I signed up with Brownstone for an investment tracking service after listening to the video but after 8 days had received nothing, I called to get my money back and fought them for three days. I finally succeed with the help of my credit card company classifying the charge as FRAUD.

Are your readers aware that as of June 9th, 2026 the Mayor of Baltimore & Baltimore City Council are SUEING ALL the Agora co.s (including Brownstone) on two counts: 1. their overpricing of services & aggressive, fear laden marketing tactics all aimed at Seniors; 2. Conspiracy. The case is going to JURY Trial next.

Brownstone campaigns are fraud

Except at the time (enrolling me into subscriptions) when I paid more than $2500, I never able to get hold of anyone from its office. I tried several times through phone and no response to my email. It seems all fraud and scam. I paid around $3000 towards their subscriptions. I bought 3 stocks (RDW, RMBS, KTOS) that they have recommended to buy, instead of waiting for SpaceX stocks, and they were saying that those 3 stock companies have close business tie up relation with SpaceX. Brownstone founder Jeff Brown gave very big campaign to the public to buy those stocks. And he charged $2250 a special fee to disclose those. I invested $17000/- to buy those 3 stocks. I sold them now. I lost above $3000 on those 3 stocks. All those 3 going down everyday when SpaceX stock is going up. If they really have that close business deal with SPCX, why they are losing money when spaceX is gaining? I tried to contact the office several times for a suggestion whether I keep those stocks or sell them. But noone picked up my phone. Those people are cheating the public.

Dear Subbarao,

Thank you for your feedback. Brownstone Research is a legitimate publishing firm focused on providing market analysis, and we take our service and subscriber communication seriously.

To clarify, Jeff Brown and his team provide actionable investment recommendations based on proprietary research, but we do not guarantee specific market outcomes, nor do we manage direct portfolios or solicit investments for SpaceX. We have located your account details and regret that you experienced difficulties reaching our office via phone or email, as we aim to respond to all subscriber inquiries efficiently.

In many cases, investment research recommendations remain relevant beyond their initial publication date, as these opportunities can take time to fully develop. Jeff continues to monitor these positions closely, and any material changes or updates will be communicated to subscribers accordingly. We advise checking our portfolio on the website at members.brownstoneresearch.com, where you can see the actual status and performance of each active recommendation. For a complete understanding of how our research, model portfolios, and publishing services operate, we also refer you to our Terms of Use available on our website at https://www.brownstoneresearch.com/terms-of-use/.

I still have never received my $179.00 dollars back, never trust these people.

Where do I start..

Where do I start? First of all any subscription service that does not allow you to remove your payment method or cancel is already suspicious. They renewed my membership, even though I requested cancellation by email. Debited 2000$ from my account. They will bombard you with useless tips you can find anywhere else and force you to watch long vides, with very little insight. I want to cancel my subsctiption and remove my card and there is no way to do that unless they agree to do so. Stay away, do not waste your time. I literally had no useful tips from them, all the reports have are long winded and vague. IDid pay for a whole year but did not wish to renew, uyet they forced me to. Absolute scam, do not sunbscirbe, you will be trapped in a loop that is difficult to get out of.

Dear Reg,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience regarding your membership renewal and the difficulties you encountered with our cancellation process.

We have located your account and can confirm that your subscription has been cancelled. A full refund of the renewal charge was processed on June 4, 2026. Please be advised that it can typically take 5 to 7 business days for the funds to reflect back on your account, depending on your banking institution. Additionally, we have removed your credit card information from our system and removed you from our mailing list so you will no longer receive our promotional or marketing content, and no further charges can occur.

Regarding your feedback on our promotional videos and content, we understand that these long-form presentations and our research formats may not align with every investor's preferred style of receiving market analysis. Our goal is to provide deep-dive insights into tech trends, though we recognize that the delivery and depth of this information may not suit every member's specific expectations.

