In my opinion, this company just submits a bunch of bull on it's 'supposed' analysis. Secondly, they do not notify you of an upcoming renewal and then hit you with a $200 fee that should be $20.00 for all that its worth. I'd put them more in the category of SCAM than anything else.
The company replied thru TrustPilot with the same lip service, no action rhetoric. We did not receive a 30 day nor a five day notice. Deceptive company that isn't worth your time and certainly not your mobey.

Firstly, Chaikin Analytics is such a terrific tool in my investment toolbox and their Tech support for the website is awesome too. Thank you for "finding" all my information that I thought had "disappeared" ....What a relief. I am glad I have a Lifetime subscription to his information - So Good - especially in times of volatility.

Sandy needs to stop reading from the teleprompter and know that the lies and scams are more obvious, given the fact that someone coming from WS for 50 years (Marc) should not have to keep spamming CNBC with this garbage.

I have used Chaikin Analytics software for a few years. It helps me find, analyze/evaluate, and monitor stocks and ETFs.
What may appear expensive is relative to the value in my opinion.
I paid for a lifetime membership with the yearly "maintenance" fee, which in reality is a subscription, but I find the use and multiple features of the software well worth the money.
It is only one tool out of several others from other services that I use to find, evaluate, and monitor stocks and ETFs, but I find it extremely useful in my bag of tools.
I've also had prompt and friendly customer service responses when needed.
I have tried out some of their other services they offered in the trial periods and when I chose not to go with those particular services they responded quickly and refunded my money exactly as the offer provided for.

I have been using the power gauge for a few years now and get value out of relative strength graphs and money flow indicators. I do generally check it before making a stock purchase, but I feel it's more like driving while looking in the rear view mirror. It seems to go negative after the price drop and positive after the price increase. I have found other tools that are better as early warnings. Most of the recommendations and dire / urgent warnings either duplicate other services I subscribe to, or don't pan out. Reminds me of chicken little, if you're old enough to know that story. I have never had a need to contact customer service (a plus). Coverage is pretty broad. Some micro cap stocks sometimes don't show - but that's to be expected.

Bought their newsletter and Power updates in March 2024. Wrote them a letter in August '24 that an illness would prevent me from doing my daily work in the market and to please cancel my subscription. Assuming that was completed, I never again looked at any of their e-mail.
This week I received a renewal for $258 and called them. Customer service informed me that they also chged me for 2025.
Additionally, they acknowledged receipt of my cancellation e-mail request from 8/2024 and the fact that since then, I have not opened any newsletters that they continued to send... yet still failed to process my cancellation request from 2024.

Someone dropped the ball and rather than OWN THE ERROR, they blamed me for overlooking the emails. I was sick and expected an e-mail would be the GOLD Standard to cancel a subscription.

His wife promotes his new company 4-6x per day on CNBC requiring $$$$$$ yet Chaiken cannot be ethical and return the erroneous charge to me from 2025??? Shameless!

The power gauge is very useful. I find great leads and make my own selections. The portfolio picks are are 50/50. I do not believe I would have done as well without it. I recently retired and made more in 10 months than I did when working for a year.

Sophia was wonderful and very experienced in the questions I had how to see certain screens I didn’t know how to access, she showed me easily. I would give her an A plus plus plus! Awesome!

Their infomercial that promised a share tip that will miss their predicted catastrophe, is still running an hour later, no tip. Why trust a company that will happily waste your time on misleading offers and uses fear to motivate?

DO NOT hit site for information, you will never be free of annoying ads. I have blocked the site any number of times, I have contacted them as well, nothing helps.

Some recommendations were very good, some were not so good. That’s fairly common with investment newsletters. I like the power gauge and technical data. My criticisms are: 1) the list of 10 stocks recommended early in 2025 was taken off the website after a few months as I think too many were big losers; 2) his videos with a stock recommendation at the end are far too long (60-90 minutes) and list many winners throughout the talk, many that I can’t recall being discussed in his newsletters.

