Quote from brettman9:
Please don't make things up on this thread. I understand you had a bad experience with the product. But there are a number of complete falsehoods in the above.
We don't con anyone over the phone.
Our top traders all made significantly over 200% in 2008. For myself, it was my best trading year ever.
And most of my trading calls are in stocks that trade over 10 mln shares a day. Today, for example, I had calls in AAPL and BGU. We do put out some calls in stocks that trade thin, but you don't have to take them.
A forum like this provides an all-too-easy venue for blasting us publicly and without recourse. And that's not fair.
I apologize in advance to all those traders who prefer not hear the truth.
I NEVER make up anything!
You say, "We don't con anyone over the phone"? That's what the other company said. Can you spell "Enron"?
Your claims are vague and non-specific. They're unrealistic because they're based on small cap stocks with large spreads, and little or no liquidity. And as soon as we outsiders begin buying them, even if we buy them gradually, using very small volumes, the price of the stock immediately starts going up. However, your trader who works for Briefing, never bases his calculation on the price we outsiders have to pay to be able to ride those small stocks.
A similar problem occurs when we try to unload our losing stocks. We start selling and, alarmingly, the more we want to sell them, the more the price keeps dropping. Briefing, however, never bases their calculations on the sell price we outsiders have to put up with, in order to be able to unload those stocks.
You're anonymous and also work for Briefing, that small-small company?
Your claims have not been published anywhere else, and have not been verified by any truly independent body!
It is unfair, misleading and borderline dishonest that an anonymous trader from Briefing,com -- a small-small company -- can make allegations and claim that Briefing's best trader is going to be our yardstick of typical returns. And claim that our results are going to be pretty much like that of the best trader. And to imply that we outsiders can be just as successful as Briefing's best trader. -- Not true! -- Not even close to the truth!
It is misleading and borderline dishonest that an anonymous trader from a very small company can make allegations and claim that just because 'he' happened to trade AAPL yesterday, pretty much all traders at Briefing.com trade large cap stocks pretty much all the time. Not true! -- Not even close to the truth!
I agree with cubfan who says "by the time you get the posting, it isn't possible to get the trade at the price which the Briefing trader has gotten."
I also agree with MilleniumMan who says, "market are so volatile by the time the trader gets in and types his one liner on it, it ihas moved away."
I also agree with TraderCalls who says, "There are lots of sites offering TA, stock picks, covered calls, etc. But almost none of them work. $300 a month is a lot to small traders if it doesn't work!"
I also agree with Anekdoten who says, "I once had a complimentary free trial to Briefing Trader, two weeks time, and I monitored it, I thought it was useless. Your money is better spent with a good feed, a good charting platform and a better understanding of price action."
In closing, once again I apologize about any negativity, but as I see it, it's better when we outsiders/traders stick together and learn from each others' bad experiences.
I hope this helps.
