Dear Mel,
We strongly disagree with the characterization of Verified Investing as a “scam" and we also want to correct the claim that our YouTube comments are censored.
Our YouTube comments are genuine. We do not remove legitimate criticism or negative feedback simply because it's unfavorable to Verified Investing. As with any public platform, comments that are spam, harassment, or promotional content may be moderated, but genuine discussion and criticism of our services and market analysis are not removed simply for being negative.
We also believe it is important to distinguish individual opinions posted online from verified facts about a company's services or performance. If you were genuinely a member and experienced issues with our services, we are happy to address your specific concerns directly through our Support Team. However, please know that Verified Investing is an educational platform, and members are ultimately responsible for their own trading decisions and risk management.
We stand behind the integrity of our services and remain committed to providing transparent market analysis and education.
Sincerely,
the Verified Investing team

recently joined the Verified Investing…
I joined the Verified Investing Apex day-trading service and found that the style of trading did not match my expectations. I was expecting more technical analysis, risk management discussion, and educational content. Compared to what im used to it felt more like gambling.
After only a few days, I contacted customer support and asked whether my membership could be transferred to the Crypto Smart Money service. I did not ask for a refund and was willing to forfeit the difference in price, but my request was denied.
I was disappointed because I felt a membership transfer would have been a reasonable compromise. I also raised my concerns in the live chat to Gareth but did not receive any response.
This was my personal experience, and I would encourage prospective customers to research the service carefully before subscribing.
UPDATE: Issue is still ongoing unresolved, my emails have been ignored so far to Justin, the managing director of Verified Investing.
2nd Update: i have emailed a cpl more times no response, i would take down my review if we came to an agreement but seems like a hard task to accomplish. Thx
Final update: the 2 recommendation they gave me was either to spend more money to upgrade to the Elite trader plan btw, also they told me for a week out of my 1 month membership to sit on the sidelines and watch. Not very good recommendations almost like they want to put no effort into my actual issue
Response from Verified InvestingAug 10, 2026
Hi Ryan, thank you for your feedback. When you reached out, our team replied the same day with an honest recommendation — give the live room the first week to settle in, since it's a very different experience from the YouTube videos — and explained that our services are billed as separate subscriptions, so mid-term transfers aren't something we typically do. That guidance was genuine and in your interest. We'd gladly have kept the conversation going, but a 1-star review went up before that could happen. Our door is still open at [email protected] if you'd like to continue it constructively.
Team Verified Investing
UPDATE: A note on the sequence, for anyone reading this later. Our team's first reply offered a genuine, same-day recommendation. The 1-star review was posted before that conversation could continue — and we were then told it would be removed if we agreed to an exception to our stated subscription policy. We don't trade policy exceptions for ratings; our published terms apply equally to every member. The door to help with the actual question is still open at [email protected].
UPDATE: To correct how these recommendations are being characterized — our same-day reply offered three concrete things, not a brush-off. First, the standard guidance we give every new member: give the live room its first week, since its pace is a genuinely different experience from the YouTube videos. Second, a plain explanation that each service is billed as its own subscription, so a mid-term transfer isn't possible — along with an open invitation to start the other service whenever you'd like. Third, because you mentioned wanting more technical depth, an optional plan that adds a live Q&A panel with our traders. That was a same-day, detailed response — the opposite of "no effort." Our door is still open at [email protected].

Gareth is an amazing Trader
Gareth is an amazing Trader. Gareth has a $1M cash day trading account that currently reflects a $900,000 open loss on an MU short position. Despite being down over $900,000, Gareth entered two additional positions at $1M each 6/6 on GOOGL and 6/6 on NFLX on June 22, 2026. Isn't that amazing?!?! Unfortunately Gareth realized a $12K loss on NFLX. But that is OK because a $12K loss is better than a $900K loss.

