Martin Weiss has been right on

I have all my monthly Safe Money issues plus the special alerts back to Oct 2003. When Travis posted the idea of writing these reviews, I for fun went back and wrote a summary of each issue - too long to post here now. But Martin Weiss has been right on - early noting the coming collapse of housing - mortgages, banks - recommending gold and some funds. Maybe a bit too early in adding inverse funds as shorting is always very volatile. His business for years has been investigating banks and insurance companies and his ratings scores are more valid than Moody or S&P and the others. He has testified to congress repeatedly about the overall weakness of the financial system. Now they have a web site also and a free newsletter - Money and Markets - but Safe Money is quite reasonable - I think about 50 a year.
I would be happy to post or send my summary of monthly issues of Safe Money - For now I will note that the current -January 2009 - issue continues his theme - headline is “EPIC battle to prevent collapse” - He expects DOW to go to 5500. He writes’ Wall street melt down is inevitable” He recommends gold bullion, dollar inverse funds, T-bills, several reverse index funds.
I have not bought more than a few of his recommendations but have made money on all that I bought.

wish I'd seen it a few months earlier

I’ve only subscribed since October 2008 [wish I'd seen it a few months earlier!]. The advice is very sound,and the report really makes sense.Two caveats only - ETFs decay over time as the underlying indices rise and fall - especially the ultras.Also,they keep tring to sell you other,more expensive stuff.

recommendations are ultra-conservative

Although this newsletter’s recommendations are ultra-conservative, nevertheless they have been “right on the money”. The advice is sound for all who wish to protect capital. The work done on banks and insurance companies has been invaluable. I have not bought any of Weiss’ recommendations, but I believe him to be genuine in wishing to help people preserve their capital. Of course, other services are pushed, but that’s to be expected, isn’t it? They are in business, after all.

I have subscribed to Safe Money for 7 years and find it very easy to read, informative and accurate. At times I have felt Weiss was too alarmist, yet he has always been right. I feel that he is honest and really wants people to preserve their wealth and prosper.

His advice is sound

I have subscribed since 1995. His advice is sound, but sometimes he expounds on his father’s experience too extensively: but then again, it puts all his advice into perspective. He is not a trader, and his reccommendations are conservative. He has called this catastrophy over the past few years, using sound economic principles. I find both Dr. Weiss and his team a valuable souce for well thought out and knowledgeable guidance.

Safe Money’s primary concern is to keep your money safe.

Either Stan is a disgruntled past “Safe Money Report” employee or he might be employed by a financial institution that Safe Money revealed a financial weekness in or maybe he works for another newsletter. As the name of the news letter implies, Safe Money’s primary concern is to keep your money safe. Safe Money has done an admirable job of warning their subscribers about where they think the market and sectors of the market are heading. I have read the free and the subscription services of Safe

I look forward most to Safe Money.

I really took notice when Martin posted a serious warning back in 2007. Of the five letters I receive, I look forward most to Safe Money. His inverse ETF recommendations have helped stem the carnage by about 50%. I feel his conservative views, borne out by his father’s recollections from the 30’s Depression, are serving his clients well in this fiscal meltdown.

He is a permabear and given the last year he’s right. The nightmares he’s given me helped me pull out of the market in Oct so mission accomplished. His picks were bad during the boom years but pretty good now. Yes he bombards you with more expensive package deals incessently. I’ve subscriber for 10 years. He does show you how to preserve your money. I’m not complaining.

The following review is from www.stockgumshoe.com

Martin seems to be a permanent bear.

I agree with many of the other reviewers - Martin seems to be a permanent bear. I’ve been a subscriber for nearly 5 years and I don’t think I’ve ever seen him so excited that he’s finally hit a home run. He did a great job in September telling subscribers to completely get out of the market. But I also fear he will be late telling folks to get back in.

I am down on two of the inverse index ETFs he recommended. I didn’t buy them right away, but with the market now lower than when I did buy them,

trying the Contrarian Portfolio

I have subscribed to “Safe Money” for almost two years. The subscribers that label him a “Permabear” may be right because everything I have read in the service has been bearish. That having been said, if I had gone to cash (Treasuries) a year ago as he advised, I would be way ahead of the game. Like Bob S., I too am trying the Contrarian Portfolio. It is fully refundable within 90 days. I’m only using one tenth the value of the reccomendations and will use the rest of my portfolio to pursue much

I think that he has been waiting to duplicate his father’s success

I have subscribed for years. I always understood that he was ahead of the curve about predicting the fall of housing etc. I think that he has been waiting to duplicate his father’s success during the depression. He can’t see the trees because he is only interested in the forest.
That said he has made some good picks along the way. For the price there is a lot of good information in his newsletter.

But Weiss’s bailiwick is safety

Subscriber since September 08. Thanks to all who have shared an opinion. I read his most recent book, and drew the conclusion that he positions for a deflationary depression. If this happens, it will happen in spite of every politicians’ every effort to inflate the economy, because debtors benefit from inflation, not deflation-and the voting populace in America is rife with debtors! So, Weiss probably misses the mark on this one.
But Weiss’s bailiwick is safety. OK, fair enough. But I have to ag

Results, I think, are mildly positive.

