Brownstone Research Reviews 

My portfolio has been in the red for @$160,000 + for most of a year now, thanks to Jeff Brown, Teeka and Casey. I really can’t afford to sell and realize a complete loss-I am a widow living on soc.sec.I am forced to hang on hoping “one day” I might break even. One stock is trading at $ .023. I am completely paralyzed-and depressed. I am trying to buy a house, and this “loss” significantly weakens my buying power. Instead I’m running through my savings at an alarming rate having to rent.THEY DO say don’t invest anything you can’t afford to lose. KEEP IN MIND YOU MAY VERY WELL LOSE IT ALL.

I bought into Brownstone's portfolio for cryptocurrency for about $2800 with tax. Once they sent their information to me, I got cold feet, decided it was too speculative, and cancelled within a few days. They refused a refund and told me I had to select another portfolio and only one more choice was allowed. None of them interested me. I purchased 2 stocks they advised, and lost that money too. Total loss $5400. After this experience, when another investor said he invested $5000 in each of 20 start up IPO's at Brownstone's advice, and made no money, I bailed. Don't. Don't. Don't. Do Stansberry Research, Charles Payne, Paul Mampilly or another legitimate advisor.

This is a scam. They send marketing emails constantly to me with a $49 entry subscription. I’ve invested in several of Jeff Brown’s recommendations and lost nearly everything invested. The $49 subscription doesn’t get you anything but more marketing emails and promises of huge huge (and enticing profits). I’ve unsubscribed several times and I suppose they think, I’m once or twice a sucker, always a sucker. I hope you don’t waste your time or money on this. I’m a real person with real money, really retired and got suckered many times by people like this. If their investment ideas were legit and so remarkably great, why don’t the individuals at the company go all in themselves and make millions and billions. If they did, they wouldn’t be online trying to suck $49 out of tens of thousands of people who buy in to this crap. I thought… oh well $49 isn’t much to lose. Don’t get scammed on this one and many others like this. If you have money, get a professional financial advisor. Don’t squander your retirement dreams on this crap like I have.

What happened is I fell for their line and lost $5000. They give NO REFUNDS. I bailed when another investor wrote he followed Brownstone's advice and invested $5000 in each of 20 start up IPO's. He said he made absolutely zero. Stay away from them. Invest in Stansberry or one of the legitimate companies.

I'm very disappointed in the outcome of purchasing their services. The only reason it is not one star is because I believe they do put in effort to provide details about the investments they recommend, So far it has not been anywhere close to their sales pitches that they claim.

I didn't join them but did join others including home businesses. Instead of getting to the point and giving you a price, they waste an enormous amount of time wearing you down before giving you a price.

This fellow Jeff Brown sounds genuine and like he knows what he is talking about. Maybe he does but after subscribing to Brownstone Research I've received thousands of junk emails from other would be financial analyst type research firms and papers. Jeff probably makes more revenue selling his data base of email subscribers than he does from his company Brownstone Research. If you like getting dozens of junk email daily, definitely Jeff's your fraud man.

He is a fraud candidate overall.. I had one year exponential and lured me saying that extra one year will be free which did not happen .. all hist stock portfolio went down 30%.. huge loss

Perfect place for becoming a millionaire, all you have to do is start with 2 million, and they will be sure to lose you the other million in the space of a year.

I am a lifetime member - unfortunately. That arrangement will be coming to an end with them soon.

They fail to publish annual returns for each newsletter, and keep saying to hold on. I am not referring to the past few months worth of downside, this has been a slow leak over the past 12 months.

Stay away! or become poor!

This is a SPAM factory. They operate several so-called "newsletters" and such and you will be hammered with SPAM from one right after another. Requests to unsubscribed are ignored. If they do remove you from one list they simply start emailing you the same crap from another list. Start filing complaints with their service provider. It is usually NameCheap. Best option is to steer clear of them to begin with. Legitimate companies don't do this type of crap.

EDIT: Regarding reply from Brownstone Research to my original review - they reached out to me through Trustpilot to request "additional information." The "additional information" they requested was my phone number. Guess they wanted to start sending SPAM texts, as well.

