Testimonials

Hi Joe,

I just wanted to thank you for the great work that you do.  I am a new day trader and I am so happy that I stumbled upon Stocktwits and Stocktwit’s premium subscriber services.

I really appreciate the time and effort you put into teaching your subscribers – your in depth blog posts about the economy and the markets, your great “Weekend Linky Dinks”, and your recommendations for buying stocks have been fantastic.  It is also especially helpful how you explain in your videos the reasoning behind your trades and the trigger prices.  I have made well over what I have paid for the service – by far.  I am referring to what you recommend in the subscription services, I have made even more on your day trade ideas that you message during the day.  And to top it all off, you have a fabulous sense of humor and I really enjoy your crazy tweets.  I have found myself laughing out loud many times at some of your references to war, battle cries, Spartans and swords.  (-:

A great big thanks to you Joe.  (-:

Cheers,
Jennifer Albright

Joe,
I just want to thank you for not only helping me pay for the yearly subscription many times over in the first couple days, but also taking the time to answer any questions I may have no matter how busy you may be. One of the many great things about your service is picking up numerous trading tips along the way that helps the average trader take it to the next level.
Regards,
JV

Just a couple of weeks following UPSIDETRADER and I am very satisfied and wished I had signed on sooner. The specific information I receive has been outstanding and correct – the trades I have been shown have re-paid me enough for a yearly subscription. If you are “Hit and Miss” kinda floundering around you should do yourself a favor and sign on. Learn how the people who know how to really trade.

Just joined premium yesterday…more than paid for the membership with the short call on FCX which bumped up about $1.50 and then died! Thanks…seems to be getting better all the time.

One trade makes enough money to pay for your subscription price for probably 4 or 5 months and there have been at least 5 or 6 excellent trades just this week. For anyone who is serious about learning to trade, I couldn’t make a higher recommendation and for anyone who already knows how to trade, just an extra expert pair of eyes makes it well worth the price. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I was sick of losing money in managed accounts and wanted to take control of my trading and financial destiny. Turns out that’s a tall order for an amateur. I look at UpsideTrader as a mentor, guiding me thru this transition and opening my eyes like a local in a foreign city. I get my money’s worth every week (let alone month) and feel like I’ve got someone on my side. The biggest losses I’ve suffered are when I’ve tried to outsmart him… (sorry Joe!). Until that happens, I’m happy riding with Upside.

I was an early subscriber to the Upside premium service, having been a fan of his blog for some time.  I am happy to say that I have made money on both the long and short side using his recommendations, but in my opinion, the real value has been in the learnings.  Joe takes time to explain the why’s of each trade and gives clear tips on money management.

One other important note – you need not be a full-time day trader to benefit from Joe’s service.  I have a full time job and set up my orders early in the morning when he posts the day’s picks, and adjust my stops after hours.  This is a service anyone can benefit from.

Trading is about trust.  Anyone that understands trading will tell you that it’s hard enough to trust yourself let alone someone else.  Inasmuch, there are few people that I trust for trading ideas.  Joe is one of a few that I trust and there’s about a Grand Canyon worth of space between Joe and the next person in terms of how much I trust them (I’m not even on my own list).  I would recommend him without reservation.  His subscription paid for itself for the first year in the second day and I was trading 1/4 of my usual positions.  There are very few things that I am certain about with trading.  One of them is that next week and every week after I will be positive cash because of this subscription.  I have yet to have a down week following Joe’s trades.  If he can’t make you money, no one can.  He can make money in any market.  Nothing is guaranteed but that’s been my experience thus far.

Lastly, not only is Joe the best trader I know, he’s a great guy.  He’s passionate about what he does and it shows.  He’s responsive to his subs and he loves what he’s doing.  It’s the best $59 I spend every month.  No joke!

