Is Fortune Builders a Scam? – What You Should Know

Fortune Builders is a real estate investing education company that provides everything from inexpensive online courses to very expensive one-on-one coaching programs. There are many good things said about this place and it can be very tempting to buy into some of the more expensive educational products that they offer, but is it really worth it? Or is Fortune Builders a scam possibly that is just going to leave you upset and with a bunch less money at the end of the day?

In this review I will be going over what exactly Fortune Builders is, the different type of education that it provides, the prices, complaints and more.

What Is Fortune Builders?

Like I said, it is a real estate investing education company. The company was founded back in 2006 by Than Merril, who is a graduate of Yale University but is probably most well known for being a NFL safety. Merril got involved in real estate and started his own company back in 2004 and after finding success he decided to create this Fortune Builders educational company.

There is a vast array of education that Fortune Builders provides. It attracts people with many different interests related to the real estate industry, such as flipping houses, wholesale, and rehabs.

Prices vary a lot with the different levels of education provided. They offer everything from basic online courses that you can take notes and learn a bit from, to very expensive one-on-one coaching where you are guided through the many processes and given a “system” that you can use to maximize profit and reduce risk.

Education

On their website there really isn’t all that much information on what all educational type products they offer. However, from what I can find they offer the following…

Online Courses: As I mentioned briefly earlier, these are online courses that you can take from home on your end time. There are several different courses and they range in topics from wholesaling to tax liens and deeds.

Seminars: These seem to be short two hour or so events that usually lead to something else, Such as getting you to attend one of the three day workshops.

3-Day Workshops: These three day workshop seem to vary a good bit depending on where you are located and who is teaching them, and because of this they also vary in price a lot. If you already have a business in place then these weekend events can help provide a good polishing touch if you’re looking for some tips/tricks to improve your business, but there is not enough included here if you are a beginner looking to get started. Topics range from commercial building to wholesaling and it seems like pretty much everything is fair game.

Mastery Program: The mastery program is the peak of the education that they provide. This is where you get extensive one-on-one coaching and really are guided through the process of getting your own business up and running. This program includes live weekly training webinar classes, curriculum that is laid out for you, action plans, systems you can use to dissect the business to keep things running more smoothly and efficiently, a back office CRM and a database to manage your business and more.

The Cost

When it comes to the cost of the different educational products they provide it is really hard to find information. They do not state any prices on their website so to find out the costs associated with the different levels of education I resorted to reading through tons of customer reviews.

And like I said, the prices of these different levels of education seems to vary a lot depending on where you are at and who is putting on the event or providing the training. For example, I know that some people are paying $197 to attend the three-day weekend workshops whereas others are paying $297. Why the difference? Well I don’t really know because they don’t provide any information on this.

And when it comes to the mastery courses is the same deal. Most of what I have found seems to point to the mastery program costing around $10,000 but I have also read reviews about people claiming that it costs up to $30,000, which is a massive difference of course. And then what is really strange as I’ve also read reviews of people talking about products costing in the $2000-$5000 range, which is really strange.

Honestly I don’t know what to tell you when it comes to the cost. They just are not transparent at all with it and it is hard to find good information.

Complaints

Overall a general consensus on the education provided is pretty good. Most people are very happy with the knowledge and tools provided.… Not really any complaints here.

Where the complaints come into play is with what appear to be deceptive sales tactics. My guess is that the employees of Fortune Builders are making some pretty nice commissions when selling these products. Some of the complaints I’ve read on websites like the Better Business Bureau compare the employees to used car salesmen, that just constantly try to suck every penny out of you.

I also really did not like how they are not transparent with their prices. Because of this you really don’t know if you’re getting a good deal or not when buying in. The prices seem to be all over the place and you have no idea if you’re getting ripped off or not.

There are reviews I have read, such as that below, from people who claim they were suckered into buying more expensive programs because they were told that they were the cheapest option, only to find out later that they were not the cheapest option.

*Note: I would like to point out that overall this company has very good ratings from customers. Sure it has complaints too, but what company doesn’t?

Conclusion on Fortune Builders – Scam?

No I do not think that Fortune Builders is a scam in it any way. They do seem to provide a very good education and really help people become successful in the world of real estate investing, which can be very lucrative. Of course whether you are successful or not largely depends on yourself and how much action you take, but as for the education provided… It is about as good as it gets.

If you don’t have an entrepreneurial mindset with plenty of self motivation and desire to do this then you are not going to succeed, no matter how much education you get.

My only complaint, and the majority of complaints, comes from the somewhat deceptive sales tactics used to get people to buy into the expensive mastery program. So if you are going to get involved be aware of this and really make sure that you ask every question possible to ensure you are getting a good deal before actually giving them your credit card.

1-Minute Windfalls Review – Guaranteed $4,000/mo or Scam?

So I’m guessing that you came across this 1 Minute Windfalls opportunity and are questioning whether or not it is legitimate. Is it all just a bunch of hype or are you really guaranteed to make at least $4000 every month with these “1 Minute Windfalls”? Or is this all just a bunch of nothing? Is 1 Minute Windfalls a scam that you should avoid?

In this review I will be going over what you need to know about this opportunity before hand. The video presentation is pretty misleading at some points which I want to point out as well as a few lies that were told. Overall I would say that, while you can make money with this, the sales pitch is over the top and a bit deceptive.

1 Minute Windfalls Review

The video presentation for this opportunity is presented by Matt Badiali, who is a veteran in providing investment advice and works as a chief editor for Banyan Hill publications. But anyways, I’ll get more into him later… Right now I want to talk about the video presentation and clarify a few things.

Matt tells you that this opportunity is based around a “little known strategy” where you can make very profitable trades in only 60 seconds. He claims that tons of these windfall opportunities exist and that he is so confident that you can make good money with this that he guarantees this strategy will help you generate $4000 each month over the next year. He even tells you that this is a conservative guarantee and that making $10,000 per month would not be out of the ordinary.

At one point in the video presentation he even tells you that his company is willing to send you a free computer so that you can capitalize on these lightning fast trades. The computer has trading software installed on it that they have been working on for years and the only thing you have to do is pay shipping. But is this really true? How can they just send you a free computer like this?

Well… There is a catch as I will explain later in this review. There is always a catch is in there?

What are 1 Minute Windfalls?

Throughout much of the video presentation you are left wondering what the heck these 1 Minute Windfalls even our. At first it seemed like you are just going to be investing in the stock market and making very fast trades but it turns out this is not how it works. You are told that you can somehow make money with these opportunities before even buying a share of stock.

So what the heck is that they are talking about? This opportunity is based around options trading, and in particular selling options.

