Did anyone subscribe to the Money Matrix Insider? It was well presented. Chris Ruddy CEO from Newsmax & Moneynews,they also had Steve Forbes backing it as well
 
Last November I signed up for the MoneyMatrix Insider after reading Chris Ruddy's article extolling Sean Hyman as a FOREX trader who could produce positive results in currency trading. This has turned out not to be the case. Like most offers of this type it's a scam. Sean Hyman is a FOREX trader but no better than any recreational investor as proven by his record. Of the original amount invested I have lost three quarters of that amount by following Sean Hyman's advice. This program's hype is sadly taking advantage of the current economic condition and the high jobless rates. People are desperate for any method that will give them some source of income.

I am calling on Sean Hyman and Chris Ruddy to stop this scam and make good on any and all losses incurred as a result.
 
Money Matrix Insider

Yes, I was scammed into believing Sean Hyman was as good as Newmax Chris Ruddy said he was. Hyman's recommendations have lost me 3/4 of my account over the past four months.

DO NOT SIGN UP FOR RUDDY'S MONEY MATRIX SCAM. HYMAN CANNOT PERFORM AS STATED!
 
Money Matrix Insider

I trusted Sean Hyman because he was introduced and implicitly recommended by Steve Forbes.

The last recommendation was a short on AUD/NZD that did not go well, like
so many of its predecessors. It was a loser from the start and, as soon as it came into the black, Sean Hyman recommended ditching it and proclaimed the position a winner! Thousands were at risk and a meager $70 was gained, but at least Sean Hyman seemed in this case to be watching the progress.

But in fact it was indeed a winner, at least relatively. Some of the other Sean Hyman recommendations have cost me real money. This is hardly the "inflation protection" that was hyped by Steve Forbes in his introduction.

There is no recourse that I can think of. I am just left to laugh at myself for being such an idiot!
 
Hard Data

I have traded with the Money Matrix Insider since 11/09. I was also influenced to use the service by the strong endorsements of Christopher Ruddy and Steve Forbes. I have significant investment experience, but I am new to Forex. I was interested in having a professional to suggest trades in an effort to learn Forex trading and further diversify my portfolio. Sean Hyman provides 2-4 trade recommendations per month with precise entry points as well as stop/limit values. Every Wednesday, subscribers receive a video discussing all aspects of the Forex market and the economy in general. Every Friday, subscribers receive a written discusssion of the trades and the general economy. The information provided is very professional.

However, the trade results have been dismal: following his trade recommendations carefully including accurate stops and position sizes, my account has lost nearly 40% of its original value.

Total pips since 11/09: -1,259 pips
Winning trades: 9
Losing trades: 11
Average gain on a winning trade: 119 pips
Average loss on a losing trade: -212 pips
Smallest winning trade: 1 pip
Largest winning trade: 401 pips
Smallest losing trade: -111 pips
Largest losing trade: -395 pips

We also have one active trade that is on life support -- 30 pips from the stop loss with -170 pips to date which would worsen the above results.

Sean seems to be honest and interested in providing a real service. He is a moderator for DailyFx.com. He is also a regular columnist for Newsmax. I have reviewed his record on the internet, and he seems to have a long history in the Forex market.

However, I asked Newsmax to provide me with further trading history for Sean, so that I could evaluate the probability of his being able to recoup my investment by trading his Forex signals. They refused saying that his previous clients were private and would not divulge the results. This is concerning.

At this time, I could not recommend the service.

I hope this is helpful for other traders/investors.

That's some serious loss..The most annoying part of such signals is the marketing,they will portray it as holy grail..People often falls for some of this marketing because of one or two appearance of the author on CNBC,Bloomberg etc.
I will still ask the same question i have always asked myself each time i sees any fx or investment signal, why would this people channel so much of their resources into marketing and selling the product if it actually works when they can make fortune out of it without sweating and marketing??? The answer is obvious,most doesnt work..That does not mean there are no good people with good signals and intention out there but over 90% are fake and scammers.

I wish the affected clients quick recovery from this massive 40-75% losses and also hope potential customer will read this and learn from their mistakes.

It looks like I will just be piling on. I run my own Forex site and I tend to hear about a lot of scammers. I also help out people who have been scammed. I have heard many complaints about these guys. Stay well clear everybody.
