The Opportunistic Trader Scam

Just watched The Opportunistic Trader advert on YouTube. This is one of the worst examples of get-rich-quick scam schemes I have ever seen. He's pitching his at pre-retirement people who haven't saved enough to retire and haven't a clue about the stock market. This will lose your $'000s. Save your money and stay away!

60 days guarantee not honored

I subscribed at their ONE TICKER TRADER based on their 60 days guarantee. Poor recommendations but a lot of promo for other newsletters. I asked a cancellation and refund after 24 days, but 6 days after that I didn't yet receive any response. I am sorry I subscribed before reading the reviews about them. Should we all write to the Better Business Bureau ?

Bought the $300 subscription

Bought the $300 subscription. They never sent me any Login email or Website but kept spamming me for days. I had to go hunting all over the Internet for them. Finally got logged in. First trade made NO SENSE to me. Buying a PUT when all technicals showed lots of room to go higher, and even they did a "Special" that day on the higher market the following week?! Run away.

Just saw this ad on YouTube

Just saw this ad on YouTube, trust me and stay clear of this nonsense if you like keeping hold of your
money. Anyone that tells you there is a set strategy to follow in the market is a liar. I was offended at the crudility of the advert like its aimed at the braindead.

Do your own research, there are lots of ways to learn for free and if this guy was so good, he wouldnt need to spend money on ads. He would have a queue of people at his door.

Stay away.

Not a credible "pitch!"

Look folks, you have to understand some of the facts about professional investors. Somewhere in his pitch, Larry is said to have managed $1 billion. That is nothing. I have a firm managing some of my money which has $5+ billion under management. Pros like Ken Fisher have TENS of billions under management. So $1 billion, relatively speaking, is not much.

Now--when you are a hedge fund manager and the most typical charges to investors are 2% of your assets each year and 20% of your profits (and admittedly, some funds charge less, but their "cut" is still very steep), why would you leave that business and charge subscribers peanuts for your service? This doesn't make sense. I can only say that Larry appears to be successful at an earlier point in his career, but for him to be "pitching" his service indicates that he has been failing in more recent years. And please don't buy his story--or anyone's--that they are doing this only to help out "the little guy."

I joined a solicited investment group…

I joined a solicited investment group with Larry Benedict"s Opportunistic Trader ffor $2000 for one year subscription. He promised to send vertical credit or debit spreads on SPX. He promised a full refund credit to other subscriptions by Omnia Research. After loosing alot of money on his trades I canceled his subscription only to find that there is only one subscription to use my $2000 subscription credit on and that was with Jeff Clark GDX trading which cost just $29 and that the remainder of the credit was voided as it can only be used once. When I inquired about using it to rejoin I was informed that as I bought it as a promo that rejoining may cost more and I would have to pay for the difference! This guy is a crook and a fraud!

I have made money on his 7 day blitz

I have made money on his 7 day blitz, and on the daily option spreads. You really need to pay attention to the market and get educated with options. Definitely need a trading plan and discipline to get in the right price. A lot takes time and market experience. It’s not a get rich right away. I have a lifetime S&P Trader membership with Larry and it has definitely made me money. Been a member for 7 months.

I am new to Larry’s S&P 500 trader…

I am new to Larry’s S&P 500 trader service and I been noticing that sometimes they will send out a spread trade that doesn’t make any sense . I am new to trading but the mistake cannot be missed . I am not sure who sent this trade out but they need to review it first before they send out because we are putting our money in every trade .

Dishonest Practices. Run!

Having purchased a subscription to Larry Benedict's Opportunistic Trader for $2000 with their '100% 30-Day Credit Guarantee' I attempted to cancel my subscription following several bad (and heavy loss) recommendations within that timeframe.
I had to request my cancellation three times before it was finally actioned, and when I asked to have my credit applied to Jeff Clark's 'Delta Report' for the $2000 it was then advertised for – and with emails and screenshots showing them that very offer – they came back saying I still needed to pay an extra $500.
I'm two months down the track now and they still haven't come back to me despite several prompts from my end.
They've basically stolen $2000 and no one in there will take any responsibility. Absolute shonk of a business. Should be investigated for their abhorrent, dishonest business practices.

Scam website designed to make you lose all your money

This website is a scam designed by Larry Benedict to make you lose all your money on s&p500 options during the "7-Day Blitz" in March 2021. It's not "How to Retire with One Ticker" as they say in their promo videos, because it makes you lose all your money.
