ITâS OFFICIAL! I JUST GOT A MARGIN CALL WITH FREEDOMROCKS LAST NIGHT!!!
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME WITH FREEDOMROCKS!
It's less risky to use your money to invest in small cap penny stocks than Freedomrocks, lol! It's so volatile, and the pairs have not been correlated very well lately (past 6 weeks), that your expenses + risk + stress will far exceed your profits with $5000 invested (even though I don't call this investing, it's more like a unique unfound form of speculation). With $5000, in order to be even remotely "safe", you'd need settings that will only allow you to earn about half the amount of the Freedomrocks fees for the month in interest. So, if the purpose is to stay afloat and accumulate interest, then you'd actually be losing money every month. Then when you raise your settings, and increase your risk, the Freedomrocks representatives will say you're "overleveraging your account" or being "too aggressive" which gives them any deniability that their system is busted when you get a margin call. This deniability allows them to continue peddling their product, which is their main focus as they are a network marketing company FIRST, and a forex trading strategy second.
My dad's friend got a margin call using the Freedomrocks system Feb. 15, 2007. He was using somewhat risky pairs/settings, but they were still well within the Freedomrocks system and recommendations. I got a margin call this morning and my dad luckily pulled out last night with a 66% loss. I started 7 weeks ago and have had nothing but constant decreases for 6 weeks. The pairs' correlation are not there anymore and it's cost my friends, family and myself dearly.
With all said and done, it is risky and I blame only myself. But the strategy is just as risky as investing in small cap penny stocks, but at least if you research enough, it increases your chances of success, and you don't have to pay $100 a month. The pairs in Freedomrocks have done very well for about the past 8-9 months so everyone has been so excited about this. But in a strong bull stock market, almost every stock does well too, it doesn't mean there's a good system or strategy you have in place, it's just that the market is bullish and everyone within that market is succeeding. Then on top of it, the owner, Mark V., goes on his conference call and talks about how exciting everything is right now and barely addresses any of the weaknesses in his strategy that have been occuring the past six weeks. I have one friend with an account blown out, my accoutn got blown out last night, and my dad pulled out last night with a 66% loss, and Mark V.'s response is, "Wow, this was an exciting week ladies and gentleman." He needs to address the situation to us, stop worrying about selling his business and product for a minute and tell his customers whatâs really going on. Anyways, that introduction proved to me what I already thought, Mark V. and his top associates are more interested in the network marketing and the business aspect of Freedomrocks instead of trying to assist and help people invest and accumulate money. I thought the ladder was the case when I started.
The owner, his associates and the representatives you find on these forums are all trying to sell the product in one way or another, and they're mostly biased perspectives. Try listening to someone like me who isn't selling the product and doesn't have a biased slant on the program and is only listing opinions backed up with facts.
Save your money, invest in something else less risky with a greater probability of return. There's plenty of opportunities in the stock market, and most of them won't decline 40%+ overnight on a regular basis. The stock market just had a large sell-off. Pick some defensive stocks and build some capital while the market is down and uncertainty looms, if we hit a recession soon, you can position yourself with some high value stocks and position yourself for a return of the BULL!
Stay away from Freedomrocks. The risk + expense + stress is not worth the payout. Or maybe you can just burn your money in the winter time, at least you'll get something out of it.........warmth!
