I was particularly impressed with Phillip's psychological approach to trading and positive attitude to life in general, which is something I find of particular interest.

I have subscribed to both the wise-owl.com Equities and Pearl reports for a period of 4 years in total now and have seen the reports and company mature into what I consider to be the premier investment advice service in Australia. The layout, information and range of products available are just simply second to none. Although I can't mention specifics, I am excited about the future product developments that the team is bringing to members in the near future.
I'd like to thank everyone at the wise owl especially Phil and Simon for taking time out to show me a little of the inner workings of the Wise-Owl and a great day all round. All the best."

Hi and thanks for the email.
Nice to know that you folk stay in touch. It is a very comforting thought....very comforting indeed, believe me! It is so very important to know that there is a 'support team' when one purchases a product such as this. Once having purchased the product, it is sobering to know that one is not left to his or her own devices. That could be a disaster!
I am exceptionally happy with my wise-owl.com report...I have almost paid the cost price out in full and totally recovered my initial outlay, and I have only just recently joined. Soon it will be all clear profit. (Except for tax...and I am working on that as well.)
The research that goes into this product truly amazes me. Although I am not qualified in this field, I make no hesitation none-the-less, in saying that I believe that this would be a world class product.
Extremely well researched, user friendly and easy to understand (even for a novice like me), easy access at all times, and real back-up service.... all these and more make this a product and package presentation that is so hard to find these days. A rare find indeed.
I'm not finished yet. ''But wait, there's more!'' I had a minor (as it turned out) technical glitch...My computer and your computer would not talk to each other....Well, not knowing what the problem was or even if there was a problem, I phoned your 1300 number and was answered by just the right person. The problem was sorted out in no time flat...and all without a fluster! That's what I call service!
Thanks for a great product and also for the friendly service. This experience has been, and still is, an absolute pleasure.
Paul Cairns

I'm very impressed with wise-owl.com. My first trade in CFD's, even through small by some, has tripled in value and is still growing. Wise-owl.com is the best investment for my money.

I’m a subscriber to the Equities, ASX 200 and Derivatives reports and have recently re-subscribed for another two years.  I was previously using another well-known subscription service, but wise-owl.com beats it hands-down.  The reports are no-nonsense, easy to follow, and importantly in my view look at both the fundamental and technical analyses.  The regular updating of profit stops has on a few occasions saved me from holding on too long and blowing my profits.  Sure, not every single tip ends up being a big winner (and no-one should expect them to be), but the overall returns so far have made this subscription a very worthwhile investment which I have been more than happy to extend.
Damian Welshe 

I have been subscribing to the wise-owl.com Equities report for several years now and cannot fault the quality of the content. More recently, I have been receiving the ASX200 report as well and have found it to be equally informative. I take a good deal of comfort in the fact that some weeks the report will issue a “hold”, “add” or “sell” instruction for a particular stock, not a “buy” each and every week. Overall, the combination of the fundamental and technical analysis provides a very thorough and rounded package of information.
Steve Blackwell

As a relative new subscriber to wise-owl.com (since last October) I am impressed with the easy to follow strategies for the weekly recommendations. I like to be independent in my investing approach but I realise that I need the objective discipline to be effective and wise-owl.com provides just that. Recommendations are set out using clear and concise strategies along with the assurance of specific stop losses and profit stops that it makes it easy for me to stick to a plan without agonising over "What to do now?!?" Of course all recommendations can't be taken up and I've enjoyed picking and choosing between stocks on offer so as to diversify my portfolio across various sectors. I've enjoyed buying into and tracking the fotunes of such stocks as CTO, BMO, PNA, TGF (Gold), STU (Oil), MLB, PBL, SMX (Media&I T), RHC (Health) and IFL (Fin). Some stocks I missed out getting set because they rose so quickly but I've kept them on a watch list. Wise-Owl is a great package and I've now subscribed to all 3 reports which are well worth the investment. The precise stategies employed are the key to its attractiveness as well as all the other features such as the calculator, open & closed positions, daily market reports and extra educational material on broader market conditions and trends. I love it, and am learning so much as well as enjoying a growing portfolio!
Peter Williams 

I subscribed to wise-owl.com about 3 years ago, with a bit of hesitation, after some very ordinary experiences with several other investment advice newsletters. I now know it was the best investment decision I have ever made. For once I have a newsletter that doesn't assume infinite finances, with never ending buy recommendations and very few sells. The Derivatives Report has allowed me to achieve excellent returns on a moderate finance pool.
Ian Gibson

Wise-owl.com's stop loss and profit stops are a useful tool and take a bit of getting used too being set so low, but once comfortable they certainly stop you from selling prematurely enabling the stock to run. I learnt the hard way by ignoring wise-owl.com's profit stop and setting mine to high. My stop was triggered, I then watched as the stock continued on its run along with my lost profits.
Trevor Fitness 

