I recently had an extremely negative experience with Stansberry Research. Many years ago, I subscribed to a newsletter called Gold Stock Analyst (GSA), edited by John Doody, which gave detailed analysis and insights on the gold and silver industry. It was a premier publication and was followed by individual as well as institutional investors. When a stock was added to the top 10 (gold) or top 5 (silver) list, it was a market moving event. Because of this, the publication cost thousands of dollars per year. In January of 2018, Gold Stock Analyst offered a special lifetime subscription offer to its clients. It was thousands of dollars, but I felt it was worthwhile to make the investment so I’d have the industry insights for many decades to come. Prior to committing to the subscription, I went back and forth with a representative at GSA in order to get assurances that the newsletter would continue on for many years. I received assurances (in writing) that the publication would continue for several more decades under John Doody as well as a successor if he were to retire. With that assurance, I made the investment to become a lifetime member. In July of 2019, the GSA newsletter was sold to Stansberry Research. John Doody ended up retiring a few years later with Garret Goggin taking over the editorial duties. Things were continuing just fine until May of 2024 when Stansberry Research sent out a note saying the GSA newsletter would be discontinued. No refund was offered and the only alternative was to their existing True Wealth Systems newsletter. But after looking at the newsletter, it was clear it would not offer any of the analysis, in depth coverage, and expertise which I had with GSA. I sent an email on May 8th to their two main email addresses asking for more information about how they would offer similar coverage of the gold & silver industry, a refund, or at least another newsletter that was on par with GSA. After 9 days, I received no response so I called them. I explained the situation to their representative and after confirming my information and subscription, I asked for a refund. She replied “that’s not going to happen”. I threatened to take legal and she said she would circle back with her leadership team and call me back. She never did. So after yet another follow up email she replied that they would not offer a refund and “our hands are tied” because my payment was paid to GSA prior to Stansberry buying them out. When a company acquires another company, you’re purchasing that company plus all the obligations and agreements that former company engaged in. That’s why due diligence is so important. Stansberry’s “tough luck” approach has left me with a bitter taste in my mouth and no alternative but to sue them in court (which I will do). I would stay far away from this dishonest company.

Very lengthy presentations an hour or more long designed to scare you. Of course they know the secret and it only costs $2500 and they do this more than once. Wind bags. It came with my subscription to Chaikin Analyitics. They have a deal for sure. I use Chainkin Anylitics which is worthwhile the $2500 annual fee. That also has a lot of very long an hour plus repeating and repeating. How this works for them is a mystery. These two groups work marketing over time. You just need to tune out the blah blah! Focus on their great tools. That’s my take.

I have followed S.R. since 2008. Have subscribed to a few services with limited results. i just listened to the sales pitch video on Altimetry - Joel Litman (not to be confused with a service with a similar name - Altimeter Capital) that promised a 2 stock recommendation and the reviews talked about a trial period. The reviews were as many 1 star vs. 5 star. I'm always leary of 5 star reviews. Anyway - bait and switch( no 2 recommendations or 30 day trial) and complete waste of time watching the video with the exception I learned about the Russell reconstitution on June 28th. I will also say during the 2008/09 financial crisis and housing collapse - Stansberry discussions about a historic housing event were correct.

This company treats the average person like an idiot. Usually you get invited or see an "urgent" ad for to a 3 hour "panel" where they have their analysts discussing the current market status and economy but it is actually a sales pitch to sell you one of their products....which is fine. They will try to lure you in with a "limited one time" offer with a lifetime subscription to their product. You pay a multi thousand dollar "upfront" fee and you get lifetime access to their service. They will lure you in by cherry picking examples of 500+% gains and neglect to mention that 90% of their picks are flops and will lose you money. Once they have your money, you will find that the portfolio solution you just signed for is completely mismanaged, neglected and underperforms by a mile. They will attempt to sell you additional services and try to extract as much money from you as possible. Screw these guys

Once you subscribe to their emails you will NEVER cease to receive them! I have unsubscribed numerous times yet my inbox continues to fill up with their ridiculous rantings. Check out their profile on the BBB website. Very sketchy operation. So glad I did not give them any money.

If I could give them a zero I would. Porter Stansberry offers free research and after sitting through a 1.5 hr video about biotech and the key stocks to buy that are net net positive meaning their actual assets are higher than the value of all of their stock...soo waiting for the info and get sent to another link.....a mere $2,500 to get the names of the stocks...sorry, not biting. Stay away folks...scam.

This is a business information company. They sell your contact details and you will receive hundreds (this is not an exaggeration) of unrequested emails. I asked the office to take my name off their subscription list and Jason replied (on 28 Feb) and said they would. But they had sold my name to many other lists so I am still getting hundreds of emails even though I have asked that my name be removed from all the emails it was sold to. Stansberry should arrange that for me if it wants to regain its integrity. It feels like a daily assault when I open my computer. I was asked to supply further information and I have added the name of the person who emailed me and the date to this review. A week later on 25 March 2024. Stansberry may have removed me from their own mailing list but they have not removed me from their sales list although I asked them to. So I am continuing to receive dozens of spam email daily and some of them I have never seen before. I am not sure who is running this company but I don't know how he or she can look at themselves in the mirror every day as this is a company with no integrity. I hope someone at the top of the company will write to me to apologise and, much more important, assure me that my name has been removed from all the email lists they have sold it to and this avalanche of spam will end. Thank you.

1) I bought a subscription last September 21 2023 and an email said they were giving me another subscription instead around November 2023. 2) when I signed In after the holidays, I saw no subscription under my account. I had called in January to Stansberry and their rep. said they would call me back that day, that someone had deleted my subscription. They would see if they could give me a subscription of choice instead of what they would choose ( to me a horrible value trader. Like who wants to touch value stocks which are often bearish anyways. I had bought a 10x your money subscription ). 3) I went to my credit card company after the stansberry rep never called me back as promised. My credit card was refuned. 4) But I now stansberry rebilled with a chargeback 02/21/24. Like really, so dishonest. 5) Today march 1st I see that I still have no subscriptions under my name. I checked today on 3/1/2024 and my account says no subscriptions. so why the chargeback when I still have no subscription. Why don't y'all call me back? Or email me? I wish trust pilot would let me post photos. Now I'm out $2300. If you care about customers and return business, refund my money or I will continue to post here and other review websites with photos of the company's wrongdoing and find other places to post. lawsuit Christine Tyler Texas
