EsYarra, Having been there, done that, I would not bother. I think he used to give a free trial, try that but be very discerning and studious. IC and many books offers us a far superior service. IMHO. My favourite books Elder and Weinstein and if beginning,Louise Bedford: 'Candlestick charting' and 'Trading Secrets" I'm not certain of the second title (above) it is presently on loan. Libraries are a good place to start, if you want to save money. Bill

EsYarra Better value found else where. If you are interested in the tech side of things this report certainly not for you. I am a current subscriber so if you send me an e-mail will give you a copy.In the good old days when Rene was a round it was very worthwhile, a lot of takeovers etc. We also got it as an e-mail version and bought the recommendations straight away knowing his subscribers (most by snail mail) would follow like sheep, we did extremely well getting set then off loading, however that impact has gone as with Rene himself. No stop loss management, so alot of his recommendations are well under water. WMR.PLF,MRE,PWT,AVJ,LSG,SRX and heaps of others. If you want to subscribe to something (i know that feeling well), not knowing your level of trading or what you are wanting from it, try Shares as a general read, or one that is based on charts. eg stockradar Cheers Scalper

I wouldn't trust any newsletter that is advertising 100% winners over the last 12 months - it is quite a meaningless statement to make. There is more to trading than % of winners. If you are keen on this sort of thing I would check out Alan Hull's site; http://members.ozemail.com.au/~adhull/index.html I don't subscribe to it although I did read his book though and found it quite good. stevo

stevo, I've also found that a lot of these newsletters quote pure price raise percentages which is different from what you'd actually get if you'd try to buy / sell the stock.. ie they don't include the bid / ask spread, brokerage etc... so a 10% profit in a week that they quote might have really only returned 2% to someone trying to get into the stock... (or maybe not returned anything at all!)... Brendan

Hi Ed Did you end up subscribing to the Rivkin newsletter. I have subscribed for about 5 years now. They have sniffed out some great value. I followed there recommendations blindly when I was a part time investor. Now I invest fulltime and use the RR recommendations in conjunction with my own ATR stop loss strategy and option plays. Have a look at their historical performance. They don't record a recommendation unless the stock has actually traded at their levels. It is true that they don't take into account brokerage but with $10 brokerage these days it is almost irrelevant. I would not recommend the report to someone with a $10k portfolio but it is definitely good value for me. If you analyse the performance history back to inception and take into account the short time frames that they hold the annual returns are over 70%. I must admit the quality dropped a bit while Rene was attending court but now that Nigel Littlewood is back from his time with Eric Metanovski, the report seems to be back on track. M
