Since I've just started really started delving into the market, my review initially deals with customer request concerns. Seeing that I may have been eligible to receive some additional literature on financial help, I contacted Agora. They quickly responded to my request by agreeing to send me all of the materials that I asked for. I look forward to further use of their services. Bob

In 2014 I paid $1,000 for a lifetime membership of agora's financial advisory reserve. It was a lot of money for me at the time as I had been scammed before but I had success with their other services. at the time there were about 6 services which paid for themselves in a few months. I am making good money with them as for some reason I now have over forty services. Some of them very average but there are some really great ones like Robert Kiyosaki and Zach scheidt's buyout millionaires club and his income on demand. there have been no requests for extra money so it is the best $1,000 I have ever spent.

they kept trying to get me to purchase more and more programs and newsletters. Every stock tip that I invested in lost money. So not happy with this company. A pyramid scheme almost.

Judging from the content I subscribed to, Weekly Cash Flow by Robert Kyiosaki, these guys deliver good education and a good service.

Don’t even think about it!
I think this is one of the times I had a pretty clear understanding of an investment product where I could separate the performance from all the noise. I got stuck with agora after purchasing the altucher report for a 2500.
Once I bought that for its crypto hype, it has been impossible to shake these guys for 3 years now.
I think I’ve turned 100k into 896 following their advice.
Basically their selling subscriptions with no real advice behind it, the subscription is the product.

"Lifetime" Subscriptions That Are Neither Lifetime Nor Refundable
In October 2017, less than 2 years ago, I paid Agora $3,000 for a lifetime subscription to Rickard's Gold Speculator, a weekly publication related to investing in small gold miners. I was pleased with it.
Recently, this newsletter was discontinued and Agora Financial unilaterally substituted another publication, Jim Rickard's Project Prophecy, often which appear to be pitches for yet other products sold by Agora and usually has little to do with gold or miners when an occasional recommendation is made.
Then, just "coincidentally", Agora's subsidiary Stansberry Research recently initiated what appears to be a quite identical gold mining stock service, Gold Stock Analyst with John Doody.
On August 27, 2019, I spoke to "John", a senior account specialist at Agora about this. I inquired into whether there was a substitute publication available specifically for gold mining stocks but he indicated there wasn't. When I inquired about getting switched into the Gold Stock Analyst service, he indicated that wasn't possible. When I inquired about a full or even partial refund of the $3,000, John said it wasn't refundable.
So, in less than 2 years, Agora discontinues a "lifetime" gold mining publication, has no substitute, won't provide a full or partial refund of a lifetime subscription to it, then initiates an almost identical gold stock advisory service service through it's sister publication Stansberry.
This type of behavior by a financial service is, in my opinion, highly unethical if not illegal.

Hello Craig, thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience. Although we share a "parent" company, we are unable to swap newsletters for other company newsletters for a number of reasons. I would recommend contacting our customer care team by phone (1-800-796-1871) or by email ([email protected]) and someone will be able to assist you with your refund. Again we apologize for the confusion.

Not using much yet, but looks really good
I've only been able to go through a small amount of the material you send out, otherwise I might have given a higher score -- I look forward to making the most of the subscription!

Altucher Alliance
Altucher Alliance: Some of the newsletters are given more care than others. I feel like new newsletters are launched too often which waters down the rest of them. Many trades have been successful but have been drowned out by big losses from put options that were exercised (gsky) which are now sitting in my account down 70%. Part of that is bad asset allocation on my part since the 100 shares that options trade in is usually a bigger number of shares than I would normally allocate if I was just buying a stock.
Response from Agora FinancialAug 12, 2019
Hello Aaron, thank you for the feedback. We always want to make sure we are providing cutting edge information and therefore launch new newsletters to share the material in an organized way. I will definitely share your input as it helps us become a better business. If there is ever anything more we can do for you, please contact our customer care team at [email protected] or call 1-800-796-1871.
