About Charles Payne and Payne's Education:

At the age of 14, Charles Payne became fascinated with Wall Street. In the years that followed he knew in his heart it was his path to prosperity – the catalyst that would lift him from the depths of poverty in his old Harlem neighborhood to the height of wealth on Wall Street. Against all odds… driven by sheer will and determination… he succeeded!

But Wall Street was not all that Charles had envisioned it to be. The system was flawed and skewed in favor of the firms rather than the investors. Compensation was based on making money for the "house," not the clients. This “broken system” forced good, hardworking salespeople to recommend stocks, funds, and products that were not always the best option for the clients.

Frustrated and disenchanted with this reality… Charles left his high-commission Wall Street job to start his independent market research firm. Using his unique investing strategy, Charles created a winning record of selecting stocks that produced returns exceeding the market’s averages. His success caught the attention of the media. He was frequently asked to appear on CNBC, and when Fox Business was launched in 2007, he was offered the opportunity to help guide investors on TV daily.

Today, in addition to hosting Making Money with Charles Payne (2 pm Eastern M-F on Fox Business), Charles also guest hosts for Stuart Varney and Neil Cavuto. Charles also appears on Fox News as “The Money Man” on America’s Newsroom with Bill Hemmer.

However, helping individual investors is Charles’ real passion. Through his books, Unbreakable Investor and Unstoppable Prosperity, and his educational and alert services, Charles is now helping tens of thousands of investors shorten their investing learning curves by allowing and empowering them to follow the same proven path that has brought him lasting success.

“The support and training that Charles and his team provide on stock analysis and market fundamentals really have been helping put the pieces of the puzzle together with investing. All of the instructors provide excellent training on different techniques to make you a great investor. Thank you for great instruction.”

Helpful Report

“I've managed my own investments for most of my life. A couple of years ago, I saw a Facebook post for Charle's book Unstoppable Prosperity. Having watched him on Fox, I already had some idea of what Charles' abilities were. I took the plunge and my investing knowledge and performance went from average to outstanding! I encourage anyone who has the desire to learn more and learn deeper, Payne's education will make you a better investor.”

“All of the information and live instruction you need to begin investing smartly is there. It's simply up to the individual to remain consistent and learn how to increase their wealth.”

“Just wanted to take a moment to thank you folks for the guidance and knowledge you’ve passed on to me as well as the other subscribers. I signed up for another year of classes as I’m addicted to your outstanding sessions! You opened my eyes in terms of what little I knew on structured investing. I never felt comfortable working with an investment company that would control my investments so this structure with CP was exactly what I was looking for. I only wish you were providing these sessions 50 years ago (although you were probably in diapers back then) where I could have taken advantage earlier.”

Helpful Report

“I have been following Charles since his Unstoppable Prosperity book was released. I am nearing retirement and have several retirement accounts being managed by someone else. I wanted to start learning the market and how to invest. I also have read Unbreakable Investor which has been the main reason for engaging with Charles' team to really learn how to invest. I am in the early stages but have gain a great deal of knowledge participating in his education courses. I hope to do this in my retirement and build a portfolio for my children and grandchildren. I also want to give back to my community. Thank you Charles for giving me a new direction in my retirement years!”

“the website and advise is simply superior and excellent to say the least”

“I love the online training and I have learned a lot. My one main critique is that I would love tutorials on the reports that we get throughout the day or how to examine updates on stocks thorugh wstreet. As a novice to investing, I don't know how to interpret that information and use it.”

Helpful Report

“Charles' education hit the spot right on target for me, starting with his two books: Unstoppable Prosperity and Unbreakable Investor. His education program of online and live classes then took my learning to the next level. And some of my best investment leads came from fellow students in the live Q&A sessions. As I complete my first year on his program, my portfolio had grown by 38%. I'm not stopping.”

