The proof is in the pudding on this one

The proof is in the pudding on this one…the results have been excellent so far. I’m wary of how well this strategy (selling naked puts on stocks you would like to own anyway) will do in different market conditions, but since each write-up emphasizes that you’re only selling these puts ON STOCKS YOU WOULDN’T MIND OWNING ANYWAY, it appears likely that it will work well in all kinds of markets.

I love it

I subscribed to the Put Strategy Report about 5 weeks ago and I love it. The newsletter is very straightforward and easy to understand. The 2 recommendations (both put sells) I have followed so far are both up over 50% and I may simply buy them back rather than wait until the end of the year for them to expire worthless. These 2 trades have more than paid for my subscription.

I should point out the fact that I am not a novice at trading options and that I have not automatically followed all of

net gain overall in excess of the subscription fee

I’ve been subscribing for about 8-9 months. I’ve lost money on 2 trades, made money on all the rest, with a net gain overall in excess of the subscription fee for the newsletter. It’s also educated me on how to make options trades on other stocks, which I never would have done without the newsletter.

I like this newsletter.

I like this newsletter. Almost all the recommendations have worked out well, and it has opened my eyes to a new investment strategy. Using the concepts, I’ve written several options successfully as well. Sure its a pricey newsletter, but the advice and recommendations are not run-of-the-mill either.
I’m marking it down one star for consistency since a couple issues have deviated from the primary strategy.

backed out after 30 days for a refund

I, too, took the bait on the teaser and then backed out after 30 days for a refund. The only recommendation I tried was to BUY a put (nearly everything else was to sell puts), and I stopped out for a 50% loss. Porter’s instinct was right about Macerich - his timing was off, and once I became pretty convinced the market was going to keep the stock price high - too many people were shorting it, I bailed. Boy was I wrong. Had I held on to the puts, (I bought the March $15 puts wheras he recommended

never hear a word from him for about 2 months

I dutifully paid the $625 on Dec 11,2008, bot the Put for Macerich as he advised–never hear a word from him for about 2 months. I wrote an email to his customer service asking why I had not received any communication–got no reply. After another 5 days, I wrote to him thru his “feedback@stansberry research.com” website thru the S & A. Digest. Here is what I wrote: After a wait of about 5 days without a reply from your Customer Service Dept, I am attempting to reach you directly thru your Digest a

received two reports and then nothing since

I subscribed to his “Put Strategy” report and received two reports and then nothing since. The teaser that I responded to was a $1,000 rebate check to be mailed on May 11. Not bothering to email to find out why (assuming that he did not get enough subscribers and just cancelled it). My credit card was not charged for the service reinforcing my thoughts that he was not getting the amount of subscribers he wanted. Truthfully I am so sick and tired of all the hypsters and teasers that I just want t

This service is primarily selling options.

This service is primarily selling options.
I was aware of this service but never subscribed because I didnt want to sell naked options.

They sucked me in on this one with an email teaser talking about a company that was going to declare bankruptcy soon and they were purchasing put options. I signed up and the company they rec’ed, (Macerich), still has not gone bankrupt. I still own the puts but they are at a loss so far.
They claimed in their promo literature they couldnt get enough subscribers
