I'm a current customer of InvestorPlace, and subscribe to two of their newsletters. I recently received an invite to Luke Lango's "Elon's Vertical AI Masterplan" webcast. I received a detailed article explaining the content of the website, and was encouraged (many times) to print-out the worksheet, and have my "pen ready" to write down the specific stock symbols that Luke would be sharing during the webcast. After 90 minutes of listening to what could best be described as a repeat of the article that InvestorPlace had previously sent out, it was clear that I could "put my pen down", because Luke had no intention of filling in the worksheet with specific recommendations, even though that was promised multiple times in e-mails from InvestorPlace leading up to the webcast. Instead, at the end of the 90 minutes, it was all about signing up for a more expensive newsletter where we would be able to get that information. This is a terrible way to treat existing customers, and it's very dishonest as well. Normally, I wouldn't even take the time to complain, because I'm sure it won't do any good, but I just have to get this off my chest, and warn others about InvestorPlace's shady tactics.

Thank you for taking the time to share this, and for being a valued subscriber. We’re sorry the webcast didn’t meet the expectations you had going into it — that’s certainly not how we wanted you to feel coming out of it, and we’ve shared your feedback with our team. Our free events are designed to introduce the research and the investment thesis behind an idea — in this case, the framework Luke Lango laid out and the worksheet that accompanied it. The specific stock recommendations that correspond to that research are part of our paid membership, as that detailed research is the product our subscribers receive. We recognize that the distinction between the framework presented in the event and the specific recommendations reserved for the paid service wasn’t as clear to you as it should have been ahead of time. As a current subscriber, your experience matters to us. If you’re still interested in the idea, we’d genuinely be happy to work with you — you’re welcome to reach out to us directly, or to respond with your information, which we’ve requested through the Trustpilot portal so we can connect with you. Thank you again for your candor; we value you as a customer and appreciate the chance to address this.
