Loss of money
I paid a big chunk of money, $2000.00 for the major opportunity to make significant amount of return. Not only I could not make a single penny I could not receive any support to figure things out.

Number one I had Larry Benedict…
Number one I had Larry Benedict opportunistic reviews for one year and lost money. Number two tried to cancel, but they still charged my credit card. Tried to get a refund, but they said I had to deal with my bank, not them. They’re a total scam if you want to make money just join there group and do the opposite of what His Stock Picks are. Also funny after I wrote this review, they said that they couldn’t find my account even though I still received updates from them that I have paid for because they wouldn’t give me my money back

Bitcoin Skimming Snafu.
I signed up for Bitcoin Skimming with high hopes. I received the first trade recommendation Jan 26 and opened the trade in my account. I did not receive another trade recommendation until May 1, and that was to sell half of a put option that I was never alerted to buy. My communications with the office on Feb 23 did not yield anything close to a satisfactory result.

S&P Trader is a PURE money maker
I have been a S&P subscriber for about a year and a half and Larry’s track record speaks for itself. I made almost 95% gain in 2023 from this service. This is daily 0DTE SPX service and did miss a few days, but after seeing the success rate I am doing my very best to catch every trade this year. The results have been outstanding in 24 as well and I have increased the number of contracts I purchase each day. I started this service with a 5% allotment of my portfolio but after the success I am having, I am increasing to 25% over the course of this year. Good luck to you and happy trading!

I really want to love your service as I have purchased a lifetime membership. Regretfully, I have not been receiving a lot of sound guidance on trades esp in tech (i.e. Buy to open NVDA May 17 $625 put for up to $5.25) esp in the tech sector. (NVDA reached $950 on May 15). I do not think I got the right direction of market sentiments on the QQQ sector from your service.

Last year
Last year, I gave them a shot, and by June , they dared to bill me. I had to cancel that scam faster than a diva on a bad date. Their customer service is a basement joke. I dumped that trash of a platform and I upgraded to Echelonis Elitus where wealth flows like a champagne waterfall. Peace out, clowns.

Misleading
Certainly not what was expected, it seems to me the service that was being sold at the time was very misleading as to what was being provided. It was titled Bitcoin Skimming, I recall one trade that may have been bitcoin skimming and it was a loser.

This is a lousy advisory
I have taken all the trade recommendations since April 2023 with an average trade size of $1,400 and have lost $21,000. The previous year I lost $11,000.

I lost money
I did 7 trades and I lost £3000.00 so for me I would have been better keeping my money in the bank.The only way to make money is by hard work and not risky schemes that you have to pay for each year.

High risk/reward ratio
I’m happy Larry posts most mornings.
I give it 3 stars because my portfolio is way down following his posts. I’m now digging myself out of a hole.
Larry posts 0DTE credit spreads on SPX most mornings. He places trades 20 points above/below the current price. Per trade he risks $2000 for a possible $150-350 gain. That has left me with many smaller gains and several large losses.
I joined during the heavily promoted witching week last quarter 2023. I put in 4 contracts but it turned hard against us. That and another trade a few weeks later almost wiped out my portfolio.
I can’t rely fully on Larry’s posts. But I do use them as a soft guide. Now when I get a post I go further out of the money and tighten the spread to risk less.
I wish Larry would give tighter spreads and bigger gains/risks even go 1-3 DTE.

I've been following Larry's S&P Trader service for about a year now. I've had such great success that I recently joined the Larry Benedict 360 program so that I could take advantage of Larry's other services at minimal cost.

2024 Challenging Market
this has been a challenging market for many people. In the past Larry has been on fire with his recommendations but this year things have not been very consistent. He knows his stuff but we all know if stock trading was so easy we all would be doing it. I find the service provides what i paid for and appreciate them not pushing to make a recommendation when the market is not giving one to us..