I’m on my 3rd or 4th year of subscription. I’ve followed most but not all recos, however with only a portion of my investments. Results, I think, are mildly positive. As indicated in these previous reviews, “premature” is the best description of Weiss advice. And I’m beginning to think that also applies to the new “Contrarian” letter.

I would have to say that Weiss is a Permabear,

I subscribed to Safe Money around 2000. I later subscribed to Larry Edelson’s “Real Wealth” around 2005. Both reports were about $89 or $99/yr at that time. I have since monitored their recommendations because they send you almost daily email once you have been a subscriber.

I would have to say that Weiss is a Permabear, or as the saying goes; “a broken clock is right twice a day”. Throughout the largest bull market of this century, Weiss was warning that a crash could happen any day, and alway

I have lost faith in Weiss and his group.

I noticed a big change in Weiss’ free newsletter a few months ago.
I found out soon after that he was bought or joined with the Street.com. I believe one of Agora’s publications. They deal in EXTREMELY lengthy stories and partial info to get you to join their paying publications.
I have noticed several newsletters now doing same thing..I click them off.

you are supposed to make it back gambling on currencies!

I was almost ready to subscribe when he started to tout a way to safeguard one’s retirement a couple of month ago. I watched the video and he was promoting his new currency service with Crock “there is always a bull market in currencies”. I really dropped when I saw that; you lost 50% of your assets in the stock market and you are supposed to make it back gambling on currencies!
That was it.

Weiss is a permabear, so he’s right recently.

Weiss is a permabear, so he’s right recently. His recommendation to go heavily into a Treasury $ mkt at <1% interest was fed by his extreme fearmongering… and he has a bit of a conflict of interest given that he owns/runs a Treasury $ mkt with something like triple the industry management fee.
His insurance company and bank ratings (available thru thestreet,com) are excellent and much tougher than normal ratings.

Most of his picks are terrible.

Most of his picks are terrible. Right now, he wants everyone to put most of their money - 75% into short term treasury bills. Sure, that’s safe for not losing, but it’s not safe if you miss the opportunity to ride the initial bull charge up.

I like some of his commentary and he has made some correct calls over the last few years. I like his calls about the economy and certain sectors, but his investment picks aren’t too good.

He was early to tell people to get out of the market and he’ll be la

His chief value to me was a counterbalance to market cheerleaders

I have been following Weiss since around 2002 and have subscribed to his Safe Money Report. His chief value to me was a counterbalance to market cheerleaders and creating enough cognitive dissonance for me to try to learn what it was all about. I don’t know if I would have made money or lost it, had I been in the market these past 7 years. I have managed to hold on to my principle and am roughly even after 7 years. I have not followed all his recommendations and made money with some of his picks

I agree with all the critical remarks

I agree with all the critical remarks made about Martin Weiss. Martin alarmed us that the DOW would reach 5,000, and told us to sell everything. To add further injury, he advised us to buy inverse ETFs and leverage inverse ETFs. I made a huge mistake taking his advice that I regret for life. I bought several leverage inverse ETFs positions. While the market was rallying +35%, Martin kept preaching the imminent collapse. All the while, in fear, I kept holding the decaying inverse positions. He...

In bull markets he tends to be wrong,

Yes, I think it’s true, as Joan says, that Martin Weiss is a perma-bear. In bull markets he tends to be wrong, and in bear markets he’s right. If he has a newsletter archive that goes back 25 years or so, you can check this out. If I remember correctly, he said that his father made a bundle investing borrowed money in the Great Depression, which seems to have galvanized him into bear-ishness for his entire current incarnation.

Safe Money is too safe

I subscribed to Stock Options Trader and promptly lost 25K. I used to subscribe to Safe Money and around 2002 the permabear called the mortgage crisis 7 years in advance. Safe Money is too safe. Edelson was responsible for all the above mentioned losses including the ones with Joan up above, he was completely out of control and way off the mark in those days. I did however respect their prompt response when I asked for the receipt for Stock Options Trader and got it. After I received it, I joine

This would be one of the best scams I have ever seen

If 50000 people buy an investment package for $1500 per subscriber to follow a $1000000 investment strategy then you get what you deserve. Do the maths folks. Who do you think has won on this deal?

I had some respect for this crowd until a month ago. This would be one of the best scams I have ever seen. The man has no conscience, despite all his rhetoric and hand wringing about caring about people. I am just amazed at the gullibility of ordinary folk.

Martin Weiss is an idiot.

Terrible. Martin Weiss is an idiot. Subscribed for 10 years throughout the 90s.
Missed out on the entire raging Bull market as Weiss always had us short or buying puts on the markets.

Broken clock is right twice a day, wrong the other 99.99%.

Weiss is that broken clock.

Sorry, but he has zero intuition on market direction… zero.

I took a bath before I realized what was happening.

I have subscribed to the Weiss “Safe Money” report for a while. Following his instructions I bought 50 shares of DOG, PSQ, and SEF. His May issue still said buy these. He never said to sell, and I took a bath before I realized what was happening.
Should haveknown better because he states that “editors and research staff do not hold positions in companies recommended…”
If he is not willing to put his money where his mouth is…I shouldn’t have either.
