Buy Sell Short

Wish I would have subscribed sooner.

I saw BuySellShort present at the Sykes conference back in November, His trading views were very similar to mine, although he has about 8 years of experience on me, so I decided to try it out. The 2 week trial paid for the service for the year in about 4 days, and his picks so far have given me my best trading month in the history of my trading, which is saying something. I realize January is usually easy to trade, but there could be something special here.

He takes very low risk positions, that (so far) have been very rewarding. Will be interesting to see how he trades when the market gets a little harder. This is definitely a service worth checking out.

Would like to see him come out with an instructional video series that explains how he scans for things. It would be a good addition.

Great picks, great record

Buy Sell Short picks run 90% or more since I've been following. Gains of 10, 20, and 30% are not uncommon, and I've had a few that have gone higher. Very few picks have had losses.

Great research behind picks, and frequent plays for day traders as well as short and longer term traders. You'd be doing yourself a disservice not to pay attention to this newsletter.

I did a free trial... I wasn't impressed... I made some - lost some... the stocks are all low volume and whippy... so very risky trades...

I would only recommend this guy to an experienced trader...

The best service I have come across for accuracy & returns.

Just read a review slamming BuySellShort stating that the service does not provide targets or stops. That is simply not true. The reviewer went on to say that there does not seem to be any system. In fact BuySellShort uses several 'systems'. Primarily he plays in hot sectors and looks for laggards that are ready to pop based on his prior experience.

I've stopped out of a couple trades in the last few weeks, but every other trade has either been a win.

Best value out there, serious winning trades, a great way to learn to trade smaller stocks.

Top notch.

Horrid calls, inconsistent rules..no trading strategy

There is ZERO strategy to this fellows trading. Zip, zilch, NADA. No trading plans, strategies, techniques.. just pure gut instincts, guesses, and gambling.

Having been a member for over 6 months now, I waited to give a review- I gave this guy "Magician" a chance, I truly did... I almost wrote a negative review 2 months ago but decided to give him a chance because of the bad market.

I am glad I waited, because now I have an even worse opinion.

Anyone following this man would not only not make a single profit, but could potentially blow their accounts out without any effort.

Why?

BuySellShort.net sends videos out... not consistently, but every few days unlike other services. The videos are vague, no real prices like Buy/Sell/Stop's ... just this guy rambling on and on with no real direction or explanation of his strategy.

The "Alerts" are sent non-transparent without his position sizes or entry prices, but they are titled "XYX Buy Consideration $.43 and under" ...WTF? No stop limits or anything! In 6 months I think I have had a position close email sent maybe 2 or 3 times, and thats it- you don't hear anything about it later... even if it drops 50%!!! The newsletter is called "Buy Sell Short" but this guy only buys garbage .50 stocks and never shorts- I have yet to get a short alert.

Examples of some recent horrible calls:

8/13/10: SNSS Alert @ $.43 (Currently $0.41) - No sell or stop recommendatio, -4.6% Loss

8/4/10: GNVC Alert @ $.52 (Currently $0.46) - No sell or stop recommendation, -11.5% Loss

8/3/10: EPCT Alert @ $1.06 (Currently $0.59) - No sell or stop recommendation, -44.3% Loss

7/29/10: COIN Alert @ $0.64 (Currently $0.427) - No sell or stop recommendation, -33.2% Loss

7/29/10: IMOS Alert @ $1.32 (Currently $1.08) - No sell or stop recommendation, -18.18% Loss

7/28/10: FCEL Alert @ $1.31 (Currently $1.08) - No sell or stop recommendation, -17.55% Loss

7/26/10: ACAD Alert @ $1.10 (Currently $1.06) - Sell alert was given at $1.30ish or so for an almost 18% gain

These were the trades that stood out the most, as you can see, most of the alerts that don't work have ZERO follow through- sometimes you will get a random email that says "BOOOM LOCK UP PROFITS FROM ABC STOCK" and you are thinking, wow, I never even got the alert to buy that stock- but apparently it was in his watchlist the night before-- how convenient, he alerts on the losers and never tells you when to sell, yet he has no problem bragging about stocks that SOMETIMES hit on his watchlist

Overall, I have calculated a 20% win rate for Buy Sell Short which obviously is a system that is prone to failure.

Save yourself money and frustration, trust a person who stopped using BuySellShort.net's recommendations and saved myself a TON of money... now I just subscribe just to laugh at some of the random stock alerts just to get a kick out of how bad a premium service can be.

technical trader/ microcap stocks

he is pretty good. he knows how to do t.a. he primarlry focuses on stocks under .50 which can get u in trouble. but he often draws support/resistance lines so he does use risk managment with the stock. the best part of him though is that he uses every main message board around. you can see him on the lion on twitter posting his picks so these thin picks will get volume as he is pretty well known.

Big calls

Big calls made some serious money. Smart and experienced traders. Sort of predicted the turn in the markets and esp. the recent gains in the SMH. Great market insights, have a nice clear video they send out daily as well as updates and buy recommendation sent throughout the day. Sometimes there is a lull, but they will always alert you as to their thinking regardless. Lately, they seemed to really like small biotech companies and those plays have done well.

Good, not great

having been a member of several different sub sites over the past year, i have found this one to be better than most.

The concentrate mainly on technical analysis on small to mid cap stocks (and penny stocks). Short and long positions gives me more angles to play than most other sites, and they shout out scalps too which is good.

mods have good knowledge and provide decent guidance on entry/exit points.

success rate from what i can tell is not great, say around 60-70%, but thats just a guess.

Decent picks.

I have tried out their free trial before, There were some profitable picks but not all were profitable I did lose money on a few. This could have been played smarter on my part by taking my loss quicker but the picks i lost on did not have more then 5% green at any point and got stopped out at 10% both times. The green picks made me 15% and 10% so it turned out even. They are smart traders and in this market it is hard to be green on every play. I have found Prophet Alerts to be much more profitable then these guys.
