I paid $75 for a 'premium' stock picks forum that just recycled old news

I joined the 'Alpha Edge' forum last quarter thinking I'd get early trade ideas. It was just a guy posting articles from Bloomberg and CNBC hours after they were public, with his own basic take added. I lost about $200 trying to follow two of his 'sure thing' tips before I quit. Has anyone found a forum that actually gives real, timely analysis?

Ugh my buddy had the same thing happen with a crypto group. Paid like fifty bucks for a discord that just reposted CoinDesk headlines a day late. I mean it's wild what people charge for.

Wait, they charged fifty bucks for that? @piper175, that's honestly worse than just taking the money and running. At least a scam is fast. Making someone pay to get old news is a special kind of lazy grift. It's like selling someone a newspaper from yesterday and acting like you did them a favor. The nerve some people have to set up a paywall for free information is just amazing.