Dear Emanuel,
We're disappointed to see another review containing claims that we cannot verify.
At this time, we have been unable to locate a Verified Investing member account matching the information associated with this Trustpilot profile. If you are or were a member, we encourage you to contact our Support Team with your account details so we can investigate your concerns directly.
Verified Investing is an educational platform that provides technical analysis, market commentary, and trade ideas. Our Pro Traders actively monitor and manage their portfolios based on evolving market conditions, and trading results will naturally include both profitable and unprofitable periods. Isolating individual positions or snapshots in time does not accurately reflect an overall trading methodology or performance.
We remain committed to transparency, education, and providing members with ongoing market analysis while encouraging every trader to make independent decisions based on their own financial circumstances and risk tolerance.
Sincerely,

Not good service for traders
I am a home trader and only income for me is from trading. I saw some Gareth Soloway youtube videos and looked like he knows what he is talking about and I checked his perfect trading record on webpage and decided to subscribe for Swing Trade Alerts. As soon as I subscribed I saw real trading records with all holdings with big loss and never selling on stop loss. The biggest looser was NVIDIA. I quickly realize that this is the way how you will blow up you account and loose money. With such a terrible risk management sooner or later you will loose money. And when I try to leave comments on their social media platforms about my personal experience and pointing out obvious misleading information about position size, winners vs looser etc... They just delete my comments and block me that I can't comment anymore. They have terrible alerts and trading advises for traders. Stay away from them if you will follow 100% their trades and alerts you will definitely lose money sooner or later.
Response from Verified InvestingJul 7, 2026
Hi Dainis,
We're sorry to hear that our swing trade alert services didn't meet your expectations. However, we respectfully disagree with several of the claims made in your review. Verified Investing is an educational platform that provides technical analysis, trade ideas and market commentary and insight, not a managed investment service. Each member is responsible for their own trading decisions, position sizing and risk management and we consistently encourage traders to adapt the analysis that our Pro Traders provide to their own financial circumstance and risk tolerance levels.
We also want to clarify that any open position within our services continues to be actively monitored and discussed by our Pro Traders until they are ultimately closed. While not all trades will perform as expected, our traders have a long track record of performance spanning over a decade+ and we recognize that no strategy or trader will be correct 100% of the time.
Regarding social media, we welcome constructive feedback and discussion! However, comments that violate our community guidelines, including spam, repeated posts, harassment, or promotional content, may be moderated to maintain a productive environment for all members. We do not remove comments simply because they express a different market opinion.
We understand that our trading methodology may not be the right fit for every trader, but we remain committed to transparency, education, and helping traders develop the skills needed to make informed decisions.
Sincerely,
the Verified Investing team

This is the end for me
This is the end for me. After hours of thinking about this and years of hope in this service. I'm tossing in the towel and liquidating my positions.
I have now lost over 150k from this service and have a 25k margin call.
This service has done nothing but destroy wealth. The only clown is myself for following this and thinking this was better than wall street bets or Jim cramer fast money
How can you blame the con artist when were the ones who followed them. When VI hides stock performances, takes down services, ignores your customer service calls, whose fault is that? Its your own for staying with it. I have been here for 5+ years so this is on me.
This will go down as the greatest regret in life so far.
I call the service and they don't care nor do they want to help. The 2025 portfolio per AI if it had 100k to start would be down unrealized loss of -164k so down 164%.
This service absolutely wreck me and I am going to try and salvage the remain pennies i have left
The only joke is on myself but it doesn't matter if this market collapses because this should go down as career defining failure for gareth but it won't. He will hide these comments in order to lure in others
End of the day, this ruined me and I have to just limp away and start over. I no longer want to swing trade and think I'll just do basic saving and investing because I don't want to end up in another service like this.
Good luck and expect to loose all your money here

Dear JJ,
We're sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration you're sharing.
However, we respectfully disagree with several of the claims made. Verified Investing does not hide stock performance, erase trades, or ignore losing positions. Open positions remain visible to our members for the full duration held, and these trades continue to be monitored and discussed by our Pro Traders until they are ultimately closed. Trading results inherently include both winners and losers, and no strategy or trader will be successful 100% of the time.
We also strongly reject the suggestion that our team does not care about our members or ignores member inquiries. Our Support Team responds to member requests daily, and our Pro Traders provide ongoing analysis and updates on the market directly through the different services we offer.
Most importantly, Verified Investing is an educational platform. We provide technical analysis, trade ideas, and market commentary. However, every member remains responsible for their own trading decisions, position sizing, and risk management. The use of margin can significantly amplify gains and losses, which is why we emphasize the importance of risk tolerance according to one's own trading strategy and portfolio.
We understand that our team's strategy may not be the right fit for every trade, and we're truly sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. We wish you the best in your future investments.
Sincerely,
the Verified Investing team

