there is a trick to using the service

I’ve subscribed for a number of years and there is a trick to using the service. His stock choices are OK but you must determine, on your own, your stock/cash position. He will tell you if he thinks the market is weak or certain sectors, he avoided financials, are at risk. So take money off the table, he won’t tell you to but he will give you a heads-up. He does a good job of explaining market influences and trends. He repeatedly said that Citigroup would sell-off assets or die. Now he didn’t...

gave 2X and more of that back

Yup! I subscribe to Blue Chip Growth. Last year I made out like a bandit, this year I gave 2X and more of that back. I have subcribed to many newsletters over the years, the absolute worst being Toby Smith’s Changewave. I subscribe to High Yield Investing and Utility Forecaster, neither of which I have really used. Out of the two I have bought only one stock in 2-3 years. It made me money the past two years. Now it’s tanked. It was a good stock for trading but like so many now the dividend has..

I will renew.

I have been a subscriber for about a year. In June 2008 I fired my money manager who lost me tons of money. I subscribed to bluechipgrowth. What I do is build 3 watchlists, Conservative, Moderate and Risk on my platform. Then I sort the stocks by points lost or gained. I buy the reddest one on the list, sometimes I wait a few days. I never buy on a big green day and always buy on a big red day. I would say 80% of the time his picks go up by following this method. I have made 50k since...

excellent in a bull market.

The Navellier Blue Chip newsletter is excellent in a bull market. But it is hell in a bear market. Since it picks momentum stocks, when the market crashes 30&, they crash 50 or 60%. If you subscribe to this newsletter, you need an ability to see your stock crash 80% and still not lose your confidence in the market.

use it for managing an IRA

I’ve subscribed over a year and use it for managing an IRA. Primary focus is earnings; earnings growth, earnings surprises, increased margins, dividends etc. Navalier believes if you own the best stocks they will beat the market going up, and drop less than the market going down. In 2008 that strategy was marginally sucessful. He does weed out stocks based on deteriorating fundamentals, not market performance so he tends to miss getting out at the top. He does not attempt to time his trades...

for the money this is a good newsletter

First, I will say for the money this is a good newsletter. I joined in 2002 when I rolled over my multiple 401k’s. By following the newsletter my portfolio increased by a bit over 125% until 2008, and then it crashed like most everyone else. My issue with this newsletter is that there is no discussion on taking your money out of the market, it is always very upbeat and positive. Many times stocks were held way longer than they should have been and we rarely sold anywhere near the top...

The following review is from www.stockgumshoe.com

He never advises to sell

Navellier newsletters as a group reccommend to many stocks to buy and usually after they have already moved to higher prices. He never advises to sell, the stock just disappears from the next issue. Mostly a buy’em and hold’em no matter what the market is doing.letter based on his belief that they are the best stocks to own according to his analysts research.
Constantly trying to sign you up for all four newsletters. I guess he believes that if one is good four would be better for you.

The last promise was as I recall for 50% in less than 6 months. It lost about 12%.

I joined twice with the money back option if it did not work as well as promised. I got my money back both times. The last promise was as I recall for 50% in less than 6 months. It lost about 12%.

Seems the stocks are basically the hot stocks that everyone has already bought. He did nail RIMM while I was a subscriber but the others pulled the RIMM gain down

probably will not renew.

I have subscribed to Blue Chip Growth for about three years, probably will not renew. Recommended stocks that I purchased have been more losers than winners. I made money on only one of his picks, Southern Copper (PCU).

What I have found useful is Navellier’s “Portfolio Grader Pro” feature which enables subscribers to plug in the symbol of any stock, not just those he recommends, and get a detailed rating/analysis. This feature also enables you to save sample portfolios to which you can add...

it’s philosophy is to stay fully invested at all times

I have subscribed a couple of times over the last 5 years. My biggest problem with BCG is that it’s philosophy is to stay fully invested at all times, and has no hedging or downside protection. As a result, in bear markets like the current one, as well as the 2001 - 2003 bear market, you tend to get whacked. Although I side-stepped most of those losses, I still didn’t like the fact that he offers no downside protection or bear market strategy. Its just buy, buy, buy (dollar cost average)...

Problem with is service is it’s inability to select and advise for the client profit.

Understand this, all theses so called advisers do not advise for my success, but, for their success.

When an adviser is paid to select growth stocks, and supply data that delivers results, this should result in profit.

Problem with is service is it’s inability to select and advise for the client profit.

His propaganda showing his past performance is out dated, and uses dates at show more gains than the reality.

It is about time he stars to print the truth.

My advise to bail out of this serv

have had pretty poor results

I’ve been an on/off (mostly on) subscriber for years and have had pretty poor results. Like others have said, there’s not much attention given to capital preservation. I mostly use the Portfolio Grader and make my own picks. Overall, I think I would’ve been better served and better off if I had just bought real estate, instead. The two market crashes I’ve lived through have proven that. (guess I’m a slow learner)

when things went south in the market so did Louie’s picks

I have subscribed to many newsletters. Today I will write about Navallier’s Bluechip Growth newsletter. I had a 2 year subscription and let it lapse about 4 months ago. Quite frankly, when things in the market were looking good the recommendations performed admirably. But when things went south in the market so did Louie’s picks. You said he picks stocks that doubles or triples, then recommends it and man is that the truth. In going back over my portfolio of his recommendations and analyzing the

not been very impressed

I subscribed to BCG several months ago, and have not been very impressed with Navellier’s picks. To be fair, however, the markets haven’t been kind to anyone in the industry over the past +12 months. So maybe he’ll have better success in the future. I won’t know, however, because I will not be renewing my subscription. I did get a few ideas from BCG, but got nothing that I made any money with.

I will say, though, that their customer service was pretty good for me. I had a double billing...

My riches disappeared along with my respect for Navallier.

I subscribed in the late 90’s and Louis Navallier made me rich — until the market tanked in 2001. He never said “sell”. He repeatedly said to “hold on. Our stocks have great earnings.” And so on.

My riches disappeared along with my respect for Navallier.

I didn’t save any of those newsletters so I can’t give you any solid examples of his picks, other than JDSU, which peaked at $153, and now sells for about a quarter a share (reverse split adjusted). He never said to sell it.

I was foolish to

very disappointing results

I have to agree with the bad reviews of LN Blue Chip. I subscribed in mid to late 07 for a year with very disappointing results. Reiterating what others have said, he goes for momentum stocks and does not hesitate recommending buying at highs( APD, for example ) The real danger is the potential downfall. I lost quite a bit and this is before the big drops in Sept/Oct of 08 … thankfully I stopped taking his advice before then.

only hours to act before the stock soars

I read some of Navilliers propaganda which sounded a bit more coherent. The price wasn’t bad and his site has a computerized model where you could look up stocks that he has graded. He puts out his monthly buy list that has stocks based on 3 levels of risk. As your readers point out he continuously has these palpitating stocks where you have only hours to act before the stock soars. I reasoned this was what I had signed up for so I should follow his advice; which I did, once. The stock was a...

Too rah rah about the market

Too rah rah about the market, about his picks, alls always right with the world and nothing can go wrong. I am surprised how Louis Navellier makes a recommendation and then simply moves on if it doesn’t work as if it never happened leaving poor stiffs like me holding the bag (I bought Potash & First Solar, both down by >50%). Even Cramer admits to a mistake once in a while but not here. Aren’t their results audited or can these investment newsletters simply advertise any number for marketing...

I was refunded my subscription money upon request.

I set up a make-believe $100000 account of the 5 top stocks, with $20,000 allocated to each.
The $100k portfolio is currently worth $35000.
I was refunded my subscription money upon request.