A guy named Chad Shoop is the man behind this method. At one point in the video they show Chad helping a few people with no experience make these windfall trades for themselves in a matter of 60 seconds. In the video they show him making a put trade for a several month duration and choosing “sell to open” action. And that is it. After placing the trade the money is automatically deposited into your account, and in the example they show this guy named Chris making $1200 doing this…

Matt claims that this method is incredibly easy and he even compares it to casinos versus gamblers, where you are the casino making all the money and the buyers on the other side, who are buying up your sell, are the ones that are losing the money.

However I’m very hesitant to believe that it is as great as it seems. If it were this easy then it surely will not be once this method becomes more well known in the market becomes more saturated. As with everything, when there are more people doing it the opportunity becomes less profitable.

I am also very hesitant to believe that this is as great as it seems because of the lies that they tell you in the video presentation.

Fake Testimonials

Towards the end of the video presentation Matt shows you pictures of people along with quotes that they have supposedly made about how amazing this trading method is. However… The images that are shown are completely fake and this leads me to believe that the recordings” made her also fake. This is nothing new to me because I have reviewed a few other of Matt’s opportunity sales pitches, such as “Freedom Checks” and providing fake and deceptive testimonials seems to be common.

For example, this guy named Bob Stillwell supposedly made an easy $1000 in just six days with this method. But then I did a reverse Google image search for the picture of him and found that this is nothing more than a stock photo that anyone can purchase online and use as they wish.

Then there was another one, This time the guy’s name was Rui Gonzalez and he supposedly made a 600% gain with this method. But once again the picture is completely fake. I also ran a reverse Google image search of this image and found that it is also a stock photo…

Matt claims to have hundreds of comments like this from people who have capitalized on these 1 Minute Windfalls opportunities. But if they are all fake than this means nothing. 100 fake testimonials proves nothing.

Does Warren Buffet Really Use This Strategy?

He claims that Warren Buffet uses this strategy and has done so to make one time payouts as big as $4.9 billion. That would be crazy if it were true but who knows if this is really true or not. Warren Buffett focuses more on long-term quality investments and to hear that he is using these “windfall” options trading opportunities to make boatloads of money sounds a bit strange.

But anyways, who knows… Maybe this is true.

What You Are Really Buying Into

Matt Badiali, the guy presenting this whole thing, is a geologist that specializes in natural resource investing. He really does have a lot of experience as he claims to and has been around for quite some time. This point in time he is probably most well-known for his investment advisory newsletter called Real Wealth Strategist.

But Chad Shoop is the guy behind this all. From what I can see Matt is just presenting the opportunity.

What you are really buying into is Chad’s Pure Income trading newsletter. The “1 Minute Windfalls” pitch is just a “special trading dossier” that you get as a bonus. The real purpose is to get you to buy into the newsletter, which provides options trading advice. Basically what it provides you with is recommended trades, tells you when to trade, helps keep you up to date with the market and so on.

You will get…

Weekly newsletter that analyzes the market, trades, new windfall opportunities
Trade alerts on new recommendations
Market alerts in real-time
Q & A sessions

The Kicker…

It all sounds good and dandy up until this point. Right now you are thinking that you are going to get a free computer that makes it super easy to make these trades, you are going to get told what trades to make so that you can earn easy profits…. everything seems so easy and a little bit too good to be true doesn’t it?

And then it hits you…. BAM… $1,995 is the price tag on this…

The whole “free computer” thing is just a marketing tactic used to lure people in. That computer isn’t free by any means. You are paying for it with the insanely high subscription price to this Pure Income newsletter.

Final Thoughts On It All – Scam?

I know I am being a bit harsh in this review but I think it is necessary when there is so much misleading information being provided. People need to know the truth.

That said…. no I do not think this is a scam in any way. They just get a little carried away with their sales pitches and marketing tactics, which is expected since this newsletter is published by Banyan Hill, a company of Agora Financial who is well known for this kind of thing.

So while the advice provide may be good and lead to profit, just don’t expect it to be the magical fairy-tale opportunity that they present it as.

“Congressional Checks”, Scam by Zachary Scheidt? – A Review You Should Read First!

Zachary Scheidt claims that there is a new provision to the tax code that allows ordinary everyday Americans to collect “Congressional Checks” on a regular basis without doing any work. He lead you to believe that all you have to do is add your name to some list to begin collecting these checks. But can you really trust what he says? Or is this all just a bunch of misleading hype to sucker people in?

Unfortunately much of what he tells you is either a lie or very misleading. Throughout this review I will be going over the absolutely ridiculous video presentation that I came across for these Congressional Checks and all of the deceptive information given out.

I’m guessing that you are suspicious of the claims that Zachary makes. After all, you are reading my review of it right now for additional information. It’s a good thing you are because if you were to buy into this thinking that you are going to add your name to some list and start collecting these “Congressional Checks” then you would just be disappointed.

The Sales Pitch – Deceptive To Say The Least

So I came across this whole “Congressional Checks” thing after finding an ad on Yahoo that you can see below. Dad said that there was this new law that allows the benefit of collecting a monthly check from the US government. This ad was below the featured headline stories on the Yahoo homepage…

But anyways, it doesn’t really matter how you came across this “Congressional Checks” sales pitch. There are probably many different ads and marketing tactics used to sucker people in.

What Zachary tells you is that there was a last minute provision added to the tax plan that could put in extra $6235 or more in your pocket this month and every other month. This “last minute provision” is section 199A. How does this provision allow you to collect these checks? This is something that he never explains… Probably because it’s not true.

He tells you that congressmen are collecting millions in free checks from this provision but most Americans have no idea it even exists. He really tries to strike a nerve and get you fired up because of course no one likes politicians passing laws and making provisions in which they benefit more than the everyday American.

He goes on to show a bunch of screenshots of these “Congressional Checks” that people are supposedly collecting but the problem is that they are all fake. He should people, such as “Kevin L” acting checks for as much as $44,577 but this is all a lie…

And then there was “Sharon L” is really getting a check for $27,897…, Which is also a lie.

About half of the video presentation consists of him just showing these fake checks to make you think that this opportunity is much more incredible than it really is. Why do I say that all of these checks are fake? Well because as you will see there are no such thing as “Congressional Checks”.

Throughout the video presentation I also noticed that he kept saying that I had to act “before June 13”. The funny part is that you could tell the “June 13” part did not fit in the video. You tell it was pasted in there because Zack’s voice sounded different when he said that part. The reason for this is because this part of the video keeps getting updated. Whenever it reaches a June 13 the video will just be re-edited to say a later date. This is nothing more than false scarcity to try to get people to buy into this as soon as possible.

I would also like to point out that all of the quotes that are displayed in the video presentation, such as this one from “Harry F” are more than likely fake as well. There is no proof that the quotes are reeling anyone could have easily made them up, which is likely based on the other misinformation given during the presentation.

