Paradigm Press Reviews 

Paradigm Press has an investment advisory service called Income Aliance, managed by a previous hedge fund manager, Zach Sheidt. The service started in April 2023 and I joined as one of their first group of investors. Since then - now 19 months later - Zach has managed to make a whopping -40% on the Income Aliance portfolio. And keep in mind that is during a VERY upbeat market. He is wrong MUCH more than he is right and following his recommdations has basically destroyed the entire value of my portfolio.

His recommendations are SO wrong and inaccurate, it’s not a surprise at all that he is no longer managing a hedge fund. Now he's moved on to wreak his havok on an entirely new batch of clients. I mean really... after 19 months in an up market, losing 40% of the sample portfolio's entire value? That's shameful, and Paradigm should ask him to resign (and fire him if he doesn't). Get someone at least a LITTLE competent to run the service, PLEASE. This guy is a disaster, other positive reviews are obviously fake! SEE MY PROFILE PICTURE FOR PROOF!

UPDATE: May 15, 2025 - The results have NOT improved. This guy's score with the model portfolio, starting in April 2023 with 100,000$, is now an impressive -34%. I'm surprised anyone is actually following this guy. His recommendations are a complete train wreck, there is no other possible conclusion - its ALSO quite obvious that all of the glowing reviews posted for the Income Alliance are complete fakes. If you follow his recommendations your portfolio will be completely destroyed.

I subscribed to Paradigm Mastermind

They have taken on several excellent commentators from both sides of the major political "Arguments."
You can learn a lot. Facts, of course.

I first became aware of Jim Rickards and Paradigm Press through a video. It was rather long but very informative and I joined the group. The four items promised were delivered in record time. Several emails were sent informing me of meetings and other things I could take advantage of. I have had no negative experience so far and was especially interested in making your home a barrier and safe haven when the world explodes, which unfortunately is in the future.

As a member of Paradigm Press since February 2024, I have decided that Jim Richards is too much MAGA for me to not loose my patience. I’ve decided to cancel my subscription to ALL that Paradigm Press has to offer. There are other “Stock & Options out there just waiting to assist me. signed Mel

I have subscribed to many advisory services over the last 15 years. I have come to realize not every trade will be a winner. It takes time to understand risk management, position sizing, and when to take profits. This is the only service that has consistently returned profits. We closed out an option trade today that was opened in July and we have harvested profits all along the way. Today they recommended closing out the position for a final profit. Total profit was $33,018 in my account and $12,612 in my wife's account.

I am a small investor that has had minimal overall profit especially if you add in the cost of the programs.
I recently had 6 options expiring on 9/20/24 and lost nearly $3200.
They bombard you with must see 2 minute videos that last an hour or more to sell the most recent investments and constantly say that they have an upgrade with a special discount set aside for you.
If they would give you the ability to say no when they make an offer it would be helpful to eliminate the multiple emails that follow,

Currently on yet another video (they send 5 or 6 a day) This one with James Altucher
He asks us to give Him 2 minutes and as is typical I have been into it for well over an hour now before he gets to the point, which leads you buy something else . 2,495/yr If you have more time than most anyone else in the world..then please become a member

Rickards is worth following and his contrarian views are often correct. Paradigm Press will sell your email address. I know this because I accidentally gave them my work email to sign up for a trial trading program that turned out to be worthless bait for upselling. Nobody outside of work has my email except Paradigm. I get one new BS trading ad per day since May 2024. Unsubscribe only works for 1 ad at a time. Paradigm replied to my original review (so I toned down a little but the same rating). They say I can opt out of sharing my email if I contact them. "Out" should be the default. It is too late now... my address is already out there.

Jim's guidance on global trends is generally spot on. While market timing is tough. You can't argue with the research. I feel better taking leveraged risk and holding cash and this is a great way to participate.

So far, I've only gotten ONE good stock recommendation. In addition to that, he is political and makes negative comments in his news letters about Trump. They sold my info and email to all their partner investor networks and I get tons of emails. I'm pissed. . They are all trying to sell you something. You will spend an hour listening to the same thing over and over. Don't fall for this like I did. Big mistake!!!

