Banyan Hill Publishing Reviews 889

I still feel like I got ripped off. When I signed up for Profits Unlimited I signed up for the Lifetime service. I thought I bought access to all your picks, The it didn't become about me making money anymore, it became about getting me to sign up for as many services as you and your publisher could. Nothing short of lifetime access to all of Paul's Services would please me. I paid for them twice already. This was cruddy, cruddy, cruddy!!!

I am a BanyanHill Total Wealth Fellowship (TWF) member, highest level membership - bundle of most services. This review is focused on the consumer experience; not the trade picks.

The consumer experience of how BanyanHill communicates information to TWF members is simply poor, atrocious, and a considerable daily/weekly time waste.

There is zero BH consideration for their TWF members persona on consuming information, resulting in frequent colossal time waste for the TWF member.

For instance, since I have access to 14 or so services, I might have 40+ active stocks and options, but BanyanHill provides no way to search across all of the services to look up an active stock or option trade, thus the TWF consumer is left to searching 14+ different service pages manually looking for trade information.

I have left feedback with customer service and even the TWF specialist staff and NOTHING of my dozens of ideas to improve TWF consumer experience has been considered. I've invited them to contact me to discuss improving the experience; a black hole.

While the individual talent (Paul Mampilly and Ian, Ian King, ..) are solid .. BanyanHill is a poor web platform for consuming its bundle of services information quickly and at scale.

I submitted a request to simple add 'TWF member' as a subject drop down for the 'Contact Us' 1.5 years ago. The highest level membership and they can't add a simple field.

Regularly I have to re-sign up for text alerts because their backend database looses my previous selection for text alerts.

As a TWF level customer (highest level) I am not supposed to receive Mktg emails, but I do regularly.

Very clearly the technology platform has poor architecture to deliver a better experience or they simply don't care on improving the service for TWF level members. In nearly 1.5 years, BanyanHill has added a few services; to my recollection none of the new services have been added to my TWF membership.
Note: I do not consider eliminate a few services, which they have, and renaming the service with a different Expert a new service.

I purchased 8 stocks with a $15k investment all but one are negative so far. I believe in Paul’s strategy and am holding with strong hands. I started in Feb in Extreme fortunes, have been a profits unlimited member since 2017.

Paul Mampilly has worked wonders for my portfolio. I began following his Extreme Fortunes portfolio a few years ago. In the last 12 months I’ve had a 55% rate of return. And that is after the market has flattened out in early May 2021. It was even higher before.

I follow Profits Unlimited and True Momentum also. I enjoy investing in all three. They give me a great diversity and have done very well since I’ve started following them in 2016 and 2017. Paul has excellent integrity and a great knowledge of stocks. I love his America 2.0 ideas. They are the wave of the future and the time to get in is now. Between these three newsletters my portfolio has more than doubled, I kid you not. With Paul Mampilly’s help, I could have retired ten years early. I chose not to but it sure is nice feeling free from that worry and watching my portfolio continue to grow. Thank you to Paul and his remarkable team!

My wife and I joined Profits Unlimited and Extreme Fortunes a little over three years ago. We had just retired and were looking to find a way to off-set our savings. Between the two services, we invested about $50,000.00. As of this testimonial, we are up $156,864.00, an amazing 313%. We are so thankful to have found you Paul. We did go through being baptized by becoming "Strong Hands Disciples" going through some very uncomfortable volatility during those years. We are now, without a doubt, believers in your vision of where these new growth companies are going to be in America's new future. My wife and I believe you are a maverick of your time. You are also a wonderful human being, to be willing to share with everyday folks like us what you gave to the wealthy on Wall-Street. We feel so blessed to be among the fortunate ones to be able to participate in this magical journey with you and your wonderful team. So, we both sincerely want to thank you again from the depths of our hearts Paul.

The market keeps going down just as I hoped it would not. But I have been following Paul for about a year now and have made quite a nice return on my investment so its just a matter of time till his picks pay off.

Started with Profits unlimited. With those gains I joined the inner circle and never looked back. Followed the rules of the game and as of 5/1/2021 my portfolio is up a little over 93%. Just installed a Solar system on my home with the latest gains. Learned more about the inner workings of the market and gained useful insights, put those into practice and the results speak for themselves.

Dear Banyan Hill,
I really do love the spirit of Paul and Amber- their authenticity is very refreshing! And really appreciate all of the staff's hard work. I became a member of Profits Unlimited, as well as a Lifetime member of Extreme Fortunes in June 2017.
I am managing my own account and one for my 26-year old daughter, helping her expand her investments (inherited) in this crazy world. Although the promise was $100,000 in one year by investing $10,000, and I have not achieved that for either account, I am pleased with the smaller but significant gains we've made.
I've invested $17K and now stand at $35K with a high of $54K on Feb 10. I've taken $3K for fun.
Her account I have invested $40K and she stands at just under $100K with a high of $127K on Feb 13th. $8K was removed to purchase a car. She is incredibly diversified with over 70 stocks right now. Many others have come and gone.
Truly, many many thanks....but I sure wish I could hit some levels I see reported on your site!

I love listening to Paul. When I first started things went down and I was not listening to Paul. I almost stopped. I sold and then it went up higher than the original price. Now that I listen and follow the rules. I am making money.
Thank You Paul and crew!!

