Crackpot

This guy is a fear monger and a crackpot. He's been preaching the same old crap for 10 years. When something finally does happen he quickly says "see I told you so". Hell anyone can do that. As far as I'm concerned anyone who listens to this crackpot needs to have their head examined.

disaster!

I was convinced to try their service by a friend of mine and boy was it a mistake. All of their picks were terrible and when i tried to cancel my membership the customer service representative was rude and pushy. Stay away!

Love him or hate him, hes usually right GM, Fannie&Freddie

I read the Stansberry bashing and I can't help but feel sorry for those reviewers, theres no such thing as 100% accurate option or stock trade anywhere in the investment world. Porter and all the Agora publications are designed for well capitalized investors who can participate in many different types of investments overall anyone who has followed common sense allocation rules should be up huge from Stansberry picks, Jeff Clark is brilliant, Steve Sjuggerud, Badiali all those guys are beasts when it comes to breaking down companies and finding gems, and separating out the garbage, I disagree with Porter's beliefs in many things, but I could care less about his opinions on gov't or Obama, as long as he keeps making good calls and my portfolio keeps growing. The amount of research I get delivered to my Inbox is priceless I could never find the time to put together such varied analysis on so many companies, thats why they are so successful, because anyone with half a brain knows how valuable their product is. Its just my opinion, if you had a losing option trade and abandoned a system because of that then you are destined to lose money in the markets until the day you die. As far as Im concerned theres only two companies I would pay for investment research from, AGORA Publishing and MOTLEY FOOL

Horrible - Stay Away

what a huge mistake! i got sucked into one of their marketing campaigns... i took advice on an option trade which not only went the other direction, but completely tanked... all of the advise was bad. none of their picks i looked at were accurate.

marketing is scare tactics. they probably spend more money on marketing than research... that's the problem with a lot of these "advisors." -- the money is spent on copy writers and marketing... NOT research.

crap.

Investment schemes targeting the politically conservative

I have looked at Stansberry's website and marketing pieces off and on during the past year or so. I recently watched his latest piece: The End of America. See for yourself: http://www.stansberryresearch.com/pro/1011PSIENDVD/OPSIM106/PR

Sounds like one of the things Stansberry offers is some version of a "Silver Accumulation Program" -- you buy silver on borrowed money, hoping to cash in when the price of silver goes up. This was a popular scheme during the 1980s, when political and economic conditions were similar to those of today.

Don't be taken in by his artful copy writing that plays on both fear of loss and the desire for "insider information." Search the internet and find out what others have learned about the investment programs Stansberry is offering.

Stansberry Research

Subscription based stock researching - not something I ever like to see, unless I'm gonna short it. The internet has leveled the playing field. If you really want to know what Stansberry is pumping, just subscribe to stockgumshoe.com's email list. Good ole' Travis over there busts their picks open for free all the time.

Their headlines are catchier than this, but that's about it

I subscribed to three different paid subscriptions from Porter Stansberry Investment Advisors, and the most I can say is thank god for their free trial periods (which they did credit back to me, although it wasn't "no questions asked" as promised). I want an investment advisor that can talk candidly to me, not one that I have to click through a link to watch a video that vaguely talks about a technique that can earn me thousands. Many ideas touted in his newsletters require a large bankroll to actually make them work. Upon more due diligence, I found that many of their recommendations are cycled through every year to make them look new and exciting. I recommend research on Stock Gumshoe or Tim Syke's site to find out third-party information about their newsletters. If the performance can speak for itself, there is no need for marketing teasers imho.