Are These “Congressional Checks” Given Out By The Government?

The marketing tactics used here are quite poor. The information given is very unorganized and seems to go against itself at some points.

For example, the ad that I clicked on Yahoo stated that these checks were being given out by the US government, but during the video presentation Zach tells you that this has nothing to do with Social Security or any government program. So this obviously makes no sense.

What The Heck Are “Congressional Checks”?

If you ended up sitting through the entire video presentation, which was like 40 minutes long, then you may have started to figure out what these “Congressional Checks” are that he is talking about. He never gives you a straight answer at all throughout the entire presentation but there are a few clues that you may have caught.

He tells you that there are “fiscally transparent entities” that are benefiting from this new tax provision and are required to make regular payments to their partners. He also says that “nothing is guaranteed” and that “all investing carries risk”.

Yes you heard me correct.… He is now talking about investing which he never mentioned once before. Why is he talking about investing? I thought all I have to do was add my name to some list to begin collecting these checks? After all that is what he tells you early on.

“Congressional Checks” Do Not Exist

As I’ve been saying, these “Congressional Checks” do not exist. They are just a name that Zach made up as part of his luring sales pitch to sucker people in. The same goes for the BS “freedom checks” sales pitch that you may have heard.

The truth is that these checks he is talking about are really dividend payments that you are able to collect from investing in company stocks. Misleading isn’t it? The whole time you were led to believe that you could easily collect of these checks by adding your name to a list and now you find out that this whole thing is about investing in stocks and collecting dividends.

Zach’s Free Book “Congress’ Secret $1.17 Trillion Giveaway”

In Zach’s book he identifies some of these entities that you can invest in which will supposedly pay out the highest dividend, or what he calls “Congressional Checks”.

This book is given away for free and he told you that you will be shown exactly how to collect these checks. He tells you that this book will not be sold anywhere in that he wants to keep it a secret that only a small group of people know about. But of course this is just another pile of BS that he feeds you wish doesn’t make any sense because their advertising this opportunity everywhere.

The book supposedly has a $39 value but all you to do is pay a $4.95 processing fee.

Why is he giving away this book for free and only requiring you to pay a processing fee? Well because this book is just used as a way to get people to sign up for “Lifetime Income Report”, which is an investment newsletter that Zachary Scheidt is the editor of. You will be signed up for a 30 day free trial of this newsletter and if you do not cancel before the trial is up you will be charged for an entire year, which is where they make all their money.

A Look at Lifetime Income Report

Lifetime Income Report is a subscription-based newsletter published by Agora Financial (which is well known for shady marketing tactics like this by the way). The subscription is purchased on a yearly basis and with that you will receive 12 copies of the newsletter, one every month. Each copy will provide investment advice and look into a new investment opportunity. As a subscriber you will also receive email alerts if there are any immediate actions that need to be taken for recommended investments.

I actually wrote a review of Lifetime Income Report already, and the newsletter itself doesn’t seem to be all that bad, the main problem seems to be from the ridiculous sales tactics used to get people to buy into it.

Is This All a Scam?

Well I guess that would depend on what your definition of a scam is. If your definition of a scam is something that provides zero value then this would not be a scam because there is some value provided here. But if your definition of a scam is something that is deceptive and extremely misleading then this would be considered a scam.

The truth is that there is value provided in Zach’s Free book and the Lifetime Income Report newsletter. Zach is very experienced and really was a hedge fund manager as he stated. So he definitely is someone that has the ability to provide good advice. However… People are lured into this opportunity in a very deceptive way. You are lured in thinking that you are going to be collecting these checks by signing up to some list and what is really going on here is you are getting signed up for his newsletter service, which has absolutely nothing to do with collecting checks in this manner.

The Rich Life Letter, Scam or Will It Make You Rich?

The Rich Life Letter is an investment newsletter edited by Nilus Mattive who has quite a professional background in investing. But is is newsletter any good? Does it really live up to all the hype that is going around online? Or is this newsletter just a bunch of fluff that is going to fail to deliver?

I came across a sales pitch for this newsletter recently and knew that I had to write a review on it. Why? Well because the sales pitch is very misleading and very “scammy” seeming. I also noticed that there are a lot of other people out there wondering if The Rich Life Letter it is a scam or not so I will be addressing that here.

The Rich Life Letter Review

So in a nutshell The Rich Life Letter is an investment newsletter that provides advice on investment opportunities that often fly under the radar of the general public. The purpose of this newsletter is to inform people of “hidden gems” that have the potential to increase drastically in price and that not many people know about.

Like I said, Nilus Mattive is the editor of this newsletter. He is the main guy behind it but there is also a team of analysts that help them put this together. As for Nilus he is someone that has a great deal of experience in this area. Before working for Agora Financial, which is the publisher of this newsletter by the way, he worked at Jono Steinberg’s Individual Investor Group, edited Standard & Poor’s investment newsletter, and wrote the popular book The New Investor. Based on his background and accomplishments you peers to be someone who knows what he is doing and can provide good advice. You don’t just walk in and become an editor for Standard & Poor’s investment newsletter. This is a position that only highly qualified applicants will be able to get.

So anyway… The Rich Life Letter is a newsletter, nothing more and nothing less. However, this newsletter is marketed from many different angles, one of which that I came across was about some new Social Security program that Donald Trump supposedly has underway. This is the part of it all that really angers me a bit. The sales pitch and the way that they lure in new subscribers to the newsletter is absolutely ridiculous and very misleading.

I’m guessing that there is a good chance you came across this ridiculous sales pitch as well, which is why you’re reading my review right now, but if you didn’t then don’t worry because I’m going to be showing how ridiculous the sales pitch really is along with the lies they tell you to sucker you into buying it.

The Teaser… Well This Is Ridiculous

The teaser starts off with talking about “A little-known program that allows you to collect regular income checks from $597-$6,189“. But what the heck is this and why have I never heard of this secret Social Security program?

Well as you will find out reason is because it doesn’t exist, but I will go over all of this soon.

The sales pitch plays to the ears of Trump supporters. Throughout the sales pitch they trash liberal ideas and praise Trump and his new economic plans along with this “little-known program” that can supposedly give you free checks in the mail.

Much of the information that you will see in the promotional material is completely fake and made up. Throughout the ridiculous sales page they talk about all these people that are collecting these checks and at one point they even show a picture of these “Trump Checks” that people are getting… Which are not real at all.

They tell you that most Americans have not even heard of this program yet. And as I mentioned above the reason for this is because it does not exist, which is something that they do not tell you. They keep leading you on and on thinking that there is some special retirement program out there that Trump created when there is not.

