Louis Navellier's Emerging Growth

Too expensive service for service which underperforming

This service is promising that it is beating market 8:1. But the results highly underperforming these promise.As always Navellier is always buying stocks and he is not looking if the market is bullish or bearish

Over-priced and underperforming

Over-priced and underperforming, I subscribed for this service in 2008 but got my subscription money back after the underperformance. Louis is good at finding emerging stocks, but terrible when it comes to helping you manage profits. Always bullish, likely won't pay for itself.

Ain't Good

This newsletter is very risky in bad markets, regardless of which stocks you pick. The price of the newsletter is really unjustified in my opinion. It seems that Louis is really just picking from his Portfolio Grader software which is free and not all that impressive. I actually think the Zacks rank which is also free is probably as good. Louis is kind of similar to Cramer with the message of “Buy, Buy, Buy” and never sell until you lost your a$$. I'd like services that are constantly updating me that I may consider taking profits due to some kind of weakness. This is a very "hands off" newsletter like the Motley Fool newsletters, except at an inflated price.

I won’t follow him anywhere again

This guy is a big scale charlatan. He has no shame to announce that a stock will double, let’s say by Friday, like it was the case for GTE last year. Well, he spelled dis-as-ter for this gullible subscriber. I won’t follow him anywhere again. I don’t even want to hear his name.

I’ve made a lot of money investing on Louis’s picks

I’ve followed Navallier since the very early 1980s, when he published MPT Review. I liked that format better because he actually gave you a summary of 100s of stocks and saved you a lot of time on research. Honestly, I’ve made a lot of money investing on Louis’s picks. The best one ever was Key Energy Group back in ‘99, picked it up for under $3 and got out in less than 9 months at over $13. There have been many others. But I had it with him last Fall when he kept telling everyone to hold...

Louis is good at finding these emerging stocks

I subscribed to this service for 6 months in early 2007. Seems Louis is good at finding these emerging stocks, but 95% of the time will hold them too long and watch his paper profits drift away. His message is always “Buy, Buy, Buy”. He never tells you to sell - until the stocks are dropping off the chart.

To use any of his services you must be willing to pick your own exit points.

I still subscribe to his Blue Chip service. Just tune out his constant “Rah-Rah”, and use your common sense on...

Maybe I just caught him at the market peak.

In Oct. 2007 his picks were almost universally wrong. Maybe I just caught him at the market peak. SYNA, VDSI, VIVO, etc., they are small caps and when the market turns south you get slaughtered.

I do okay with this one

I have subscribed to emerging growth for a couple of years now. This newsletter is on the pricey side, about 1k per year. Unless the market drops as it has done and like most newsletter writers, they drop their price substantially, I assume to raise capital to invest new money in the down market. Anyway, I do okay with this one, not great, but I only invest money in the top 10 stocks. This is another newsletter that has you invest in 50+ stocks. It takes a substantial amount of money to spread..
