a requirement for membership.

Ric Edelman has an investment company that was initiating services for those of us with less to invest. They have a weekly radio show, good website, and offices and seminars around the country. I was very impressed when I attended a seminar, but currently still do my own investing.

My neice passed away after fighting a brain tumor, so I don’t want to gloss over yours. You will be in my prayers. Also, I’m not sure how your question ended up in this section, but I happened upon it on the “most recent comments” page.

Scott,
Depending on where you live, investing in income real estate (starter homes, duplexes, etc), bought cheaply out of foreclosure or with help of a trust-worthy Realtor. You have built-in advantage of being a Veteran, as you qualify for VA loans of No-money Down mortgage, and low-cost insurance thru USAA. You may have to live in a property for a few months to a year before renting it out or flipping for profit to avoid capital gains taxes. If you are handy to do minor improvements (painting, landscaping, etc), you can expect to either gain rental income or flip the house for 10%-20% gain. Sale of primary residence is tax-free up to $250,000 profit for single, $500,000 for married couple. As a lRE agent, I think this present housing shortage and “boomlet” will continue another 2-3 years.

A sure sign that the housing bubble is bursting. Housing starts are down to lowest level in years. Houses in TX were selling in June with an average 15 days listing. Now it’s 60-70 days or more. Prices are dropping. In August I got an email from the local college advertising a course on how to flip houses. That was the sign of the top of the market, and sure enough, the TX housing market has dropped precipitously since then (I know, I finally sold my house there, took 4 months). Getting into flipping houses now will be akin to starting in 2007-2008. You’ll be stuck holding the bag. The easy flip gains are over, don’t get suckered in.

Iโ€™d recommend
1. Study really well before committing $.
2. Realize currency trades trend better than stick trades, but you REALLY have to know what you are doing.
3. Paper trade before committing $.
4. Buy a book written by Harry Dent.
5. Tumor? Watch: Netflix: The Beautiful Truth and get the book written Lorraine Day: Iโ€™m not afraid of cancer anymore.
6. Get to know Jesus. 1-5 above donโ€™t work well without Him.

Hi Scott,
First let me thank you for your service!
Great feedback from others and just wanted to add a couple of thoughts. Yahoo Finance has TONs of tools and tutorials for you to start learning how to navigate the investing landscape. If you are starting with a smaller account you may want to look at Robinhood.com since they dont charge trade commissions. With a smaller account commissions can diminish profits. I would also recommend you look at Phil Town’s books on investing for a starting point.

Best regards,
Dustin

Hi Scott
Let me begin by thanking you for your service. Sorry but I can’t help you with investing, but I wanted to pass along something that might help your health condition.
Reading about your brain tumor reminded me of a lady by the name of Angel Raich. I happened to see a story about her on Montel Williams. I believe it was back in the early 2000s. As I recall Angel had several diseases and one was causing a huge brain tumor.
She had tried every medicine that her doctors knew about and nothing worked. She looked like a holocost survivor and weighed around 80 lbs. She didn’t have the strength to walk on her own.
That’s when her Dr. suggested that she try cannabis. He told her she had nothing to lose. Fast forward and to see her now you would never know she was sick.
That story opened my eyes to the medical benefits of cannibis. Her treatment was smoking every couple of hours every day, and it obviously healed her.
Later I learned about Rick Simpson’s Hemp oil which is probably a better way to get the cannabinoids into the body.(more potent).
And I have known several people that have cured cancer with RSHO. But it also heals other diseases as well.
You can Google Rick Simpson’s Hemp Oil and it tells you how to make it yourself, which is probably best. If you live in a Medical Marijuana state you can buy it. But you don’t know how it was made. Maybe not up to RSHO strength.
I believe God gave us this plant to heal a variety of ailments. Oterwise why was it illegal for so long. And not even allowed to do studies on it. I hope this can help you.
God bless you

Tom Gentile’s Money Calendar is nonsense. He claims that he has 10 years of historical records. With this data, he can predict what the stock will do, 9 times out of 10. That means he can predict, with 90% accuracy, what the stock will do now. I wish that were true. Over a 90 day period, I placed 27 trades. Of the 27, 4 turned-out to be winners (15% win ratio). After the initial $999 program purchase, I extended to the end of the year for another $1,000. Of the 27 trades, I lost another $1500. Total 3 month loss was $3,500. Time to cut & run.

