Anyone a member? What are your thoughts of their stock recommendations? $99 per year for their basic plan services, that gives 10 or so picks and access to special reports.

I'm a member. Haven't bought any of their recommended stocks quite yet. Most of them are $100+ a stock which is a little annoying. Sometimes I feel that they think everyone that buys their stuff are millionaires. But, the stocks they have recommended have done pretty well, so maybe the 3 or 4 shares (generally less than 20) I could afford of any particular stocks have been the move.

That being said, I do like the research I can find on certain stocks and the general info them as well


The annoying part is the email bombs they give me trying to sell anything and everything under the sun. I recommend setting up a burner email to link this to because they send out things literally multiple times a day and 90% of it all costs extra money.

Who do you use to buy stocks? Do they not allow you to buy partial shares? If a stock costs $1,000/share I can purchase $5 worth of that stock if I want to with fidelity.

I am part of Stock Advisor and Next Gen Super Cycle. In short, I can not recommend them enough. Last year in my trading account, purchasing almost everything they recommended, I achieved a return of 108 percent.

I use them because they have an excellent track record. They are also insisting that you hold for at least 3-5 years. I didn’t want a pump and dump service. They also have a much better understanding of technology than I do. I know oil and gas. They know technology. Had I poured my money last year into the stocks they recommended, instead O&G stocks, I would have made far more money than I did.

Stock Advisor is what I’d recommend. I’ve also been pleased with Next Gen, but if money is tight, start with SA.

I have three stocks that have doubled since their recommendations. Some were quite expensive, but buy what you can afford. TTD ran me $394 a share, but hit $900 plus a few months later.

I use Merrill Edge. They do not allow partial share purchases.

I have it. The fool has a huge influence on the stocks they recommend. Thousands of people buy their recommendations so they immediately shoot up when they come out and do well for a month or longer. I’ve taken their recommendations a few times and made a lot of money.

I’ll look into this today based on yall’s reviews. I have limited knowledge about this stuff so having access to experts who know what they’re doing and have a reputation to uphold does sound pretty valuable.

I see what the OP is talking about but I see $199 - $99.

Glad others have had good experience

Some think it can be shady so I’ve stayed away: (reddit warning link, but with an explanation)

That guy was waiting for the emails and pissed that the stock had been going up for 45 minute prior. The emails apparently go out 45 minutes after TMF posts the tips to their site account. Lots of people there are saying TMF is good.

It's all about riding the momentum. I got FVRR from them several months back and have made over 3000 off it. Still am. That's just one stock. The yearly service fee is absolutely nothing. I am going to check out CML.

I have been a member of Rule Breakers for a few years - it has been a huge money maker for me.

I use TD Ameritrade. I honestly haven't looked into partial shares so I am not sure

I got NVAX @16 on their recommendation. A couple of days later it shot up to over $50 where I took my profit and ran. It later hit in the $120s.

^This. If you are trading stocks, you can make good money simply by buying their recommendations and flipping them shortly thereafter. You do need to keep a constant eye on their site though so you can get in on their recommendations before the price shoots up.

I may start doing this. Going to do some more research first.

They put me on LXRX a few weeks or so ago. Bought in at around 3.37/share. Took off great yesterday and I sold at 8.22 per. I freely admit I’m a total noob at this stuff but I lucked out and followed their advice on that one and it paid off.

That's awesome! I bought PLNHF off of their recommendation back in May when it was $1.22. It's up around $6 these days. Of course, there are plenty of weed stocks out there that have done well, but this one has has shown steady growth while many of the others have been very sporadic.

Just going to say I’ve been a member for years and have learned a lot from them. I’m not a fan of all the emails, but it’s been definitely worth the money for me.

Also, it’s one of the sites that you can visit and after a few days receive an email (or get an ad) for 2 years for $99. Instead of auto renew I let it cancel and have always been able to get back in at half the price.

Very nice! I found their breakdowns of the companies, what’s going on, what they expect, very helpful for a noob like me. Kinda broke down a novel into a coloring book so I could understand lol.

As of now, my doubles off of their recommendations are TTD, FVRR and CRWD. I’ve got several others that are close.
