Wish I had found this website earlier Wish I had found this website earlier. I fell for the sales pitch and bought a subscription to Dark Money Millionaires. Every single trade suggestion except one was a big loser. Less than 2 months later the service was cancelled, they offered to switch to another advisory letter using the same losing analyst(!) and refused to refund my subscription.

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.

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!

James Altucher AlphaBrain James Altucher has provided a wealth of financial information and taught me a lot about using leverage and options. But with his service you don’t need to be constantly reading up on the latest goings on in the financial markets, you can just use his buy and sell signals to generate impressive profits. For example his latest AlphaBrain service has produced profits of 20% to 30% each week for several weeks in a row. Excellent stuff! Keep it up!

I subscribed to Bubble Finance and lost a ton $$ I subscribed to the newsletter, which was a bit pricey. My recommendation - Don't use this advice! I invested in 7 or 8 options over a period of time in 2017 per Stockman Bubble Finance Letter advice, which seemed well developed and rational. Every one of the puts turned into losses, over $18,000 cumulative lost in 1 year (including the recent TSLA, XPO and SPY puts expiring 1/18/18). Unless you can afford to lose your portfolio, you will be better off in a passive index!! PS. I cancelled my subscription!