Helpful Report

“I have learned many aspects of investing, the market, and strategies through Payne Education programs and your 2nd book. My expectations with the Masterclass Options Trading program is positive, but I do wish there was a better structure for the program to help with the learning process. The live sessions and videos are helpful, but some one on one interaction would be a great tool. I'm having a great experience with the programs and hope to continue to grow in my investing strategy for thre future. Joseph Miller”

Charles Payne and Payne's Education 4 star review on 5th September 2024

“Sorry, this will be WAY more than 2 or 3 sentences... Overall I am happy with the value of the subscription. I'm 75 years old and relied on 3 different advisors to manage my accounts. I'm "drinking from a fire hose" right now but becoming more comfortable with taking a more active role. But the bottom line is I feel it has been time and money well-spent, even given the issues I express below. I have 3 key objectives for subscribing to Charles Payne's Wall Street Strategies (the "Hotline Service) and Payne's Education: 1. To create and maintain a portfolio that beats the S&P 500 Index. 2. To LEARN and SUCCESSFULLY APPLY the approach followed by Charles Payne’s Wall Street Strategies team. 3. To successfully maintain my portfolio on my own when my subscription expires. I do not believe that it would have been a wise decision for me to subscribe only to one of the services and not the other. I purposely delayed setting up my Starter Portfolio for 6 or 7 weeks so I could attend the Basic/Intermediate classes. That helped me avoid making serious mistakes when I finally created my portfolio. I also believe that it is difficult for me to provide an individual "score" for each of the two services. They are closely linked to and support each other. My Starter Portfolio represents only about 2% or 3% of my investments and is my "proving ground" for applying the "book learning" from Payne's Education and the "live learning" from the Hotline. Assuming I meet the 3 objectives above, I will expand the use of the techniques I learn in this first year to a larger portion of my investments. That being said, here is my 8-month review of the two services offered by Charles Payne: HOTLINE SERVICE - 1. The frequency of communications (Weekly "Payne's Perspective, morning and evening Hotline Reports, Hotline Alerts as needed) is "just right," not too much or too little. 2. The performance of my portfolio is not meeting my expectations. My 6-month results are below the S&P500 returns: 7.94% for my portfolio vs 10.21% for the S&P 500 Index. This is "where the rubber meets the road" and will be my focus for the next 4 monhths. 3. The initial instructions for how to use the Hotline Reports and Alerts most effectively weren't very clear. Early on, I made a mistake by trying to execute every "Long Idea" and quickly found myself out of cash and out of synch with the sector allocations in the Portfolio Approach. I now understand that the recommendations are, as the name suggests, IDEAS to be considered by the investor (me). 4. In most cases the rationale provided for the buy/sell recommendations is very limited. The "book learning" provided by Payne's Education is a great start, but I truly want to LEARN WHY the "experts" make the buy/sell recommendations in the "real world." Until I feel comfortable with investing MY money in a stock, I will have trouble meeting the three objectives above. 5. As I review the LONG ideas in the Hotline Reports and Alerts, I've found that some of the recommended stocks are rated poorly by other analyst services such as Schwab, CFRA and Morningstar. This causes me some "cognitive disonance" (aka, confusion) at times. 6. Finally, it seems that the team holds on to big losers (for example, ALB, DELL, ELF, GTLB) for too long. The performance of my portfolio has definitely suffered due to these 4 (and a few others) stocks. And I also recognize that it has only been 6 months and I just might have to eat my words in the future, as one or more of these "problem children" may prove me wrong. PAYNE'S EDUCATION - 1. The LIVE classes and Q&A sessions provide valuable and useful material. The level of detail in the Intermediate/Advanced classes is also "just right" although the pace seems fast at times. 2. Fortunately, the recordings of the lessons are available 24/7 on the web site. This allows me to view most lessons at least twice, which I have done for every class I have attended thus far. Notably, I "re-upped" for Education...the old saying ("It's hard teaching an old dog new tricks") is too true! 3. The Education team is timely in responding to my questions submitted by email. 4. The Advanced Peer-to-Peer Worksheet is a TERRIFIC tool for analyzing the fundamentals of individual stocks. However, the "Scored" tab doesn't seem to work well, so I manually develop my own scores. FINAL COMMENTS - These 2 services offered by Charles Payne fit together like a hand in a glove. I recommend that anyone considering subscribing to one of the services should seriously consider subscribing to the other service at the same time. I am optimistic that the next 4 months (for the Hotline service) and the next 10 months (for Payne's Education) well set me up for managing an investment portfolio to beat the S&P 500 and provide even greater security for my retirement years.”