Find a strategy you easily understand entry & exit, then do your own back testing using TOS Think Back option tester. Set your rules, select a stock, click on Think Back, enter your start date, select option and select p/l date, get results. Write it down, do it again with other stocks till you find your niche. Google trading meet ups to meet fellow local traders. There is always the giver whom will be helpful to getting you on the right track. Also, look for Facebook groups to Zoom.

And still he continues with his blatant lies and misrepresentations – the latest come-on:

Greetings Reader,
In 2015, Tom Gentile launched his patent-pending Money Calendar system to find triple-digit winners on even the smallest stock price moves – in just 30 days or less.
In 2016, he unveiled an unprecedented moneymaking pattern with the potential to double your money in four days or less, week after week.
In the last three years, he’s handed readers the chance to double their money a staggering 214 times.
But on Thursday, December 6, he’s doing something unprecedented.
It’s a breakthrough so powerful that it could put you in position to double your money every single day of the week, Monday through Friday, 250 times every single year.
You read that right… an opportunity to double your money every day the markets are open. Automatically opts in your e-mail (privacy policy)
Think about that for a second…
If you had the benefit of Alpha-9 over a one week period, you could have made a trade every day…
And closed them all out for big potential wins all within a couple weeks. You could collect $2,775 on Monday’s trade… $2,575 on Tuesday’s trade… $4,350 on Wednesday’s trade… $3,125 on Thursday’s trade… and $2,975 on Friday’s trade…
Add it up and these fast-cash plays hitting your inbox every day could easily hand you $1 million in just 12 months’ time.
Tom will share all the details behind this exciting breakthrough during his special event on December 6 at 1 p.m. EST.

So, if he can make $1M in 12 months, why does he need YOUR money? What BS.

I assigned it and it cost me some bucks. But that was my fault. I have learned alot. I joined another program, checked it out. Was not happy so they refunded my money right away. When I have questions he often addresses it on his war room videos. Cheaper then college.

For the FBI to start an investigation, need a group to file a complaint. FBI only goes fishing when there is a big enough outcome.
Where this needs to go to is the FTC with proof of what is said and not delivered like; guarantee refund, performance (this is big with FTC, you promise someone a million, be ready to deliver or the FTC will come after you) and continued failed recommendations as misrepresentation from the video.
I didn’t buy 2 years ago and still won’t buy because there really isn’t anything thing new indicators. Even algorithms still need past data to predict the future. TradeSpoon is way better at $600 a year. Education, predictions and recommendations. Like any tool, learn first how to use.

Tom Gentile, Alpha-9 Trader: 100% MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE is a joke
“I guarantee Iโ€™ll give you at least 250 DOUBLE-YOUR-MONEY trade recommendations in the coming year.” Easy! A monkey with an email address could send out 250 **recommendations** a year. There is no guarantee that even 1 of the recommendations will make you any money.

“If you donโ€™t see 250 chances to double your money in a yearโ€™s time… Iโ€™ll refund every penny of your subscription price.” Buying literally *any* stock gives you a “chance to double your money”! Heck, buying a lottery ticket gives you “a chance” at huge riches.

Conclusion: This “100% money-back guarantee” means absolutely nothing. You could only claim it if he fails to send you 250 trade recommendations in a year, which of course he will. There is absolutely no guarantee that the recommendations will be profitable, let alone “double your money”! There could be a major stock market crash in the next year, making every single recommendation a loser, and you would still not get a penny back.

It is an interesting video clip. It got its own merits, but cannot understand what indicators Tom used. Looks like MAs, Mom, Compression & Velocity he used to pinpoint the trends. From ranges the trend suddenly got cylingshot reversal upward movement is the time to buy & hold and exit with huge profits. I tried to work out, how to? but not successful. He will not make it easy , otherwise how he would sell his idea.

I am a charter member of Alpha-9 Trader and there is a way to get a refund on their guarantee after waiting a year. Tom Gentile’s 100% money-back guarantee does state if you don’t see 250 chances to double your money in a year’s time, he will refund every penny of your subscription price.. That can’t happen because there are only two recommendations a day, but one of the recommendations is always a put spread with only a maximum 80% profit. The other one is a call spread with a 100% profit. If you take the stock market days they are open minus the holidays they are closed, then there will be just about 250 trading days. But! Tom has days so far where there are no recommendations. Right now, it would be impossible to receive 250 Double Your Money trade recommendations over one year.

