I have paid for Alpha 9 and the Money Weekly Call.
After the great membership service support, the customer service is horrible.
1. Regular calls to Customer Service gets, “sorry we are in a meeting”, so call later
2. The “trade alerts” have major losses and few winners—-despite the PR of a 90% positive gains.
3. IN May/June, there were 10 call trades that lost 100% value —. So if you followed the entry and exit strategy from Alpha 9, you often lost 100%
4. In July: consider
a. often you cannot get a fill order even when you enter a trade immediately when the alert is sent.
b.
-July 11: Buy DIEGO (DEO) for $2,30. July 25 the value is $0.20
-July 17 Buy Varien (VAR) for $2.10. July 25 value is $0,10
-July 18: Buy DMC Global (BOOM) for $2.30. July 25 value is $1.10
-July 25: Buy Oracle (ORCL) for $3.95. Hours later sent an “error” note to buy for $2,00. (already made buys at $2,20)
The reality is if you follow the directions 100% as recommended in the “Alpha 9 alerts” you will frequently get 100% LOSSES with ZERO updates for exits.
Alpha 9 send out the “take your profit” notes—-but nothing on the majority of BIG losses!
Again—if you can EVER get a customer service representative to answer a phone call, they will only say “you are responsible to monitor you trades”
So, no help or regular HONEST updates with Alpha 9 alerts!
Standard options service BS. Promise the moon, but impossible to make money from it. Face it, the people who write options are professionals with deep pockets, and they price them to make money from YOU, the sucker. They’re the ones who make money 95% of the time writing options, while 95% of the time, buyers of options (such as you), lose. Tom Gentile is supposed to be such a great options trader, yet he can’t do better than what any clueless retail buyer of options can do, 5% wins. As I’ve pointed out before, if he can double his money every day (which he has claimed) and can make $1M in 12 months, why does he need your $2000? Why does he need to upsell you on more “services”. It’s all a scam, as almost any options buying recommendation service is. IT should be very clear from this site and the comments, that anything from this guy is just a scam and you will lose what you pay him, AND lose much more on his “recommendations”. While he’s laughing himself silly spending your money.
I joined the Fast Fortune Club and found that I only got two trades a month and one of those was often a spread which I wasn’t qualified for by my broker. I took some option training through my broker and was approved for spread trades. I wasn’t doing well with a couple of trades a month so I upgraded to Money Calendar Pro which gave me 8 trades a month.
A couple things I learned are; take Tom’s advice on the price to get in. If you pay more just to get in it could make the difference between profit and loss.
Don’t get too greedy although Tom says every trade is a possible double and many are I have been cashing out at 80 to 90 percent. I got burnt a couple times and decided that if I can make 80% in a short time that’s good enough for me with less stress.
Look at the five year stock price when making decisions on when to get out of a trade. I got out of a trade at 85% profit when the stock was $2.00 above the 5 year high and the advice was to hold on.
In a way I like doing a red or green trade (Call or put) because I could put in a sell price and it would be sold even if it reached that price for one minute so you didn’t have to watch the market every minute.
I checked out V3 which gives you minimum 200 trades a year but I will stick with the PRO because I want quality not quantity.
I started my brokerage account with an amount I can afford to lose and the knowledge that I will never double my money every trade until I make a million in a couple of months. I am confident that I will continue to make a profit after originally losing some learning a few lessons at the beginning.
As of today my profit is almost 10k and I am confident that it will continue to grow . I also know there will be a few losing trades which is why invest 10% of my cash on every trade instead of going high or low on a hunch.
Number #1 rule: DON’T GET GREEDY!
I am signed up for 3 of his programs. His performance on all three is pitiful There are two things he does that are infuriating. First, there is absolutely no customer service. I have made numerous inquiries over the last two years and never heard a word from anyone at moneymappress.com. Secondly, he is deeply into self-aggrandizement. Today he put out two recommendations at 9:37 am. I had them placed by 9:40 am. He always advises not to pay more than ____. Then the options never go low enough to trigger for his readers. Then in a couple of days, he reports on these recommendations and they are doing famously. In other words, he made these recs so that he would look good not for his readers,
I just cancelled my subscription to Fast Fortune Club. When you sign up you open the flood gates to a barrage of spam emails seeking to upgrade your membership to more expensive levels. At the $39 level it takes a while to get an actionable trade set up. I subscribed to a couple of columnists and found that some of their recommendations were generic easy stuff – buy BABA, buy GOOG. My second thoughts started to kick in when I discovered that some of the columns were 2018 reruns. I also got an email from a guy who said he was an accountant there and was preparing $1500 checks to mail out to subscribers as kind of a profit sharing benefit. Then I read the part where the checks will be mailed starting December 28. One columnist recommended a trade in a stock that had a daily volume of 700 shares. I did receive actionable trades so there is the possibility of making money. You “pay” for it by having to wade through a never ending stream of emails touting huge percentage gains once you let go of your $2000-$3000. I wonder if it ever stops?
THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WAY FOR TOM TO SCAM YOU OUT OF YOUR MONEY AS HE DID TO ME. YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR MONEY
They dont do what they say they wil. They dont back up their guarantee. They ignore contacts from me. They dont answer questions. Basically, you pay them for advice, you get the advice and if you follow it to the lettr then you lose money. Their rating should be -0- with regard to performance and customer service.
Tom Gentile should be avoided at all costs. Straight up scammer.
He is a fraud! I am lucky I go my money back!
