I prefer an honest discussion of stock fundamentals in a somewhat orderly format, without the personal attacks and aggressiveness. Funny you should say that, because you have just described the environment on Anthony's site quite well. Part of the reason for this, is that unlike in a public forum like SI, everyone on the site has the same agenda, to make calls that make money for those who follow them. You won't find any low-life brokers or moonlighting CEOs posing as small investors on Anthony's site. Everybody knows who everybody else is, or can find out readily enough. And Anthony is usually there to lend a guiding hand in case people start getting on the wrong track. And, given that he basically has the power of life and death with respect to his board, any conflicts tend to be resolved in very short order. Troublemakers, and there have been very few, don't last long. Expensive? Yeah. Worth it? Yeah.

Fair enough.. but I still believe that most encounters with Anthony get heated simply because alot of money is involved. I remember WAVX was one of those.. PRFM... he was right/they were wrong.. My first few encounters with Anthony had me on the losing side of his trades and I would yell conspiracy! cheater! manipulator! As for following someone blindly.. If I were new to investing I would put up the money, and follow everything he has to say until I started to learn enough to make trades on my own.. I follow only about 1/2 of Anthonys picks only because I have a day job and cant go insane.. I do alot of my own trades but ironically my solo trading has become MUCH more profitable as well because Im actually learning things I never before understood.. I learn from Anthony. My goal is to learn what he sees in each and every trade.. How he manages his money.. Im not just there to sit back and let him do my work for me, but its nice when I have a busy week and can still do 2-3 trades without second guessing- this is true.. no.. im in this game to make money. I love the stock market and have devoted my ENTIRE personal life to it. You will see me here on Friday nights, Saturdays.. 6am, 1 am.. etc etc.. and its STILL not enough.. Good luck.. take care

I am honestly very happy that you have made such an amount of money. Apparently the option to follow someone versus doing your own research has not disappeared from your radar screen. Only now you must pay for it over at his website. You weren't addressing me but you could have been. Why do you think that following someone prevents you from doing your own due diligence. I've also been a member of Anthony's website for the past month or so and am making a lot of money but more importantly learning a lot about trading and how to identify scam companies. At the end of the day Anthony is far better at picking and timing stocks than I will ever be. Following him has been profitable. But it doesn't mean I've stopped reading my K's and Q's. And I doubt anybody on the site follows his picks blindly. It's just that when we don't, we often learn a valuable investing lesson -- that the reasons he made a trade are usually better than the reasons we didn't. The quality of analysis and research on Anthony's site are unparalleled in my opinion. And it's NOT just Anthony, there are many talented folks there. The $500 or $600 a month it costs pales in comparison with the return even for an investor of modest means like me. This isn't an advertisement, it's just my opinion and I think many if not site members would concur. Fund
