Momentum Financial: 300 Euros for Four Months and a Dubious Track Record
A 3M share swap executed at an 8.5% discount, with short positions open in the spun-off company, put $1,500 in the pockets of Momentum Financial's paying subscribers, according to a participant. This is the kind of trade that gets celebrated. The problem arises when reviewing the rest of the portfolio: a series of stocks that, according to a list circulating among former trinc, accumulate losses between 40% and 100% in cases like Jadestones, IOG, Origin, MoneyMe, Neonode, or the so-called 'Hong Kong mops'.
Momentum Financial started as a group of investors sharing open research and is now a subscription business. The question remains: are you paying for original analysis or recycled information?
Cost of Subscribing to Momentum Financial
Fees have increased in tiers. Initially 200 euros for seven or eight months until late 2022, the price rose to 300 euros for four months as quotas closed after exceeding 150 members. This fee, defended as a result of demand, is also seen as a hidden hike: 75 euros per month for information that, according to several trinc, is available for free elsewhere.
The club's structure includes a free Discord, a podcast, and a YouTube channel. The free Discord highlights multipliers touted by its leaders: x10 on Tenaz Energy, x7 on Seascape Energy, or x4 on Villag. However, these ideas reportedly come from portals like ceo.ca, not original analysis.
The Track Record Missing from Podcasts
The list circulating among ex-trinc is unforgiving. Jadestones, -75%. IOG, -100%. Origin, -90%. MoneyMe, -99%. CSU rights, -100%. Vet, -40%. Kistos, -66%. Sérica, -50%. Orca, -15%. Kaisa and other Asian 'mops', -99%. Tianly, -80%. Powerband, -80%. Neonode, -100%. Morses, -100%. NPK, -80%. The only green note: two pence in Afrenta.
The official narrative relies on Kistos, the 3M swap, and the claim that hits outweigh misses. Critics argue the issue is information asymmetry: successes are detailed, while failures are dismissed with 'more to come'.
Who Owns the Club's Ideas?
The repeated accusation is not bad analysis, but no analysis. Ideas from Archaea, Kistos, or the 3M swap circulated openly elsewhere before being packaged as a product. The exception is a historical member who publishes their portfolio monthly with full transparency.
The counterargument is reasonable: producing two three-hour weekly programs, maintaining a Discord with over 4,000 people, and organizing events without sponsors is hard work. The debate is whether this translates to profitability for paying subscribers.
The Style that Drives Away the Audience
A recurring reason for cancellations is unrelated to returns: the jokes. Several trinc left because the banter and inside jokes were grating. The suggestion to add canned laughter summarizes the diagnosis: the lighthearted tone that once differentiated the project has become noise.
Suspicions also surround comment moderation. On YouTube, no criticisms appear, only thanks. Discrepancies vanish. Whether editorial zeal or worse, a space without dissent is poor for forming investment opinions.
Momentum Financial vs. the Rest of the Ecosystem
The paid recommendation ecosystem in Spain has its own wars. Momentum Financial is in an open feud with No Pump Allowed, accused of copying Canadian oil and gas research. The conflict reveals a market where the product is attention.
The question no subscriber answers with a number is: do they beat the index? The most honest answer is a joke: never ask a woman her age, a man his salary, or an investment community if its gurus beat the market.
With these credentials, paying 300 euros for four months of recommendations is less a financial bet than an entertainment subscription. And entertainment, like shorts, closes when it no longer pays off.
