Verified InvestingReviews of verifiedinvesting.com

I love your great recommendations! Thanks!

Great value for what they give you. Tried three other sites before Verified Investing and canceled within 2 days. I will be staying with Verified Investing.

Gareth might as well name his company “Vulture Investing.” Can’t take credit for that one but it’s beyond fitting so had to. He’s a complete Joke in the community. Extremely expensive for the garbage pail he wants people trapped in. There is plenty of free information and real traders out there you can follow or join that actually win and show you how. For instance: Kyle Doops, Trader Mayne, Camel Finance, AskSlim to name few. Don’t get “SoldAway” on your hard earned money. It’s time that you will never get back. This may not be most eloquent review but at least it’s honest. Not sure how Gareth lives with himself. I mean imagine having children and doing people the way he does. 24% of entire portfolio on one trade that fails. He will probably say he didn’t put that alert out but he will be a liar if he does. He 100% did and I have photo evidence plus many more screenshots. What an absolute Weasel. This was his trade alert that he actually added to and only one of them that totally screwed me: Crypto: BTC/USD Buy/Short: Short Entry Date: 11/06/2024 Average Price: $86,120.00 Stop: $105,000.00 Target: $60,000.00 Recommended % Of Portfolio: 24% or Less Go look at the chart and see what happened. It’s all right there for everyone to see. Bet he says oh but the stop loss. Add up all the trades and his claimed 90% win rate. Nobody, and I mean Nobody has a win rate like that. I was the Fool. But I won’t be fooled again. At least by him. I wish they would ban him. Where is the SEC and the investigation into his B-book??? Please help save us Americans from the fraud that he is. If you read this Gareth, Don’t reply. I want you out of my life forever! Your face makes me cringe every time now.

I have been a member following gareth since 2022 when it was INTHEMONEYSTOCKS. My portfolio has never recovered since and have sat with huge unrealized losses just praying for an economic disaster so that I would make some back. His marketing is very catchy and he really will play into your emotions like he is different “outperforming the market” and “creating real wealth”. Verified Investing was created and members were transferred over. Since Verified Invested things have gone quite strange.Just dont ask him about his NVDA position. I consistently send him all of the compiled information on this and it week after week goes ignored by his whole team and him. In his videos he will use phrases to keep you hooked in and on the edge of possibilities but it’s all a delusional scheme not following his own methodology. I have spent weeks posting questions through the appropriate channels emailing and calling support only for them to refer on down the line with no real answers. I have given his team and gareth weeks to acknowledge and give responses to any of these holes in their reporting and they wont even acknowledge this or give me the time of day. Please believe the other 1 star reviews. I understand having some bad trades but I cannot accept the lack of integrity and gaslighting. I hate to write this review because at times I have loved this service and education provided but at this point I am left with no choice to steer others away from getting hurt. I would love for them to contact me and make this all right but until then I will follow through with the options available to me like posting this review to the public. Update.. October 17th my subscription was renewed for $396. October 24th this review was flagged and I have been locked out of my account with no explanation or refund. They wont answer my calls, support emails or scheduled meetings. Very concerning. Why would they ignore me if they have nothing to hide? Why would they delete my account following the trade if they have nothing to hide?

Don't bother! I have been a paying client for almost 5 years for stocks and crypto service. I had to end the stock subscription as almost all my stocks were in the red. I signed up for the three trading courses strategies, setups and secrets of a winning trader that currently cost $10k with the understanding that I will have access to them forever. SCAM alert... apparently it says in the terms & conditions that you pay $10000 for only 8 months! And then you can sign up again, I guess, for another $10k for another 8 months?! Gareth is average at best....and now lost all credibility. Verified Investing is not a honest and honourably company... don't waste your time and money on these scammers. Watch the daily free youtube videos and you get your money's worth!

