-- John Dobosz, Senior Editor, Forbes

“Sam is my respected adviser and friend.”

-- Trang Ho, ETF & Mutual Funds Reporter, Investor’s Business Daily

“Sam has been an invaluable resource for my reporting. His insights and market calls have been very accurate.”

-- Terence O'Keeffe, Tucson, AZ
“I really appreciate your personal attention, which is why I am entering into what I think will be my fourth year with Alphaprofit. I have made good sums of money from your stock recommendations. Thanks for all your hard work, and I will be renewing my subscription without a quibble this year!”

“AlphaProfit a top 10 investment newsletter.”

-- Luis F. Trucios, Redwood City, CA
“Sam: I’m a true believer to your newsletter. Made money and am happy.”

-- Norm Hadd, Loveland, CO
“I have been a subscriber to your premium service for a year now and am very satisfied. We are told to buy low and sell high and that is exactly what your Stock Searchlight does for your subscribers. Every month this section shows you 5 stocks and tells you specifically the buy below, sell above & stop-loss numbers for each one. It takes me about 20 minutes each month to put in the numbers on the Think or Swim platform and then I sit back and wait for the stocks to be bought and sold. The only complaint I have is there is only 5 stocks each month – it would be great if there were more! Keep up the good work!”

-- Paul Anderson, Brighton, MI
“I have subscribed to other investment newsletters and your newsletter is by far the #1 newsletter. Your newsletter and investment models are detailed, well thought out, easy to digest, thoroughly explained, and you strike the amazing balance of an in-depth yet succinct analysis.”

-- Darrell Corpening, Jonesborough, TN
“I have renewed my subscription to your fine premium newsletter after a short hiatus. I just missed it too much and probably will never allow my subscription to lapse again. Thanks for doing such a great job helping us do-it-yourselfers.”

I am looking forward to benefitting from your service to assist in successfully managing my father’s and my retirement accounts without having to spend an excessive amount of time performing my own financial research.”

-- Dr. Bala Ram, Chapel Hill, NC
“I have used your sector (Core) and non-sector portfolios for a few months and it has been impressive; your repositioning alerts are good and provide a clear action plan. You fill a very important void for common investors.”

-- Edward Boyce, Wantagh, NY
“I have been on your Premium Service website and I love it. I have been going through 2020 newsletters and updates. It is like reading amazing historical documents. I really like the way you advised your subscribers through this unprecedented, horrible tragedy.”

-- James Smith, San Luis Obispo, CA
“Want to congratulate and thank you for your January 1 mutual fund sector picks. Your change to the FSHOX was brilliant. You are anticipating market changes way ahead of what I can see.”

-- William Macdonald, Chelmsford, MA
“I have really enjoyed your service since starting several months ago. It has been a big help managing my mutual fund portfolio as well as your stocks.”

-- Dan Belville, Carrollton, TX
“I have followed your investment performance since I last subscribed. It has become apparent to me that you have a logical process that works. And the price of the subscription is the cheapest money management fee I will ever pay. Thanks for helping us with investing.”

-- Dale Keener, London, OH
“I am a current subscriber and value your newsletter. Your clear and objective recommendations are a welcome change from many newsletters. I really love the fact that if you ask for an idea or recommendation you are very forthcoming with an answer.”

-- Raymond Huber, Lincroft, NJ
“You deserve to be congratulated in the way you have analyzed the data, integrated your evaluations, and then decided on your holdings. You really deserve congratulations. Well done.”

-- Robert Wilson, Amherst, MA
“I am in the Focus portfolio. I have been using your newsletter for a while now and I am impressed with the results. I know you can’t always bat a 1000 in investing… but it is over a considerable period of time that matters. You are doing great. Keep up the good work.”

-- Dave DiMauro, Bristol, CT
“Sam has a very good knowledge of the market and the website has very detailed instructions on exactly how to position your portfolio. Any questions you might have are addressed in a timely manner. Customer service is outstanding! They charge a reasonable fee for the service.”

-- Lorraine Coccarro, Venice, FL
“I have been using the Focus Portfolio for two years. For the first three months of this year (2007) the Focus Portfolio has outperformed my trading stock portfolio, dividend portfolio and mutual fund portfolio. Keep up the good work.”

-- John Barone, Petaluma, CA
“I follow your newsletter and adjust my portfolio accordingly. My confidence level in your program increases every time I review the web site and newsletter. I like the fact that the program is suitable for retirement and yet aggressive.”