A short note to let you know that the information provided by wise-owl.com has to date made the investment in your service a profitable one. Some of the picks have been a confirmation of companies I was already trading or thinking of trading and to have them highlighted on the wise-owl list enforces my selection. Not all trades have been profitable but the cautionary advice of stop-losses and money management tend to avoid major problems and as the wise-owl recommendation is a 12 month view some of my short term trades may not do this justice. Overall the service is providing good advice and enhancing my trading knowledge, I highly recommend the service.
Scott Yull 

Since joining wise-owl.com last year, I have enjoyed increased returns on my share portfolio. Wise-owl's excellent & timely stock recommendations together with their comprehensive reports and investor information have been invaluable tools in gaining these excellent returns.
Michael Obst 

I have subscribed to wise owl for 2 years now. I don't pretend to know what stocks to pick out of the entire market. Wise-owl.com gives me a start though. Two stocks every week are recommended. Then I do my own analysis and decide weather to buy them or leave them. Its quite easy to come up with your own criteria on weather you will buy the stocks or not. If I purchase them I follow the stop loss set by wise owl and then forget about it. Every week I will see if the stop loss has been modified and if so change accordingly otherwise do nothing. My portfolio is a SMSF and I think I have done quite well in two years. 83% gain. I'm happy with that.
John Gaul 

It is about 2 years now since I first joined wise-owl.com and I thought I must tell you how much help your wise-owl program has been to me. As a 70 y/o with very little education I found your website easy to read and understand. My limited knowledge of the market and how it works is becoming a little better. I like the ease that I can move around the site and the recommended buys high on the win list. Wise-owl.com is a quality product of which I am happy to have on my P.C.
Finally, staff are excellent with follow up - courteous and friendly.
Ken Bresnahan 

I have been using the wise-owl.com report for over 2 years now and have found it very useful in picking stocks.  At one point I also subscribed to a competing newsletter published daily however I found that the amount of effort required to watch the stock each day and enter and exit at the required times was not always possible when working full time.  The wise-owl.com reports make it easy to spend an hour or so each week on my portfolio. Keep up the good work and I look forward to many more profitable trades using the wise-owl.com report.
Peter McMillan

Our investment club has been using wise-owl for nearly a year now and we would just like to say how your equities report has helped us pick the right shares. We paid for our subscription within the first few months and have not looked back since. Our profits have increased and we now have the confidence to buy the right shares and know when to keep and when to sell them. Our portfolio is looking healthier and we are more than happy to re-subscribe this year.
Debbie Kellett, Freerange Investment Club

I started using wise-owl.com 3 years ago and my personal portfolio has yielded 78% profit over that period. After one year with wise-owl.com, I committed our self-managed superannuation fund to share trading and after 2 years we were 25% up.
Morris Hinch

I have been using the wise-owl Equities Reports for about two years now. I am only a small investor and know very little about the Australian Stock Market. I browse the financial pages of newspapers and I deal with several publicly listed companies in the business I run. So, when it comes to committing hard earned savings to any listed company, I have little real 'form' to rely on. Getting tips from wise-owl.com is like getting horse racing tips from Ken Callander. You guys aren't always right, but you follow the form of companies 24 hours a day and a lot more often than not come up with winners. I see wise-owl.com as a better value for money option than a stock broker.
Ian Crawford

I have been a subscriber of the wise-owl reports since December 2005 and although it is early days, I have found the content and analysis to be excellent. Over the period the recommendations made in a lot of cases have achieved very good short term results. Naturally, the subscriber needs to decide what fits his or her investment profile; however, I would have no hesitation in recommending the wise-owl.com reports as an excellent investment tool to assist in the decision-making process.
Danny Gotti

After evaluating a number of newsletters I became a subscriber to wise-owl.com over two years ago. I am a fairly conservative investor, but despite keeping a significant percentage of my portfolio in cash, I exceeded the ASX200 gains in both years - last year by nearly 100%. It's not practical to buy on every recommendation, so I apply my own criteria to the selections, and the rigorously follow the stop and profit loss suggestions. Controlling losses and protecting profits really does seem to work. The staff at wise-owl.com are particularly responsive to issues and questions I raise, which is critical given the importance of the information they provide.
Russell Hawkins 

I have been investing in the Australian Market over the past ten years with mixed results. Since joining wise-owl.com I have been really impressed with the concise weekly reports. My business commitments allow limited time for research. Your reports give me an efficient way to participate. My investing has been passive most of the time, and a present our 'Owl Portfolio' is showing a 44.5% gain for the last twelve months. I can see when I am actively trading my gains can be much greater. I am relying on working with your team for many years to come
John Ainsley 

