GBA Sarisfied Customer I have been a subscriber to Gorilla Trades for many years, and I am well satisfied with the service. I would recommend them without reservation.

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.

GBI give the full 5 stars because of the… I give the full 5 stars because of the risk management/ sell recommendation activity here. I own a bunch of stocks recommended thru Motley Fool that Ive seen go up 100%- 300% then fall right back down. The Fools also recomended stocks that went directly down (SAM, etc) with no sugestions to sell (stop) out. I can see that Gorillas Trades would have had me pull profits and/ or closed out before all that. Im gonna wiggle out of my way too many stocks that I now own and continue to angle into the Gorilla picks. Sure they do research and math that anyone can do. Anyone could also mow their own lawn and clean their own pool.

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.

GBSatisfied 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.
