GBA bit of a different perspective vs the… A bit of a different perspective vs the other posts here. Like any company in business. Stansberry Research is doing this to make money, that does not mean it is "scam". It means they are a business, and any business is in business to make money by selling stuff. There is useful content, but as a reader you need to be able to sift through the sales pitches and recognize what is real advice and what is garbage. Have been a subscriber for 5+ years. It was better content and less fluff when Porter was there prior to the sale of the company. Just like buying a car, the reader, purchaser of the content needs to be sophisticated enough to know where there are nuggets of knowledge and what is a sales pitch (sometimes in the form or fear). If you want "free" advice, turn on Cramer from Mad Money, and you can do the same thing that most novice unexperienced stock market investors do. If you are not smart enough to read the content with an ability to think, invest for yourself. You probably should not be investing in the stock market.

GBThe founder, Porter Stansberry, was convicted of securities fraud The founder, Porter Stansberry, was convicted of securities fraud. Just Google “Porter Stansberry fraud”. The service now promotes any number of advisory services for a fee. Now they are simply an umbrella website that draws internet traffic to a single site and then sells subscriptions for a variety of people who use them for publishing purposes. Any service that would be associated with this scammer’s name has to be of questionable integrity.

GBA $210 charge for annual maintenance on… A $210 charge for annual maintenance on a subscription I didn't know I had. I called to inquire, they stated an email reminder was sent 30 days previous but I searched inbox, archive, junk, spam, deleted, etc. No such email. Not willing to refund. I've spent many thousands of dollars with Stansberry and this is how they treat customers. AVOID !!!

GBInundated with unsolicited emails… I paid for a one-year subscription after watching the video and things seemed ok at first. Then I was inundated with email solicitations to the point I could barely find my legitimate emails unrelated to Stansbury’s mailing list partners. I grew so tired of having to unsubscribe multiple times per day that I canceled my subscription with Stansbury, but unfortunately the unsolicited emails from their partners continue to inundate my inbox. I requested in writing more than three months ago that all email communications from Stansbury and their partners cease but to no avail. Beware that your email address will be sold to their partners and you will receive hundreds of unsolicited emails. You have been warned.

GBI agree with other reviewers I have… I agree with other reviewers I have read previously, very aggressive advertising. They advertise themself as giving the investors the same information they would want themselves. My experience being with them a few years now, not true. They look for themselves first. I believe the worst they do for investors is that they exaggerate every economic situation, scare the investors using letters and presentations, old data, graphs etc to convince the investors and sell their products. Although I don’t know if what they do is illegal, I believe it is definitely morally wrong and very selfish. If I knew when I signed up what I know now, of course I would not have.