You are told that this program is available in all 50 states and that is not limited to certain demographics. It does not matter your age or income level, anyone can join in collect these “Trump Checks”

So what the heck is this program? Well the next thing that you find out is that it is funded by the private sector. So how does this work then? Trump created a retirement program that is funded by private businesses? Sounds a bit strange doesn’t it?

Throughout the rest of the sales pitch you really have to pick and choose what to believe and what not to believe. A large amount of the information you are fed is complete BS.

If you read through this sales page you probably remember seeing pictures of a bunch of people that were supposedly collecting large amounts of money with this “program”. The problem is that these people are all fake and made up just like much of the page. As you can see in the picture below, I ran a reverse Google image search of this guy who is supposedly named “Richard Stevens” and found that this guy is not who they say he is. His image is a stock photo which anyone can buy online and use as they please…

And there is plenty more where that came from. I also ran a reverse Google image search on who they called “Jimmy Rogers” who has supposedly banked close to $65,000. And as you can see below when I ran the image search I found that this same image was used on a webpage titled “The Death Below to “The Big 3″ Cable Companies”. What’s funny about this is that this webpage where the image was used is actually a sales page for Technology Profits Confidential which is another newsletter that is published by Agora Financial.

So they are using the same image in two different sales pitches for two different newsletters. And guess what… This guy has a different name in both of the sales pitches.

So what is this “program” that is supposedly the most lucrative retirement program ever? The sales pitch they throw at you is so misleading and so overly fluffed up that it would be normal to not really know what to believe.

And why do you need to take action so soon? Throughout the sales pitch they kept telling me over and over again that if I wanted to be able to collect these checks from this new retirement program that I would have to take action by May 11. However they offer no explanation as to why this is the case. And based on all of the lies that I have already proven in the sales patch in the fact that Agora Financial is well known for lies like this, it only makes sense that this is just another lie.

It’s likely that May 11 will come and go and they will begin telling readers a new upcoming date that they have to take action by. This is a tactic known as false scarcity and is used to get people to buy in as fast as possible.

What’s Really Going On Here

So what this sales pitch is all about is a free report that comes with a subscription for The Rich Life Letter. All of this talk about this new Social Security program that Trump has created is just a clever marketing technique. If you want to learn more about this and take action then you need to the free report and in order to get the free report you have to sign up for a subscription of The Rich Life Letter.

Oh yeah… And what is this new Social Security program anyhow? Well it’s not a Social Security program at all and it actually does anyone have much to do with Trump. This is all just part of the very misleading and luring sales pitch where they sucker people in.

Much like the “Freedom Checks” sales pitch, there it are no such thing as “Trump Checks”. These checks that they keep talking about people collecting are just dividend payments that come from investments, which this report will provide information on. So as you can see it it’s very misleading and not even close to being what it seems to be.

What You Get With The Rich Life Letter

Monthly Newsletter – The main part is the monthly newsletter. Here you will get detailed information about investment opportunities that Nilus is looking into.

Weekly Emails – Every week you will receive an email that will be updating you on market trends, what’s going on with prior investment suggestions, actionable opportunities, etc.

Alerts – You will also be alerted when there is something that requires immediate action. So maybe a stock you are invested in takes a turn for the worse unexpectedly and you need to sell as soon as possible, you will be alerted of this.

Conclusion – So Is This Thing a Scam or Not?

The Rich Life Letter newsletter itself is not a scam. There is nothing about the newsletter that leads me to believe it is. Nilus knows what he is doing and it seems to be providing good investment advice, or at least decent advice. The price is also not too bad. For a year subscription it costs between $49 and $89, not too shabby.

The major problem with this all, in the reason that so many people were questioning whether or not it is a scam, is the absolutely absurd sales pitch that they throw out there to lure in new subscribers. I don’t get why they have to go and do this… Why can’t they just market this newsletter in a more truthful way?

But anyways… It is what it is and Agora Financial is well known for this type of stuff. The sales pitch is very misleading and absolutely ridiculous but the newsletter itself seems to be okay

Is Biotech Breakouts a Scam? – [Quick Review]

So I recently came across this Biotech Breakouts thing by Kyle Dennis that instantly got my attention. This guy claims to have turned a little over $15,000 into over $3 million in a very short period of time trading stocks in the biotech sector, and of course this Biotech Breakouts product he is selling is going to give you the inside information so that you can to… Or at least that’s what you leads you to believe. But is this all true or is this just a bunch of hype that cannot be backed up? Is this a scam?

In this review I will be giving you my take of it. I am not affiliated with this program in any way so you don’t have to worry about me trying to make it seem better than it is. I’ve done a fair bit of digging around doing research on this is me writing putting it all together.

Biotech Breakouts Review

I first came across Biotech Breakouts when looking into different investment newsletters and reading people’s reviews. I ended up clicking a link at some point that someone posted and it directed me to a video by Kyle Dennis that funneled you into signing up for his webinar which was supposedly starting soon. Here’s a screenshot you can see of it below…

As you can see I circled the times that the webinar supposedly starts in labeled it as fake. This is because the webinar is not life as you are led to believe it is. It is pre-recorded and this countdown timer is just a little tactic used to make people think it’s urgent so that they sign up as fast as possible.

I have reviewed tons of scams that have used tactics like this so it was an immediate red flag for me and made me a bit suspicious.

The next thing that really made me suspicious was that the numbers Kyle was giving didn’t match up. In the screenshot above me that he claims to have turned “$15,253 into $3,729,076” yet in the webinar he claims to have turned $15,000 into $2.8 million. So which is it? This is a very big difference. I guess it is possible that they just didn’t update the numbers on the prerecorded webinar yet, but seriously… They need to get it together. It’s not that hard to do.

THEN… Of course all the comments are fake as can be that are going on beneath the webinar, as it took a screenshot of below. How do I know? Well because the comments didn’t even make any sense. They were comments being displayed before Kyle even talked about what they were talking about in the webinar. They were somehow reading Kyle’s mind in talking about things before they were presented… Strange right?

But anyway… I just wanted to go over a bit about how I first came across this Biotech Breakouts thing. I was initially thinking that it was definitely a scam but it seems to be legitimate. Sure the sales pitch is a little over the top and there are some deceptive marketing tactics used that are commonly used for scams, but the product itself is actually legitimate.

What Is Biotech Breakouts Exactly?

Biotech Breakouts is a swing trading newsletter written by Kyle Dennis. Basically what he does is analyze the market, specifically the biotech sector, and alerts to subscribers of what is going on and what trades to make. So the point of signing up for a newsletter like this would be to make money in the stock market, which of course means you would need money to invest before hand.

Kyle Dennis is very young but claims to be “more qualified to teach you how to trade biotech stocks than anyone else”. Now whether or not the statement is actually true isn’t something that I know, but he does seem to be very good at what he does.

He graduated from UCLA with a BS in Biology, having been a pre-med student. At first he started trading as a hobby and realized he could make it a full time job, which he did.

