I am a subscriber of smart money stocks…
I am a subscriber of smart money stocks and ETF since Feb end. It started nicely, but right now the situation with the portfolio is in deep red. I realized that Gareth is only a reversal trader, and the entries are very normal - sell at high and buy at low. well it was working nicely, until he decided to start shorting into this rally. ever since the rally started and markets touched ATH, all we have been doing in the portfolio is adding on to shorts. the biggest loser is SOXS (inverse on semi's)...its a big loss, and every time all he tells in his videos is that markets are way too extended, and drop can happen any time. but sorry, this is not what I expect from a professional trader like him with more than 2 decades of exp. I am very frustrated, and I take it as my responsibility to inform potential new investors that this kind of ordinary investing is what even we were doing before joining his service. so theres nothing special about him. real test is when markets are tough. and its not even tough right now, we are seeing ATH in markets, and he has been shorting in anticipation of a pullback, which is not coming so far. now there's no option, but to wait for a pullback while the markets rip to ATH every day. very disappointing timings tbh.
