Founded by CEO Bernie Schaeffer in 1981, we're celebrating over 40 years at the forefront of the thriving options industry. From our flagship Option Advisor newsletter to our expertly curated array of real-time trading services, we've got options for every investor. Ever since that first Option Advisor newsletter was published back in 1981, it has remained Schaeffer's Investment Research's flagship offering. Of course, we've since expanded our product line quite a bit, with key offerings including a wide array of real-time option trading alert services, premium weekend-trading bulletin services, in-depth educational courses, and complimentary market newsletters. Schaeffer's Investment Research provides a wide variety of trading programs ranging from 1 day holding period to 4 month holding period, aggressive to conservative, options buying to options selling, and moneyness varies by product, too! We offer trading programs that provide real-time entry and exit instructions for the more active trader as well as Sunday-night trading services for those who prefer to set trades outside of market hours or simply prefer not to worry about the market during the week. Our leader, Bernie Schaeffer, is highly regarded by major media outlets for a unique and well-known approach to the market. Bernie and his team of traders have regular media appearances on CNBC, Fox Business, Bloomberg, Nasdaq, Benzinga, CBOE, and PBS’ Nightly Business Report. They are also frequently quoted by The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, Associated Press, Thomson Reuters, and Yahoo! Finance. Bernie has won numerous awards and accolades over the years, including: Recipient of the Traders’ Library “Trader’s Hall of Fame” award, Recipient of the Market Technician’s Association “Best of the Best” award, Consistently ranked among the top 10 marker times by Timer Digest, Three-time winner of the Wall Street Journal stock picking contest, and was Named “Guru of the Year” by TheStreet.

Research from the Schaeffer's Investment Research team of in-house analysts is regularly quoted by The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, MarketWatch, USA Today, Reuters, CNBC, US News and World Report, and more. It's easy to see why SchaeffersResearch.com has been named a "Forbes Favorite" within the options space.

I spoke to Eric yesterday and…

I spoke to Eric yesterday about my concerns on the Option Adviser system. I couldn't understand how to read the Vertical Options recommendations. It would only give me one leg of the option and you need two legs to complete a Vertical. I've been trading Vertical Options for quite some time now but I just could not understand these. After talking with Eric he recommended switching to the highly successful Extreme V program. So next week when I can access the program I'll see what happens.

Up today I have not received a response to my claim. I have written twice!!!

Dear Schaeffer Customer Service,

I am writing to express my frustration regarding recent developments with my Schaeffer subscriptions. I had two subscriptions with Schaeffer: MasterPortfolio and WealthBuilder. On May 2, I received a call from Mr. Booth suggesting that I drop these two subscriptions due to “negative on performance" and to enroll in the Powertrend subscription.

While I have not confirmed this switch, I have noticed that my credit card was charged for $5,995. I immediately contacted Mr E. Booth requesting that this transaction be reversed and my previous subscriptions reinstated. Unfortunately, none of these requests have been fulfilled until now.

As a new customer of Schaeffer, because of your prestige I expected value on your services and investment advice. However, the lack of communication and assistance in addressing my concerns is disappointing. I urge that this issue be resolved in a timely and efficient manner, and that my previous subscriptions be reinstated and the charge of $ 5,995 in my credit card be reversed as soon as possible.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

3 May 2023
