The last stock you recommended to me… The last stock you recommended to me lost money. So I still follow you but double and triple check before I buy a stock you recommend. I will give you credit for EXAS because I didn't know which company owned Colongard but it helped save my friend's life.

A 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.

Satisfied with the Gorilla Stock analysis is great, but spread option suggestions not so much. Appreciate the emphasis of risk considerations, setting exit plans for investments, and the overall approach Gorilla Trades takes with stocks. With suggested option trades out up to 2 months in the future I'd like to see follow up offered on them prior to expiration along with suggestions for exit if price moves in the opposite direction.

Kudos to the Gorilla I have been a subscriber at Gorilla Trades for many, many years and what I specifically like is the adherence to a set of technical trading rules, which are followed to the letter. If one follows Mr. Burman's rules you will have far more winning trades than losing ones. The guidelines are clear and if ever I divert from the rules---very occasionally--I generally make an error. Great system, no b/s and well worth the subscription. Brian Edney

Underperforms 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.