As of January of 2021 I have more than tripled my money since Joining Paul's services in May of 2017. Extreme Fortunes recommendations have been at the heart of these gains. I allocate more of my money to the Extreme Fortunes recommendations than any of the others except the 100X Club. It is a part of my investing formula and has served me and my family well, very well indeed!

Many thanks to Paul, Ian, and the rest of the team.

Joined on 8/25/20. Have purchased 19 recommendations since and sold two on your recommendation. Have invested $15,545 in 19investments and added to 6 positions. My average investment has been $620. Over the 8 months, my portfolio has grown to $20,002 for a net gain (after commissions)of $4,459 for 28.7% YTD or 43% annualized. When I deduct the $3,025 membership fee, my net gain is 9.2%YTD or 13.8% annualized.
Thanks!

I subscribed to the Profit Unlimited News letter in August 2020. Impressed with Paul’s outlook, approach, his frankness and my portfolio performance, I became an Inner Circle subscriber in December 2020. Things were great through most of the February 2021 when the whole market was going up. After that everything across all 5 portfolios started going down even when the overall market including Russell 2000 were going up. The downturn has continued to this date. My total investment in the 34 stocks that I am currently holding under Extreme Fortune is approximately $155,000.00 and as of today 4 May 2012 is down by $2,191.00 or 1.4 percent. Of the four Sell Alerts issued three were in the negative for me although I am sure for those who had subscribed long time before me the picture was quite different. The Extreme Fortunes performance could be worse if it performed anything like the IPO Speculator where my investment of $100,000.00 is down by 31.05 percent or $31,000.00 over the same time period. I subscribed to Banyanhill Inner Circle news letter as a way to diversify my IRA holdings and get into growth stocks. By comparison the securities that I liquidated to buy into the Inner Circle stocks have appreciated an astounding 40 percent since December 2021. So far my investment across all 5 services, with 25 to 35 securities under each, has been $780,000.00 and increasing as I maintain my trust in Paul and his approach knowing that in my case the sample time frame as a subscriber for evaluating performance is too short. I continue with keeping strong hands as I had always done during my 35 years as an investor through many ups and downs. As for feedbacks: Equal weighting and building positions in smaller steps in Rules of the Game are in conflict as the portfolios will never be equal weighted as positions are to be built slowly. It would also be helpful to add more details on tactics to use in building into targeted positions during long and sustained up and down trends where investor can end up averaging up in uptrends or miss opportunities in downtrends. Finally, based on some simply bad buy alerts, such as UGRO under IPO Speculator followed by a worse explanation why it dropped so much, it could be a sign that sufficient research was not done before the alert. The alert indicated that we should get into that stock before it moved from Over The Counter (OTC) to the NASDAQ. Then when subscribers questioned why the significant drop after it was listed on the NASDAQ the explanation in the followed update was that because OTC for that security was illiquid it caused the price to jump. True enough as we noticed it first hand from the result. But why was then in the buy alert it wanted us to get into UGRO stock before it moved over to NASDAQ, knowing the illiquidity issue with OTC!?
The explanation made no sense. I can only attribute this to insufficient research and thought given to some of these alerts which in turn can be symptoms if inadequate or inappropriate staffing, significantly impacting subscribers’ investments. I ended up buying it at $78.00 OTC and today it sits at around $8.00 on NASDAQ.

Thanks, I started the last couple days of February, probably bad timing, however I put 200,000 in an account and have 49 positions, about 100,000 invested and currently I'm down 35,000. So far not a great start, hopefully it will turn around SOON!!
Thanks

Too many big pharma related stock and right now, after being in it for 8 months, ROR is about 30%. Not too bad but not great.
Strong hands though!
We love Paul Mampilly!!

I started with Extreme Fortunes in August of 2020. Since then I have invested in 24 different stocks for a total cost of $24057. At present my paper gains and losses are $9910 and $3629, respectively. This represents a gain of 26pct. Included in these figures are actual realized gain of $669 and loss of $258 for an invested amount totaling $1807, which is a 23pct overall plus.

Should I be expecting better? I believe so.I am particularly disappointed in the size of the losses.

Great Stock picks with research that is first class. When a stock is recommended I know they have done research on it. I think they have more wins then most reporting companies.

I have joined in August 2020 and bought the Extreme Profits recommended stocks. 80% of the stocks I bought was down and my portfolio lost about 30%.

Another thing I have noticed after the recommended stock to buy is already the stock price is gone high and most of them are beyond the recommended low-high values.

I started my in my IRA portfolio with 134k 3 years ago. Usually my individual investment was 5k each recommendation Paul would make and by the end of December 2020 my portfolio stood at 596k. I usually get a raised eyebrow from my financial adviser on some of the picks but after the results I have had I no longer get as many raised eyebrows. My nephew has joined and will be hopefully see similar results.

I'm hopeful but to date I just have not achieved anything but below average results after 11 months in this. I've been investing since the 1980's so I know stocks do not go straight up and there are many peaks and valleys in the market. After a great Feb. I have seen a 30% decline in my portfolio. I have all but 4 of your recommendations. I've tried not to cherry pick as there is no way of knowing which will be the best performers. Right now there is no traction. If I get 1 step ahead, I get pulled 2 1/2 steps back. I did not sell anything last March and have been holding strong hands this year but even the best performers are going down.