Joe,

I just wanted to say thanks for teaching me how to make money in down and up markets. Prior to meeting you I was in the long list of another long only guy. Ive always been a active trader but always on long side. With your help, I not only make money on the long side but I’m now making money on the short side.It is a real joy knowing I can make money every day no matter which way the market blows. Thanks for taking me under your wing, thanks for teaching me about technical analysis and thanks for teaching me that people lie but the charts don’t. Your blog has been a blessing, its the last place I visit after the market and the first place I visit before the market opens. Keep up the great work.
On another note, I take great pride in calling you my partner in our new long/short fund, Desert Shores Capital LP.

To great success,
Todd Stottlemyre

Living in South Africa and having to trade the US market with no peers to at least bounce ideas off of has made trading challenging at times. Joining Joes site has provided that missing link to my trading. Being able to interact with fellow subs and Joe in real time via the chat room has made such a difference to my daily trading. With a great bunch of guys/ladies, and Joes awe-inspiring market calls and trade picks it’s become an integral part of my daily trading regime. I can’t wait for Mondays now so I can log onto the UpsideTrader site!

Thanks for another great week Joe!

I can’t say enough good things about the UpsideTrader service.  Since joining, my account balance has increased by a nice margin, and I am no longer making the mistakes that haunted me in the past.  My technical analysis skills have improved, and I am attacking each trading day with greater confidence.  I’m also following my rules and not letting my emotions get the best of me.  In addition, the camaraderie in the chat room is great; its like working on a Trading Desk with regular people that all in it together.  I am a true believer in the power of social networking when it comes to investing and trading, and sincerely thank Joe Donohue for making it possible through this service!

I started a few months ago with UpsideTrader, and was able to watch swing trades climb nicely, while locking in profits on almost all trades and making the subscription well worth the cost. I learned to listen and let the Master (Joe) shed advice on how to take partial profits while the swing trade worked and closing the position when the market showed that it was time to tally the P&L. Knowing that the market is always shifting, Upsider advised us to start getting out of long positions and into Cash! Believe me watching the turbulence with more cash than Stocks is a lot easier at night when I finally end the day in this Up & Down Market. Using that cash we are now trading with more Day Trades and Short duration Swing Trades (less than a few days). While always managing our assets and protecting ourselves from “Losses”. It is “Uncanny how in almost any given minute Joe Donohue, can suggest a trade and less than 36 Hours Later you are looking at a Positive P&L. Joe is suggesting Shorts before the market dips, Scalps and Day Trades before the Market Swings Up or Rips, but always being careful that we don’t get carried away from the Media’s BS and “HubBub” of Euphoria. The Chat Room is a constant opportunity to learn, there are a constant supply of experienced and well versed traders always willing to offer an opinion with never a Slam, sometimes a little Humor, but always well placed. And for those with a day job, the G-Mail Alerts allow you to enter into the trades, with confidence that they are being brought to you by the Best. And that is “No” BS! I cannot begin to delve into how much I have learned, Charts, Money Management, Loss Management, Charts and Charts and Charts. Thanks Joe for the Great Trades, and the Fantastic Site. One side Note: For those wanting to learn and become better traders, there is No better site than StockTwits. If you get a chance just watch a few of the live StockTwits TV events, they are “Great!” and you will learn so much!!!

Thank You

Bob

“I think the key to Joe’s subscription service is simplicity.  Everything works perfectly on my end.  The entry and exit points are always available on the P&L tab, in addition to stocks to put on the “radar”–these are available on the weekend and daily wraps.  Also, the chatroom is extremely fast-paced with day trades and new ideas galore–Joe calls the shots immediately when he sees them, and he also thinks out loud on the keyboard (which I find very interesting given his extensive background and perspectives).  Joe is always there for instant clarification if need be. Another area where Joe’s experience can save the day is stop modification or swing holds.  Joe will modify stops or swings on the fly very quickly in the chatroom or email when conditions warrant–with the market volatility that now exists stop modifications and swing decisions are critical.

On a more personal level, I just like Joe’s style on the TA and everything else that comes out of his mouth.  Classic TA is used, which requires very little explanation for both beginning and advanced traders.”

Best regards.,

Phil (Louie D.)
