I subscribed to Hegdeye for almost 2.5 years. Consistent subscription to The Macro Show and on and off RTA, RR, and The Call. I want to be fair and say that as a young retail investor, I learned some good disciplines from Hedgeye but a few things led to me ending my subscriptions. 1. The way the products are designed: My opinion is you'll need to subscribe to the whole package or at least several products to be successful, not just one or two products. If you don't, you'll have to get used to missing information. I found myself hearing “I mentioned that in the Early Look!” or “You won’t get that if you’re not a Pro subscriber!” It became frustrating. From a business model perspective, I understand, but I couldn’t afford all of them.2. Hedgeye doesn’t seem to adjust their approach if proven wrong: Since subscribing they have been very late to Quad transitions. This seems to occur coming out of Quad 4. It occurred in 2019 and 2020. I missed out on a lot of gains remaining in Quad 4 while the market was transitioning. There’s obviously things I could have done better, but this is one thing I’m surprised Hedgeye hasn’t adjusted in their process –> better transitioning from quads. 3. Lastly, I just don’t care for Keith’s public persona: I’ve recommended Hedgeye to friends over the years and they can’t get past Keith. I could put up with his personality due to the info they provided, but recently It became too much. I don’t know anything about Keith personally and his coworkers/employees may love him. Sadly, the way he comes across on The Macro Show and Twitter is embarrassing, quarrelsome, and easily provoked. I've seen him attack other successful, humble investors online just for questioning or trying to engage. It's also common to see him block subscribers that ask honest questions about the process.
