His advertisement said to get pencil and paper . I listened for about 30 minutes and the free advice to buy and sell just one stock never appeared to me unless I missed it. What a 30 minute waste of time to get me to spend $145..

Chaikin has a gimmick of rating almost every stock as to whether the stock is a great buy, a moderate buy, neutral, moderate sell or a must sell. The recommendations would change quite often. Then i realized something. The ratings would lag just behind the market. For example, if a stock that Chaikin has as neutral today suddenly started to go up, his rating would change to a buy. So his ratings are not predictive.

Has been, never was pitchman. Very misleading.

I have been watching Marc Chakin's absurd TV commercials for 2+ yrs. He claims to be a stock expert who helped define the market. His first TV ad claimed to tell us the "One stock we needed to buy". Went to the web site and after listening to a 30 min video, he never said what the stock was. The second TV ad was with his wife "Angry Sandy" who said she lost all of her $$ in the 2007 market crash and we should sign up with Marc's service. How in the heck did she lose everything if her husband is an expert. I have more but what I see is an old, unethical pitchman, trying to make a buck before he leaves this earth. Avoid at all costs.

Nothing for free!!

He gives no advice for free which he says in the beginning of the video. One big sales promotion and then if you get sucked in, he sends you email after email to buy more crap. All BS!

I purchased Chaikin Analytics recently for the “reduced” price of $149 and have so far put a small amount into each of two recommendations, so we’ll see how they pan out. My complaint with the company is their immediate attempts and constant unwanted bombardment of emails to up -sell me with additional offers for additional costs; some as much as $2500!!
I will ride out my one year subscription and continue to ignore their greedy efforts to try and squeeze more money out of me with the annoying barrage of “must have” stock reports they email to me daily.

I have never visited or subscribed to any services with this company. I did not even know of its existence until a fraudulent charge was placed on my bank account by this company. I have filed a complaint and reported them. They are fraudsters.

Scuzzy firm

I was taken in by their promotion to see their AI picks. Turns out the report was 9 months old and the picks completely irrelevant in today's market.
When I asked for a refund as stated in their offer, I received a super long email which let me know they were going to make it difficult. Only after telling them I would file with AmEx, then I got an immediate refund. And also a message that I would be blacklisted from their company. Hah!
They are a scam and a waste of time. Do not bother.

Gauge does not work and Don't fall for the free pick. After about 30 minutes of taking about his Power Gauge, he states that "we are not hear to talk about the Power Gauge". He then proceeds to talk about the Power Gauge for more than an hour. Then I had to pause to take a call. It existed me from the video and started it over. I can only assume it is just an infinite length ad for Power Gauge.

This man is a con artist and a fraud. His power gauge changes on a dime and is fraud. He knows absolutely nothing. I spent an hour and half listening to him pitch a program for 2500 dollars which is non-refundable

Gimmick, Con--Don't fall for it!

Agree with other reviewers on multiple points. The Power Gauge would indicate solid trades yet would be at a loss after purchasing. What is indicated as a neutral to bear stock would end up making money. Do not believe the Gauge. Mr. Chaikin is making millions/billions on the Gauge and multiple other offerings that one can easily get sucked into, but buyer beware. You are much better off doing your own research to avoid heavy losses that the Gauge ensures. More of a gimmick than true help for investors.

I wanted to try a service that could possibly be a great pairing or even outperform the Vector Vest platform. I was completely wrong. Anything that has a hyped up 1hr+ sales video is complete garbage. Chaikin Analytics is no exception. Save your money please!!

Turn the Other Way

They present their computer analytics to guide investments. NOT. Using their computer projections, companies high in their ratings in less than a year were losers. NOT worth the cost of their program! A total loss for us. Purchased stock picks given 5-Star ratings that were losers within the year.

I've lost money on their portfolio recommendations.

I give one star to the Power Gauge system, which provides good information about stocks. However, I get similar information for free using Schwab. Their portfolio recommendations have performed so poorly that I no longer trust them. For example, one stock they recommended, FLNC, on July 3rd 2024, promptly dropped by 30% within a couple of weeks while stocks were flying high. Since then, they've removed it. What galls me is that their ongoing advertisements show how you "would have made" lots of % gains in the 100s and 1000s by following their Power Gauge buy alerts, yet they don't pick those for their portfolio recommendations. Save your money!

I was talked into the $495,00 price instead of the $49 free trial because they said it was for a lifetime. What they failed to tell you is that you find out later that you will be charged a $49 service fee each year. Totally misleading. When I complained, they basically told me that is just the way it is and no refund would be issued. I complained the 1st year 5 months into the service.
Very poor business practice!

Lost 30% of my portfolio on Market Highs using Chaikin analytics power trader. I don’t know how to use the platform. Thought it was great that the experts would give me a monthly play. In the last 14 sells that have taken place by Chaikin analytics, 11 out of 13 have hit 60% stop losses. These are call options in a bullish market that they got wrong 11 out of 13 times. Lose money yourself instead of paying for it. These guys are scammers

Not Worth the Price!

Early this year, Chaikin offered their top 10 stocks for 2024, as part of a package for $2500. I tried their package, putting $5k into each recommendation. At mid year, six are down, four are up, for a rough break-even. On a mild up day like June 26, all 10 Chaikin picks were down. Save your money, and go with solid dividend ETF’s or market ETF’s like VOO or VTI, and do your own homework for free on Yahoo Finance. I’m using those gains to pay off Chaikin’s fees. Vanguard and Blackrock base hits top occasional Chaikin home runs.
