Mr C.
Be contrarian & steer clear of Bernie Schaeffer's no research service.
Like others have mentioned they pressure sell, having signed up to the Elite Trader their recommendations have been totally off and nonsensical in some cases. I am in 4 digit losses and asked for my money back, which they have refused. When I complained, they highlighted Bernie is a contrarian investor. I wish they had told me that before I paid any money to them. Some of the stock picks are totally crazy, but I was assured they do all the heavy lifting and research. That's simply not true. I had thought about being contrarian myself and doing the exact opposite of what they recommend. I think then I would make some of my losses back. I would steer well clear of them if I were you.
