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!

Beware Scammers Beware - Total scammers. Also impossible to contact - ignore emails. "Unsubscribe" link in their emails doesn't work. Not sure how this could get worse - PLEASE do not invest with cowboys

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.

Desperate company that will tell you … Desperate company that will tell you anything to get you to sign up to one of their schemes that don't work 9 times out of 10 or you can only get in America. Jim Rickards who I had a lot of respect for initially is now being used as a fool to again publish schemes that do not work.
