Is moneymorning.com Safe?

My opinion of the site is better than most. I don't think it's an out-and-out scam and I think the people writing the investment articles are legitimate. I have subscribed to a couple of their entry-level newsletters and they were OK but not great. On the downside the marketing of their premium services/newsletters/investment advisories is sleazy, with misleading emails making wild claims about getting rich quick. Like most of the newsletter industry offering some free content, you get the bad and the good.

popunder from unrelated ***** article. somehow got around my popup filter. page that came up had click-bait styled headline. Content was not evaluated because browser crashed soon after. I don't know if it was related but that is rare and this was the only tab open in that window

I saw a "special report" dressed up to look like news, but in fact, was a shill for somebody's new book. Lots of fearmongering about the economy, lots of graphs and charts, and "government secrets" revealed, but no hard support. All the "evidence" was in this guy's book. (He never did explain how he was revealing "top secret information from US intelligence agencies" on a public broadcast and in a published book.). I kept thinking tha the whole thing reminded me of a Tony Robbins infomercial.

I came across moneymorning.com by following a link entitled "Obamacare: 20 States Including Texas Threaten to Secede". This headline-sounding link was next to "Make $1000's Per Day with..." and "50 Best Pizzas in America", but what struck me was that the wording strikes a current tone, as if perhaps the Healthcare Insurance Reform debate has experienced resurgent extremism from the opposition, similar to that which happens at the start of some new, polarizing event. So I followed the link mainly to check the date of the article - doing so helps one verify relevance, at least. The link goes to a page entitled "Americans Ready to Kill over Obamacare (Must See Video" [sic], authored by the nebulous Money Morning Staff Reports, has no article date, and exposes itself as amateur in the very first line. The article continues to make statements without citing sources and manifests itself to be another unimaginative fear-advert to sell books and services that both Liberals AND Conservatives would do well to avoid. The authors of this site are acting within their protected freedoms to express their opinions and to pursue their business, but are doing so in a sleazy way. My WOT rating would normally not be quite as negative as this, except that the intent to "game the system" here in WOT is all too obvious with spam on the part of "staff members" below.

Site promoted with shill reviews. posted from "them". Misleading "news site" where it's one sided political "text" is used to "sell" their "money making program". Where in only a "few" months YOU CAN MAKE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FROM THEIR ""GET RICH QUICK SCHEME""!!! Everyone will be making soooo much money that they need to "Sell" a subscription to their paper letter! So "You" can make thousands...
