“I signed up for 5 weeks for $5 through my company, Wasn't able to open the website. I found out recently they had been charging a company card for 32.95 for 8 weeks. When I called they assured me it was my fault and no offer to refund. I had used IBD hard copy in the past and found it to be an asset for ideas. I was excited to be able to get again. Now I don't want to do business with them.”

“I started subscribing to IBD Print edition back in 1988! I long for that daily edition. I subscribed for many years until the print edition ceased. Recently I did a trial subscription. I can't believe how IBD has bombarded me with the various add-on modules such as market smith, etc, etc. It is ridiculous! I'm dropping my subscription. I still believe in the basic CANSLIM formula and the chart pattern recognition taught by Wm. O'Niel. But as far as I'm concerned, the digital daily edition is a MESS. So sad to see such a good product deteriorate into a chaotic daily web mess.”

“---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Dilworth Cannon Date: Tue, Sep 29, 2020, 10:15 AM Subject: To: Cannon, Dilworth D.C. I joined Swing Trader on May 21, 2020, and am quitting on Sept. 30. I have compulsively entered every trade (missed about 2-3 trades) including shares, my transaction price and amount, the alert price, my profit/loss, Swing Trader profit/loss based on their alert price, my delayed buy impact amount, my delayed sell impact amount (combining delayed buy and delayed sell impact = $20,515 loss), my projected ARR (12.5% profit), and Swing Trader ARR (from 5/21/20, 62.7% profit). I have a son who is an expert in constructing Excel spreadsheets and he helped me with this. I estimate that my transactions based on the alerts (both the app and Gmail invariably come in within 2 seconds of each other) are carried out within 2 minutes of the alert in most cases, maybe 10% an hour later. I am disappointed that Justin Nielsen did not respond to 2 friendly emails from me. I think that their success has gone down since Mike Webster left. I think they should stop trading for a while since the market is in correction. Analyzing their trading exit dates, from 9/4-9/24, they had 17 losing trades and 4 profitable trades. That is unacceptable. Some of the reviews have missed the point that Nielsen and I guess Chris Gessel delay 30 minutes after the alert before making any transactions in their personal portfolios. My son astutely made a suggestion that they should have a hedge fund that we contribute our money to, and pay a fee to them for doing the trading at their alert prices. They would make money from us, and our performance would be significantly better.”

“I purchased their Swing trader by IBD. I believe their stock picks are pretty good however they are always late. I'm just finishing up my first week with IBD and I have received a good number alerts. However by the time I receive the alert the stock already took off. Example, "AYX is a buy at 143.87" but the alert was received 5 min after the stock broke out. by the time the alert came across the stock was over 145. As a swing trader that's leaving way to much money on the table. I'm starting to think they are placing their own trades at 143.87 and then send letters out to their subscribers to pump the stock and then sell for short gains. If they are truly looking at the market they could easily send out an alert that would say something like this. "Watch for a move above 143.00 and we are buyers at 143.87 after breaking a swing high". I will gladly update and revise my review if I see a change on this front. If they cant give more of a heads up I will be a short term buyer.”

Jason, some SwingTrader users have expressed concern that a stock’s price is often well above the alert price when a new stock is added. That is often true. There is so much interest in the product that the price jumps almost instantly when a stock is added. It is not because there is a lag in the alerts. However, such spikes are usually temporary. You can take advantage of this fact in a few ways. First, consider using a limit order rather than a market order. Place your limit price within the suggested buy zone in the Trade Setup. If the stock pulls back after the initial frenzy subsides you will get filled at a much better price compared with a market order submitted soon after the alert. Some brokers offer a Time Weighted Average Price order, or TWAP. Select your limit price, number of shares, and desired time to fill the order. The broker will work the order until it is completely filled. Another strategy is to monitor an intraday chart such as the 5-minute. Look for a pullback into the buy zone or other area of support and then submit your order. For example, most stocks will retrace 25% - 50% of a strong move. If the stock jumped 2 points after the alert, you might place your order 1 point below the peak of the initially buying surge.

“Leadeboard is horrible. They pick stocks that are completely out of line with the IBD investing principles, and by the time they recommend buy something its reached its peak, then they tell you to sell at a loss. I honestly believe its a pump amd dump scam. I tried following Leaderboard investing principles on "paper" for a few months and I would have LOST about 20%. You'd be better off picking stocks by throwing darts at a dartboard. And they charge $70/month for that! Leaderboard isn't about making money for investors, its about making money for IBD. STAY AWAY!!!”

