Suli 2 Report post Posted January 24, 2017 No No, they are not good at all. Just stay away. In my opinion they belong to the black sheep in this business. I run into a subscription, it is not worth a penny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kim 8,102 Report post Posted January 24, 2017 Schaeffers Research is an interesting animal. According to Hulbert Financial Digest who tracked newsletters performance till it closed last last year, the Option Advisor's aggressive portfolio shows an annualized loss of 14.6 percent since inception (as of 2005). By that measure, if you had started with $10,000 at the end of 1982 and followed the newsletter's picks for the last 23 years, you'd have $300 left. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/stupid-investment-of-the-week-20054113010 They are a well oiled marketing machine, and in my opinion, this is the only reason they succeed to stay in business. Bernie Schaeffer has built a solid reputation as an options expert, so most people are not aware how bad their track record is. Maybe Schaeffer himself is not actively trading anymore, but the fact remains. You can see it in their reviews (you can find more reviews here and here), and numbers don't lie. The fact that they don't publish any track record speaks for itself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