I signed up for $49 with Jim Rikards and it was well worth the money for the Shakespearean drama and theatrics presented by various Conservative experts regarding the political scene and investing in “secret “ discoveries. The entertainment value albeit slowly unfolding is not easy to replicate . P T Barnum was right . “ There is a sucker born every minute” To their credit, my fee was rapidly refunded and I've enjoyed the experience, but then I am a long term experienced investor who never relies on advisers and does his own research .

I am a small investor and regret spending 3k to get a few stock recommendations that may or may not pan out. Mostly I’m bombarded with long winded hour long videos asking for more money to buy into the “secret stock” that will likely make you a fortune. After paying this amount I expect these insights to be included in the purchase. In addition the political slant is extremely annoying and aggressively opinionated in favor of the extreme right. Guess that’s logical when you have one presidential candidate talking about limiting wall streets ability to buy up homes so first time homeowners don’t get completely priced out of the market or consumer rights and safeguards. I’m still hoping to get some actual stock tips as opposed to multiple pitched to buy into the next secret stock. Don’t waste your hard earned money like I did.

I receive over 100 emails a day from this company and it's affiliates/subsidiaries. They are all disguised as far-right winged fear-mongering and investment tactics. I never signed up for, or much less paid for, any of these services. However, my email continues to be spammed each and every day. The domains are all bogus, unmonitored, and registered using NameCheap servers. Then, SalesForce is being used to drive the spam content. Unsubscribing does absolutely nothing. Many of the addresses of each fake business are registered to the Delaware Chamber of Commerce (Delaware is notorious for protecting public records of an LLC). These include, but not limited to, Event Horizon LLC, Inception Media LLC, Agora Publishing, and Monument and Cathedral Holdings LLC. Many of the emails are the exact same content; from different domains, different business, different names; but exactly the same otherwise, sent seconds apart. This is a spam machine... nothing else. The fact that unsubscribing alone is not honored is a violation of federal law. I cannot conduct my normal business matters because my main email account is inundated with spam messages. Even using spam filters on the email system only half helps; as this company is constantly purchasing new domains (under NameCheap); and continuing with the spam machine. I am only getting started in my investigation; I will continue gathering information as this company continues to violate my rights. I already have information going back 12 months; and have just recently made the connection of Paradigm Press to Agora and Monument and Cathedral. Christopher Carroll is the co-founder of Paradigm Press who also has ties to Agora Financial LLC. I will get to the bottom of this eventually!

An extremely right wing company. The Main editor, Jim Ricards is very pro zionist and very pro republican. Alot of the geopolitics analysis is anchored in a deep seated hatred of democrats. I am not an american but i am a subscriber and feel cheated when JR presents lies as facts. Their recommendations are very average and they pummel you with advertising and "urgent videos", ad infinitum.

I signed up for the deal through an ad…sure. It’s supposed to be legit enough… it sent me the email confirmation with my receipt and links to each of the things I paid for… when clicked they take me to Paradigms site which gets me to log in… unfortunately I never got to create a pw for this site.. when I press forgot pw it tells me my email doesn’t have any history and doesn’t pull back anything.. so basically I paid for something that emailed me to an email it claims it doesn’t have record of… I’m gonna need help or my money back for sure. Already sent them a comment/email asking for help and no response yet

It's a place to waste your money on subscriptions with constant advertising that just takes up your valuable time. The advertising is some "guru" that tells you how their previous employment and trades have resulted in high returns. The problem is is when you look at the returns of previous portfolios, they don't produce that good of net returns.

Also, when you sign up for a service you have to subscribe to other products to get all of the recommendations. I find it quite costly. I find all of the advertising creates a sense of ugency and they play on your emotions.

I fell for it without an ability to refund, as the product I purchased apparently doesn't have a refund policy associated with it. Yes, I shouldn't have fallen for it, but nevertheless there are more sincere and ethical companies to choose from for an investment recommendation service.

Bought in for inside track on Apple’s upcoming announcement on Monday and was supposed to get small companys symbol of stock to buy and asked a ridiculous price to upgrade to get stock refused to give information on something I had already paid for! It’s a scam and no way to get information I paid for!!! Cancelled member ship!!!

I am helping my mother set my recently deceased father's affairs in order and have logged into his account to cancel, and not only can I not change the auto renew status or cancel online, when I called in to do so, they say that they require a notarized copy of his death certificate. My father has died, and these ghouls are only adding to the burdens of a grieving widow. None of his other subscriptions are being so difficult. They should be ashamed of themselves!
