I don't use the stock picks, I only use the macro trends as a guide to my ETF picks. I value and trust their overall economic analyses.

Macro... macro.... macro. Analysis of all the major moves of the market. Forget the narratives and subscribe to Hedgeye for market insight and portfolio risk management.

Ive been managing money for 6 years, sell side for longer. Just been watching him since May 2022, but very constructive on his data driven process and ability to go long and short. I went through his Hedgeye university and am familiar with his foundational beliefs. Many of the 1 star review critics should go through it. 1. Regime based allocation strategy ie quads gives him a macro framework to hold his positions in different asset classes for 3-4 quarters and beyond. 2. Hedgeyes large research team (and the company culture seems great in there) are top notch. 3. Their peak inflation >recession narrative, way ahead of the private banks I deal with. Wish I subscribed last year so I could have seen this massive drawdown much earlier. This site is for independents who use the service to augment their investment process, or help them create one rather than just be momentum traders. Their system is to focus on asset classes and sectors that work in different quads, and leg into positions based on short term trading ranges and go long short based on implied volatility premiums and discounts. Makes eminent sense and it’s risk based. The massive chip on KM shoulder can be a distraction (sometime entertaining, sometimes just mean ), Notwithstanding, I find their process worth the noise.

The education I am getting from Keith McCullough and The Macro Show is worth the price alone.

Hedgeye is an outstanding investing process for those of us who want to truly self-direct our investments and get away from "outsourcing" to a wealth manager or RIA. Getting immersed in Hedgeye's investing process takes a little time and work. If you can manage to read the Early Look every day and watch the Macro Show, you will get the hang of it in about 2-3 weeks. There is also a learning section to the Website with explanatory videos and articles called Hedgeye University. Hedgeye is not a quick hit, put all your money in 1 or 2 stocks and watch them 10x investment process. The company teaches how to RISK MANAGE. The #1 rule is don't lose money during market corrections while participating in strong market up moves. This is how pros invest - so no surprise that Hedgeye's core business is on the institutional front. There is a pretty big team of analysts at Hedgeye. Everyone I have ever dealt with there was a seasoned investment professional. I don't think they employ any journalist types.

I have been involved in the securities business for 15 years . Everyone wants the beach body but nobody wants to lift the weights. Investing is very hard. There are 100 bag holders for every Dogecoin millionaire. Hedgeye provides a set of affordable risk management tools. They are geared towards serious intellectually honest investors. Haters are either newbies, lazy, overly emotional or dishonest with themselves (seek to blame others). If you want to learn to preserve and compound your capital, this is for you. If you want to roll the bones , try WSB message boards.

Brian McGough is killing it. I keep a spreadsheet of different stock tip analysts and services and as you know, the market has been getting crushed across the board. I started tracking HedgeEye at the beginning of 2021 when I got a free email about the The Pitch series. I see that McGough is on fire. Everything he recommends this year is doing great. DBI, RH, PLBY, and DUFRY (not yet, but will once airports re-open). So now I'm tracking some of their other analysts and things are going great. I don't know why HedgeEye has such bad reviews here, maybe they weren't doing great pre-2021? But if you want to make money in 2021 on re-opening trades then McGough's retail picks are must buys. He is a rain maker this year.

A friend introduced me to Hedgeye many years ago. I’m extremely happy he did. Excellent, non-consensus research/insights particularly Macro. The CEO is unafraid to ruffle feathers/p*ss people off (and is often successful) which may explain the critical trolls on the site!
