I was quite stunned by the volume of really helpful and educational material these guys have put up. It must have taken years of hard work to this. I spent about two months going through as much a I could and there was still boatloads of information. I finally took the plunge about two weeks ago and was provided with even more revealing information but this time it was directed more towards sentiment and investment

I am quite happy so far and I feel like I am getting both an education and sound financial guidance.

This site is what contrarian investing is all about. They don't just take a position against the Majority because the crowd is bullish. They wait for the crowd to completely embrace the investment before bailing out. Point and case, their call on the bitcoin top was perfect. While I did not get out at the exact top I got out at 17,5K which in my books is excellent.

With the profits, i made from trading GBTC I can pay for several years of the subscription. I recently booked 300% gains in the NKE calls I purchased based on their recommendation to go long the stock.

Another great thing is that when they make a bad call, thankfully which is not too often, they own up to it.

I have yet to find a financial site that impressed me in terms of depth and substance but that stance changed when I stumbled on this site. I was looking for strategic investing and by mistake type tactical investing which lead me to them.

I love the way they blend Mass Psychology with Technical analysis. It's stunning to say the least. I decided to look at some of their old articles posted on other sites and found out that most of their calls were spot on. This link provides a lot of data that the novice investor will find to be very useful

Being the cautious person I am, I looked for a special that would allow me to test drive their service. I could not find any, so I wrote in asking if there was one. Imagine my surprise when they responded by saying that they did not have one but could create one just for me. When I clicked on the link they created the cost was over 60% of the normal rates.

I had never seen such service before. I thought to myself, they had to be confident that their service was good to offer such a huge discount on 30-day test trial of their service.

Fast forward, 9 months later. I am a very happy camper and I locked enough in gains to pay for my subscription for at least another 10 years.

In short, the Site as well as the service is both unique and superb

I have been playing the markets for over 20 years and hands down this is one of the best newsletter I have found. Their overall strategy is simple and they play by set of strict rules which is essential as the markets are extremely volatile nowadays.
Their service is not cheap, nor is it expensive. Its fairly priced and i have found out that the cheap services end up costing you a lot more as they always try to up sell you, there is no upwelling here.
More importantly, the methodology used is sound and what really impresses me is their disciplined money management approach. So far, I am in the black and could have done better if I had followed all their plays. However, I took a cautious approach as I was not sure if their recommendations would do well. I plan on taking more aggressive approach going forward now that I have seen the system in action

As a kid I always loved Psychology but I never knew it could be applied to the markets. I was pleasantly surprised to find out many of the principles I was famillar with could be used quite well in the stock market and with impressive results. I happen to find technica analysis interesting but could never quite grasp all the concept as as market technicians seem to go out of their way to make the concept difficult for novice traders. Tactical Investor really combines the concepts of mass psychology and technical analysis well. I would say this is both a newsletter and an educational service as it helps one get a better graps on the subject of MP and TA.

I joined this service in March of 2017, and have done quite well. I was impressed with the way they combined mass psychology and technical analysis to predict market direction. They were one of the few newsletters that stated the markets would not crash in 2017 and that the Dow was destined to soar higher. I followed their advice of using all pullbacks to add to my positions and did exceptionally well playing the Dow and ES futures.

I have been with them for over two years now and for once I can say that the money spent with has been money spent well. Their customer service continues to amaze me. It is very rare to find this type of customer service in the Financial newsletter arena. They actually care and go out of their way to ensure they have answered all your questions. In fact, I was surprised that they even followed up to make sure all was well.

As for the stock picks, I am a happy camper. Not all of the stock picks work out, but their strict rules of entry and exit ensure that you end up with far more winners than losers. They have a very disciplined methodology when it comes to buying and selling and this limits the downside and provides one with great upside potential.

For example, they rarely buy a stock at the current price. Instead, they wait for the stock to pullback to key levels that are determined by their risk to reward models. Another interesting factor is that use very long-term charts to identify new plays and their focus is on finding strong plays that are trading in the extremely oversold ranges. One recent example is EDUC and VIPS, they tracked EDUC for a year before issuing entry points and in less than five months I booked over 100% in gains. The same technique was applied to VIPS and I locked in over 70%. I am only talking about 2018.

For new subscribers, I would suggest you go over their welcome package slowly. Then read the relevant sections they recommend and spend 1-2 months paper trading depending on your experience. I paper traded for 3 months.

I really love the way they use mass psychology and market sentiment to determine market trends.

I have subscribed to several dozen newsletter websites over the years. The recurring theme is almost always the same. Over promise and under deliver. I was pleasantly surprised with the Tactical Investor. They seem to take a measured approach to investing and avoid the flamboyant route of over promising and under delivering. They have a wonderful way of combining psychology and technical analysis and this information is delivered in a manner that I found highly palatable and easy to assimilate.

The site is also filled with a plethora of articles by Sol Palha, very interesting sayings, numerous free resources. To sum up, after being with them for five months so far, I am a pretty happy camper

I signed up over a year ago and during that that time I asked numerous questions and in retrospect some appeared to be repeats. However, much to my surprise every question I asked was answered and shockingly the staff followed up to find out if my question were fully addressed. To state I surprised would be putting it mildly. I have never seen such service from a financial newsletter. This feature alone is well worth the monthly fee they charge especially for a novice trader.

For example I had a lot of questions on their selection methodology; they divide their money into 3 lots and only one lot is deployed at a time. I could not understand this process fully at the beginning but they stuck with me until i understood it fully. They walked me to through 3 examples just to make sure I understood everything.

I also wanted more insights into mass psychology and they responded immediately with the appropriate links. These are just two examples out of many.

But its not just the customer service that is outstanding the service itself is exceptional. It took me a bit of time to get used to the new way of looking at the markets but these guys understand market psychology very well. On just two plays I locked in gains of over 100% in less than 5 months. One of the stocks was VIPS

Overall, this is a great service especially for the novice player as they teach how to look at the markets from a different angle. One of the key lessons they teach you is to never let fear do the talking and boy what a great lesson this has proven to be.

I will continue my subscription for the foreseeable future