Dishonest and incompetent
The dishonesty is what upsets me most. Yes, like many others, I lost a huge amount of money on the worst stock call of the decade - shorting semiconductors during a historic rally - but that's not even what led me to write a review. I knew the risks and I made the trade anyway. I figured everyone make a bad call sometimes, and I was going to take my loss and move on.. but the the auto-renewal email showed up, and what happened next really opened my eyes.
I was not aware they were going to try and charge me again, and within an hour of receiving it I replied and informed them I had not intended to renew and to please cancel and refund me. I have received refunds from large, faceless corporations several times in this situation, without any hassle. Why? Because they know I might come back someday and they care about maintaining a good relationship. I figured Gareth cares about his customers, not to mention he will probably take pity on someone who just lost 1/3 of his portfolio on his terrible call.. but NOPE! They arrogantly refused to refund, citing terms and conditions no less.
Now let's think about this. If Gareth is such a successful trader, why is he so desperate for that $400 subscription fee that he will burn a bridge with a customer like that? Because that's how he REALLY makes his money, that's why. And because that's how you act when you know you don't really have a valuable, sustainable service, and you need to squeeze every last dollar you can before the music stops.
This caused me to look into it more and find that Gareth is not really a successful trader, he is just faking it til he makes it while making his real money selling "advice". He loses people money on one of these subscription programs and then cancels it, only to start another one just like it in order to wipe the slate clean and start over, luring in unsuspecting traders who don't know his history.
Everyone makes a bad call sometimes, but being dishonest about your performance makes you a scammer. Even if this guy were a good trader, do you really want to do business with someone who has such ruthless contempt for his own paying customers? I don't. Stay far away.
Response from Verified InvestingJun 12, 2026
Dear Christopher,
We're sorry to hear about your experience and your dissatisfaction with both the service we've provided you and our policies.
With that said, we would like to clarify a few points. Our subscriptions are recurring on sign-up, and the renewal terms, cancellation policy, and non-refundable policy are clearly disclosed prior to purchase and agreed to by all members at the time of enrollment. While we understand that forgetting to cancel a subscription can be frustrating, we apply these policies consistently to all members.
We also respectfully disagree with the characterization of Gareth and our services. Verified Investing is an educational platform that provides market analysis, trade ideas, and trading education. Trading involves risk, and no trader or strategy will be right 100% of the time. While some positions have faced challenges in recent market conditions, this is a normal part of trading and our team has also navigated numerous profitable trades and opportunities throughout the year.
Finally, we reject the suggestion that our results or performance is dishonest. We remain committed to transparency, education, and providing members with ongoing analysis of both winning and losing positions. Open trades continue to be monitored and discussed until they are ultimately closed.
We understand that our services may not be the right fit for every trader, but we stand by the integrity of our team, our educational mission, and the value we provide to our members.
Sincerely,
the Verified Investing team