Lot of hype

Lot of hype, and spectacular claims. But these come nowhere close to the hype. You will spend money for membership and newsletter, but I cannot trust what is said. The SpaceX IPO was, according to Brownstone, have close to a 1000% increase during the IPO. It didn't. The ARKVX fund, which is where Brownstone said to invest to get some SpaceX stock, did not increase very much in value. Unless ARKVX shows fair growth over the next quarter, I am pulling my money out of it.

Dear Guest,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that our recent market analysis regarding SpaceX did not meet your expectations.

We have attempted to locate your account using the information provided in your review, but we were unable to do so. To help us resolve this for you, we have requested more information through the Trustpilot portal so we can locate your profile and assist you directly with your concern.

Regarding your feedback on our research, we understand that investment strategies—especially those providing indirect exposure to private companies through funds like ARKVX—may not align with every investor's specific short-term goals. Our goal is to provide analysis on various avenues for accessing high-growth tech sectors that are often difficult for individual investors to reach directly, though these specialized funds are always subject to broader market conditions.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize for the frustration regarding your experience and the difficulties you faced with information verification.

We tried to locate your account using the name on this review, but we could not find a matching record in our system.

Misleading marketing.

Misleading marketing.
They promoted their newsletter as it would have insight on particular stocks that might be of interest to a beginner investor, such as myself. However, the newsletter is only a primer to get you to spend more money to get the information you are seeking from the first investment you made. It’s just the same old bait and switch tactic. This tactic is used by those only wishing to milk the most out of a potential customer or client! I see why the founder has done so well good luck with the $400 you made from me because you’ll never get the opportunity to make any more. from me. !

IPO SPACE X BACKDOOR INVESTING

Exited for the news, I joined. Received the report and got into action. Since then I have found nothing but roadblocks and reasons why the recommended cannot be done; one company SoFi, told me that I was being misled. When you call them back to discuss what was just exposed, the waiting times are outrageous, when they answer, you are offered all kinds of excuses; mainly, that the companies suggested are not affiliated to them, that I’m not being given the right information and that I am the only customer, in their thousands currently in this program, that seems to be having these issues. Now that I see some of the reviews posted, I regret joining this group. Should have known better! These people should be held accountable for taking people’s money with false pretenses. They do research and push companies that are not affiliated, these companies they recommend are telling me that I am being misled. Who can you believe when you get tossed around, wasting hours of your time on hold for each company involved? I gave them 1 star because there is nothing lower! When you ask to speak to a higher up or manager to get clear information, you are just offered your money back?

Dear Alfredo,

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the initial confusion and the hold times you experienced regarding our SpaceX report.

Brownstone Research is an independent publishing firm, not a brokerage. We are not affiliated with the companies we cover, including SpaceX or SoFi. Our reports focus on secondary market strategies to help investors gain pre-IPO exposure. Standard brokerage customer service desks are often unfamiliar with these specific mechanisms, which can cause conflicting information.

We were able to locate your account and confirm that your subscription has already been cancelled and refunded in full within your 30-day money-back guarantee. We provide this guarantee because we want our members to have a risk-free opportunity to review our research, ensuring you never have to pay for a service that does not align with your investing needs.

If you have any remaining questions or need a manager to clarify the report details further, please feel free to reach out to our Member Services team directly at 888-493-3156 or via email at memberservices@brownstoneresearch.com (Monday–Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET).

I paid 192.00 for a pre-IPO for SpaceX for this secret stocks ticker symbol, but was not given that to me. Instead they tried to upsell me on a 2500.00 plan which would then give me access to this stock.

To clarify your concern about the SpaceX pre-IPO presentation, private companies do not have public ticker symbols.

This information is available on members.brownstoneresearch.com.

Empty Promises

For your real money, you will receive one presentation after another. Each presentation is awesome, but you will never receive the ticker symbols that you want. Instead, you will be told about another company or another presentation that you need to invest in. The supposed experts in these videos are conmen. Brownstone Research is worthless.

Im now making gains with Jeff and Brownstone.

