GBI never solicited their information I never solicited their information. They try to scare people in order to sell like most insurance people does.

GBMy preference for Gorilla Trades I recommend and remain with Gorilla Trades as a profitable stock-trading system that is easy to learn and follow. Compared to other methods I have tried (Investools, Jim Cramer, Investors.com) Gorilla Trades takes the least homework and is the purest technical play, which fits my belief of going where the money is. It tends to catch stock prices before they make a big move out of the bottom of a base, rather than at a later base-breakout or a bounce off a rising moving-average. The biggest challenge is to select stop losses (based on high RTR) in anticipation of a market correction, or to endure the impressive portfolio drawdowns during a correction.

CAAfter a short learning curve and lots… After a short learning curve and lots of practice, how Gorilla trades could best fit my own trading style became clear. Now that clarity has resulted in many successful trades and very few losing trades. The successful trades' gains far exceed the losing trades' losses.

GBUnderperforms S&P Index Strategy I subscribed for the past year. During this time the service materially underperformed a basic S&P Index strategy. The daily emails and trade alerts are helpful clear. It is relatively easy to follow and implement the trades. The reason it underperforms seems to be focused around reward to risk ratios. The 1st target where they recommend selling 75% usually has reward to risk that is < 1.0 while the 2nd target is < 2.0. The targets can move before being hit, but the math behind this money management suggests that a high win ratio is needed to make the numbers work. When the market drops stops do protect which is good. But it is hard to make up the losses when the targets are so tight. Additionally, after stock prices drop causing stops to be hit, the new buy signals do not happen fast enough to allow an investor to get back in to capture the next round of profits. No question they have some winners, but the overall performance is not as strong as a set it and forget it index strategy.

GBA good resource A good resource. I admit I don't use the service to its full potential and am still learning how to read charts. I feel more confident in buying a particular stock if my opinion matches the Gorilla but always defer to him as the professional. His opinion always outranks mine. I don't buy all recommended stocks (lack of money) and with the ones I've bought I've lost money more often then I've turned a profit. I question the accuracy of the 'profitability' claims made but don't follow the trades closely enough to make a definitive decision in this area.
