I took advantage of an offer to subscribe to your service in early April and in Mid April of this year, received and executed on the Trade Alerts to buy puts on Boeing, IWM, FXE and GLD. Today, May 16th, I followed up on the trade alert and closed the GLD put position with a return of 155%. Overall, on the remaining positions in IWM, BA and FXE I have a 17% return however that may understate the actual return as I also took advantage of your hedge recommendation and sold puts 1:1 against my positions in BA and FXE.
As a technical trader with experience in Forex and commodities, I was drawn to your newsletter first and subsequently to subscribe to your service by your global macro view of the markets and your ability to simply express where a "tradeable opportunity" exists in response to the warp and waft of the fundamentals.
As a subscriber, I have come to appreciate your bi-monthly webinar updates and your balanced commentary, market insights over the short, medium and longer term, along with a healthy dose of risk management. I understand that nobody is right 100% of the time and I appreciate your integrity in taking credit for the wins as well as the loses. Looking forward to a profitable year of trading with MHFT and certainly with the GLD put option trade, I'm off to a good start.
I think MHFT is an excellent investment for experienced individual traders and please feel free to share my comments with prospective subscribers.
Good trading and kind regards,

I just wanted to thank you for some great trades. Thanks to you, I was profitable on the (IWM) put trade and it certainly looks like the Apple credit spread will return a nice profit (the profit you defined). Your wisdom in the market has been a godsend to my portfolio and my family. You stand apart from the field in your expertise in the markets.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

My name is Julian and I am currently a finance student in Montreal, Canada. I've been reading some of the free material you've posted and I think you are dead on with your analysis. It?s really good stuff. I've been trading for 4 years and turned $3000 into $17000. It?s paying my way through college.
Wishing you continued success in 2012.

Thank you for a terrific year.? I have been managing assets for 27 years and I find your writings and work truly insightful.? I wish I had met you in 1984 (started at Merrill Lynch and then spent the bulk of my career at Bear Stearns) and let you help me shape my thoughts for all of those years.
The business has never been easy and the markets today are certainly more difficult than ever.? I look forward to your emails and the clarity they bring.? Safe travels and enjoy your well-deserved time off.

I?m only 45 days into ?Macro Millionaire? and I wanted to drop a note to say thank you. As a relatively novice trader, your perspective, analysis and trade alerts have given me the tools to show a 96% return so far. They've been a result of my taking additional risk with your ideas.
You have a great product and deliver incredible value. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I hope others realize how fortunate they are to have found you and Macro Millionaire.
Fiat Lux!

Dear John, I'm extremely passionate about markets and am already building a hedge fund at the age of 31. Please continue to be yourself and inform. I want to learn from you all I can to successfully understand the next likely moves based on your insights and reasoning. I just wish you were my uncle and could give me years of one on time to teach me how to fish. Thanks for the privilege. Please be accurate next year also! ;-).

I love it John. The analysis is great - and the trades are limited to a dozen or so vehicles I can follow. You make it so easy for us. The service continues to improve - alerts are more timely, text alerts are working nicely. My only wish is the webcasts were regularly posted same day - waiting until the next day is tough (only been a few times).
And I've had a darn good year (my first) trading. I'm up 150% on the year - from down 50% at the low (builds character right?). Retiring comfortably (and < 60) seems like a real possibility - I need 3 more years like this in the next 10. My greatest fear is you'll retire before I can, or the volatility that makes quick $ disappears.
A year into this and it's proven to be a true life-changer - one of the things I'm truly thankful for.
Kind Regards,

I've been reading your blog for a while and found it a helpful beacon in a sea of confusing and contradictory information as I try and make sense of the world (and try and make money from sense!).
Kind regards.

I have been following your trades for a while, to the tune of several hundreds of thousands in profits. Kindly sign me up to the "A" team. Even after investing for over 30 years, some as a Wall St. pro, I need help with this market. Keep up the good work.

A full double on my FXE puts means?a dancing girl for you. You deserve it! Raising a glass to the Greek Prime Minister as I type this. Thanks John. You rock!!
