WSD Insider

Good for investors

This subscription is good for long term investors. It's a newsletter operated by Louis Basenese who has been featured on CNBC, WSJ, MarketWatch, TheStreet, and other well known media outlets. It's affordable at $99/year as of 2/2014. They provide you with a newsletter about once a month and also send you a couple email updates throughout the month. The only annoying thing is that they also send you a lot of email marketing stuff about other products they sell.

The Constitutional Wealth is another publication they sell for an annual subscription of $99/year. It's more focused on policy trends and how companies can benefit from them. They also have more premium trading services like:

MaxROI ($5000/yr)

The Dividends Accelerator ($1495/yr discounted)

Microcap Tech Trader ($4500/yr)

Instant Money Trader ($3000/yr)

Oil & Energy Confidential ($2250/yr)

The Presidents Club - private club, not seeking active memberships now.

Smart Cap Alert ($5000/yr)

Regarding the performance of the WSDInsider, it has been good. Their portfolio is composed of 3 parts: The general WSD trading portfolio, tech disruptors, and innovators. The last 2 are a little more riskier plays while the general portfolio is more conservative and balanced. The performance of the portfolio as of 2/2014 is as such:

WSD portfolio 15 stocks = 11 winners and 4 underwater. Most winners are about 8-20% in profit Those underwater are down about 10-20%. There is also one certificate of deposit (CD) by Everbank.

Disruptors portfolio (high risk plays where they risk only $1000 on each play) 4 stocks = 1 stock flat and 3 stocks underwater >20%. This portfolio seems to be struggling.

Innovators portfolio ( moderate risk play with smaller caps) 7 stocks = 7 winners and 0 stocks underwater. There are impressive returns in this portfolio. The majority of stocks are >10% in profit with 3 stocks > 50% in returns.

If you see a lot of their marketing on the Internet touting big monthly returns. They mainly are trying to push the latest techniques to sell puts or use dividend stocks in the long run to generate monthly income. If you like generating income via options, I would also recommend the Income Trader at Profitabletrading.com by Amber Hestla. She has a very impressive record.

Overall, the WSDInsider is a good service for long term investors and I would recommend them to others. They just need to improve the disruptors portfolio and lighten up on the aggressive marketing. 4 to 4.5 stars.

So Far a Winner

It's only been a little over a week ... approximately 8 trading days. I got snagged in with their marketing literature which seemed to me misleading, and for the most part it was, but ultimately I do not regret this purchase as of now. It took me some time and reading and realized that for the annual fee I got a lot of good information.

The free newsletter is frequent, I get one everyday, but the paid one I have noticed is far and few in between. Maybe two a week? That would be my second gripe here.

Here's the deal though, despite feeling mislead with inflated marketing video literature and clever wording, the stocks they advised in their paid newsletter so far have all been working for me. That would be 5 stocks with two of them often correcting but never dipping so far. All in all, I approve of this newsletter but wouldn't really sign up for the free newsletter as it still comes to you even after you are paid into the premium service.

They have a lot of up-sells in the membership site, some range in the thousands. Not really into spending that much, so I just take some buy in and sell tips on their stock picks at the moment.