“It’s all hype and lies, do not subscribe. It is a scam taken straight from The Republican playbook. Hype, lies , repeat, spread the lie around, make it look good on paper I’ve tried to cancel for months now, once you fill out form on website to cancel they tell you to call and you call and no one answers and they tell you to go to website . Their phone message changes and is often played stop an old message AND their hours change. Don’t be a sucker, even their info is all hype,, so what if a stock is flying high , it is a groundless strategy. Worst outfit ever”

“IBD offers something not only that they cannot deliver (their paper) - they don't even care to check up if the situation is resolved. That is horrible customer service making the whole service unusable.”

“Check your credit card transactions often, cause IBD tends to charge you whenever they want. When I first subscribed they charged me twice within a few days. When I canceled the subscription they charged me again, 7 days before my initial subscription ended. When I called to ask why they said they charge in advance to make sure that there are sufficient funds on your account and that domestic customers have to call some number if they want their membership canceled instead of clicking on “cancel my membership” in your Online IBD account. I canceled it using MY IBD page since the senior product manager Arnie sent an email where he wrote that I can manage my subscription online, or by email, or by calling them. My IBD page still shows that I have no active subscriptions, which I don’t understand, since they charged me for a monthly membership a few days ago. My online billing history on the same account page never showed the duplicate charge or the amount they charged after I canceled my subscription. So what your IBD online account shows has nothing to do with what your bank account shows. Also, read their Terms of use, they have some pretty interesting terms there. And be aware that each product/service they offer can have a separate Terms of use, different than the general version. I liked their website, and different products, and I just can’t understand why they need to scam people to make money.”

“I have O'Neil's book, IBD Newspaper and online and Marketsmith for about 5 years. I have attended IBD meetings regularly. I also kept in touch with local IBD Gurus. I give iIBD 5* because I stopped losing money and stopped getting confused and buying selling at wrong time. I started making more, and sometimes started beating nasdaq. I recommend novices to read the book and attend your local IBD meetings; give yourself a few months but study and apply and ask questions. The skills you learn will help you generate returns well past your retirement; plus you can transfer to your kids and grandkids. Wishing you all many happy returns.”

“IBD is the only periodical that I receive that has educated me in a way that has really helped my trading account to appreciate in value. As a novice trader, I very much appreciate the manner in which the technical aspects are explained in a fashion that has enabled me to make smarter decisions in choosing stocks that interest me.”

“I have been using Swing Trader since mid June 2020 and am making consistent money in my account with very little down draw during slow periods. I see negative reviews because of not getting perfect timing with the trades. I have found that perfect timing doesn't matter since sometimes you get a better fill by being late; it all averages out in the end. The important thing is staying consistent and trading as many equally sized trades in your account as possible. So far its a money machine. Phil”

“IBD LIVE/SWING TRADER”

“I’ve used IBD services over the past 5 years and have seen a noticeable decline in customer service, only because they don’t have enough staff. New mgmnt. seems to be focused on the bottom line more than the products they offer. Swing Trader has delayed BUY alerts so late that the break outs are missed & it’s not worth it. The weekly paper now gets delivered 6 days late & IBD doesn’t really care. I’ve had traces done by the postal service for other business & had the problem solved. MarketSmith is the best IBD product.”

“IBD is in a category all by itself. . I had a subscricption to IBD for 24 years and it is the most superior investing publication-service on the market. I attended two IBD seminars taught by founder WO and was lucky enough to have lunch with WO at the second seminar. This publication changed my life and has taught me more about investing than the all MBA classes I had in Grad school on investing. If you study the concepts diligently and apply them according to the IBD recipe you will do well. I rarely ever recommend anything but IBD is so outstanding you should give it a try. IBD will not rip you off but the IBD recipe requires substantial study and hard work. There are no free lunches. WO should be nomiated for a Nobel Prize.”

“The company, with its IBD related services, go out of their way to make the cancellation of subscription services very difficult for users, as part of their business model. Be careful.”

“Swing trader not worth the price. Terribly dissatisfied and disappointing. IBD is just one endless sales pitch...bombarding you with emails and pop up ads. I believe you could just flip a coin, pick a stock and trade it yourself....50/50 chance. Honestly, I actually did the opposite of what they suggested, bought put options when they suggested buying and I made money. 90% of their recommendations were taken as entries early in the day, stock would sell off and I'd be in a losing situation right off the bat. Save your hard earned money. Please.”
