I just started on this subscription. The first thing I look at is their past peformance. What I see is some big gains and also some big loses showing a little over 5% gain. One can easily rack up huge losses if you get into the wrong stock that they recommend. I really don't see that they are any better than some free services like Jim Jubak who writes for MSN. He actually does better.

I don't have enough funds to buy every stock they recommend. Which is what you need to do to average out with a gain. If I have to decide myself which ones that they recommend I should buy then I am back to where I might as well do my own research.
