Let’s cut to the chase: Is Louis Navellier’s InvestorPlace platform legit? Are the Louis Navellier Portfolio Grader service, and the many newsletters offered by InvestorsPlace, worth your time and money?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The short answer is that many of these services do have value. However, for some, the investing guru’s checkered history, which I\u2019ll explain in detail in this post, may serve as a red flag \u2014 and motivation to seek out other stock research and stock-picking services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My personal take? Upon taking a deep dive into Navellier’s offerings, I\u2019ve determined that there are alternatives (many of them cheaper than Navellier\u2019s) that may be a better fit for the majority of investors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is Louis Navellier?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Louis Navellier has developed a reputation as a leading growth investor on Wall Street, managing over one billion dollars in assets from this firm in Reno, Nevada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, Navellier is known for his platform, InvestorPlace. The platform offers several services, like an investment newsletter, market analysis, and stock recommendations. Over time, Navellier and his platform have garnered substantial popularity among retail traders.<\/p>\n\n\n

How did Navellier’s storied career start? After studying at Cal State Hayward and taking a liking to statistical analysis, Navellier began developing a toolset to help identify inefficiencies in the stock market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This period would lay the foundation for what would become Navellier\u2019s lifelong pursuit of his investment philosophy: using data to uncover stocks set for above-average growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navellier gained a strong following among traders and investors following the publication of his first newsletter, MPT Review. He would eventually expand to offer the Louis Navellier Portfolio Grader, a quantitative stock ranking system that assesses equities using traditional valuation metrics, like earnings growth, sales growth, and return on equity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He would later launch additional newsletters:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