In the newsletter, as I said, he specifically focuses on biotech stocks. His method of trading is swing trading and what he does is matches catalysts up with bullish charts through technical analysis. So basically first he looks for upcoming news that could cause a stock to skyrocket and then make sure that the price chart looks okay based on technical analysis.

In the webinar he gives the example of using biopharmcatalyst.com. This site provides a free information on upcoming company events and data releases that could drive the stock way up. So what Kyle will do is buy into a stock before such information is released when the price is low, ride the profit up and sells out before the news actually hits. This is what some people call “buying the hype and selling the news”.

What Other People Are Saying

The majority of reviews that I have found on the internet have been ranting and raving about how great this is, which honestly is kind of strange. For example: on TrustPilot, which is an independent review site where anyone can go and post reviews of various products, it has 0ver 200 reviews with a 5/5 star rating…

Over 200 ratings and a perfect 5/5 stars? Are you serious? This is very strange to me. I review investment products/services like this quite often, for example The Bauman Letter & Cash for Patriots, and to see this number of reviews with pretty much every one talking about how great it is seems strange.

There is definitely no shortage of great reviews and just to give you some examples here are a few from screenshots I took…

I don’t know. Is it just me or do some of these reviews seem to be fake? Some seem to be legitimate but there are many that didn’t really come across as real to me. This is just my opinion though.

There are some negative reviews but you really have to sift through all the positive ones to find them. They are overwhelmingly drowned out by reviews talking about how amazing this all is.

One of the reviews I came across here is suspicious that Kyle Dennis might be capitalizing on Pump and Dumps and using his subscriber base to make it all possible. Basically what this means is that Kyle would invest in stocks, recommend them to his subscribers such as you so that they buy in and drive the price up, then he would dump his shares. Now this is one heck of a claim which there is no proof of but its worth thinking about.

Some other complaints I’ve read about include Kyle Dennis being deceptive in his trading abilities and making claims about how great he is that are not true as well as his services just being massively overpriced…

What Do I Make of All of This? What Is My Opinion?

I know this may seem a bit confusing. First I was making it seem like Biotech Breakouts is a scam, then I was saying how it wasn’t and explaining how it works, yet then when going over user reviews I was giving the impression that it was not legitimate yet again. So what the heck should you make of all this?

Well I definitely think that Biotech Breakouts is legitimate. Kyle knows what he is doing and provides good information. I just think this is a great example of a good product that uses overly “salesy” marketing tactics. Much of the webinar is misleading and many of the reviews out there appear to be fake in my opinion, yet the product seems to be legitimate.

Of course we can all form our own opinions of this but this is what I think based on the research I have done. If you are a subscriber of Biotech Breakouts and have been so for a while I would love to hear your opinion of it and if you wouldn’t mind leaving a comment down below that would be great.

True Wealth Newsletter, Scam or Good Investment Newsletter? – [Quick Review]

Is the True Wealth Newsletter any good or is this just another over-hyped product that isn’t going to live up to the claims it makes? I’ve been seeing a lot of questions recently about whether or not this newsletter is a scam so that is what I will be addressing here today. There are a lot of crap investment newsletters out there so this is a good question to asked and it needs to be done.

In this review I’ll be going over the basics of the newsletter, what you get, what other people are saying about it, whether or not its worth the price and more.

What Is True Wealth Newsletter?

Well… as you can tell and you probably already know, True Wealth is a newsletter. It is a newsletter that provides investment advice on a monthly basis.

The man in charge, the editor is a guy named Steve Sjaggerud. He is a former stock broker with a pretty amazing history. Supposedly he became the VP of an international mutual fund that was trading at over $50 mil when he was only 23 years old. And Brett Eversole is the lead analyst for the letter. From what I can find on both of these guys they seem to be good at what they do… not really anything in the way of complaints that I have found.

But anyways… back to the newsletter. According to Stansberry Research, the firm behind it, subscribers should have at least $1,000 that they are able to invest beforehand. And I would probably say that you are going to want more than this. $1,000 isn’t much if anything.

The method that Steve and Brett focus on in this newsletter is to “Buy assets of great value when no one else wants them… and sell them when others will pay any price.” They look for the overlooked investment opportunities that have the potential to make some serious gains. These are the ones that no one is talking about or that people are talking negative about, yet have the ability to get you some decent profits.

Overall I would say that this newsletter is definitely no scam. I have reviewed plenty of other investment newsletters including ones like True Momentum, Profits Unlimited, Real Wealth Strategist, etc, and most don’t have as good of reputations as this one. True Wealth seems to provide very sound investment advice.

Come And Get The Bait! – How They Lure You In

Although I don’t consider True Wealth a scam at all, they could tone down their marketing campaigns a bit. Since you are reading my review here wondering if True Wealth is a scam, there is a good chance you came across some rather ridiculous sales pitch for this newsletter that made you hesitant to buy into it.

Over-the-top ad hype and misleading claims are all too common when it comes to investment newsletter. I have found this to be the case with the majority of them out there. But the bottom line still remains: the newsletter itself is still good. They may lure people in with somewhat deceptive tactics but it still is not a scam.

What You Get

Monthly Issues – This newsletter subscription lasts for 12 months and includes 12 monthly issues. These issues will give you an in-depth look at different investment recommendations as well as market analysis. You will also be able to see their model portfolio and look at how good the recommended investments really have been.

The Stansberry Digest – This is like an added bonus I guess you could call it. I don’t know if this always comes with the subscription but when I was just looking into it showed that this is a included. What is it? This is a daily newsletter about what they think is going on in the market. It won’t provide as in depth information and is more basic, but its good to keep up with current events and just to give you a general sense of what is going on.

What Others Are Saying

I have reviewed many bad investment newsletters before that have been more focused on sucking the money out of subscribers’ pockets rather than helping them make good investments. This is not one of these newsletters.

The review for this newsletter are overwhelmingly positive. There are many long-time subscribers and I even read a couple reviews talking about how good investment advice it provided back during the “great recession” of 2008. I welcome you to search for complaints of this newsletter on your own, which is something I would actually something I would suggest doing if you’re planning on buying in, but you probably won’t find much.

Conclusion on True Wealth – Is It Worth The Price Tag?

The cost of this newsletter is $199 for a yearly subscription. This is a decent sized price tag but I guess you get what you pay for. Many of the $50-$100 subscription newsletter products that I have reviewed aren’t very good and it’s no wonder.

Is it worth the price? Well I guess the answer would partially depend on how much you have to begin investing in the first place. If you are going to be able to invest a good bit of money in the recommended stocks but this newsletter makes then you will be able to recoup your $199 investment rather fast, but if you don’t have much money to start with it will take longer. That said, either way it seems you should be able to recoup your money. The investment advice provided seems to be very sound. Of course there is always some risk involved with investing like this and not every recommendation that True Wealth provides is going to be a winner, but this just comes with the territory.

