Six months ago I started with $40K of my own retirement funds. I have studied hard, but except for a great return on an O&G trust, I was in over my head! Kirk Spano’s articles and videos caught my attention. He understands the oil sector better than I do – plus he has expertise in everything else that I need to learn more about. Mr. Spano has a broad knowledge base, a discerning approach to markets (through years of experience), and he does an excellent live teaching session weekly. He is very conscientious; loves America while being a global-citizen type of thinker. The technical expertise, research, & analysis I’m getting here is way beyond the scope and quantity that my own homework can reach – and he’s just getting started. To me, “Fundamental Trends” is worth the price for any retail investor who wants to manage his own stock investments & trades. You will lose your shirt out there unless you “know something that most others don’t” [K. Fisher] – more than all the “made for public consumption” bits and pieces of investing theory and salesmanship. I passed up dozens of “special offers” for investing advice before selecting Fundamental Trends.

Very hands on. You know, the guy is just easy to understand. I had been reading him on Seeking Alpha for a couple of years and then realized that of all the investment info I get in my email, I look for his first. So I took the two week trial to check out his site and decided immediately that is was way worth a buck a day. I enjoy his Friday chats…hope you all come by! I have other services which are much more expensive. I will probably let some of them go when those subscriptions run out and stay with Kirk.

kirk spano has a good market sense, and I was able to pay for my subscription several times over in the first few months. I am an experienced investor with 40 years of stocks. Success in investing is primarily found in what you pay attention to and what you ignore..Kirk excells in that regard. People who are new to this game should realize there is no easy way to consistently win, and nobody can be certain about any thesis. Kirk can help people as long as they are open minded, diversified (not concentrated!), and not expecting him to hold their hand every minute. Someone smart said, “Investing is a marathon, not a sprint.”

I like it because Kirk gives clear, reasoned advice, with specific suggestions, about how to get through the next few years of the market, which might include a shallow or severe market pullback, international troubles (or worse) with Iran and North Korea. He is a very helpful antidote to my two very bullish advisors, who have done well by me; but I am also building up my cash: Kirk’s advice has led me to a two-pronged approach, a set of mostly tech-related growth stocks *and* a group of defensive, mostly energy, stocks with cash. Among other things, I sleep better at night.

Kirk called the rise in volatility so accurately that it is just unbelievable. Excellent service and worth every penny.
