You will be $104.00 poorer
What are you complaining about? Yes, it is promoted as a short video and it discloses nothing but fear and drags on and on... When you order the book for $5.00 they are very straight that they are going to charge you $99.00 for a subscription. But they say they will not do that for 30 days. I have not ordered the book.
The info on the video is correct, we are in dire trouble, there is no reason for stocks to be as high as they are, nothing has changed since 2008, Obama is printing money that has no value, our national debt has doubled, China has removed the US dollar from the international trade process and is buying our food producing companies, things are about to change.
For the very wealthy for the better, for the rest of the country not. We can make changes that will turn things around but we lack the resolve and there are those with political agendas on both sides that will not allow the change. If you buy the book I can guarantee you of one thing, you will be $104.00 poorer than you are now.
LOL @ all of the dumbasses here who ordered a book, got the $99 extra charge, and are now crying about it. You deserve it for buying into the doom n gloom Alex Jones type crap that Ron Paul spews. He's a politician, of course he lied to you. Ever heard of an honest crook?
Now go have some fluoridated water and watch the skies for aliens! LOL
Ron Paul is neither a senator nor an expert on economical matters.
While it is dangerous to look at the market through rose-colored
glasses, it is equally dangerous to follow the advice of doomsday
sayers like Stansberry. If you predict a market crash long enough,
you will be right eventually.
I listened to Ron Paul babble until it became clear he wasn't going to give us the information as his teaser had said he would. In other words, he lied. All he was doing was promoting this book. So I turned him off.
Anyway, why would I want to offer money to Pirates?
I haven't read all of this lengthy list of complaints about being charged for things not ordered, but I haven't seen anyone mention initiating a dispute with his credit card company. My credit card companies have been totally cooperative whenever I've contacted them about something I didn't actually charge. Eg.: I had a credit card check stolen from my mailbox, my business insurance company billed us twice for the same month and didn't correct the billing before it would have been due, a motel charged for two nights when I was 500 miles away by the second night. If you can't get the company who is billing you to cooperate, ask your credit card company.
I ordered an item and paid $2.95 shipping. Lo, and behold, the scumbags charged me $99 for a year's subscription!
I called to demand a refund; the guy that answered insisted that I would have gotten an e-mail stating that I would automatically be signed up for a 1 year subscription to their newsletter. I told him that I saw no such thing ANYWHERE. I read my purchases very carefully before I buy anything online for this very reason!
After a terse discussion, I was told that I'd get my money back in 3-5 days. We'll see.
SCAM!
Got crazy broke Ron Paul to shill for currency collapse of the dollar. Never made it to the end of the video, but here's Ron Paul's investments from 2013 when gold was $1380 on April 15, 2013. Wonder how all these investments are doing now that gold is $1206 on April 6, 2015.

Having been a subscriber from the beginning of Pirate Investor, I have some experience with this company. Personally I have not benefited very much from trying to follow the advice of their editors which has been particularly disappointing considering the current 6 year bull market. Yes, there are some suggestions that have been winners but there have been plenty of losers as well. Like any salespeople, the Stansberry group crows about the winners but never talks about the losers. Annual report cards are prepared for each publication ranking their performance which provides some insight but there are so many recommendations in the portfolios for each letter that it is not practical to buy everything that is suggested. I would suspect the average subscriber probably gets 3 or so letters which would total to over 75 recommendations. The point is you pick and choose and you may do better that the report card states or you may do worse.
I believe the editors that I read (4 in total) from this company are sincere and genuine. They are knowledgeable and diligent in their work. They are not perfect and will not beat the market indexes by a wide margin so do not expect that. Porter comes across as very arrogant and has now become wealthy selling information. Probably far wealthier than he would ever have been as an investor. I won't vilify him for that and he has worked for a long time now to build his business. Yes, the marketing tactics can be too much and the doomsday calls seem alarmist in the current market environment (eventually things will go south and he will crow about it then) but it has been a successful strategy to garner attention. I am not bothered by the court case from years ago and think it is not particularly relevant to the Stansberry business that exists today. I have not had any issue with customer service over the years or cancelling subscriptions.
Summary - this is a legitimate company with some sincere and capable editors for their publications. Their marketing tactics are successful but overbearing. Subscribers will be exposed to some interesting ideas, some of which will fail and others may do fine. Do not expect too much - be realistic and take position sizes as suggested by the editors. If my personal investing results were better I would rate the company higher.
