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.

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.

Avoid Agora Financial They promote highly misleading "info products", newsletter services etc - the current scam is a load of deceptive guff about Brexit severance cheques which can be "claimed" by UK citizens. If you subscribe (for a fee of £37 followed by further amounts of around £100 per year) they will tell you the "secret" of how to claim these. There is no "secret" - it's just a reference to the share dividends paid by listed companies and anyone can get these by buying dividend paying shares. Same company owns Moneyweek magazine and also use a number of other names including Southbank Research, Capital and Conflict, Betting Rant, The Daily Reckoning, The End of Britain etc. (Agora Financial UK Ltd.

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!

I signed up for one year I signed up for one year, $49.00 filled out Bank Card and I was in, the next day I was sent an e-mail saying the bank rejected the payment and I needed to fix the problem, I knew there was enough money to cover the $49, looking at there email I saw they had put an extra $100 on the claim and as I only had enough to cover the $49 it bounced. I felt this was a deliberate attempt to force me into a 2-year contract with them I decided to check if there are any reviews, thanks to everyone I will deal with Agora tomorrow. Am I lucky or what?