Don’t Just Follow Their Every Investment!

If you are going to buy into this newsletter it’s always good advice to do your own research. Don’t just blindly follow the investment picks that the newsletter makes. Take those pics and then look into them on your own. If you like what you see then follow the advice but if you don’t then there is no harm in avoiding the opportunity. Ultimately it is still your choice what you investments you make. The newsletter can be used more as a guideline to helping you make the right choices.

These newsletter will dig up investment opportunities that you may not even be thinking about or maybe have never even heard of and then you can further look into them. This is at least what I would do and what most people would say you should do.

Is Stansberry Research a Scam? – What You Should Know

Is Stansberry Research a company that you should be avoiding? Will you just get scammed if you buy into one of their publications? Or is this a place you can trust and get good quality investment advice from?

The question of whether or not Stansberry Research is a scam is something I have been seeing a lot of lately, which is the point of me writing this review. There are quite a bit of complaints about this company but does it really warrant such an accusation? In this review I’ll go over what Stansberry Research is and break everything down for you so that you can get a better understanding of whats going on here.

What Is Stansberry Research?

Stansberry Research is a company created by Porter Stansberry that provides investment advice to individuals. It is particularly focused on helping individuals with small to medium amounts of money invest in safe and moderate risk assets.

Basically what this company consists of is analysts and editors that work together to provide infomation on different investment opportunities. They have free products/services as well as paid products/services that do.

Free Products Include:

The Crux
DailyWealth
Health & Wealth Bulletin
Investor Hour Podcast

Paid Products Include:

Stansberry’s Investment Advisory
True Wealth
Retirement Millionaire
Extreme Value
Stansberry Gold and Silver Investor
Commodity Supercycles

In addition to these they also have different model portfolio services you can use that takes investment information from the various products that are published here and compiles it into one.

A Look at Their BBB Rating

If you look at the rating of Stansberry Research on the BBB you will see that they have an A+ rating. This sounds great doesn’t it? However… I have no idea how they come up with these ratings because it just makes no sense to me. As I am writing this 85% of the customer reviews left are negative and there are 117 total complaints…. so how the heck does this equate to an A+ rating?…

This is why I usually don’t pay much attention to the BBB’s rating. It doesn’t seem to fit the big picture much. However, I do like looking at ratings on the BBB’s website from customers. This is where you find lots of good complaints so you can really get a look into the company and see the bad sides.

Complaints

Most of the complaints I have found on Stansberry Research come from people being overcharged. Many people claim to be charged for things they didn’t even purchase, but as I will go over later this is not the case… instead what is going on here is they are the victims of shady marketing techniques. But anyway…. here are a few reviews I took screenshots of that you can see…

Where Are All These Complaints Coming From?

It seems that most of the complaints are coming from people buying “The American Jubilee” which is a book that plays into the fears of many Americans out there. But I’m not here to review this book or give my opinion on it… I’m just here to talk about whats going on with it and why so many people are calling it a scam.

You see, the book itself is not a scam. Is it true? Well that is up to the reader to determine but whether it is or not doesn’t make it a scam. The reason why people are calling The American Jubilee a scam is because of the ridiculous marketing tactics used when selling this book. What they do is get people to buy the book and then attach another charge that many people are unaware of.

In addition to receiving in the book you will also receive:

5 research reports
Stansberry’s Investment Advisory

Its the Investment Advisory that really screws people. The 5 research reports are free but the Stansberry’s Investment Advisory is not. What happens when you purchase the book is you automatically get enrolled in a trial subscription for the Investment Advisory and when the trial runs out you get charged automatically for a whole year.

My Personal Opinion on Stansberry Research

What you have to realize is that Stansberry Research has many different products and just because you might not like one of them doesn’t mean that all of them are bad.

There is no doubt that what the way they are marketing The American Jubilee book is wrong. It is deceptive and it really screws a lot of people over. But what about the investment newsletters that have nothing to do with this book at all? Most of the products/services that Stansberry Research have nothing to do with anything in this book nor do they have to do with the Author, which is Mr Porter himself.

Take the True Wealth newsletter for example: This newsletter is edited by Steve Sjaggerud and it seems to be very well put together and provides good advice. I actually wrote a separate review of this newsletter and there really isn’t anything bad to say about it. Steve provides sound investment advice in his monthly issues and people seem to be happy with it all, which is why you will see some subscribers that have been with it for years.

So on one hand you have a product that seems to receive more complaints than positive reviews and on the other hand you have a product that doesn’t really get any negative reviews.

Conclusion on Stansberry Research

I do not consider Stansberry Research to be a scam at all. Does this company use “shady” marketing tactics to promote products? Yes they do… without a doubt. Not only do they sucker people into buying the subscription service as I mentioned above with The American Jubilee book, but they also make use of somewhat misleading promotional tactics to lure people into subscribing to different newsletters. This is something that has become more and more common place in the investment advisory world. I have reviewed many of Agora Financial‘s investment newsletter products, such as True Momentum & Real Wealth Strategist, and they do the same darn thing, only they do it to and even higher extent.

Much of the problems that this company seems to be creating for itself seem to be stemming from Porter Stansberry himself. He is the one behind much of the rather deceptive marketing practices that people really hate.

But anyway… that’s all I have for you here in this review. I hope I provided some helpful information and I hope my point of view makes sense to you. If you have any questions, comments, or if you want to leave a review of this company yourself you can leave it below in the comment sections…

The Bauman Letter Review – Legit or Scam?

The Bauman Letter is in investment newsletter that is written by Ted Bauman. The reason I decided to review this newsletter is because I am very hesitant to trust financial newsletters anymore. I have looked into a lot of them out there and it seems that many of them lure people in with deceptive advertising tactics, which is actually how I came across this newsletter in the first place.

I first found out about The Bauman Letter after coming across this opportunity called “Infinite Nest Egg”, which Ted Bauman claimed was some incredible system that could give you over 900% higher returns on your investments than ordinary investing. It was an absolutely ridiculous sales pitch and misleading without a doubt. The point of the entire sales pitch was to get people to buy into The Bauman Letter. But anyway… You can read my review of this Infinite Nest Egg here if you wish to but the focus of this review is going to be on the actual newsletter itself.

The Bauman Letter Review

The Bauman Letter is a subscription newsletter service that provides investment advice. The cost of the newsletter runs between $47 and $99 per year based on which package you choose, which can be either digital or print, or both. The newsletter is nothing fancy. It simply provides investment advice so that you can hopefully get better and safer returns on your investment, and with less fees.