BTW, any current member can also go to their website and view Alpha-9 member’s comments at the Alpha-9 Trader’s Network. It is like a forum with members comments good or bad. I can assure you that the majority are all negative. Also, Tom’s new V3 program has one also, and comments are just as bad, but Tom has a 90-day 100% money-back unconditional guarantee.

I am also a lifetime member of Tom’s Money Calendar Pro and it has been very successful for me. I did see another member here comment positive about it.

Two things: 1) the guarantee is worthless. It’s absolved of any liability by use of the word “chance”. He gives you the “chance” to make fabulous $$. Shucks, we all have the “chance” to make millions every month if we simply just buy stocks/options low and sell them high. 2) even worse, you WILL lose money, lots of money. These types of scams rely on the “revolving door” marketing strategy that takes money from new subscribers, never gives a refund, and takes more money from fresh new subscribers that continually replace those who leave after suffering the inevitable losses.

Besides making money from the subscriptions, I also think he is being paid by big time investment companies to use his reputation to manipulate the market with this Money Calender. They get people to invest at certain times using the Money Calender while they buy and sell one step ahead of their subscription buyers.

I completely agree. He NEVER, I repeat NEVER reveals his exact buy-in date and time, nor his exact purchase price of ANY of his recommendations. I have ALWAYS thought that he times his own buying and selling to take further advantage of his subscribers when they buy and sell.

This policy of non-transparency is VERY frustrating … and makes me not trust him at all. You see this enables other under-handed tricks, hiding his losers and making grandiose claims of doubles.

Alas, I am stuck because he has my $$. I could walk away but then I would be throwing that subscription money away. So I pick and choose as carefully as I possible can, and try my best to avoid his losers and stay in the black.

Why not just trade the opposite of him? If most of his trades are losers, then the person on the other side of the trades is winning!

This is not true. On Alpha 9 he tells you exactly how to make the trades and get in at what cost and to get out.

OK, so my question is… Are you happy with Alpha 9 and are you making the profits to justify the buy-in?

Anna- yes he recommends the purchase price and date …

…. but read carefully what I said … he never reveals HIS exact buy-in date and time, nor HIS exact purchase price of ANY of his recommendations.

This is how he embellishes his performance and crows about outlandish claims of doubles (100% gainers).

This guy is as shady as they come …. I am only able to be reasonably successful by picking and choosing which of his recommendations to follow and to do my own additional analysis on top of his recommendations. Thus I have been more successful this year avoiding his losers.

I am subscribed to Alpha 9 as well as Money Calendar and so far if you want to make money do the opposite… $2,500 down the drain in Alpha 9 I will continue two or three more recommendations to see if I get lucky to break even at least

Tom Gentile is one of the most experienced option traders you can find. He would be in the top 10 in terms of knowledge & experience. And I admire Tom for his knowledge. But that’s where it stops. I think he has sold out to the mighty $. The Money Calendar alert is rubbish. Out of my last 10 trades he recommended at least 8 lost money. And in one case (SWKS, I think it was October 2018) he said it was a raging buy but then recommended a long Put. Well, SWKS turned into a raging buy but you would have lost the lot on the Put. That’s just sloppy & careless. His worst recommendation was a naked Put on FB 1 or 2 days before it announced its results which would have provided income of $100 per contract and was rated as an almost nil risk trade. Well, it would have cost you $2,500 per contract to buy this back when FB tanked. Some followers might have lost their shirt. Selling naked puts is not a desirable recommendation for people not familiar with options. Almost all recommendations are long calls or bull call spreads which do well when the market is bullish. The market is currently bearish and I believe the vast majority of recent recommendations (Nov. – Dec. 2018) have been on stocks which fell, along with the market. But in a bullish market just about anyone would make money buying bullish trades.

How do I get my hands on money calendar without buying into the BS program? Want to track his trades to see how many are losers. Jake Burkstien promised same type seasonal results with futures and after I called him on it that 90% of his infomercials recommendations lost money he asked me to close my brokerage account

Are you sure you have that FB trade correct? Does not sound like the sort of thing i remember from attending Optionetics courses with Tom and George back in the day when i was starting my trading career. Naked options are fine on the right asset and under favourable conditions.

