"The 1-star reviews here are annoying…"

The 1-star reviews here are annoying me, because it's full of hyperbole and inflammatory rhetoric and people who didn't read the terms and conditions. Yes, they send too many sales pitches in email, but the research allowed me to do something I've never been able to achieve before Stansberry. Long-term retirement savings is simple, but short-term investing for targeted goals is nearly impossible. With Ten Stock Trader, I was able to juice my returns safely with the goal of purchasing a house. I went with a 95% short-term bonds 5% options strategy thanks to Greg Diamond, Dan Ferris and Stansberry. I've been using it for 2 years. One year return today as of this moment is 17.7% and YTD is 9.9%. The best part is that I'm excited about a bear market, because we can just use puts. So, I don't just do whatever they say, I get great ideas and an understanding of where the market is going.

"I subscribed around 4 years…Watch out!"

I subscribed around 4 years ago and cancelled last year and received an email stating that a refund would be coming, it never has! Despite cancelling, my credit card has been charged again on 1.8.2024. They do not respond to emails. They don't answer the phone. I would steer well clear. Dodgy in my opinion.

Reply: 13.8.2024: amazing that you respond on here! I emailed you on 12.9.2023 on the email that you advise using

"I got so much junk mail after signing…"

I got so much junk mail after signing up for Stansberry that I had to quit using the email address. Two years after the fact I was getting dozens of unsolicited emails per day. The more you unsubscribe, the more different emails you get. They claim they are not selling the address but it is the only financial letter I ever signed up for on that address. To top it off, the advice was not good.

"I just canceled my subscription after…"

I just canceled my subscription after about 3 years. Service is complete garbage 🗑️. Tons and tons of third party emails!!!!!! My subscription service renewed for $199.00 in April of 2024 I was told you can’t get a refund if you’re more than 30 days past your renewal date. How is that possible? It’s unearned revenue that I paid for in advance… Time for a mass class action lawsuit even on a small scale that should produce big results

"Make sure you watch when you will be billed next!"

I wondered what made my credit card bill much bigger than usual. I found a 211 USD charge from them. I logged in and checked my billing report
May 30, 2023 The Ferris Report $49.00
on the invoice "One-Time The Ferris Report"
That fit my memory.
But also
May 30, 2024 The Ferris Report $210.94
which on invoice says "Recurring The Ferris Report"
If I go into "my subscriptions" I can see it is labelled "recurring" and next time in May 2025.
This is over 4 times the original years price.
I'm not interested in that, and don't remember signing up for a recurring thing.

In the Manage dropdown "preview autorenew" "preview cancel" "Billing information".
What does "preview" mean here?
I tried the "preview cancel" and there it looks like I can cancel and get this 210 USD back. If that pans out, I will consider their customer service to be honorable, (Even if you have to "jump through some hoops" to find this) I will give at least 2 stars.

I'm not a active stock trader, so I'm not going to grade their info. I must concur with some others that many things coming from Stansberry tend to be thin scary stuff that is to get you to buy more info packages.

One rather strange thing under payment methods, where you can add credit cards:

"In the near future, we will allow you to manage your payment methods more fully (e.g., delete)." Seems like something that should be there from the beginning.
Update 2025-3-7
I was checking to see if I did get a refund after "jumping through hoops". I did get a mail
25 juni 2024 saying I had cancelled and would "receive any applicable refund". I think I got the whole 1 year payment back. So I will bump up to 2 stars.

"They know their stuff"

They advised me to buy Nvidia 2 years ago, my investment is up 3000%. Need I say more.

"Biggest SCAM out there"

Biggest SCAM out there. You are going to be kidnapped by one of their subscriptions. Besides that, their biggest revenue source is selling your information to third parties. I acquired a report for $49 that had nothing of value in it, and after that I delete around 200 emails a day from their "partners". Staying away is my best advice.
Look at Stansberry reply below. It's laughable, "we want our own family to read and follow".
Not even the hundreds of emails you spamming every day is for free. Again, stay away from this StansberryResearch.com.

"Information Selling is Stansberry Research main business. "

After buying a service from Stansberry Research, I began receiving 200+ spam emails every day due to Stansberry Research selling my information to 3rd parties. Avoid Stansberry Research at all costs, their main business is to sell your information.

"This is the biggest ripoff company you…"

This is the biggest ripoff company you will ever deal with...they talk a big game and don't deliver at all. Pricing is ridiculously high. Content and what you get...extremely low. Just a lot of hot air. IF YOU have already signed up with them...there are yearly maintenance fees and those are NON REFUNDABLE...so be careful there as well. Just a horrible service with guys sitting back and getting rich on people paying their yearly subscriptions and fees. Absolute joke of a company.

"Cancelled Lifetime Membership - Dishonest Company!"

I recently had an extremely negative experience with Stansberry Research.

Many years ago, I subscribed to a newsletter called Gold Stock Analyst (GSA), edited by John Doody, which gave detailed analysis and insights on the gold and silver industry. It was a premier publication and was followed by individual as well as institutional investors. When a stock was added to the top 10 (gold) or top 5 (silver) list, it was a market moving event. Because of this, the publication cost thousands of dollars per year.

In January of 2018, Gold Stock Analyst offered a special lifetime subscription offer to its clients. It was thousands of dollars, but I felt it was worthwhile to make the investment so I’d have the industry insights for many decades to come. Prior to committing to the subscription, I went back and forth with a representative at GSA in order to get assurances that the newsletter would continue on for many years. I received assurances (in writing) that the publication would continue for several more decades under John Doody as well as a successor if he were to retire. With that assurance, I made the investment to become a lifetime member.

In July of 2019, the GSA newsletter was sold to Stansberry Research. John Doody ended up retiring a few years later with Garret Goggin taking over the editorial duties. Things were continuing just fine until May of 2024 when Stansberry Research sent out a note saying the GSA newsletter would be discontinued. No refund was offered and the only alternative was to their existing True Wealth Systems newsletter. But after looking at the newsletter, it was clear it would not offer any of the analysis, in depth coverage, and expertise which I had with GSA.

I sent an email on May 8th to their two main email addresses asking for more information about how they would offer similar coverage of the gold & silver industry, a refund, or at least another newsletter that was on par with GSA. After 9 days, I received no response so I called them.

I explained the situation to their representative and after confirming my information and subscription, I asked for a refund. She replied “that’s not going to happen”. I threatened to take legal and she said she would circle back with her leadership team and call me back. She never did. So after yet another follow up email she replied that they would not offer a refund and “our hands are tied” because my payment was paid to GSA prior to Stansberry buying them out.

When a company acquires another company, you’re purchasing that company plus all the obligations and agreements that former company engaged in. That’s why due diligence is so important. Stansberry’s “tough luck” approach has left me with a bitter taste in my mouth and no alternative but to sue them in court (which I will do).

I would stay far away from this dishonest company.
