One of the latest teasers floating around the internet is by Marc Lichtenfeld for what he calls "The Perfect Retirement Business". But what is it? How can you get in on this opportunity?... and more importantly... Is "The Perfect Retirement Business" a scam?
Upon first coming across the teaser I knew it likely wasn't going to be what it seemed to be. These sorts of opportunities are always misleading, which is why it's a good thing you are here reading this review now.
In this review we'll be going over what the heck this "The Perfect Retirement Business" opportunity really is so that you actually know whether or not it's something you want to get involved with.
Let's begin...
The Teaser
There might be multiple teasers for this opportunity, but the main one out there right now starts out talking about how some "Florida Man Reveals His Secret to Collecting an Extra $1,038 Every Week"... which he calls "The Perfect Retirement Business"...
Upon first glance the opportunity sounds amazing... you can collect an extra $1k per week and it only takes "less than four hours per week" of work...?
But then again... it sounds like it could be a little bit too good to be true.
Like most teasers of this nature, the information provided is very vague.
Apparently it "involves a special kind of cash-generating 'pastime'" where you can "rake in" the money...
And supposedly all it takes is "a few clicks of your mouse"!
But how are we supposed to believe what they say when they show fake pictures??..
That's right... the pictures shown above, which are supposed to be of people who are making money with this opportunity, are actually fake.
I had my suspicions and so I decided to do a reverse Google image search, in which I found that they are stock photos. As you can see, the first image is from the popular Shutterstock website...
But enough with the teaser and the misleading information it provides. We want to know what this opportunity really is... so let's get to it...
What Is "The Perfect Retirement Business" Really?
Towards the end of the teaser things start to become a little more clear, but the information provided is still fairly vague and confusing.
In a nutshell, "The Perfect Retirement Business" is an investment opportunity in which you can follow Marc Lichtenfeld's investment recommendations and collect dividend checks on a regular basis.
The checks that they talk about people collecting are nothing more than dividend checks. It's not like this is some secret new source of income like the teaser leads one to believe... and NO, this is NOT like having a second source of Social Security checks (they say it is in the teaser!).
BUT... the catch to this whole thing is that in order to get Marc's investment recommendations and collect these checks you first have to buy into his paid newsletter subscription service (more on this in a second).
Who Is Marc Lichtenfeld?
Marc Lichtenfeld is an investment analyst that has been featured on CNBC, Fox Business, The Wall Street Journal and more. He has studied the market for over two decades, starting out as at a trading desk at Carlin Equities and eventually moving up to a senior analyst position at Avalon Research Group.
Besides that, he is also an author, with his book "Get Rich With Dividends" winning the 2016 Book of the Year award by Institute for Financial Literacy and receiving great reviews on Amazon.
His main job at the moment seems to be with The Oxford Club, in which he is a chief income strategist that writes for The Oxford Income Letter.
The Newsletter You're Being Lured Into
You guessed it!
The newsletter being promoted here is Marc Lichtenfeld's The Oxford Income Letter, just mentioned above.
This newsletter, of course, is focused around providing investment recommendations for dividend stocks. Stock recommendations, alerts, and updates are provided so that even people without experience can follow along and make good investments.
What you get as a subscriber includes:
- Monthly issues of the in-depth newsletter which will focus on a new recommendation(s)
- Weekly updates on the current recommendation and what the market is doing
- Alerts on when to buy/sell, which can come at anytime.
*For more information you can read our review on The Oxford Income Letter
The whole "Perfect Retirement Business" thing isn't actually included in the core subscription service... it is a "bonus report".
The bonus report being teased here is called "Start Collecting Weekly Payouts With the Retirement Cash Calendar", and it is in this report that Marc Lechtenfeld goes over the investment opportunities that he calls "The Perfect Retirement Business".
The report is promoted as being "free", but of course you must purchase a subscription to The Oxford Income Letter before you can get this "free" report.
Price
The price ranges from $49 for the Basic Subscription to $129 for a Standard Subscription. However, the $79 for the Premium Subscription is a discounted price and this actually provides the most, making it the most popular.
*These prices are per year. Subscriptions are renewed automatically unless cancelled.
Ratings/Reviews
Overall the ratings/reviews for this newsletter are fairly good. Of course you will find some negative reviews from people who have lost money on recommended investments, which is bound to happen because not every recommendation is a winner, but generally speaking the reviews aren't too bad.
For example, on Stock Gumshoe it has a 3 out of 5 star rating over all and slightly over a 3 star rating for investment performance, which isn't that bad considering the fact that people are much more likely to leave reviews from negative experiences than positive ones.
Is It a Scam?
No, this is not a scam... just a little bit of misleading marketing material, that's all. This kind of misleading lure is actually pretty common when it comes to investment opportunities.
Here at LegendaryWallet.com I've reviewed plenty of misleading teasers... American Superpower Checks, Mortgage Reimbursement Checks, Weekly Paycheck Indicator, etc.
But... although the teaser and lure is misleading... The Oxford Income Letter, which is the point of this whole thing, does provide real value and is a legitimate investment newsletter service.
Conclusion & Final Thoughts
Okay, quick recap:
- "The Perfect Retirement Business" is just a teaser for an investment opportunity to collect dividend checks from normal investments
- How to get in on this opportunity is outlined in a "free report", but you first have to subscribe to The Oxford Income Letter
Should you subscribe? This is a question you will have to answer for yourself.
I hope this review provided some clarity so that you can make a better and more informed decision.
