I like this service and use it regularly. My only real issue is that the HUGE number of "core" stocks in the portfolio. IMHO, this significantly degrades the usefulness of this key part of the service.

I agree with the theories but, not the gaslighting
Interesting reading and listening from Luke and while I do believe in his core beliefs and my portfolio strongly mirrors his stock selections, I feel like there is some gaslighting going on. You mention the gains of a few but how about being down 60% on Opendoor or over 50% now on Stem or even worse 92% on Ouster, 94% on Arrival, 70% on Canoo just to name some companies that at some point Luke had as must buys somehow and that they would change the world. Now, I believe of few of them will rebound eventually and years from now they will be winners and they will cover the extreme losses of the losers but, there are tons of losers and stocks that we are told are great only to be told months later that they are not (Ilika which you used for a presentation and numerous sales and marketing pieces as you did with AEVA now trading around $1 and don't forget about Matterport which went from the greatest company in the world in Lukes' eyes to a serious question mark also now down 50% in my portfolio all in 2 quarterly reporting periods)
Another thing that is somewhat upsetting is the extreme right marketing pieces you sometimes email making claims about the Biden administration trying to ruin our country and economy and how about your cross marketing with Tradesmith? Which frequently tells me to do the opposite that Luke is telling me to do...
I spent thousands of dollars on some of Luke products only to spend $2K more on tradesmith based on Lukes recommendation which once again did nothing but, go against a lot of Lukes guidance and confused the hell out of me so I wound up panicking and selling some winners before they became winners because of their red/yellow/green rating which a lot of the time does not match with Lukes' theories.
Anyhow, I feel the information is very interesting and useful but, a lot of gaslighting going on as I am constantly told to buy the dip which I have been doing now for close to 2 years while my portfolio keeps falling (if we were told to hold off for a while and then told to buy the dip later I'd be in much better shape right now) while I keep holding out hope every time Luke moves the goal posts back about the big melt up we were supposed to have already had...but, I will stay the course as I do believe some of these companies like Sofi, Open, Luminar etc will be big winners one day and hopefully ASTS which Luke said would be $100 by last December and is now around $4.40 a share will eventually prove Luke right.
In short, very good and useful information and I do believe that Luke is extremely intelligent and his core theories for a lot of these companies will turn out to eventually be true. But, my personal feeling is that there are still some holes and gaps that need to be filled before I could recommend someone drink the Kool Aid the way I have.

I’m there for the long term.
I’ve only dealt with Luke’s subscriptions so can’t really grade Investorplace in it’s entirety. I’m very happy with the daily updates and research provided. I don’t know of anyone else that does that. There’s many products to choose from and most at a very reasonable price.
In fact there’s probably too many. The reason I haven’t given 5 stars is probably more my own short comings.
Inexperienced in trading, I’ve bought too much, unfortunately at the worst time like everyone else and spread myself too thin. But if I’m to make any criticism re my membership it would be that occasionally the goal posts are moved and previous hot stocks are abandoned without notice left me holding the bag and not knowing what to do next. Sometimes stocks that aren’t in the portfolio are highlighted and I’m confused as to how they are relevant to my portfolio which is losing ground.
I’m confident that things will come good and Luke’s daily bullish rhetoric inspires me. This is, I feel, a very good company and I’ll be there for the long term.

There are a lot of stocks to choose from when you combine both the core and venture portfolios.Someone in my position must make choices as which stocks to add to my personal portfolio.Yes, it's true that I have ended up with some winners, but I have also added some losers to my portfolio.I can't possibly include all the stocks in both portfolios, so I guess my biggest griev-
ance would be to trim the portfolios down a little bit to the ones with Mr.Lango's strongest convictions for future growth.
Sincerely, Sergei Martynuk
