Over the course of several months, Gary repeatedly made calls to buy at tops and later sell at bottoms. This caused many of his customers to take substantial losses and as you'd expect, become angry. Instead of providing support to these customers, Gary instead chose to insult them, make baseless claims like "they used too much leverage", and other irrelevant deflections. Not once did I see him take any accountability for his role in the terrible trades people followed him on.

After researching Gary a bit, it's clear that he has a history of doing this. For years he's made terrible trade recommendations to his novice subscriber base then later blame them when the trades inevitably fail. He's blown up several of his own accounts and has removed his "model portfolios" due to terrible performance.

Why did I stay a member after witnessing this? Because there was a small community of talented traders I enjoyed following. Why did I leave? I was banned for confronting him about his demeanor.

Would I join again? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Gary clearly has no idea what he's doing when it comes to trading.

Classic "whatever the last person told me" sort of guy - he makes a call with so much definition and assurance, and then changes his mind one day later with a "we knew this was going to happen all along." Honestly, I could look through my dog's crap and find better predictions.

Gary has an unique understanding of market cycles and is usually able to point within a week or two when market sectors are topping or bottoming... before he would recommend specific funds and prices. More recently, he gives less detailed recommendations... basically the sector and timing the entries but no specific fund or price... overall I can't complain as made lots of $$$ using him.

This CS is completely blindsided by partisan politics... It's never the fault of Republican traitors or the gorilla at the top. It's always the media or the Democrats.
Makes one wonder, if he's so blind to the political hacking, how can he be objective to the market facts and provide objective assessment of the market. I will tell you, he's not. He kept telling people to stay investing while the market caved 5000 points before it bottomed, and then when it actually bottomed, he claims credit for timing the bottom. His readership seems to be made of same brainless bunch as well!

Silver will slice through $50 like a hot knife through butter! Yeah, until loses 40% of its value overnight. Apart from all the bad calls, having to deal with his ego in his nightly reports was just unbearable. He regularly lies about his calls, refuses to publish real time trades, and infuses his reports and message board with ignorant and uninformed right-wing effluvia that has no basis in fact. And I am so sick of his posting that "racism no longer exists in America." Only a fool that refuses to live in reality would say something like that and as a black man, all I can do is shake my head and realize that people like him should be ignored.

" I'm not interested in buying oil, energy is going to be in a sideways consolidation for long time"
- 2020 May. After this comment oil rallied from 0 to 40$.

I have traded off and on for forty years. Mixed results. A friend suggested I try Gary Savage about 3 years ago. I think he is the finest advisor I have ever come across. Gary allows his thinking onto the page nearly every day, sometimes several times in a day. He uses cycles mostly, along with sentiment readings. He will tell you when cycles won't work (runaway moves.) He trades as well as advises. He follows the day to day but plans for and from lengthy moves. He is always teaching his flock. He is not afraid of trading, however he is even too cautious in protecting his subscribers for my tastes but I am a madman who somehow gets away with very aggressive trading. Of course he changes his mind from time to time. That is not a weakness- it is a strength. Bad reviews of Gary are but the reviewer blaming Gary for their own weaknesses or inability to grasp what Gary does. He is a master who requires getting to fully understand to be used successfully. I doubt I will ever find anyone better. Not that I am looking because i have found my guru.

March 2021, he said silver to $50 would be a piece of cake and Nasdaq to 18K by the end of summer. He will be right one day, just not when he said it would.

Gary impressed me with confident and no bs style of communication, and with calling gold top in aug 2020, which made me subscribe. I can say he made some good calls such as oil in November, however, was not very good with gold/ silver calls. On stock market, his calls were not loss making but lagged a simple buy and hold strategy. Since I subscribed I would have been ok with simple buy and hold strategy instead of Gary's calls.
On mar 25 2021, Gary wrote very long report giving a strong sell signal for the stock market, and advised everyone to sell even at a loss. Mar 25 was the exact bottom after which stocks shot up. On following days he said: wait 15-20 days before entering, then said wait for MACD, then said buy. So, in four days four different calls with Sell at bottom and buy signal later. When I called his contradictory and confusing communication, Gary responds by brushing off, or by condescending remarks or by simply ignoring questions. He never admits he was wrong.
Many comments here are aligned with mine: Gary never admits when he is wrong, Gary makes many wrong calls and by jumping in and out he was not able to beat the simple buy and hold strategy, Gary is supposed to be the gold guru but I have been less than impressed with his calls there, when something goes unexpected Gary always blames market manipulation or intervention. Because of his confident style, many have the impression he is the guru, but he is simply confident and often wrong guru who will never admit his mistakes.

I've used his advice for 10+ years, and his approach is honest and straightforward. Honestly, it requires that you follow the advice completely, and not freak out and sell when you should hold. These people who lose money are because they are arguing with him and decide to do their own thing and the lose and blame him - when it was their decision - not his that was bad.

HIs post today - on a financial advisory site:

I can now tell you from personal experience that HCQ and zinc does work and works amazingly well as a treatment for COVID. I got a prescription of HCQ from the frontline doctors about 6 months ago. I started feeling under the weather on Friday and immediately started taking HCQ and zinc twice a day. My symptoms were mild and today I'm already back to about 80%.

These vaccines the government is pushing on people are only going to create mutations and it's becoming clear they don't work on the Delta variant. A good friend just caught the Delta variant and she has been vaccinated.

Of course politicians never admit when they make a mistake. They just double & triple down on failed policies. How many booster shots are going to be forced on people before they finally admit it's not working?

