Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

My experience : I read some really convincing article and it required I pay a month subscription to read the rest and see the stock pick. I ended up investing in that stock (Arista Networks -ANET) and I have gained 600$ YTD so far bli Ayin hara.
And I canceled the subscription within the month and got a refund.

Did anyone watch the webinar this morning about "Phase 2" (I believe it was about electric car stocks)?
Is it one big sales pitch, or worth watching?

Sales pitch. Investing in self driving cars and the technology. They said Tesla is not one of the stocks.

Here's the question. If their so good why not take other peoples money and invest it. As far as I know no ones become a billionaire selling investment advice. Hedge fund managers can make a billion in 1 year.

Because that's a whole different business model.. . and who said they don't also do that (maybe under a different name).

Reminds of this. Someone recently asked me why he should listen to a speech from a sales trainer "if he's so good, why doesn't he himself go do sales instead of giving seminars"  ::)

He is doing sales and his product is seminars.

I got 2 years free through the AMEX deal. No way I would pay for this simply due to there constant spamming of emails to buy there (elite) packages

Does anyone regularly buy their stock advisor picks?

Are they really as good as they claim to be?

Seems to good to be true to me (beating the S&P every year for 2 decades...)

I have a hunch that they had a bunch of good stock pick in the early 2000s which have shot up, but everything else (since then) has been just average.

All the review sites that I can find online have a "Exclusive Referral Link" - I know what that means  :D

Anyone have an unbiased opinion on them?

Bunch of BS. They cherry pick the data. They definitely haven't beat the S&P for 2 decades every year. (They wouldn't be busy spamming you if they had.) They're mildly better than the S&P overall. And it obviously depends when you go in.
