Poor trade calls I understand from reading online that St Paul Reserch is under the umbrella of Agora Financial, hence this review. St. Paul Research is exceptionally bad with what they recommend for trades. I highly recommend you don't waste your money on their services.

Life time member I have been a life time member to Agora for over 20 years, so before they had all of these other companies. I was told I would get all the newsletter they publish in future. Today they and their subsidiaries produce probably hundreds, I do get several, but they come and go, a lot are only marketing. I recently called to ask how they decide which letters I am entitled to, they were unable to answer the question. Most of he advice was not profitable. There are others out there trying to copy what Agora and Boner have done, so beware. I suggest that you should not sign up to any of the expensive letters and do not sign up for a life membership, as you do not know how long it will last, they are a rip off.

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.

Don’t even think about it! I think this is one of the times I had a pretty clear understanding of an investment product where I could separate the performance from all the noise. I got stuck with agora after purchasing the altucher report for a 2500. Once I bought that for its crypto hype, it has been impossible to shake these guys for 3 years now. I think I’ve turned 100k into 896 following their advice. Basically their selling subscriptions with no real advice behind it, the subscription is the product.
