If I could give them a zero I would If I could give them a zero I would. Porter Stansberry offers free research and after sitting through a 1.5 hr video about biotech and the key stocks to buy that are net net positive meaning their actual assets are higher than the value of all of their stock...soo waiting for the info and get sent to another link.....a mere $2,500 to get the names of the stocks...sorry, not biting. Stay away folks...scam.

The founder, Porter Stansberry, was convicted of securities fraud The founder, Porter Stansberry, was convicted of securities fraud. Just Google “Porter Stansberry fraud”. The service now promotes any number of advisory services for a fee. Now they are simply an umbrella website that draws internet traffic to a single site and then sells subscriptions for a variety of people who use them for publishing purposes. Any service that would be associated with this scammer’s name has to be of questionable integrity.

Most of the reviews here are silly Most of these reviews are silly. I have been a trader/investor for almost fifty years and have had two different securities licenses. I have also been a Stansberry subscriber for at least ten years. They do send out too many emails about stuff I am not interested in, and their videos are sales pitches (So don't watch them!) They also have many analysts, some of whom are just o.k., but Efrig and Sjuggerud are worth the subscription easily. If you do not read their terms of service, or forget to cancel, or cannot help yourself from reading/watching stuff you don't want, that is not their problem. It is not a scam in the slightest as everything they do is on the up-and-up, even if slightly annoying and aggressive marketing. That is not crooked or dishonest!

They think you're an idiot This company treats the average person like an idiot. Usually you get invited or see an "urgent" ad for to a 3 hour "panel" where they have their analysts discussing the current market status and economy but it is actually a sales pitch to sell you one of their products....which is fine. They will try to lure you in with a "limited one time" offer with a lifetime subscription to their product. You pay a multi thousand dollar "upfront" fee and you get lifetime access to their service. They will lure you in by cherry picking examples of 500+% gains and neglect to mention that 90% of their picks are flops and will lose you money. Once they have your money, you will find that the portfolio solution you just signed for is completely mismanaged, neglected and underperforms by a mile. They will attempt to sell you additional services and try to extract as much money from you as possible. Screw these guys

A bit of a different perspective vs the… A bit of a different perspective vs the other posts here. Like any company in business. Stansberry Research is doing this to make money, that does not mean it is "scam". It means they are a business, and any business is in business to make money by selling stuff. There is useful content, but as a reader you need to be able to sift through the sales pitches and recognize what is real advice and what is garbage. Have been a subscriber for 5+ years. It was better content and less fluff when Porter was there prior to the sale of the company. Just like buying a car, the reader, purchaser of the content needs to be sophisticated enough to know where there are nuggets of knowledge and what is a sales pitch (sometimes in the form or fear). If you want "free" advice, turn on Cramer from Mad Money, and you can do the same thing that most novice unexperienced stock market investors do. If you are not smart enough to read the content with an ability to think, invest for yourself. You probably should not be investing in the stock market.