EDIT: I got entangled with these Scammers/Spammers through the Teeka Tawari spam machine (another one you should avoid). Even after notifying them to not renew anything for me, they just tried to charge my credit card $129. That charge originated from Brownstone Research. Fortunately, the credit card company contacted me to see if it was legit and I was able to get it declined. Interesting when your credit card company will not approve a charge from a company without checking to see if it is fraud. That says all you need to know about Brownstone.

This is a scam. I lost not only my annual subscription cost but also more than70k based on their recommendations. Please do not fall for this scam. They give you a number to call or e-mail them, but their response is the same. No refund!! Be careful!!! You will lose a lot more than the subscription cost by following their recommendations. I have stopped following their recommendations, and stopped losing more.

On paying USD 140, I received constant emails that never get to the point from Brownstone. Further, I received multiple marketing emails from other so called investment advisory services trying to get me to buy their services and filling up my inbox. Ive wasted a lot of time unsubscribing to these emails. Very unprofessional and the worst subscription I have ever had.
JUST DON'T DO IT

If you unsubscribed and think they sold your info because your getting similar emails...More likely shuffling you to there other owned entities!! "Marketwise"parent companies web site click on "Our Company's" : Drop down menu of these owned entity's:

So if you are getting spam from more than one of these entity's consider reviewing them ALL!!! :)

Brownstone Research has an ‘F’ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and you speaking about their high rating. I have been trying to stop the many emails a day from Brownstone or their associates (thanks for sharing my contact information Brownstone). Next day, repeat. You can never unsubscribe from Brownstone, just one of so many ‘affiliates’ that claim that I allowed for affiliate emails. Many more will follow. I have called the Brownstone Research directly, three times about stopping the emails and sharing of my contact information. Still waiting for the emails to stop.
Trust Pilot does not allow for me add a link to the Better Business Bureau, but it is easy enough to find.

Jeff Browne Research, smoke and mirrors… “But wait there’s more! (At further costs). Their methods seem to border on a scam. I had to fight to get my refund (within the legal 40 days) After I got it they then sold on on my email to an open register and I receive so many emails now which I block. BEWARE!

*UPDATE: Don't believe the response below. They have now added me to an additional 7 new letters per day!

I also, like another reviewer, had a "trial subscription" with Palm Beach Research and then unsubscribed. BUT they on-sold my email address to Brownstone, who is now bombarding me with affiliate emails and Jeff Brown advice at the rate of 50 emails per day! and growing.

If you have a spare email address, take the risk or be prepared to close down your email account for harassment by these guys:
Art of Investment
Jeff Brown in many colours and packages
Active Money Management
BBB Bulls Beating Bears
Conservative News Journal
...this list goes on and on

They are getting your money and they have never considered the loose that you got from following their recommendation . My portfolio ended with loosing money %70- %90 and one stock is delisted that cost me around - $3000 alone. I got a response from the customer service notifying me that they will send me the refund and cancel my service as I requested but I got only $1066.25 from $5331.25 that I paid for Brownstone Unlimited service. I try to explain that I should get my full refund even if I agreed to their terms. It is enough the money that I lost and they do not care about it but they care about getting your money and to convince you that in 6-12 months you get what you pay plus huge profit. I should report it to the consumer affair. Please do not try to deal with them and save your money and stay away . They are going to make money from you by any mean. The law does not protect the dupes.whoever own this business should be clear with the customers and try to increase customer satisfaction not by telling false and imaginary dreams that is why this business is loosing customers and having a bad rate.

You never really know what service( information) they are selling( promising) you for the money spent for advice. After you give them a large amount of money . You follow up on there information and how to use it and wham! They tell you you need to buy an upgrade to really make the gains they implied. I realize nothing is guaranteed and nothing is a sure bet, but the buy and sell ques are way out of sync with real life. And and that is exactly the information I paid for. Plus the real money on making gains is the upgrade you get crumbs to to entice you to spend another 2-4-12 thousand dollars for. It's like sitting in on a timeshare 1-2 hour sales pitch.

Total scam!! One infomercial after another. They "promise" good information if you pay so many dollars--but wait-- if you pay more, they will give you better advice. The "good advice" starts at. $2000 and goes up. Having said that, I did receive my refund because I cancelled w/in the timeline.

Take note - an indictment filed by the SEC against a Jeffery Brown for defrauding $17 million from investors in a real estate scheme between 2006 to 2010.. eventually Jeffrey Brown pleaded guilty and got 5 years in prison. Check it out, the guy is not legit