Tom Gentile Alpha 9 as of Dec 21, 2018:
I just sent 4 hours going through his Hollywood studio Alpha 9 pitch, 3 videos passes. Screen captured his winning examples and reproduce on my chart. He hints through the video: SP500, 12 Day period, 3 alpha bands, Richard Dennis & Jerry Parker (Turtle Trader Instructor & student respectively), visual entry points & 4 week period for over 100% ROI options.

The final seller is everyday winners, which means that after entering the trades and have at least 20 trades in play, you should be exiting one trade per day in 20 trading days (4 weeks). Anticipation profit.

Also, recommendations are suppose to be in 85% up possibility. Thus, this needs strong volume; like vol>than 20 daily average since it is a 4 week anticipation for 100% ROI.

Since it is the SP500, this is an uptrend trading system, doing debit Calls, thus controlling losses to least possible.
In the other hand is to getting as much as possible wins.

This is a never ending winning stream because you are to add at least one trade back a day to have at 20 trades in play at any given time. This is the first flaw I see, no system is 100% winners. There will be some losses, anticipation small with tight stops and easy to turn losers to winners. Lose some battles, win the war. The Market will do what it wants, you just need to be nibble enough to catch the bull and learn to let go safely with profit.

To double, need at least the same amount entering the trade to have an expectation of 100% ROI at the exit.
Therefore, hurdle one, enough money for SP500 Call options for number of contracts for at least 20 trade positions.

An example is ROST entry around May 29 for a profit of $4175.
Therefore, to have double one contract, the Call option would had to be 4175/100 = 41.75 a Call option.
Tom’s doesn’t reveal which Call, therefore stay to the standard 90 DTE @ ATM.

Using TOS Think Back to May 29, Call Option ATM with 90>DTE was November 2018 at 6.80 a share, $680 a contract with above Vol>20 Day Average on May 29, which it had. Thus, to get profit at 4175/680 = 6 contracts, cost 4080.
Now, let us see if we hit 100% ROI stepping through Think Back entering 6 contracts November 2018 (90Days > DTE) on May 29 at ATM.

The highest closing price was June 8th., Think Back reports a profit of $10,290, 252% ROI.
Since there was no exit mentioned, you will need to develop your own exit rules & stick to them.

Many of my instructors say, “It is easy to get into a trade, it is having the courage to pull the exit according to rules you will stick with.” My rule is simple, anything over 150% ROI, I use the EOD Low at close as the Exit for next day.

In this case, my exit would had been last bar low of June 11, 2018, exit trigger on June 12, 2018, exit $10430/4080 = 255% ROI. This can be expected with good entry conditions, I have had these kinds of experiences.

Here is the hard part in this example; it the average trade is $4000 to get double thousands, you need $4000 x 20 positions = $80,000 trading capital. Thus, it is feasible to reach the one million doubling $80,000 every 20 days. Yet, not realistic as the current market of December 2018. Still, with good risk management control in place when the majority SP500 market starts its return, you are ready to make profit.

Recall, this example was cherry pick by Alpha 9, thus my fellow traders here will have to figure what is the exact entry conditions from Tom’s clues. I have my thoughts, yet, till they need verification by my senior trading fellows, I will have to leave it there for you.

As for the Alpha 9 program, looking at all the entries in the video, it really looks like moving averages & a set of entry rules base on vol>20 daily average. True, Wall Street does not use moving averages for entry, they use fundamentals, buy on pull backs and target exit profit according to their analysts. I know first hand interviewing portfolio managers for a major pension fund for 4 years.

The draw back for everyday Call trades would be hard press today, Dec 21, 2018, with the Dow starting its fall around Oct 3rd to the lowest of the whole year today, Dec 21, 2018.

Yet, Alpha 9 is geared to short term, the up & downs might produce some opportunities. In other videos, Tom does do Puts with the reverse conditions. Just YouTube, the answers are out there. Just be committed to do a lot of viewing hours and finding your own trade style.

In closing, as real protraders, we need to learn and do our own work. Recommendation services are as good as their performance.

For beginners, which I was in January 2013; study any offer, research the pitcher, product and seek out others for their results. Not their opinion, performance is what counts to your bank account. Trading is not an overnight moneymaker, yet, over sometime depending on your education, understanding and trade cautiously, you will start making an income and/or build wealth.
