Smart Money Tracker

He had a very good run lately, but you can tell it is just luck. The man does not know what he is doing. Told people a few days ago to put go all in into silver and immediately price crashed 10%+.He has made up an imaginary "gold cartel" that is trying to supress prices when things do not go his way. Even when things do not start to work out, he keeps telling subscribers to hold on. Once their accounts are completely destroyed he changes his mind and makes up an excuse. He is also a bully and berates subscribers when they disagree with him. His latest scam now is that he wants people to pay him for a full year in advance to wreck your account. Do not fall for this clown.

As seen above the website has a low trust score index and there are complaints about customers not being able to get their money. Do due diligence and also see Againstcon.com for restitution consult for affected customers with withdrawal issues

I just canceled my subscription after trying him for 4 months. He doesn't give thorough reasons for a trade just vague cycles. He insults anyone who cancels their subscription as losers. He doesn't admit bad calls which happens to everyone. He says "We" made a wrong decision, never "I". He uses your total option premium as a stop loss. He admits he doesn't know how to trade from the short side; short selling. In a bear market he is always looking for a bounce. So he has fewer recommended trades in a bear market. I suspect he gets his trade ideas from somewhere else. I disagreed with some trades and he erased my messages. He is a mental thug. He actually doesn't know how to trade professionally or manage money. I canceled after I realized he erased some of my messages. He also took some of my trading ideas without acknowledgement. He also turned off comments on his Youtube postings to silence criticism. You won't learn how to trade at smartmoneytracker.
He creates a psychological dependency. I have seen members continuously ask for advise about how to get out of a trade. You won't learn anything but how to praise him for his great ideas. And cancellation if you criticize.

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.

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 lost so much money listening to his narcissistic moron. One day the metals are going to moon and then there is massive correction and it's all "well, the cartel is fixing the market." He refuses to take any responsibility for his terrible calls and has zero ability to keep himself from spewing whatever random idea comes into his head.

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!

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.

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.

The persona Gary Savage of Smart Money Tracker represents on Twitter/X and in public blog posts is vastly different from how he treats paid subscribers to Smart Money Tracker Premium. His public persona comes off as a nice, intelligent bloke. Behind the scenes, he attacks and bullies subscribers, frequently treating them like idiots.

He sends out daily (sometimes multiple times a day) snapshots of what he sees around a trade set-up and gives advice on how to trade the set-up, but that doesn't mean that's how he personally trades it. For example, on multiple occasions, I witnessed him set a recommended target price to sell, only to get out of the trade far earlier himself. Waiting for his target price would have caused a subscriber to lose money as the trade would turn without reaching the target.

He also expects subscribers to follow exactly what he says, even using psychologically manipulative tools around "giving his permission" to leverage trades, etc. Pyschological abuse is used to pressure people into doing as he says. Anyone who fails to follow him explicitly is berated and publicly abused for being a fool, even if the person executes a successful trade.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
