Not a legitimate publication

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - They say Investor Place journalists are paid to write negative stock articles, selling their soul.
  • - Articles are poorly written and lack insight.

Impartiality is at the heart of all good journalism. Every real journalist knows that.

At Investor Place they are actually paid to write negative articles about certain stocks, and in doing so are selling their soul and losing what little credibility they might think they have. The articles themselves are poorly written and lack any form of insight or intelligence.

The writers (for want of a better word) just come off as uneducated and amateurish, and surely they cannot see this as their future when they have no idea at all about how to write an informed, and knowledgeable piece. Nobody takes them seriously and my sincere advice would be to either close their doors and take up knitting, or at least try to behave in a professional manner and no longer be at the beck and call of anyone looking for a hit job.

Cons:
  • Terrible reporting

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: Ignore this publication.

Poor performance!!

2 2 worBought Power Portfolio 1 yr ago based upon their marketing, "so called past performance, and marketing". Luckily only dove into a couple of their recommendations, not all 10 as suggested.

I reviewed the portfolio today and out of 10 suggestions, only 1 of their picks is profitable showing an 8% gain. I have cancelled my subscription, when asked why......my response was why would I invest in another yr of poor performing recommendations? Bottom line is LESSON LEARNED!

I took a chance on a $2k product vs a couple other subscriptions I have that cost me literally a couple hundred $$ per yr and are far superior and have consistently performed much better. My recommendation, STAY AWAY FROM INVESTOR PLACE!!

User's recommendation: 2 words........"DO NOT!!!"

Resolved: Lots of inconsistencies in recommendations from advisors

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user Oct 25, 2021

This is a review only. I am not requesting anything..

Original review Oct 25, 2021

I have subscribed to InvestorPlace over a year. I thought the recommendations were great.

Matt made it very clear investments were to be made with long term thinking. In Oct 2021, I see that their cannabis portfolio has been 90% sold after holding for 2 years and at a loss. They are now marketing computer software that tells you when to buy and when to sell. They bought XP in 2/20.

The stock went to over $50 twice in 2021, they didn't sell. It is now back down to $34,

and they bought at $35.20. Why didn't their software say to sell? I made a good profit on it twice.

When I see things like this I am no longer interested in the long, "I" did this and that webinars, interviews they present by 3 top advisors. After the subscription ends, that will be it for me.

Pros:
  • An occational good read now with matt gone
  • Were a better company when matt mccall was there
Cons:
  • Inconsistent information
  • Misleading stories

User's recommendation: Interesting to watch, but don't take recommendations too seriously

Refused refund

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I got a subscription to the Power Portfolio Reloaded 2021 and I ask a refund due to the horrible performance of the Portfolio which make me loose a lot of money.

At such end, I ask for a refund of the subscription as a gesture of apologies to have lied during the presentation of such Portfolio and for the bad work they did in advising 12 failing stocks.

Loss:
$5000
Cons:
  • Reputable firm would refund a product when the person leaves

Preferred solution: Full refund

Will Not Cancel Subscription After Several Requests

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Original review updated Oct 20, 2021

I do not even remember signing up for the "subscription" but Investorplace keeps charging my credit card $49.00. I call their Customer Service and the agent is always very nice and assures me that they will cancel AND credit my card.

But when the next statement arrives, the $49.00 appears again. The credit card provider is of no help (Legendary Pine with Comenity Bank).

I also tried emailing the email given on the Investorplace website for contact to have documentation of my request. Every time my email is returned as "undeliverable." So the email provided on their website is useless.

Loss:
$49
Cons:
  • Will not refund
  • But it keeps coming
  • Will not cancel will not refund

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Be very careful. Do not do any business with Investorplace.

Unethical Practices

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Earlier this year I purchased a "life-long" membership for Matt McCalls Inner Circle. Mr.McCall is no longer with InvestorPlace.

I now have services for Luke Lango. I did not purchase his services.

I was extremely happy with Matt McCall. I was refused a refund for my "lifelong" membership of Matt's Inner Circle that lasted 4 months!

Loss:
$5863
Cons:
  • Manipulation
  • Failure to deliver promised recommendations
  • Shady

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Avoid Investor Place - dishonest, unethical company

Very upset that Matt is no longer with Investor Place. I liked his “Boots on the Ground” approach.

Not happy at all. I paid for HIS expertise.

I paid $5500 for Matt McCall's Lifetime membership (with Investor's Place), and a couple months later I stopped receiving his emails on the various portfolios included with membership. When I called customer service, they said "we've sent you emails." NO, not received and not in spam.

I called a few weeks later to express my concern about not hearing from Matt McCall. I asked, "Is he no longer with Investor's Place?" They said, no, but all the portfolios still exist and are reported on, just go to the website. WTF? And then maybe two months after that exchange, I started hearing from Luke Lango (emails from him on the various portfolios.) I DID NOT PAY $5500.00 FOR SOME DUDE I DON'T EVEN KNOW OR TRUST, AS I DID MATT MCCALL.