On Ted’s website he claims that the newsletter has over 100,000 subscribers. Now whether this is true or not is unknown to me but I will take him at his word because I see no reason why it wouldn’t be true. However I do find it a bit strange that with this many subscribers I can’t find more member reviews on it. As I was doing research before I started writing this review I was looking for as many other member reviews as I can possibly find. I want to know what other people think of it and whether or not they have profited from the advice Ted has given, but unfortunately there isn’t much in the way of information on the Internet, which is without a doubt strange.

But anyway, moving on…

The Bauman Letter is particularly focused on wealth preservation and security, which is why Ted focuses on low risk investments, specifically on ETF’s. If you don’t already know, which you probably do, an ETF is an “exchange traded fund”. ETF’s can hold various assets such as stocks, bonds, commodities and are traded on the stock exchanges just like normal stocks are. They are designed with arbitrage methods able to be used which help keep the price where it should be, at the real asset value. This can be good because it helps keep the price more stable so you don’t experience as many ridiculous price movements up and down. Another good thing about ETF’s is that they can save you on taxes, which of course everyone hates. You still have to pay taxes on them but you only have to pay capital gains tax on the final sale of them.

What The Newsletter Includes

With this newsletter you get 12 monthly issues which will provide you with advice on what to do with your investments. If there is any buying or selling that Ted thinks should be made you will know. You also give you information on why he is recommending specific investments, where he is coming from with his advice and so on. You are just left in the dark with this.

You will also receive alerts when necessary. So if an ETF you are invested in has some drastic price movements that were not expected and you need to sell you will be alerted of this.

One of the goals that Ted has with this newsletter is to keep things simple. According to what he says you will never be advised to have more than five investments at once. This way your portfolio isn’t too hard to manage.

Is This Ted Guy Qualified to Give Advice?

Ted Bauman does appear to be qualified to give the advice he gives. And he does so not just in this newsletter. He also is the editor of the newsletters Plan B Club and Alpha Stock Alert.

He became an editor at Banyan Hill in 2013 but before this yet quite an interesting professional career. After leaving the University of Cape Town with postgraduate degrees in economics and history, he served as a Director of International Housing Programs at Habitat for Humanity International. After that he worked as a consultant for clients as large as the United Nations. Then after that he was a fund manager for low-cost housing projects and finally in 2008 he returned to the United States where he worked as a director of international programs in Atlanta.

Conclusion on The Bauman Letter – Is It Worth It?

I was really hoping to be able to find more information on everything, but unfortunately I fell short. There just isn’t much information out there about this newsletter and I really don’t want to buy into it and invest tons of money in the advised ETF’s just to find out if it even works or not.

If you were thinking about buying into this newsletter my best advice would be to do a bit more research on it and really think about it. I definitely don’t think it’s a scam or anything like that but whether or not it’s as good as some of the ridiculous sales pitches I’ve heard for it claim it to be is a different story. Just know that if you did find out about this newsletter through some absurd sales pitch then you have probably been misled a bit. It’s not some crazy system that you are guaranteed gains with. It’s a simple investment newsletter that provides advice for you to take action on.

Anyway, I’m sorry that it can be more helpful in this review. I hope you found at least a little bit helpful. If you have any comments or questions please leave them below so I can get back to you on them 🙂

Is Cash for Patriots a Scam – Wow This Is Misleading…

The Cash for Patriots program presented by Zach Sheidt is something that he claims anyone regardless of their age, income level, social status, etc. can make money with. He basically leads you to believe that you will be able to sign up for some list and get checks in the mail like clockwork. But is this really all true or is Cash for Patriots a scam program that you should avoid altogether?

While it’s not a scam but it is extremely misleading and in this short review I will be going over why. Can you make money with this? Sure. But are you going to be signing up for some list in receiving checks in the mail like he leads you to believe? Absolutely not.

Cash for Patriots Review

I’m guessing you are suspicious of this program after watching the ridiculous video presentation put on by Zach Scheidt, as I was. The video presentation went on and on for probably around 45 minutes or so and really didn’t tell you much of anything, reminding very much of the “Freedom Checks” sales pitch that you may have heard of.

Basically what you were led to believe by Zach during the presentation was that this is a program that takes advantage of president Trump’s new tax code. Throughout probably around half or maybe even over half of the presentation Zach just talks about all the money that people were making getting these checks in the mail.

He talks about a “Bob S” that has made $6010…

And then there was “Suzanne V who collected $20,758. Then there was “Jessica P” who had supposedly made $51,000 so far…

And the list goes on and on. To be honest it was getting pretty darn annoying hearing him talk about all these people making all this money and providing absolutely no proof of any of it. All he was doing is stating people’s names and claiming that they made certain amounts of money with this but there is no way for me to dig in any deeper and actually find out if these claims are true or not.

Are they true? This is something you can form your own opinion about but in my opinion is a good chance they are not. Why do I say this? Well because I have reviewed plenty of misleading sales pitches by Agora Financial products before, which is the company behind this product, and the sales pitches are often filled with lies and misleading information.

What This Program Supposedly Does

Zach tells you that this program he is going to be letting you get into today will show you exactly how do collect these checks. All you have to do is follow a few simple instructions to enroll in the program and add your name to some list.

Unlike Social Security, there are no requirements to collect these checks. There is no certain age you have to be, no certain income level you have to have, etc. And unlike Social Security these checks do not come from the government. They come from the private sector.

But this is all confusing… What the heck is this program really?

What This Program Really is…. VERY MISLEADING

It took a fair bit of research and digging around trying to find out what this program really is. And I’ll tell you what it is not, which is some program where you just add your name to the list and start collecting checks.

When Zach started talking about money being “stranded” overseas this is when you get your first clue of what the program really is about.

What he is talking about is how US corporations hold tons of money overseas which is in a sense stranded and that Pres. Trump’s new tax code will be able to bring it back to the US where it will be distributed to patriots like yourself.

The reason money is stranded overseas by these corporations is because of how the taxes work. They don’t want to bring the money back into the US because they know that they will have to give an arm and a leg in taxes if they do.

What Zach is saying is that when these companies do bring home their fortunes under Trump’s new tax code they will distribute much of the money in the form of dividends and if you are a shareholder in the company you will capitalize on this.

So there is no real program called Cash for Patriots or any sort of program at all. This Cash for Patriots sales pitch really is just for in information product that will give you advice on what investments you can make to hopefully be able to get these dividends from certain companies when they bring money back to the US.

HOWEVER…

In order to get this free Cash for Patriots info product you must first subscribe for a free trial of Zach’s newsletter called Lifetime Income Report. This newsletter is a publication by Agora Financial which is well known for financial newsletters such as this.

If you sign up you will get a free year subscription but after that year you will have to pay between $49 and $89 depending on what subscription package you decide to go with.

