  These people somehow got ahold of my bank account and charged me $199 for a service that I DID NOT ASK FOR NOR DO I WANT. After reading all the horrible reviews here, I wonder if this entire web site is just a SCAM to take peoples money away from them. If there was a rating below 1 star that is what I would give them. I treid to email the company and the contact information is not real. SCAMMERS.!!!!!

  I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the Smart Money Trader program and request a full refund of the $2,500 I paid for the service. I had high expectations for this program based on their description materials, but I am extremely disappointed with the results to date.When I signed up for Smart Money Trader (11/8/2024), I was led to believe that the program would help me double or triple my portfolio. However, it appears that the strategies or indicators provided are not yielding the promised results. The program's description emphasized a strong focus on double or triple my portfolio and the use of the Chaikin Money Flow indicator to catch the institutional money flow, yet I have not seen actionable recommendations that align with these claims. For example, stocks like ****, COIN, UPST, and others have seen significant gains 40-50% from election night until now, yet no advice regarding these high-performing stocks was provided. This raises concerns about the program's effectiveness and the relevance of its recommendations.Furthermore, I am aware that 6 stocks to own immediately have been suggested, but they are both overvalued and have low volatility, which makes them less appealing for a retail investor like myself. These stocks from ************** are not well-known to me, and given that the majority of their shares are held by institutional investors, I feel that they do not meet my investment preferences. As a small retail trader, I prefer to focus on popular, high-volume stocks that are more suited to my investment strategy.Based on the lack of actionable guidance and the failure of the program to meet the expectations set by your marketing materials, I am requesting a full refund of the $2,500 I paid. I believe I am entitled to a refund, as the service provided has not delivered on the promises made. Their customer service said they only give credit not refund.

  If I could give this a zero, I would. What a WORTHLESS membership. I signed up for the "Regular" membership $49.99/ Yr. They send you one of their "Picks" once a month as per the membership. The problem is, the majority of their "picks" are well over a hundred dollars a share! And, the few that were in a reasonable price range all tanked and we were advised to "Sell" (within' my membership date) If someone, like myself is signing up for what would be considered a low grade membership, that would mean that the majority of people that sign up for this don't have an abundance of money to invest in stocks, hence the membership price. So, to offer a stock that trades at $152.00 a share is worthless to me. For three thousand dollars, I can buy nineteen whole shares! Not only that, all of these recommendations are very slow moving (2-3 yrs. recommended holding). Chalkin, save your automated response as this lame membership speaks for itself and reading other reviews that paid even more for their memberships, this place is a total scam and rip off. All included with excessive spam from other scammers trying to get your dollars.

  Early this year, Chaikin offered their top 10 stocks for 2024, as part of a package for $2500. I tried their package, putting $5k into each recommendation. At mid year, six are down, four are up, for a rough break-even. On a mild up day like June 26, all 10 Chaikin picks were down. Save your money, and go with solid dividend ETFs or market ETFs like VOO or VTI, and do your own homework for free on Yahoo Finance. Im using those gains to pay off Chaikins fees. Vanguard and Blackrock base hits top occasional Chaikin home runs.

  All this business does is collect your money, and then ask you to buy a bunch more 'financial products'. Your email is full of spam after signup. All the emails are something like, Buy this product and we will let you know which companies to buy now! This is after you've paid them. As others have said, it does not seem like any consumers are benefitting from subscribing or being a member of Chaikin Analytics.

  Don't use this service. I paid a $500. fee for a "lifetime" Membership but now they want to charge me $50. a year to keep the subscription going. I canceled it and lost the $500. I guess I got scammed by them. What a rip off.

  This is the worst service you can pay for. I use power trader which is where they give monthly option calls based on Mark ********************** and **** who run the organization. They have a success rate of about 20%. Stop loss out of most of the positions. Then they upsell how their Chaikin Analytics model finds all these gems before they go up. The problem is none of the people at Chaikin Analytics know how to read the model. In a bull market where we are doing calls they stop lossed out of 80% of their positions. I lost more money using this service than any other ones in the past. Use buyalerts or other services. This is a scam marketing ploy. Once you sign up then your information is essentially gone. Ive been unsubscribing from emails for the last two months and keep getting new get rich buying these type emails.

  Don't waste your time or money. Be warned, they sell your contact information and you will be deluged with spam. Every single day, multiple emails from other investment concerns. Even when you unsubscribe, new spam will appear every day.
  I cancelled my subscription but no refund will be tendered, only a credit against future services. What a joke!
  It is difficult to unsubscribe from Chaikin as well. You will be tricked in to re-subscribing instead of opting out. Be careful.
  As for the advice given, mostly losers.

  Been getting bad option trades and dozens of emails from other companies. Every email from Chaikin is a pitch to buy into another company. If he is so successful at stocks, why is he up to his neck with affiliate sales of other people's products?
  
  If he were legit, he would makes tones of $$$ with the 1) market 2) the sales of his own system.

  Beware of promotional spam from Chaikin and affiliates. I never signed up or provided this company with my information and yet I was added to their lists. Getting removed from Chaikin and their affiliates’ promotional emails has been time consuming.