Update Even though I still like watching Gareth and the VI team on Youtube, I'm downgrading to 2 stars in order to be objective. I've been exposed to other trading techniques and master traders, and I have to say, objectively speaking, the execution here is inferior. High win rate is great, but the R2R is asymmetrically skewed to the downside. My honest suggestion to the company is to be open to other styles of trading, and to have a diversity of analysts when it comes to trading styles. I get the feeling that everyone has to agree 99% of the time in VI, and that's an echo chamber if so. Again, I don't say this to be defamatory, but just as in my original review, results don't lie. And the results I've seen with others far surpass what I've seen here. Trading is the only career where you can make mistakes and get away with blaming it on the student. In no other profession is this acceptable, and considering the audience that VI tailors to, it's highly irresponsible to dismiss & deflect accusations of risk mis-management by saying every trader is responsible for their own risk when they mirrored the head traders exactly. ______________________ Gareth Soloway and all the other traders are down-to-earth genuine folks. I don't think they're scammers at all. They are very professional as well. As for their track record, it doesn't lie. They do have winning trades 80%+ of the time in the day trading room and the swing trading service. However, as many other reviewers stated, they tend to hold losers and DCA into positions, sometimes several times. If you're okay with this trading style, go for it and you'll likely profit just as they have. One thing that always bothered me about the DCA approach they take is that the losers they do end up taking in the day trading room are usually pretty severe compared to their gains. Gains will be range in the $1000-$3000 range mostly, but losses sometimes can be in the $10,000+ range. So you would really need around 5 winning trades to offset the losses of 1 bad trade. Again, results don't lie though, they are profitable over the long term. You really need to have faith and commit to every trade they take if you want the same results. Easy in theory, but in practice, when you see your account down 5% on a daytrade and they're still adding to a short or long, you end up getting very hesitant to follow suit, because what if this is the one trade they take an L on that ends up being a huge loss? It's a roll of the dice. And your expected value goes down the more hesitant you get, because if you miss out on the winning trades or go too light on those, you're more likely to enter a bad trade and not be able to offset those losses with a series of winning trades, leaving you net negative. For the swing trades, as others have said, there have been some surprising short positions taken that probably should never have been taken, such as $GE and $NVDA. I understand that TA is helpful to guide your trades, but I find that resistance for hot stocks in an up trending market is less respected, while support is heavily respected, which gives you an inherent disadvantage. Especially for stocks in the S&P that are constantly being bought by 401ks. If you want either take the suggested stop losses (in which case your win rate will probably be abysmal, far less than 80%) or wait till the 3rd add on a lot of shorts, and you'll decrease your chances of being in a huge drawdown. I vehemently disagree with Gareth when he says that he could trade any chart regardless of what the underlying holding is--he often says he could trade rocks if they had a chart. I do believe this applies to most stocks, but there are enough examples to the contrary that Gareth probably shouldn't assert that so confidently. Investor sentiment and news plays a huge role and can defy charts, as has been demonstrated for many of the positions the team is still holding short since 2023. Nonetheless, Gareth is genuinely trying to educate and help new traders and his analysis is very helpful to take into account. Trading psychology plays a big role, and if you're not an experienced trader and you're neurotic, following them can be a very emotionally painful experience. So much so that even if you make money, it's arguably not worth the emotional pain that resulted from it.

In the late 1970's Alan Greenspan used the phrase "irrational exuberance", talking of the stock market. Is that you, irrationally buying/selling blindly following the Verified Investor teams recommendations? They are human, they can be right, they can be wrong. But their APPROACH is spot on. What you are missing is the available SELF-EDUCATION, the many courses, -- as in all things in life, you get out of this service the exact effort YOU put in. The goal for each of us is to DECIDE based on the charts. One of Gareth's phrases is "follow the breadcrumbs"!!! It is MANY crumbs seen together that increases the odds for the right outcome. All about timing... I lost my share of dollars before joining Verified Investing. From my previous losses I took to heart the warning for position size while I got my feet wet this past year +, as I educated myself, learned better overall approaches to trading. I no longer expect "instant gratification" on a trade. I'm all about Slow and Steady.... The various traders individual personalities and risk tolerance lead to varying buy/sell signals. This is your clue. Educate yourself through their courses, find YOUR tolerance, adjust their advice to fit your comfort zone. Taking to heart the need for multiple "breadcrumbs" I continued my education by purchasing Drew's "Decoding the Cycles" course. It is amazing! Get's you thinking about the BIG picture... BIG, in all the way back 100 years!!! How cycles repeat! His Cycles course will help you get ahead of the instant "gratification" expectations. I am a retired realtor, from experience I was aware of real estate cycles, but not the timing.. for several months I considered: "Is this the time to sell my condo?"... One month ago I closed on my condo sale, I feel I now have the best of both worlds. I sold to an investor, I am leasing back, (didn't have to pack and move) !!! -- unlocked my equity now available for additional market investment. Pleased as I am I continued wondering if this was the BEST time to sell... Low! Behold! The timing of Drew's 9-22-2025 cycle report subject was housing, with a warning for what may be coming!!!! Read it! With my real estate experience I had already connected the "breadcrumbs", made my decision... Drew's report connects the real estate timing dots as he sees it. His report gave me the assurance my decision was correct. THAT'S a "Confirmation Signal". Can't put a price tag on that! Education!!! Decide for yourself. Best Wishes to All. GH