The main part of this newsletter are the 12 monthly issues that will be given out to members every month. In the monthly issues Zach and his team will provide investment advice and look into different opportunities that they are planning in getting involved with. Basically what it will do is provide advice telling you what they think you should invest in. You will also get email updates on the market and any urgent alerts if there is a great buy-in opportunity or if you need to sell right away for some reason.

Conclusion on Cash for Patriots – Scam?

I would not call Cash for Patriots a scam. I would just say it’s a very misleading sales pitch. But yes you can make money with it, just know that is not the magic fairytale program that it claims to be. Basically this all seems to be a sales pitch to lure people in to subscribing to the Lifetime Income Report newsletter. After all Zach has to make money somehow right? The end of the newsletter is the only thing he is actually selling here and can make money with.

As far as Lifetime Income Report goes this is in no way a scam. It’s just Zach and his team providing decent investment advice. You can read more about this newsletter in a review I read about it here if you wish to.

Anyway… That’s all I have to write for you here today. I hope you found this review insightful and helpful. Please leave any questions or comments you may have below and I’ll get back to you when I can 🙂

Is Infinite Nest Egg a Scam System or Can You Really Make 900% Higher Gains? – [Review]

The Infinite Nest Egg investment system is claimed to be able to give you over 900% higher returns than ordinary investing and is also said to be 13 times safer than a buy and hold strategy. There are some bold claims made but are they really true? Is this the real deal or is Infinite Nest Egg a scam that is just going to be a waste of your time?

I’m guessing that you’re suspicious of the claims made or else you probably wouldn’t be reading my review of it right now. You probably watched the video presentation for this “system” and think that it sounds a little bit too good to be true. The truth is that it is a little bit too good to be true and that the marketing pitch for the product they are trying to get you to buy is a bit over-the-top and misleading. I still wouldn’t call this a scam. I would just say that is overly “salesy” and there is a bit of deception involved.

Infinite Nest Egg Review

Ted Bauman is the man behind this Infinite Nest Egg system. He promotes the system as a way to sidestep nearly all “financial escapement”, avoiding fees and playing safer investments.

He claims that him and his team did calculations for the past 10 years of market data and found that if you had used his system you could have made over 900% more than in ordinary investing, which would have provided you with over double the gains of Berkshire Hathaway…

He claims that their historical analysis shows that it is pretty much “recession proof” and that over the past 10 years it would have never lost you any money, even through the bad financial times. This is a point he brings up probably like 10 times throughout the presentation and honestly it was getting kind of annoying to me.

And of course the system only requires 10 minutes of your time each month and is so easy that a 12-year-old can do it, according to Ted.

So all in all three main points that Ted really tries to be into your head throughout the video presentation is that the Infinite Nest Egg system can grow your investments nine times faster than ordinary investments, is crash proof, and is simple to use…

But What Exactly Is This System?

Ted keeps referring to this Infinite Nest Egg as a “system” and at one point refers to as “a tool that eliminates the erosion of wealth”. I had to sit through probably around 30 ridiculous minutes of the video presentation before even getting a clue about what this really is.

So what is it? Well supposedly it’s a system that Ted and his team developed that “uses thousands of roles and strict data points” to analyze the market, identifying big shifts in the market and alerting the team so that they can make necessary trades. And apparently it specifically tells them what stocks to pull out of and where to reinvest the money.

Now is any of this true?

I am very hesitant to believe everything that is told in the sales pitch, mainly because I am familiar with Banyan Hill, which is the company behind this product and I know how misleading some of their products sales pitches can be. I just reviewed another investment opportunity called “Kennedy Accounts” the other day that they were behind which was very misleading.

And it certainly doesn’t help call my suspicions when I find that there are blatant lies within the video presentation. Remember near the end where Ted showed some pictures of people who are supposedly members of the system? Yeah will these are all likely completely fake.

The one guy named “Brian H” was ranting and raving about how great the system is but I performed a reverse Google image search for the his picture that was displayed in the video and found that it is everywhere online. Why is this? Well because it’s more than likely a stock photo that anyone can purchase online and use as they wish. This is not “Brian H” and all of the testimonials are likely made up for the purpose of promoting this system…

What You Are Buying Into… The Real Product

Basically as far as I see it Infinite Nest Egg is just a luring sales pitch to get you to buy into the real product being offered here, which is called The Bauman Letter. If you ended up making it through the whole video presentation in click to the button below the video then you what I found this out yourself.

So what is The Bauman Letter? In a nutshell it is an investment newsletter created by Ted Bauman and published by Banyan Hill, which is similar to Agora Financial. Ted has been involved in the financial world for years and has quite a bit of experience, much of which came from a position he once had as a financial consultant. Nowadays he works for Banyan Hill as a editor of several different newsletters. His particular area of expertise is in low risk investments, which this whole Infinite Nest Egg thing is focused on.

So what you are buying into here is a monthly newsletter that gives you investment advice. This newsletter specifically focuses on ETF’s so that you can save some money on fees. It tells you what to buy and what to sell and at what times.

Is there really the system or tool that Ted talked about in the Infinite Nest Egg sales pitch that identifies these good opportunities for him and his team? Who knows. All I know is that the newsletter provides fairly simple and straightforward investment advice. There is no proof that this system or tool exists but there is also no proof that it doesn’t.

What You Get

The cost of this newsletter is between $47 and $99 per year, depending on which package you buy.

At the core of the newsletter are the monthly issues. You will be provided with a monthly issue that will tell you what to do for that month what to buy and what to sell if any. If you blindly follow the advice given then it will only take you 10 minutes or so every month like Ted tells you in the sales pitch.

In addition to the monthly issues that you will get you will also be alerted of anything that requires immediate action, such as if a stock shoots up or down in price unexpectedly.

Conclusion.. Is This a Scam?

Well the Infinite Nest Egg sales pitch is without a doubt very “scammy” in some ways, but the product itself being sold here (The Bauman Letter) is not a scam. The Bauman Letter is a legitimate investment newsletter and I don’t see any real reason to think that it wouldn’t provide good advice. I wasn’t able to really find much in the way of reviews from members of this newsletter but things seem to check out for the most part. One member review that I did find talked about it in a positive light stating that it provides “nuggets” of information.

I just don’t understand why the video presentation has to be so darn misleading. If there is one reason why I wouldn’t buy into this newsletter the sales pitch would be it. It’s like they are playing me for a fool trying to get me to fall for the crap that was presented in the video. Why can’t they just present this product in a truthful and straightforward manner? Who know. This makes me wonder if any of the “900%” higher gains and “recession proof” claims are true at all.

But anyways… I hope you enjoyed this review and found it at least a little bit insightful. Please leave any comments or questions you have below and I will get back to you as soon as I can if need be 🙂
