Altucher Alliance Altucher Alliance: Some of the newsletters are given more care than others. I feel like new newsletters are launched too often which waters down the rest of them. Many trades have been successful but have been drowned out by big losses from put options that were exercised (gsky) which are now sitting in my account down 70%. Part of that is bad asset allocation on my part since the 100 shares that options trade in is usually a bigger number of shares than I would normally allocate if I was just buying a stock.

Subscribed to Shea Russels Rock Stock…SCAM Subscribed to Shea Russels Rock Stock insider. Was promised weekly updates. A month later i have had one report with recommendations. In the meantime I have had numerous solicitations from Fat tail media attempting to upsell other products. Feels like a bait marketing scam to me

Stay away from Agora Financial Stay away from Agora Financial, James Altucher, Alan Knuckman, et al. The "advice" they sell does not produce a net gain in the value of your portfolio. Some recommendations work out profitably, but the ones that do not will cause you to lose far more money than the profitable trades. I began the above-mentioned Agora services in May of 2018. By December, I had made $8500 through their recommendations, but I was $25,000 underwater in sold puts that expired short of the strike price. Many purchased call options have expired worthless. I knew going in that option trading was risky. This has been a costly experience that will take years to fully recover from.

Impressive I'm impressed with the fact that for the most part, James doesn't force a position for the sake of `coming up' with something. He seems to know when to take your gains off the table even if they run higher afterward. The research story behind the suggested positions is very informative and I'm glad the homework is so thorough. And last but not least, it's very interesting if not disarming to hear James real-life trials and tribulations that he's willing to share and ... bare.

It’s probably not a scam. It’s probably not a scam; but it is a waste of money. Richards has discovered the art of selling books by continually talking about future disasters that only he can forwarn. When you subscribe to his letter you will be bombarded with one offer after another to subscribe to more expensive letters with little or no track record. Altucher is more of the same. I strongly advise staying away from Agora. The last time I contacted their “customer service”; the response back was we don’t monitor customer service. Pathetic!