The whole platform, app and alert service are actually great. There is a lot of good information throughout their website and I really do appreciate Gereths daily commentary on markets. Risk and portfolio management are absolutely abysmal and this is not designed for retail no matter how much he spins it this way. What is disingenuous is how the portfolio is handled when it becomes absolutely bloated with shorts as the market continues to march on many, many months after he would have expected a pullback by. Positions that may have started off small end up very large and considerably out of the money. Like all of them... at once. Along the way anyone who does not have a large amount of extra money to put into the account to cover nearly daily margin calls will eventually be on their own choosing which positions to either remove for a loss and which ones you can no longer add to. Even when using 2X leverage you still need much more additional money to just maintain margin and this is not even accounting for the fact that he just keeps continuing to both add new positions and add to basically every other position and we've still seen no significant pullback so this would be impossible for anyone else. I have reached out multiple times about this very thing and get basic information like "they are only recommendations" or "I know that it is hard to hold losing positions, they more often than not come back into the money eventually." And we still do not know how squeezed our account will be and how many adjustments and losses we would have to have taken by then. There is no humbleness it is just double down over and over for many months. The whole premise of Verified Investing is that it is information for retail to get an edge over big money which is absolutely laughable and you will get wrecked shorting like he does. He shoots from the hip constantly and never adjusts anything. This method may have worked when he made all his money but it is a disaster in this market. Eventually I am sure he will make some money on a lot of these positions but any normal person would have been unable to take positions/add to existing positions/have a worse average when he finally gets out of a position and you are then left either taking a loss where he exits or will be on your own maintaining the position and praying it corrects more than Gareth needed it to by. As I type this I am still watching my account go down as it does every single day in this bubble. Every technical he has focused on has broken and he just finds yet another one that's "so important" but most likely doesn't work either. You end up praying for these large corrections that are so few and far between and by the time it finally comes your account is so battered and bruised you are grateful to even get a chunk of initial money back in which case what is the point of it all and why pay for the service. Any longs that we have are quickly unloaded around 10% only to subsequently see them run up sometimes 100's of additional %. For someone who traded through multiple bubbles, the advice that is given is a surefire way to blow up your account on the way up. Anyone could just short any high flyers over and over. At my breaking point with this service as I am underwater a massive amount and in margin calls nearly daily and have added a lot of extra money myself and also had to take significant losses as well. Update 10/27/25 They flagged this review as "defamatory content" but couldn't get it taken down so they had to reply to it below. A bad look on this company and it seems like they can't take any valid criticisms from anyone and continually shut off comments. Cannot imagine the money that could be made doing the opposite of Gareth as he "builds his short positions" for 3/4 of the year. Update 11/10/25 259.8% of the portfolio is now being used to break even with positions massively out of the money and still no end in sight. Update 1/15/26 Gareth just said on a daily video that he is now going to be using a new system that will show true P&L and we will be able to see his exact account figures and he'll be able to maintain it as "one portfolio." Like WTH were you doing before? I thought the whole point of recommendations as percentages of a portfolio were that you were maintaining your portfolio as a whole. Its so disingenuous and he just says it as some passing comment. He needs to be more honest and forthright. This whole experience has been so disappointing, I am going to pray these markets correct and I am done following his advice. It is WAY too risky for the average person and I would consider myself more open to risk and able to sit on my account being out of the money more than the majority and even I am just so done with this. Feels like getting stabbed over and over daily. There is also absolutely no way these recent excellent reviews are all legit, no way.
