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.

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.

The might sounds of the Jungle I've been in Gorilla Trades for almost two years now and was disappointed in the beginning, since the Market fell and Gorilla Trades also took some hits, but since the Market has headed back north, Ken has been doing an admirable job with his Gorilla picks, with nearly every pick that I've bought showing gains. It's just a matter of staying the course and riding out the storms. David Lubin

After 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.

No false promises! I've told many people about The Gorilla service. Instead of promising unattainable pie in the sky, the service sets realistic goals backed by sensible reasoning. For those who do not want a "set it and forget it" strategy and don't have the time or knowledge to do their own research, the service is perfect. They arm investors with actionable information and then they can pick and choose to be part of their investing process. I am very pleased with the service.
