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.

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.

GBI have used their newsletter but after… I have used their newsletter but after paying $499 for 2 years its been not worthy of it. I did make some money initially but after a while you mind as well be trading on your own. The stuff you need is not there but for someone who needs something to read I guess if you have $499 then spend it. I prefer more hands on approach to trading.

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.

GBBasically very pleased.... Basically very pleased.... I wold like to see that when one of your stock remommendations reaches a sale objective but shows potential for additional upside strength based on technical as well as the fundamentals of the stock, then why don't you suggest to us to sell a portion and reestablish (up) the stop to protect some of the gain still remaining in the remaining shares of the stock.I just deplore after the fact of having ileft a substantial amount of profit on the table in a stock with strong momenum. I personally do this on my own but I would like some assurance from the Gorilla that the stock indeed has plotential for continued strength....Thank you, Joe Palmer, retired 3 years ago after a successful 45 year career as a financial advisor in Scottsdale, AZ.