Wise-owl.com has been well worth the investment. The recommendations, the reasoning behind them, the fundamental and technical analysis and setting of price points provides an excellent basis from which to trade or longer term invest in wise-owl's selections of both equities and derivatives. Working from their weekly updates, I recovered my yearly subscription within a few trades and retained a portfolio of well performing smaller caps. Without wise-owl.com's reports I would never have heard of some of the companies being tracked and would have been hard pressed to find any other research reports on them. Ultimately I think the proof in the value that wise-owl.com provides for anyone comes at renewal time. After my initial one year subscription I've now taken up a two year offer for both the equities and derivatives reports.
Rai Navakas 

I would like to thank the wise-owl team for all the help that I have received from them. I've been a member for over two years and things just keep getting better. I had a lot of success with Senatas and I'm on my way with another 2 stocks that wise-owl.com recommended. I've been a member for over 2 years and I'm very happy. Keep up the good work wise-owl. I look forward to many happy years investing with you.
Wayne Moule 

I am pleased to say that since subscribing to your wise-owl.com newsletter my profits have improved. I am grateful to your guys and research team for providing this excellent report. If I may add, I have found the accuracy and the reliability of the report unbelievable. For the record, I have renewed my three year subscription just to ensure you of my confidence of your outstanding efforts in producing good research and services. Congratulations to all of you on the exemplary work done!
Ah Kiat Ang 

Wise-owl.com combines both a fundamental analysis with technical information which I have found useful unlike other market specialists who provide one but not both outlooks in recommending a stock. The fact stocks are available on a Sunday before the Market opens is advantages however trying to purchase is a challenge in itself especially in this current market. In the trial period of two weeks I was able to cover annual costs for wise-owl.com yearly subscription. I have since purchased a three month subscription again I have recouped my costs and will extend for further 12 months"
Ian Woods 

I have been using wise-owl for just over a year now & have had mostly good results in my share trading: however achieved two amazing results. On the recommendations of wise-owl.com, PCG was bought on the 13/12/04 for.455 doubled up in March 2005 @ .53 resulting profit was 95.95% in 14.5 months (annualised 79.4% p.a). And I bought AND on 21/7/5 @ .17 & a second small parcel through a Share Purchase Plan bought @ .155 resulting profit was 234% (annualised is 312%p.a). Also, it helps greatly if you follow a trading plan that includes money management. I have also been using their derivatives report to add some confidence to my Options trading system & have had reasonable & improving results with this approach.
Barbara Muller

I am being selective with the stocks bought, running them through another program I have, to determine whether to buy or not. I have missed a couple of good ones (SGX and PSA) but the three I have bought are all in the money to the tune of around $4000 and the fourth bought an hour ago is up $80 so, I guess I've paid for the sub and won't be able to complain.
Frank Lockhart 

I initially subscribed to Investment Wise which has now become wise-owl.com. The investments I have made from your recommendations have increased about 30% (not including Dividends). I thoroughly recommend this service to those who want to increase their portfolios with minimal risk.
Matt Laws

I have been very satisfied by the number of new opportunities presented by the team at wise-owl.com throughout my time as a subscriber. Whilst not all stocks recommended by wise-owl.com suit my personal style of investing, all of the stocks were I have undertaken further analysis and made a decision to buy have out-performed both the market and my expectations.
Ashley Cox

I have been a member of the equity report with wise-owl.com for the past 2 years and made a respectable profit in that time - so much so that I have now resubscribed for the next 3 years at a discounted rate for that time frame. One lesson I have learned in this period is that you must protect your investment and profit by setting a stop loss action with your broker before things change direction. I only wish I had enough capital at this stage to cover every recommendation put forward by wise-owl.com. I would have no hesitation in recommending wise-owl.com to any would-be investor or novice as long as they followed wise-owl.com's risk management program.
Ron Pearson 

One does not have to think using wise-owl's advice. Just follow their recommendations, some you lose on but the stop-losses protect most of your capital... but it is those to which you gain that really make the money.
Graham Anderson 

The reports are concise easy to comprehend and over the last twelve months very reliable. Looking forward to the team staying "on the money" in the future so I can retire early.
Ian Poupard 

I have been with wise-owl.com for the past 12 months and I have been very happy with the recommendations and the resulting returns, having made 34% profit on my starting capital over the year. I had previously been a member with another newsletter prior to subscribing to wise-owl.com and had only managed to make gains of around 10%. I have had no hesitation in subscribing for a further 12 months and look forward to another profitable year with wise-owl.com.
Paul Cervenak 

I have subscribed to wise-owl.com since June and have found the derivative report extremely outstanding. I have used it for option trading by modifying its recommendation. My first modified dividend trading approach produced 17% profit in 4 days, while the other modified trading approach produced 97% profit in 2 weeks. It more than pays for the annual fee. Subscribing to wise-owl.com has been very profitable.
Karling Khoo 