I started with Chaikin one year ago. It took some time to learn the program, but with the investments recommended I yielded my way to the Chaikin Trust. Very happy with my year end roundup! I feel much more confident in my investments all thanks to Chaikin and especially the weekly report with Pete Carmasino. I don't believe I would be anywhere near my goals without the help of this software. I am looking forward to 2026 with more additions promised to the program. Meantime, if you are a beginner to stock investments, I would highly recommend spending some money with Chaikin Analytics in order to Make Money!

I have used Chaikin Analytics for about 2-3 years. I have invested my time over the years reading books by successful investors. Each author had a prefered strategy and within that strategy a prefered indicator. The Chaikin power gauge incorporates most of those indicators. The power gauge is a backward looking rating based on the previous days closing price so it gives you a rating on the very recent past, it is not a crystal ball. The system algorythm reviews 5000 stocks daily. Not all 5000 are recomedations. The ones that are recomended have an detailed explanation as to why they are recomended and you should read it to make your own investment decision. I have made more than 20 times my subscription investment with the power gauge. As a result of using the system my portfolio has been increased by over $200,000 inspite of taking significant monthly retirement withdrawls. As an example, my last investment in the power portfolio, which sector rotates every 3 months, made a 25% profit while the SPY made less than 10% during the same 3 month period. I do not invest is any stock witlh at least checking the power gauge's evaluation.

Complete scammers. Worst of the Wall Street type crooks. They promise one thing and as far as I can see have NEVER DELIVERED ON IT. This company just tries to get you to buy more. The products that you pay $2k or more for only keep replaying his past big wins and NEVER GIVES YOU A RECOMMENDATION. In order to do that you have to buy another report and then that requires another buy.

Here's another one of their looser picks.

VST Issued a buy on 07/16/25 and a sell issued on 01/08/2026 $18% Loss !

I subscribed to Chaikin Analytics and found the subscription fairly useless. But in for the year I continued to review their recommendations but found them to be useless.

Fast forward to today and I called to cancel the subscription and I was told they had already charged my account on December 26 (day after Christmas) and my $99 was not refundable.

When I went to American Express for relief, they stood with Chaikin to say their policy says no refunds. Apparently no notice is required.

My advice stay far away from three Chaikin Analytics scam!

I came across this review board and I’m surprised at all the negative ones. All I can speak to is my own experience. I’m not a big time investor but I’ve been investing for many years. I own close to 200 stocks and like most people I have a bunch of losers and a bunch of winners. When I check back on my notes to see who recommended what,most of my big winners were Chaikin picks. Companies like Pure Storage, Crowdstrike, IBM and more. Doubles and triples, some I sold, some I still own. I don’t think I have even 1 big loser that he recommended. I can’t imagine I’m that lucky.

I highly recommend Chaikin Analytics. I have tried 4-5 other analysts, none of which has been as good as Chaikin. I am not a beginner and have had great success using his system. I believe using his system successfully requires some knowledge of the market but overall his system is easy to use with color-coded ratings for very bearish, bearish, neutral, bullish, or very bullish.

I purchased Chaikin's Power Portfolio for $2,665. What a rip off. The recommendations are quarterly and the performance has been non-existent. What I did receive are daily emails that want me to invest in another portfolio to get their new idea of the day. I am subscribed to several other stock recommendation programs Motley Fool and Seeking Alpha that are far superior to this scam of get them to buy a new service by promoting them daily. No refunds are available only credit to of their other useless scam portfolios.

I ordered Chaikin Analytics Power Gauge Report for USD 2500/yr on top of my ordinary account of USD 99/yr and decided to cancel this extra service, because it serves very little extra over the ordinary account. Cancellation after 60 days means that your money is tied up in Chaikin's account, so basically the money is gone. To me this sounds VERY MISLEADING and EXTRTEMELY POOR SERVICE.