How many lives could have been saved if we had simply supplied people with a prescription of HCQ and zinc that you can get in any grocery store? The caveat is that this has to be used early. Start the treatment the minute you start feeling under the weather. Zinc interferes with the viruses ability to replicate. HCQ acts as the transfer mechanism to get the zinc into the cells. If you wait till you are already feeling really bad then it's too late and the treatment won't work.

What an idiot.

This trading service is the worst I have encountered. Savage makes huge promises of future wealth and "insane" gains to keep you locked in and waiting. He routinely deletes his "model portfolios" to hide his prior losses. New subs come in and get so excited about the money they're told they will make in the future. These newbies act like Savage is some kind of messiah. This fawning entices others to subscribe because they think "he must be good" if he's getting compliments. Well, the truth is that it all ends in tears and massive losses because Gary doesn't have a plan for being wrong -- no risk management! Gary had one trade in 2016 that lost over 85%! That's just one example of many. He takes baby steps up and takes a crashing elevator down. Anyone that truthfully comments about his disasters, gets deleted and banned from his site.

The most money I ever made was trading from principals I learned from Gary. The most money I ever lost was from following Gary. Most of the reviews you will read here are very unfair to Gary as 90% of what Gary preaches is true and accurate. Here are the problems with Gary:
1. He gets stuck on an idea, becomes stuck on it and trades it no mater what. He is a home run hitter. For example, he knew all the money printing from the quantitative easing would result in the NASDAQ going parabolic. He would say 10,000 is a piece of cake and 20,000 is not out of the question. When you are trading with leverage, you will blow up your account in a hurry just trading on this principal, which is what lot of people did. Most of the sour people here blew up their accounts following Gary's big ideas.
2. When I trade, I have it diagrammed, so I know what I am risking and have stops in place. Gary does not do this well.

Now, what you will learn following Gary is about trading cycles, which transformed the way I trade and I have become successful using this method trading futures. As a tactician, Gary does a great job of entering longs at important junctures. I learned a lot from him how he did it. There are a lot of tools Gary uses to make incredible calls. Gary does a great job of teaching you to conquer your emotions. When you can do those two things, you are on your way.

I have great appreciation for Gary and what he does, but you cannot get stuck on his big ideas or he can ruin you. You are responsible for your bad trades, even when you follow a guru. If you cannot understand this, you don't need to be trading.

Gary sucks, no other way to put this, he'll throw (YOUR) money at trades, no stop-losses, no planning. He'll exit a trade at a loss when it was a gain the day before.
The fool kept calling for NASDAQ 10,000 OVER AND OVER while market topped, kept saying there is a bubble starting, 10,000+ by July, then 2018, then 2019, then 4-year cycle top, 20,000, maybe 30,000. This guy is a complete CHARLATAN, you will lose all your money by listening to his idiotic 'analysis'.

Give your $50/month to a bum, watch him buy liquor, it will be more productive.

He's in the business of selling newsletter. It is not about making money or investing.
If you take every single one of his trades over the past 10 years he would have negative return. He's blown more portfolios than i can count.

Do not listen or follow his investment advice.

I subscribed to Gary Savage AKA Toby Conner for almost a year and he destroyed alot of peoples lives with his reckless trades. He doesn't care about the people he destroys and has absolutely no conscious. He talks in a very convincing manner and is very arrogant but he lies and skews all his stats. Be forewarned.

Would you pay for sloppy trades by a sloppy mind? Probably not. Dart throwing does better. Trust me.

Gary Savage may be a sociopath as he constantly lies about his trades, has a huge ego and never admits being wrong even though he is often very wrong. For example, In 2016 he was saying gold easy to 1500 and that subscribers should buy jnug right before the complete collapse in gold and jnug. He has never admitted this call and he doesn't care if he destroys subscribers. He will blow your account if you follow him. Be warned.

Gary Savage also goes by Toby Connor and you can see his many bad past calls. In 2014, for example, he called for the top in the stock market.

Just RAISED subscription rate from $16.67 per month to $50 OR $200 to $500 a year! After having THE worst metals trade in 2016 after recommending to buy JNUG@ $23 in August holding ALL THE WAY to the $14's in November and then ABANDONING that trade and left US subscribers to be on our own! I swear to God that is what happened. And JNUG in December went all the way to the $3's for God's sake! And currently in the $11's!
THEN in December he started kicking subscribers out of his membership for speaking out on his forum and refunded them their money! CRAZY but true! His FREE daily blog as well IF you're too vocal and ridicule him, he will delete your account AND your posts and can never log on! CRAZY dictatorship that Gary Savage leads.
AND NOW he states his metal's portfolio is up 167% when in reality he absolutely removed them out of his virtual reality portfolio because of the substantial loss.
IF he started FRESH and OBVIOUSLY amassed 167% from "ALL IN" options type trading then what about those subs STILL HOLDING JNUG, NUGT and USLV that are still "underwater" holding stock ETF's NOT options with NEW MONEY... this is a absolute travesty. Afterall in August he was MAXED out with 100% of his funds going into these ETF's in the NON option portfolio. THE ONLY way to come out of his@ 167% is with NEW money ABOVE and beyond his INTIAL 100% stake in JNUG, NUGT and USLV in which in the REAL world NO ONE has that kind of capital UNLESS you're Gary Savage and you wipe the slate clean and start ANEW and REBOUGHT these ETF's in December/January 2017 timeframe till now.
