Review of Rule Breakers’ “3 Kings of Cloud Computing”
by xxxxxxxx in Service Ripoffs
I was subscriber to the Motley Fool Rule Breakers just because it was run by David Gardner who is a much better stock picker than most of the other Fools including, his brother Tom. I was fortunate enough to have had some of his excellent picks in, CTRP, EDU GOOG, AKAM but I was fortunate enough to have sold them just in time.
For around $ 299/a year, this Subscription of Motley Fool Rule Breakers newsletter does not manage your stocks for you, well or in a judicious approach, you can easily lose all your investment you will need to have something more than the advice of these news letter hawkers, you could quite possibly lose everything very quickly you have to have some good TA to balance these picks but it’s not easy because you have to really know the company well.
For a quick assessment, of their original “3 Kings of Cloud Computing” from the Rule Breakers team pitch where,
1. Google (GOOG),
2. Akamai (AKAM) and
3. VMWare (VMW),
By all means these are still being teased by the Fools— while Akamai is the company that makes the internet fly and VMWare is the other one with the stronghold on a niche market that’s absolutely vital to the future of Cloud Computing.
The business scenario for these companies has not changed much in the two+ years since they have been touting with aggressive ad campaigns.
Google’s stock is a bit more stable than the other two, the prices of all three have moved in tandem with each other through the market crash and recovery as well.
Google and VMWare do stand at levels similarly to where they were in August of 2008 when their ads had started making rounds, though Akamai has done significantly better.

Nastiest thing about S&A Short Report is….
by xxxxxxxx in Service Ripoffs
S&A Short Report time and again made a loss for me! S&A Short Report is hyped beyond reason and only the winning trades are revealed, in their teasers while their loosing recommendations are hidden strategically I bought into these morons based on hype they built around, Jeff Clark their editor of this
On my subscription activation last year, I was shocked to look back at their track records and found that there was a LOT more losing trades than winning ones!
ALL the recommendations, email updates, and every update on their buy/sell prices, In the end, the results showed that after a year, the account just broke even, However, after trying out on a few of their recommendations.
I found it IMPOSSIBLE to enter at their defined price!
Another annoying thing I come across with these people is their REFUND policy
Yes, they DO refund, BUT, not before they make you jump through studs and pass you from one support staff to another and they DO NOT practice the ‘no question asked’ policy.
And not before asking hell lots annoying questions that I was made to answer again and again.

Lee Lowell’s Instant Money Trader is this a SCAM
by xxxxxxxx in Service Ripoffs
I have just come across Lee Lowell’s Instant Money Trader that claims by putting in a PIN code into your trading account you will instantly receive money.
Sounds really interesting but I am leery nonetheless I’m thinking about trying the system but I wanted to know if anyone has tried it.
Also, where do I enter the PIN codes they send in my account are they any good?
They need a brokerage account to start with, a sufficiently funded one though!
Please give me feedback only if you have tried this system or know of it personally. I really appreciate it.
Do I need to install any software package installed on my computer?

The 12% Letter’s ‘Wal-tirement’ just another hype from Dan Ferris
by xxxxxxxx in Service Ripoffs
‘Wal-tirement’ a new teaser making the rounds through the mailboxes of millions these days emerges from none other than Stansberry Research’s The 12% Letter, ‘Wal-tirement’ is nothing more than a term coined by the editors of The 12% Letter Dan Ferris.
Satirical though these are the same people proclaiming long term growth of Wal-mart, Microsoft (MSFT), and their own stock ideas while at the same time predict ‘End of America’
Yet another tease for DRIP investing — Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRIPs), predictably ‘Old Wine in a New Bottle’ a long long time after their very popular 801 K plans tease, where a company sells stock to directly to investors, and allow you to reinvest your dividends into new stock directly as well.

Why DailyWealth Premium is not so valuable.
by xxxxxxxx in Service Ripoffs
After several years of subscribing to what they call, Daily Wealth Premium I feel that Sjuggerud is a bit inexperienced, does not have sufficient market skills under his fold, and the proper past perspective for his judgment calls. As an example, he likes to say the phrase “XXXXXX is as cheap as it’s ever been” a lot, whereas “been” in the case of stocks is merely 20 years and assumes a typical post-WWII recovery (i.e. further P/E expansion from an already overvalued level).
Or he’ll pooh-pooh the inconsistency between comparing trailing P/E and forward P/E which is a very mainstream and erroneous fad.
He recently admitted that the trend is more important than valuation, but he has tended to be a bit too early on his calls. His relatively recent and future calls may be more finely-tuned now that he relies on systematic models from his True Wealth Systems service which appears to be mostly optimized with moving averages with fundamental factors.
That said “DailyWealth Premium is not even an advisory., It’s ads only. They advertise how well they’ve done in the past.
Don’t go there to find any new buying opportunities. I read it primarily for educational purposes, to keep up with trends, etc.

Stansberry’s Investment Advisory (”End of America” Video or some such).
by Oxley in Product Ripoffs, Service Ripoffs
Stansberry’s Investment Advisory (”End of America” VIDEO or some such). It’s a fairly simple algorithm: those who pump scare stories with a product pitch at the end are really offering nothing. Any truly intelligent and knowledgeable investor is concentrating on growing their own assets and not trying to suck dollars from bank accounts of little people. Unfortunately, the small investor usually only figures this out after having turned money over to the scam artists.
The way to financial success is very, very straightforward: save, save, save and invest in assets that offer steady growth over time (think investment grade bonds, market-sector leading companies trading below historical norms, and so forth). I highly recommend Ben Stein’s book “You Can Time the Market” which presents the most intelligent framework for how to analyze market conditions, for index or individual stock investments.
This author Ben Stein is the same who also played the science (math?) teacher in “Wonder Years” who happens to be an economist and was in a previous administration on the President’s Board of Economic Advisors.
And note: you can probably find his book in the library, or used on Amazon for about $3.00. There’s all the investment you need to start learning.
Back to saving — save on the order of 20-30% of discretionary income a year if in your 20’s/early 30’s and if you don’t squander on “get rich” gimmicks you will be independently wealthy by 50. If you are 55+ with limited savings, don’t waste your money on trying to turn $5000 into $5 million because most likely you will turn $5000 into $0.
Its Stansberry’s Investment Advisory “End of America VIDEO”
IS THAT SIMPLE ?

Can you Buy Gold @ $421 an Ounce through this “Jewelers Loop Hole”
by xxxxxxxx in Service Ripoffs
Greg Plumer of Absolute Wealth is now touting about some Jewelers Loop Hole that could make you a fortune by showing you a method that could buy Gold at 1/3 the price I am very cynical and concerned how this could ever be possible I tried decipher his claim by watching the much touted Video.
He claims it is some kinda Jewelers Loop Hole.
I want to put myself in a position to be able to buy Gold at 1/3 its Market Price but the description at the first sight seems hilarious buying any thing at its all time high is nothing less then foolish I know..
He talks about a loop hole that enables you could buy Gold for less then $ 421 an ounce this all sounds fishy to me He goes in minute unnecessary detail about How he met the guy who showed him this secret of buying Gold , at 1/3 its market price does any one out there have the patience to listen to his lengthy presentation.
This all seems to me to be a stuff for bamboozled… tricked… duped… and flat-out taken advantage of…
Presentation and a just another conspiracy.