“Our Experience with Charles Payne has been life changing for so many reasons. We were inspired by his enthusiasm, knowledge of the market and teaching of his basic rules. Building on this enabled us to achieve financial gains that far exceeded what we had come to accept from the highly respected financial planners we had previously worked with. By reading Charles’s books and participating in multiple Paynes Education programs, he has freed us of our financial insecurity and provided us with his tools to handle our finances effectively ourselves. We now have the knowledge to manage our investments with appropriate caution based on strategies learned. Charles recognizes that irrespective of someones educational level, once provided with the tools anyone can take advantage of the equity markets. He is aware a majority of people do not take advantage of the investment opportunities in the stock market. Many people assume the field of finance can only be managed by professionals. What Charles does is inspire people to study and gain the skills to manage their own investments to their best advantage. We have taken multiple classes with Charles Payne, having had very little or no experience or direct involvement in stock trading previously. The principles taught by his competent instructors and Charles monthly meeting, gave us the foundation to build on and grow. In addition we were taught strategies to understand the macro and the micro aspects of the stock market including limiting risk with the knowledge that the market is temperamental. The instructors are approachable and supportive, sensitive to students needs and manifest caring in their actions . Charles Payne’s strategies have become the backbone of our investing pattern. We had the pleasure to meet Charles on two separate occasions, in person and were delighted to discover that his television persona is genuine. He is a humble, warm and engaging gentleman who we are so appreciative of and delighted to get to know. Based on his teaching we have been able to engage younger members of our family and their friends, inspiring them to recognize the importance of initiating investments as an important aspect of their financial wellbeing and future. We encourage everyone who has an interest in the success of their financial future to read ‘Unstoppable Prosperity’ and ‘The Unbreakable Investor’ and participate in Paynes Education programs. Time will pass no matter what. The compounding effect of financial gains over time using the skills taught by Charles Payne will make a substantial positive difference to your long term financial security . Thank you Charles Payne”

“After getting your book I started on your education. I started with a small portion but this year I went all in with my retirement account and it's hard for me to believe but within 6 months this year I'm up over 50%. I never would have imagined. The instructors, Gary, Greg and Rob are the best. Thank ya'll for changing my life.”

“Having never investeded in the stock market, I was promted to read Unstoppable Prosperity from watching Charles TV program. After reading a couple of chapters I enrolled in the education classes. The instructors are outstanding as well as the curriculum and following Charles Three Pillars approach has brought me Unstoppable Prosperity. To quote Charles "The best part is you will control your own destiny" Thank you Charles!”

“I believe that Charles Payne is knowledgable and honestly cares about his readers and viewers of his television program. I view the stock education and option education programs and believe they are valuable but the one negative is that they happen in the middle of the day and I am not always able to view them live. I can view the recordings but the live events would be better and if I had a suggestion it would be to start them later in the day and sometimes the chat box comments not related to the subject are distracting even though that is the only place questions can be asked.”

Helpful Report

“Knowing no more than "buy low, sell high", I've learned to incorporate the 3 pillars plus a lot more into my understanding of the market from Payne's education's competent instructors. Perhaps the best part is that I've "learned how to learn" about investing and am amazed at how differently I look at the market than I did last August when I got started_ thanks to all involved!”

“It has been an amazing journey from starting with the first book and now a year and half later in both the stock and options eductation. I have fired my broker and my results are truly unbelievable, the instructors have been great and all bring their own style and experience. Thank you Charle's and team you have given me the tools to reach my goals and retire early. Anyone can do this and everyone should!”

“The Charles Payne Education service is just what I needed to help me take control of my investments and retirement. Unstoppable Prosperity is a great read so far, I'm about a third of the way through the book. The instructors presenting the classes know what they are talking about and are very engaging. I have learned so much and continue to learn something new every day to help me make better investment decisions, to identify strong fundamentally sound companys trending up in price. It is a privaledge to be able to invest in some of the best companies trading in the market. It's been a positive venture for me. I would encourage anyone wanting to learn the basics of trading to join the team and start making money!”

“Having worked in corporate America for the last 30 years and raised a family, investing was delegated to those isolated moments. While investments grew, looking back it was a bit haphazard. Finally, I have the time to be part of Charles Payne/Payne's Education. The education has provided the context, terms and an understanding of what other investors, institutions and analysts are looking at. There is so much information available and determining what really is important has been eye-opening, time saving and improved my results. Thank you CHARLES and the TEAM.”