Ive been with Brownstone for a while with an Unlimited membership. I always respected his technical analysis but some offerings lost me money .. Blank Cheque Speculator picks lost overall, Early Stage Trader biotech picks around 2019 were a disaster for me. Jeff never explained what went wrong. AI has now been taken up by biotech so perhaps those earlier companies lagged behind.
Also he brought in jason bodner a few years ago and all his picks were bad. Im also steering clear of crypto alt coins.
Fast forward to 2024 and now i primarily use jeffs Exponential Tech Investor and Near Future Report and overall im making gains so thankyou Jeff. Timely even bulletin updates would be great as some stocks are reaching scary highs!

So no Jeff is not a scammer, he gives interesting technical recommendations but he is not a financial advisor. Firstly dont play with your main capital and savings. Buy your house, focus on your career and family, invest the bulk in ETFs, index funds, gold, dividend stocks and be content with 10-15% pa returns then invest 10 to 20% or additional profits in more adventurous stocks.
Ive moved from 90% to 50% of my pension portfolio based on jeffs picks, half on diverse ETFs, blue chips and gold.

Dear Anthony,

Thank you for being a long-term Unlimited member and for sharing your honest journey with Brownstone Research. We truly appreciate your 4-star review and your support.

We acknowledge your feedback regarding past services like Blank Check Speculator and Early Stage Trader. Market shifts can be challenging, and we understand the frustration when certain recommendations do not perform as expected.

We are thrilled to hear that you are seeing strong gains in 2024 with Exponential Tech Investor and The Near Future Report. Jeff works hard to deliver actionable technical analysis, and your success is a testament to your patience.

Your approach to asset allocation is also incredibly wise. You are exactly right—Jeff is a publisher, not a personal financial advisor. Balancing adventurous tech picks with a solid foundation of ETFs, blue chips, and gold is an excellent strategy for protecting your capital.

Rest assured, Brownstone Research remains committed to supporting our subscribers. If you have any remaining questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out to our Member Services team at 888-493-3156 or memberservices@brownstoneresearch.com.

I was scammed for $4,000, now they are harassing me

I was scammed for $4,000. They will not give a refund for a subscription that will not be of help to me. To confusing and time consuming. I have been investing for over 40 years. Subscribing to many newsletters and firms with no issues ever!!!! Until now. After reading about them, I see they do not have a good record. My
fault, but I've never had to research a firm like this. I did think twice about their price. They offered me a credit. What can I do with a credit from a firm I would never, never, never deal with again. $4,000.00 is a lot of money. I've made good money in the market, but it doesn't make me any less angry.

Now Brownstone Research has taken to harassment. They called me about my review of them. They want me to acknowledge they did their best and I agreed to a credit to use in the future. They do not listen. I had to repeat myself at least 3 times. They gave me no choice, my only option was a credit. I said I didn't want a credit. To cancel my account, erase all my information from their computers and never contact me again because I would never use their services. Never. They refuse to cancel the credit or my information. So I can only assume they will now be selling my information to anyone they can, so I will be harassed by so many more. Wonderful customer service

Thank you for your feedback. We understand that $4,000 is a significant amount of money, and we are sorry for the frustration you have experienced regarding your subscription. We regret that our materials did not meet your expectations or align with your 40 years of investing experience.

My experience with Brownstone Research…

My experience with Brownstone Research has been honestly deplorable. So far, I have followed two trade recommendations that resulted in significant losses. Specifically, I took two Put positions that completely reversed against me, exposing a lack of timing and poor market analysis.
​This service is just as mediocre as Opportunistic Trader. They promise high-level insights, but the results are amateur at best. It is a waste of time and, more importantly, a waste of capital. I would not recommend this service to anyone looking for professional or consistent trading guidance. My loss their gain.

I am curious with these one star…

I am curious with these one star reviews how the name Elon Musk isn’t responding or at least attempting some legal approach to character defamation since it’s clear that Jeff Brown isn’t gathering investments for Space X or Elon Musk.
How do these false claims keep getting endorsed but never prosecuted?

I was not satisfied with the product(s)…

I was not satisfied with the product(s) and called for a refund but no one answered the phone. I was on hold for two hours, gave up because that is what they planned I believe.
4/14/2026 I received my full refund. Thank you member services at Brownstone Research.