So Matt, if you're reading this, what the "you know what" happened? I hope you're embarrassed and ashamed, as many of us TRUSTED you to buy a Lifetime membership - and you then bolt with NO EXPLANATION? WOW. That's as good as stealing our money.

And the thing is, I really liked your passion and knowledge - and that's what sold me to cough up $5500. What a waste of my hard-earned dollars.

Luke Lango is a joke - REFUND PLEASE. Ha, like that's not going to happen.

Company Has No Integrity

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I signed up for 2 newsletters. Both were with Matt McCall.

I liked Early Stage Investor and Investment Opportunities. I liked his Early Stage Investor enough that I bought a lifetime subscription. Then Matt leaves 6 months later. When I called them several times to explain that I had subscribed to Matt McCall.

The only thing they would offer was a credit for other letters.

No refund. Pathetic

Loss:
$3100
Pros:
  • Were a better company when matt mccall was there
Cons:
  • Reputable firm would refund a product when the person leaves

Refund

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

In light of your refusal to refund the $1,799 you charged for your material...which I attempted repeatedly to cancel in light of the appalling nature of your business tactics and the HUNDREDS of complaint letters on file with numerous consumer advocate groups, I have filed protests with the Better Business Bureau, and 2 others to date. In addition to publishing the reviews, they all recommend contacting the company...providing at least one of the reviews, which I will try to send despite my limited computer skills.

Beyond that, however, I raise the question with you: HOW, DO YOU JUSTIFY peddling investments by a man ..Louis Navellier, WHO WAS PROSECUTED SUCCESSFULLY BY THE SEC, AND CONVICTED IN JUNE, 2020, OF "DEFRAUDING THEIR ADVISORY CLIENTS AND PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS THROUGH THE USE OF MARKETING MATERIALS THAT INCLUDED FALSE AND MISLEADING STATEMENTS..." CONSEQUENTLY $30 million IN FINES WERE LEVIED AGAINST LAVELLIER & ASSOCIATES.

And his prior bad acts go back even further! Is the keen edge of conscience so blunted in you people that you have lost all sense of shame???

Loss:
$1700
Cons:
  • Shady

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: stay far away from this company with its dice-y and unsavory principals!

I signed up for two Investor place newsletters a big mistake

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Both talked about how wonderful they were and Mr. Frye was my first one and I knew I could cancel but I could not believe that the stuff they sent me was like a zero and I sent numerous requests to cancel and thought it was done.

Then I signed up with Matt Maccall and all he did was brag but I thought sounds good. The newsletters did not arrive and what I did get was worthless.

Loss:
$160

Preferred solution: Price reduction

InvestorPlace is a scam,

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user Apr 26, 2021

As of this today, 4/26/21, InvestorPlace has agreed to a full refund.

Original review Apr 22, 2021
I watched InvestorPlace's presentation offering Power Profile Reloaded, price $1,799. Immediately I saw a lower price on their site for the same material, $1,499.

I started to get a bad feeling, especially when the material did not show up on my computer, I called again and was told it would show. IT DID NOT! At this point I started doing on-line research and found over 200 complaints against INVESTORPLACE, for everything from manipulating their stock portfolio to fraud. Then I began looking into LOUIS NAVILLER and I REALLY got scared.

Navellier was investigated by the SEC beginning in 2017 and a final judgment by the court in 2020 fined him and his firm $30 million for fraud, misleading statements and defrauding customers. I got back on the phone the same evening and tried to void any involvement with InvestorPlace. They gave me a different phone number to call the next day which I did and was told I could not get a refund because I had already "subscribed." I pointed out I was NOT a subscriber since I had never received their material. They still refused a refund.

So now I have filed complaints with several consumer advocate groups, and will fight the charge when.

it shows up on my credit card. But most of all, I am appalled that a convicted felon heads up InvestorPlace and presents himself as a trustworthy stock advisor.
Loss:
$1400
Cons:
  • Will not refund

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Read the complaint letters on the Better Business Bureau AND on TrustPilot

Misleading sales promotion & refund refusal

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I bought hyping a report on the best cyrpto/altcoins to buy now along with a sample portfolio, max prices to buy, and a subscription for 12 months of the newest and best recommendations as they arise. In fact, the report was out of date and all of its recommendations were already trading at way more than the "buy up to" price, making them useless.

Then, when Matt McCall's new recommendations came out a month later, they weren't part of the $1,800 package I paid for. Instead, they were part of a separate $99 subscription to a different service.

In short: tons of hype for an $1,800 product that provides absolutely nothing while it could have been only $99 to get the service that actually has the recommendations.

When I demanded a refund because of the false advertising and failure to deliver as promised, they refused repeatedly with no justification other than it was "against company policy."

Loss:
$1800
Pros:
  • Research ideas on many companies
Cons:
  • Constant attempts to upsell you to additional costly products
  • Wont refund
  • Failure to deliver promised recommendations

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Do NOT use this service