I have read through many of your comments and I see that the overwhelming concensus is that Tom’s reccomendations are poor and that they rarely produce the profits advertised in his literature. I beleive that the problem is that many new traders think trading is simple and that it can be done by someones reccomendations. I recently purchased The Fast Fortune Club and I am in the process of reviewing the material within. So far what I see is a very basic introduction to options trading, that can teach new traders an alternative to buying stocks.
I can tell that many of you have a basic understanding of the market and cleraly you have not been able to take advantage of the actionable information that is right in front of you. As I have read through many of the comments many of you say that Tom’s advice leads to mostly losses. If that is true then all of you who have had loses by following Tom’s advice didn’t have the common sense to simply do the opposite of what he advised. If you simply did that then you would have been profitable. The truth of the matter is that trading is hard, you have to know what you are doing, you can’t rely on someones picks. You must do your own research and develope your own patterns. I can tell you before I invest one nickle on a recommendation, I will study the suggestion and decide for myself if the trade has merit.
Furthermore, If you don’t have a lot of time to dedicate to the market don’t even try to trade on your own. None of these so called “experts” have a crystal ball, however you can learn bits and pieces from them and use those lessons to create your own trading patterns. Lastly, remember that all of these so called gurus make much more money from “teaching” than from trading why else would they spend all of the time and money to create all of the shiny videos and literature.
I wish all of you great success.
Tom Gentile is a clown! You will lose money following his recommendations
Tom Gentile is a self promotor. He claims he will make you millions… His true business is not trading but selling subscriptions to this third rate trading programs
Look him online…all the material you will find is from him directly. No reputable third party media outlet will give him the time of day!
JUST SAW THE PRESENTATION AND WONDERED WHY HE DID NOT DISCUSS THE CODE NUMBERS HE ENTERED TO PROVE HIS POINT.
THE IDEA OF A PROGRAM TO DETECT UP AND DOWN HISTORY SOUNDS REASONABLE BUT– HOW RELIABLE IS IT WHEN YOU CANNOT BUY BUT A FEW CONTRACTS UNDER $50.00 ?? SOUNDS LIKE HE NEEDS THE CASH FROM THE ENTRY FEE. JACK
Tom Gentile is a fraud! Do the opposite of his recommendations and you will make money.
He should be in jail for his scheme!

This clown Tom Gentile has had so many bad reviews…He had to put out the piece below justfying how good he is
CNBC or Bloomberg wouldn’t give this clown the time of day!
Stay away…He will lose you money!!!!

Total Fraud
Horrible Recommendations
Stay Away
THANK YOU TOM GENTILE!!!
IVE MADE A FORTUNE DOING THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS
IF YOU SAY BUY CALLS I’M BUYING PUTS
JUST LIKE YOU!!!!
DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON HIS HIS SUBSRIPTIONS. HE SHOULD BE IN JAIL
Totally agree!
There is no way anybody can get the prices on any of his option recommendations .
Impossible to get money back in spite of his guarantee..
What is wrong with the law in the,US?
I bought 2 subscriptions from Tom Gentile. His recommendations come out so late, that movements in the market allow only 75% of the trades to be placed and executed. I have often wondered if the people in his organization aren’t front running the trades. Some even come out after the market closes. Very few people at Money Map Press where Tom’s publications are sold can make you money consistently. Shah Guilanni is the worst. When I started with him he was saying LuLuLemon was going to tank. I bought 10 puts. I went up and has been going up ever since.
Tom Gentile’s Money Calendar is based upon a 10 year historical move a stock. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to pick stocks in a 1o year bull market, but Tom Gentile is making recommendations based upon this 10 year history. The bull is getting toppy and his recommendations have had a lot of losers. And his recommendations continue to lose money. Caveat Emptor!!!
NEVER SUBSCRIBE FOR TOM GENTILE RECOMMENDATIONS BECAUSE HE IS AN AMATEUR, SCAMMER AND A FAKE JERK WHO LIE AND TRY TO STEAL YOUR MONEY GIVING YOU GARBAGES. Look on the internet at u-tube where he disconnected all COMMENT because he’s a shame for the result.
I paid him and I received only bad recommendations and I lose money.
I joined the Tom Gentile services in October and he brags about an 85% win ratio. Since joining his service, I have lost over 90% on his trades. The only winners were so small they do not compare to the tremendous losses I have endured with him. STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUY He has an excellent marketing team but there is no substance.
I think it’s pretty clear from all the postings to this board that any “service” from Tom Gentile and his promises are phony and a scam, designed solely to get your money into his pocket. Virtually all option services that recommend buying options are losers, from what I’ve seen. The professionals make money by selling options. Anyone who at this point doesn’t do their due diligence and look up reviews on Tom Gentile, and come to this site and read these reviews, and then sends him money, pretty much deserves what they get. Everyone should check out exorbitant claims from these scammers before sending them their money and trying their trades.
Thanks to all the folks who posted on Tom Gentile.
Tom Gentile is a total loser!
Don’t waste hard earned money on his bogus proram
Supposedly Tom was a floor trader on AMEX exchange. Basically an order taker mathching buyers ans sellers
He has no clue!!!
I joined his fast fortune club and first five out of five Options were losers. I emailed and got no response so his advertised stats are false.
I agree with you Dan.
Fortunately, I didn’t have real money at the time, and just paper traded.
Not even worth the paper he writes on…..stay away from this Barnum & Baily Pathological lier!!
