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.

They obviously don't care about these… They obviously don't care about these reviews. They are ignoring all my correspondence. I have tried to cancel auto renewal on my subscription as I got stung last time and they refuse to refund but there is no response. If they don't come back to me I will report them.

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.

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!