-- Poornachandra Rao, Cedar Park, TX
“Congratulations on such excellent performance. I’ve subscribed to many other such newsletters and I must say that aside from performance yours also is the best when it comes to presenting all the material. It is well organized, further it allows one to quickly scan the newsletter for all the essentials and then come back for a more detailed reading. My only regret is that I did not come across this before.”

-- Larry McKimm, Auburn, WA
“I researched your newsletter and found it to be the most plausible answer to my problem with my IRA. I have been using an Advisory Group to manage my account. But found them to be less aggressive and under performing. At this latest point I was paying approx. 22% of my gains back to them for their service. I look forward to taking advantage of your hard work and advice.”

-- Fanhui Kong, Ellicott City, MD
“Your superb track record and your newsletters prove that you are not only serious about investment, but also capable and fully committed.”

-- Patrick Brennan, Belmont, MA
“I came across your web site a few weeks ago and was amazed at how you have managed to utilize the Fidelity sector funds to build a very simple strategy to achieve extraordinary investment results. Congratulations. I enjoy your newsletter and see that you really do keep an eye on a wide range of economic data.”

-- James Schroering, Boise, ID
“I have been looking for a newsletter like yours for many years. I have tried over the years both the fund specific newsletters and the online subscription services. I have not had the success out of the box like I am seeing with your sector fund newsletter.”

-- Dr. Payasada Kotrappa, Frederick, MD
“Since early 2005, I use the AlphaProfit Newsletter’s suggestions for managing most of my investments. Your logic and justification for change are well thought of. Within a year, I have benefited more than I ever had in the previous three years. I do not have any tension usually associated with managing the portfolio myself. This is a good newsletter.”

-- Sergey Samoilov, Athens, GA
“I much enjoy your reports for the acute insight into market matters and their perspicuous presentation.”

-- George Brown, Mooresville, IN
“I really wondered at first about this (your investment methodology) but after several months of watching what you did and then calling to sign up and actually talking to the man who makes the moves was comforting. With the market index finishing almost flat for the whole year (2005) I would say you did a wonderful job.”

-- Dr. Jimmie Brewer, Aptos, CA
“I am still relatively new to your service, but have grown to respect your skills, insight, and straightforwardness.”

-- Neil Herskowitz, New York, NY
“I can’t tell you how very happy I am that I found your newsletter last year!”

-- Kiran Artham, Alpharetta, GA
“Keep up the good work. You guys are awesome and I learn a lot from your newsletters. I also swing trade picking stocks from the fund holdings too.”

-- Charles Persyn, Oakland, CA
“I started investing in your Focus Portfolio towards the end of May 2004. Since then I selectively increased my investment. My return on invested capital for the first year has been 24%, clearly exceeding the various benchmarks I track. Your efforts with portfolio development and recommendations are greatly appreciated.”

-- Thomas Rubbelke, Arden Hills, MN
“Proper view of the facts and the current P/E and risks in the sector. Wish other mutual fund letters would write timely on these matters as you have.”

-- Shirley Scott, Sugar Land, TX
“You publish a class newsletter. Not only are your model portfolio returns great, so are your insights. I have learned a great deal on sector investing.”

-- Howard Marshall, Lakeland, FL

“I just want to say I think your website is outstanding. I find it extremely helpful.”

-- Tim Andrews, Nedrow, NY
“I have found the AlphaProfit model portfolios valuable in providing ideas for structuring and managing my investments.”

-- Tom Schuyt, Montague, MA
“I’ve seen a lot of User Manuals in my day. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen one that’s as lucid, easy-to-understand, and direct as yours. How you’ve cut through any excess verbiage and created a User Manual so comprehendible, is really impressive.😀 I’m sure I echo many if not all first-time subscribers when I say heartily: Thanks!”

-- Adam Stevenson, Houston, TX
“As a retiree, I was quite unhappy with the measly income I was getting from my investments due to the current, historically low interest rates. At the start of 2004, I invested 1/5th of the amount held in my high balance savings bank account, in the sector funds of AlphaProfit’s Focus portfolio. By June 2004, the return from the latter was more than 5 times the income from my high balance savings account.”

-- Jack Roberts, Austin, TX
“I am fascinated with your methodology and track record. I passed on the information to all my friends.”

-- Todd Johnson, Albuquerque, NM
“I have known your work for quite some time – you are bright, successful, and have a proven strategy with Fidelity Select.”
