Writing after reading the unjustified bad reviews. Review on Equitymaster

I decided to write this feed back after reading previous reviews, which I felt were unjustified for the kind of service that equity master provides. My wife came across equity master in 2009, while hunting for Warren Buffet style investing philosophy.  We first subscribed to their Value Pro service, which though at that time we felt was pricey, but seemed very honest. Today we are so pleased with the service that we are subscribers to the value pro 2 service and their calls are doing very well for us and have more than justified the price. Today my wife and me have a portfolio of stocks, that can put to shame any mutual fund house.

Encouraged by Value pro, we also became members of Wealth Alliance, which gave a basket of all their Large- mid and small cap reviews. Please understand that these stocks are picked on fundamentals and not technical ( I was once a big believer in technical, but today after learning the math behind the whole thing, I say its all a big rubbish heap anyway..) I see the people who have written reviews are quite impatient. I please implore, to you to wait. Have patience, and invest in small caps, only if you don't need money in the next five years and for large caps, if you can wait at least 3 years.

Investing in stocks is investing in a business, you do not expect your business to do well overnight do you? Read books on value investing ( like Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham..) May be in a basket of value stock its quite possible a few of them may go bad, but over time the good ones will do so well, that it will more than recover all your losses and make you wealthy. Be wise in distributing your portfolio. Only 10% of our portfolio is in Hidden treasure, it is very unwise to put all your eggs in the small cap basket, mid and large caps have done very well in the last 3-4 years.

My sympathies to those who lost money, I know the pain because I too lost once, falling prey to the so called "Technical Experts", many who are TV stars. But I suggest, take equity masters advice and wait patiently. You will not go wrong. This I say as one of their long term subscriber.
