Pushing people into investing in anything musk is nothing short of scam.

Their response is a meaningless rubberstamp, same they use for all reviews they deserve.

I could give you an ear full as to my displeasure with Brownstone Research !!! Their “Bleeding Edge”, is more of an Advertisement to sell products. On their “Permissionless” there’s no portfolio OR NOT any portfolio on the entire site, like they say there is, THERE ISN’T !!! After spending $4000.00, all customer service could come up with, WERE SORRY there’s no refund 😡 but can offer one of their affiliates for which there is only “ONE” it’s the something, just under a different name, how wonderful, NOT !!!!!!! My name is Dave if you’d like to hear more

Brownstone Research is the start point, not the end point

I too am surprised about all these poor reviews on Brownstone Research. I've been a subscriber for the past three years and find their research invaluable. The depth and breadth of information is better than I find most anywhere else.

My guess is that disappointed investors don't have sufficient understanding of how markets and economy work. I've had stocks that went down 90% after buying, but those stock picks didn't come from anyone other than me. I've had plenty of winners and I get it right far more often than wrong because I do the homework before investing -- research is just the starting point. When you read a stock pick from any advisor or researcher, take it as getting to first base with someone else doing all the intensive legwork. Then comes your part: research other analysis, read the past two quarter's results, dig into the risks, learn the company's marketplace position (as a business). Only then do I pull the trigger.

Stocks go up and down, bonds go up and down, funds go up and funds go down. Get used to it. If you don't know what you're doing, don't blame someone else for being wrong. And of course, even the great Warren Buffet gets it wrong sometimes. It's the nature of investing -- there are no guarantees.

Over three years, I wouldn't continue as a subscriber if it wasn't paying off. I am still here because Jeff Brown returned. My career is in IT, so I am usually already familiar with most names Brownstone researches, but too far removed from the insights and research Brownstone brings to the table; I find it invaluable and most often profitable. Brownstone's research saves me a lot of time by focusing on their top picks, but it's not my only point of reference before pulling the trigger.

I have zero financial interest in this company and don't know any of the people. I'm just another investor sharing a better approach for using this valuable research. If it wasn't working for me, I wouldn't be here.

If it walks like a Russian psyop and talks like a Russian psyop...

Getting unsolicited spam from this moron via at least half a dozen different domains with the same garbage fear porn disguised as market research that reads an awful lot like Russian propaganda targeting older conservatives to create fear and the usual chaos.

They come in via spoofed emails making them appear to come from a Salesforce data centers in Germany, AWS in Seattle, and more, which lends further credence to this not being some random guy "Jeff Brown" sending all of this crap out.

This is not a reputable company!!!

Please do not order any merchandise from this company! They have not responded to any emails or phone calls about an order, nor do I now expect them too. They go by many names: Brownstone, Modern Life Trend, and Top Power Savers as part of the confusion of who you are really dealing with.

Canceled my trial subscription.

I got a trial subscription online, looked at the product and then canceled at their phone number 888-493-3156 a few days later (today). Although I have not received the credit to my card yet, the customer rep was fine and this was an easy process. I expect to receive the refund.

If I could give zero stars I would

If I could give zero stars I would. This man gives BAD investment advice. I don't believe he even invests in what he recommends. He says it would be a conflict of interest. If you have no skin in the game, you have nothing to lose. I lost 80% of my portfolio value because of his bio-tech recommendations. I forgot to add that Editas bio-tech was up to $90 a share from about $30 when I bought it. He told people to hold it as it had further to go. I did and today it is worth around $3.00. What a joke!

Corked as $%^&

I have been trying to cancel this subscription to Brownstone Research for years now. I can't log in, says my password is incorrect. Clicking on the reset password link allows you to put your email in. I never get an email to reset my password. I have sent customer service an email at least 5 times a year and never get a response. I have decided to simply cancel my card to stop another annual recurrence charge.

THIS jerk spoke for more than an hour…

THIS jerk spoke for more than an hour promising I would be able to make a lot of money in 5 stocks. He repeated himself, wasted a lot of my time, and never told me about the 5 stocks. I hope he is rewarded for wasting a lot of people's time teasing with big promises. Shame on him for causing so much suffering.

1 star is in fact too generous

In mid 2019, Right before tesla went on a historic run, Jeff told his subscribers to sell tesla as it had hit stop loss. Soon after Tesla shot to the stars. "Learning" from that, a while later, he told his subscribers to remove all the stop losses. The idea worked great during the bull market when everyone is smart. In Feb 2021 our portfolio started going down to trash and he kept saying such and such advisors have raised price targets. Stocks like NNDM were up over 500% all that gain and many more alike got evaporated and went down over 50% and still refused to let go of ego and cut the losses and kept giving positive but worthless updates. I am not sure if there was any call on Early Stage trader which actually made a penny for the subscribers. The sales presentation for early stage was full of lies which I am not sure how he didn't get into trouble for. I have kept my subscription to see where it all will go but soon will cancel it as it's up for renewal.

Followup to the response to my previous post

While it is accurate to say that my subscription expired at the end of 2021 the only thing I can say is thank heavens it expired. Following advice given I lost at least 5 times my subscription fee. Recommendations were a total disaster and frankly I think I should have bought Powerball tickets. There one expects to lose so I would have fulfilled my destiny. At a minimum I would hope that the organization is embarassed by their performance. $2,000 spent at least $10,000 lost. That's 6,000 lottery tickets

I stand with Jeff Brown

I'm impressed with the amount of bad feedback here. I am an unlimited subscriber and yes, I was considering leaving a 1 star review after they fired Jeff Brown and cut most of the services as well as the picks in some of them. Nothing against the chap that substituted him but Jeff is simply superior, they just fired him when the markets were at the bottom and then cleaned up the losers (small caps after the interest hikes) to have a better-looking portfolio at the expense of the customers realising the losses. The new team enjoyed the ride of the markets after they joined (and I got great results from those picks also) but many of the small caps they cut short (I held in) skyrocketed just after they cut them. My brownstone small cap portfolio crashed too ever since the interest hikes and covid, but it was a bad time for all the small caps. We just chose a bad time to join the service but if you do your research Jeff Brown's advice is top-notch when it comes to technology and biotech. I look forward for them to relaunch the previously cancelled services.
