I am suspicious to strategies, but 28% yearly ROI for 17 years is certainly something that can make me think different. To achieve that GetFolio is using a mathematic strategy for stock trading. The strategy is supposed to avoid big drawdowns and let you sleep well at night.
The type of service is close to trading signals – you receive stocks picks with alerts when to buy and sell. Unlike most signals however, GetFolio is not for day traders. Their strategy is for long term growth, therefore you can’t expect very high ROI of course.
Their FAQ page advices that the minimum capital required to use the service is $20,000. That might not be good for everyone, but for moderate risk investment there is no way to go lower (Do you really care to make 28% per year on $1,000?).
Unlike most investment services GetFolio has quite a bold guarantee:
“We guarantee that your ROI, will outperform the market for the period of your subscription, or we will refund your subscription fee.”
That’s sweet of course, but don’t get too attached to it. If the market goes down 20% and you lose 19%, they still have outperformed it.
The subscription fee for the service is $599 annually. That’s not cheap, but is cheaper than most forex signals, so I wouldn’t mind paying it if I can invest more than $20k in the markets they trade.
GetFolio yields a bit lower than the typical investment opportunity reviewed at this blog. But I believe your portfolio needs to consist of at least 30%-40% such more secure assets. So if you can afford it, consider looking deeper into it.
Sound’s not bad for People with enough money for diversication. I have the Option-Advisor from Bernie Schaeffer. Cost 48 Euro per month.
What you think about Option-Strategie.com?
I can’t open it, Cornelius, are you sure the URL is correct?
No, it’s option-strategies.com. Sorry
Thanks, it works now. Monthly average 73.06? That’s impressive, have you tried them?
No, 999$ is a word. But it’s only one time. The high Performance make me carefully. I am not sure. Sound’s really good.
I have only Bernie Schaeffer’s OA. When i win with them i give the other one a chance.
I don’t find any information on Getfolio.com in financial publications. Is it a true reliable investment product and easy to use ? It seems to be based in Panama.
Also, what do you think of Condoroptions.com and Options-Intelligence.com ?
Looking forward to your answer.
Hi Jerome, there are no guarantees, but Getfolio’s service exists since 2001 (verified by the Web archive), so it must be genuine (if it was not perform, people would scream around).
I have no impressions of the 2 URLs you gave, but I will try to research and review them.
Hello,
Have you tried options-intelligence.com ? The ROI is just amazing and their archives back to 1999. Waiting for your reply.
I subscribed to GetFolio for a year back in 2001. I pretty much broke even. During that year his picks were replete with beaten down stocks that did not recover within 12 months, and yet he now claims his strategy resulted in a 26% gain for that year. I honestly don’t believe his claims of 28% average returns. Without seeing any solid evidence of such returns I see no reason to accept them as truth.
My understanding is that his returns are based on being able to take every pick (which might result in buying hundreds of stocks), but I doubt he is being honest about the results even if every pick were taken.
Instead of subscribing for a 2nd year I decided to write my own software program that works in a similar manner to his strategy. I’ve yet to succeed in refining the program in such as way that it would never have a down year.
Think about it…do you really believe that this person is averageing 28% returns and never had a down year in the market since 1990.
If it sounds too good to be true, it most likely IS too good to be true!
