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.

This company is pretty much a scam This company is pretty much a scam. Lured me into a lifetime membership with one of their trading services. I found out immediately that their trading strategy was simply not for me. Talked to one of their representatives but was not able to switch to some other service that they had. I am feeling like I've thrown away $2000 in water... Not helpful at all.

Agora et al are all scams Agora is the main company that owns and distributes via a large network of scam newsletters. They are all a scam, period. Use common sense and read these reviews. Their services prey on individual investors through bogus analysts and traders. Fake people with no verifiable backgrounds. Offices that are all postal boxes primarily in Florida. They make millions banking on our stupidity. Avoid at all costs. Don't find out the hard way. Simply avoid their web.

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.

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.