Wise-owl.com - bloody Brilliant, two days after I renewed my membership and I have already made $1190 on my derivative report!
Rui Yu 

As a registered daily trader I was sceptical of the value of wise-owl.com's weekly newsletter. However, in the four months since I joined I have found the service, support and advice excellent. I have lost on only one trade - my first - and have made, after deducting brokerage, over 35%. Here are some of the details of my trades:

My first trade was SMC Gold. I entered on August 22 as a spec in the August 21 newsletter at .135 and sold on a trailing loss on August 25 for .125 - a loss of nearly 8%. Ironically my charts told me to enter on July 27 at .07!!! I entered Webjet on Sept 12 at .37 after a Hold message. I left on a floating loss trigger on September 30 at .47. On my $10000 investment I made, after brokerage, a profit of over 25%. (I wonder how many of your clients went in on your advice on July 11?). The other winner was IRN which I bought at .46 on October 10. I left on a floating loss trigger on November 9 at .54. On my $10000 investment I made, after brokerage, a profit of nearly 20%. My biggest winner has been SEN which I entered on a Chart alert on October 13 at .36. I nearly sold when it hit .60 but I will stay with a floating loss trigger. My latest win was with PLA. My charts had me in on September 6 at .13 and out on October 9 at .205. I went back in October 13 at .22.
Owen Burgan (November 2005)

The wise-owl.com Equities Report is very useful to me because it is one of the few reports that covers small growing companies where potential returns can be much greater. The concise weekly reports are ideal for busy people that have limited time and just want to know simply and quickly which companies to buy. The report summarises both fundamental and technical issues in an easy to understand format before recommending a stock. Reports and recommendations are one thing, but most investors would be more interested in whether their bank balance is increasing. I can personally say that the equities report has allowed me to achieve returns which have paid back the subscription price many times over in the last 12 months and I have no problem in recommending the report.
George Karkale

I have been a subscriber for two and a half years and I am quite pleased with the report. Admittedly this has been a good period for equities, but I have been able to better than the market over this period with little prior knowledge of the stock market (30% return last year, 20% the year before). I have looked at other tip sheets, but what makes wise-owl.com unique, I think, is its ability to pick small and mid cap stocks which are about to take off, for example Mount Gibson with a 300% return in just over two months, or Ainsworth 120% in 6 weeks. Also they show you how to manage a portfolio to balance the risks with small stocks. I have avoided any large losses which has undoubtedly contributed to my good returns.
Phillip Brown

Being an active share trader for many years and doing quite well at it, I didn't think I needed another avenue of obtaining share recommendations. Thanks to the persistence of one of the wise-owl.com telephone staff I decided to take up a subscription, but I must say I did it without expecting anything major to occur. Well, I was pleasantly surprised! In my second week I bought shares in a wise-owl.com recommendation (AGI) and I made a 60% profit within a 2 week period! That has paid for my subscription two times over. Keep up the good work wise-owl. I look forward to many more profits.
Alex Trikolas

As a newcomer to the stockmarket I needed as much help as possible. When I found out about wise-owl.com I looked at the newsletter and studied it very closely. It was easy to understand and follow. With limited funds to invest I had to be careful about which stocks I bought. Wise-owl.com played a significant role in my decision making which has resulted in good profits. I would recommend wise-owl.com to any investor.
Steve Thomas

I just want to thank you for the great job you are doing and to say that I find your newsletter excellent! I started subscribing in February of this year and began buying shares in June. I don't expect instant results but so far am VERY pleased with how they are going. I have to say that the more I learn about the sharemarket the more I appreciate the service wise-owl.com offers - the risk management strategy, overall recommendations and comprehensive service. At this stage I'm only using the section for novices but there is plenty more for more advanced traders, which I hope to use one day!
Cheryl McDowell

Many thanks for your newsletter as my subscription has been profitable. Not all punts have been successful but then that is to be expected given the nature of the beast. Any losses have been kept to a minimum and the gains have outstripped them by a very comfortable margin. I shall eagerly await Sunday mornings for the months to come.
Steve Thomson

I've subscribed to many popular share-tipsters over the years with limited success. Over the past 2 years I have found that wise-owl.com has an uncanny knack of picking winners. I only wish I had enough money to invest in all of them. Keep it up, guys.
Sheldon Lipschitz

I have been a subscriber with wise-owl.com for over 12 months and during that time have made many successful trades, plus have kept some suggested stocks for a longer time frame. During this period my share portfolio has grown by approximately 20% from the stock picks and I have also learnt to trade warrants and call options from the derivatives section of the newsletter. If you are looking for education and advice about the stockmarket, wise-owl.com is a great place to start.
Dallas Rogers

I subscribed to wise-owl.com a year ago for around $2 per day which was a bargain when compared to the 10% I have returned from the recommended stocks by the wise-owl team.
