Not worth the $
I want to start by saying I have mixed feelings about this investment group. I have been a member for 8 months and at times found value in the group. In a bull market, the gamified strategy on selling puts and calls and buying leaps and skips feels like you are outsmarting the masses. In a few cases, this is true. There are some incredible traders in the group who have made excellent decisions and been rewarded handsomely. In addition, the coaches and Ashely are incredibly responsible and take the time to answer every members question thoughtfully. There are many talented coaches who provide logical advice to many happy traders in this group. For some, this may be worth the hefty price tag. Although I do not have access to every members financials I would suspect that the average person that joins the group doesn’t even come close to beating the average return of the SNP 500. In my personal scenario, I had some early success selling puts and earning close to 2000 per month realized gains for the first few months. Unfortunately, when the market enters a pullback traders in the group are often assigned positions far under cost basis. That means although I earned over 10K during my time in the group, I also picked up over 15K unrealized losses. Although I did not sell all these positions, it is a very frustrating position to pay taxes on realized gains while being weighed down with heavy unrealized losses. As a caveat, I did not take every trade Ashely recommended. She recently recommended a QQQ skip near the recent Iran lows (an incredible play). Even so after being burned by Hood, sofi, TTD, and countless others I didn’t have the confidence to continue filling the recommendations. Overall I am about even since joining the group. In contrast, the snp 500 returned 15.5% since June 30th 2025 to today. Obviously I would have been better off throwing my cash into VOO. I think the challenging part about these groups is the underlying business model. The success of the business depends on keeping people engaged and trading actively. Calm, boring, long term investing doesn’t generate Discord activity or keep subscriptions feeling valuable. So there’s a structural incentive to always have a new trade idea even when the right answer is to do nothing.
