False Guidance on Investments !

I believed in Whitney Tilson and bought his product several years ago which was supposed to be a lifetime subscription. He merged and the nightmare began. They continued to promote new products and support new guests ( their partners in crime). I'm very disappointed in myself for falling for the scam . I have made very little money from their investments!! As a senior citizen I don't have a lot of funds to give away; however that is exactly what I did through there promise of successful investment. Do your homework!!!

Avoid any service he provides

Avoid any service he provides. He is a fraud. He offers a lifetime subscription, then merges with another firm, and your lifetime subscription is no longer valid. However, he is happy to keep your money.

My experience with empire financial has…

My experience with empire financial has been great. When I need some extra money, they are always there for me.
I would recommend anyone to get help from them when they need it. The people there are very helpful and friendly. Thank you for everything.

You will get a lot of spam

Ever since I subscribed to their free newsletter, I get all kind of clickbait, spam etc. from "investment" newsletters, which really have nothing to do with serious investment but are pure spam, if not scam. It is a scandal that they are sharing my email address with such kind of outlets.

Whitney Tilson - stay away from

Hey was a "Lifetime" subscriber to Empire Financial Research for just a few years. Just received notice that Whitney Tilson is merging with Stansberry Research and I no longer have the "Lifetime" subscription or any of the previous subscriptions I paid for and enrolled in. I was informed I now have a credit with Stansbury Research. I am sure this will result in them simply asking for more money for a new subscription.
Recommend anyone looking at anything to do with Whitney Tilson ...... stay away.

If it looks and sounds like a scammy outfit, it's probably a scammy outfit...

Just a warning here but Empire Financial are not going to be worth the money for the majority of investors because they are a) deliberately misleading and b) not very talented. The easiest way to demonstrate how misleading they are is to look at their marketing. Enrique describes himself as having grown the value of his hedge fund several thousand percent but if you look into that figure that is mostly the assets he brought in, not performance. For example if I launch a fund at $1m, my investments return 0% but the next year someone invests in another $1m I've gone up 100%, it doesn't take any skill but they are trying to mislead you that way! With Witney Tilson much of the marketing blurb is also hilarious, and he is described as "the Man who bought Netflix at $7.78", implying, with a price today of $300, that he would have made you lots of money, ignoring that he sold it way to early and would have made you almost no money at all. In terms of being not very talented the best way to get a feel for this is to look at some of their public calls, Voyager Financial went bankrupt months after they advised it, Meta has been a disaster, Enrique's podcast also highlighted names like GROW, and SEEL that have been absolute dogs, not to mention launching a SPAC newsletter within weeks of peak SPAC-mania. By throwing out dozens of recommendations each year it's inevitable they'll be able to look back in a year, pick the best, and use them in marketing that says "you could have made a 200% return buying X", but the fact that they don't publish an audited track record of the performance of their stock-picking calls should tell any intelligent investor everything they need to know.
Oh and a final point, but read the small-print on any of their "money back guarantees", make sure this is not in the form of credit for other worthless research services.

Kirsten is great at what she does! Hats off to her!

Kirsten is an excellent in her job. She listens to the concern/request, repeats back what the concern is so there is no misunderstanding, and then executes as requested. Hats off to Kirsten for making my experience a pleasant one!