Gareth is down hundreds of thousands this year
Luckily I stopped mirroring Gareth's trades pretty quickly, upon realizing how flawed his approach has become. But I kept watching his portfolio in horror. He is a contrarian swing trader, going heavily against the grain (lots of shorting things that are breaking out, with no stops). The trouble is he cannot accept when he's wrong and will double and triple down on losing positions.
He recently took a $300k loss on SOXS in a million dollar account. So he blew a third of his account by holding a 3x leveraged contrarian play against the hottest sector of the year. He still has a SOXL short also (why short SOXL? Odd amateur move when you could go long on SOXS) that is down 61%, $-106,000 as of today (6/3/26). So it will be over $400k he's lost shorting the semis, if he were to also cover this short today.
He also heavily goes long on things that are dying, with no clear stops, and just doubles and triples down as the knives fall more.
Even a mid-level trader should know that 3x leveraged (especially inverse ones) should never be held long term for huge losses. These are VERY short term tools that should have tight stops. They also decay. Look at a long-term chart of things like SQQQ, SOXS, etc. They are not long-term investments.
I assume he's had some success in past years by simply doing the opposite of the market and then waiting for turnarounds. Hopefully he has learned from this year's disaster and won't blow up more people's accounts alongside his in the future. If there is a business left after this year.
I can only imagine how upset someone would be if they had a big account too and had just been mirroring him. Thank God I caught on quickly and just pivoted to watching this train wreck unfold.
They say great traders "don't predict, they react". Gareth does the opposite. Predicts, stubbornly holds to his predictions, and has no idea how to react properly to losses.
Gareth's current live open portfolio is in the red $-445,990 more right now (6/3/26) on top of the huge SOXS loss already taken.
Now let's wait and see Verified Investing respond to this saying they somehow "respectfully disagree" with the cold hard facts here.

Dear Skyler,
We're sorry to hear that this has been your perception of our service. We appreciate you sharing your perspective but we disagree with the characterization of Gareth's methodology and track record.
Gareth's approach has always been rooted in technical analysis and identifying high probability setups. While some positions can experience drawdowns before ultimately working and playing out, others may not work at all. That is the reality of trading.
It is important to note that Verified Investing is an educational platform, not a managed account service. Members are never required to mirror trades, and we consistently emphasize the important of position sizing and risk management when adapting any of the insight or trade ideas provided to one's own financial situation and risk tolerance.
No trader, strategy or methodology will be right in every market. While some positions may not perform as expected, evaluating a trading approach based solely on a specific period ignores the broader track record and many successful trades and market calls that have been made over the years.
We respect that our approach may not be the right fit for every trader. However, we stand by the integrity of our analysis, education and commitment to helping educate our members to make informed decisions for themselves.
Sincerely,
the Verified Investing team

Losses that will blow up your account
Having subscribed to the Swing Trader service in 2025 and 2026, I have to say that Gareth Soloway's "risk taking" is destroying value faster than he can post youtube videos to the contrary.
What got me attracted to the service was the "transparency" and "track record" of - what I assumed were - all of their closed trades published across their services. Very high returns and an average win rate of 90% or so, whether it was swing or commodities.
Once subscribed, you can see the reason for this - they leave out-of-the-money trades open in perpetuity regardless of what these positions, if you actually followed them, would to your margin account.
Nvidia short is open from 2023. His "hard asset advantage" service was closed end of 2025 with Silver short being closed at -88%. He deleted this from the website - so no, not all closed trades are posted.
If you followed those trades, to which Gareth no longer provides commentary on since they are not part of his newly launched 2026 portfolio, you'd have blown up your account.
For his 2026 portfolio, at least, there is no more hiding as all positions - open or closed - are reflected in their real time P&L.
He is down 35% for the year with negative buying power. Funny, how transparency into his "real" trading account can reveal what you actually get here.
He claims to have mastered technical analysis but shorts into uptrends numerous times saying that "the top is in, the top is in..." - only to add again the same day.
Good luck.

Dear Marcus,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. While we respect your opinion, we would like to clarify several important points for readers.
Verified Investing does not hide, erase, or forget about trades. Any position that remains open within our services continues to be actively monitored and covered by our Pro Traders through ongoing analysis and market updates. Open positions remain visible to members, and trade outcomes are not removed simply because a position is experiencing a drawdown.
It's important to understand that Verified Investing is an educational platform. We provide market analysis, trade ideas, and educational content, but every member is responsible for making their own trading decisions, including position sizing, risk management, and whether a particular trade aligns with their individual goals and risk tolerance.
Trading is inherently probabilistic, and no methodology will be correct 100% of the time. There will be winning trades, losing trades, and periods where certain market environments are more challenging than others. Our Pro Traders continuously evaluate positions based on evolving market conditions and technical analysis, and strive to continue to provide our members with ongoing insight and coverage while a position remains held.
We understand that our approach may not be the right fit for every trader, but we stand by the transparency of our services and our commitment to educating our members.
Sincerely,
The Verified Investing Team
