What our clients say

As I talk about Jon to my friends and family, I focus mostly on the fact that I've followed him for over 20 years. He gives clear investing advice in high-growth industries that make it easy for me to determine when to get in and when to get out. And on top of that he will take complicated topics and break them down in a way anyone will understand.

I have been a customer for 13 years what has kept me around is I love Jon's approach to market timing.

In the early days of emerging Internet business web sites and personal investing capabilities, I found Jon Markman and his style and acumen in using screening programs to identify stocks was very innovative for that period in time. I had followed other services but have never found anyone as knowledgeable, communicative, straightforward and honest as Jon. I continue to this day looking forward to Markman Capital daily newsletters and recommendations and I continue to make money. Thank you Markman Capital!

What I found myself doing is when I don't have that background news on and when I don't have my finger in the pie on what things are kind of happening. It annoys the hell out of me and it bothers me. I feel kind of dumb and and I feel like a victim. I feel like I'm not in the drivers seat. With the strategic advantage newsletter what happened was. I started getting and reading it and reading it and then I felt like I couldn't do without it. Really.

What appeals to me is that he just has a thoughtfulness and decree of intelligence and integrity that is unmatched in media.

It's the one thing that I read every morning.

I loved that Jon took a journalistic view on this. No analyst jargon. … I was trying to learn how to invest logically and deliberately. Using information that was available and taking my personal bias out of it. … I ended up getting a master's degree in analyzing companies. … Jon keeps me honest. I don't convince myself of alternate realities. … “I felt I might be getting boondoggled by the CNBC analyst. … Other newsletters won't tell you others' opinions. It's not a journalist's viewpoint.

He is the ultimate stock market geek. To me, Jon Markman = credibility.

What I like about Jon and the newsletter is that he eliminates emotion, just facts. And he isn't lopsided!

The bigger picture is I am a lazy investor. I don't want to find out what these companies do and I want to focus on my personal life. Every morning I read his letter and get a pulse for the market. He consolidates what is happening now. … I love investing and I love growing money. This newsletter is a great way to do this. … It’s one place to observe the latest trends of our world, whether it is the cloud, cashless payments, autonomous driving, Internet advertising… etc.. I don't know where else you would find a newsletter that covers all this in only a 5- to 10- minute read.

I thoroughly enjoyed the recommendations.

I have been a long-time subscriber, beginning in 2009. Based upon his newsletter in July 2014, I had the good foresight to invest $15,000 in Nvidia and held on ever since. With a 4 to-1 stock split that $15,000 is worth $3,456,000 as of mid-August(2024). For me, this was a stock buy of a lifetime. Getting this newsletter was certainly worth its price.

It's a part of necessity because I hear the CEO of salesforce talk about where they are taking the company and then I hear Jon's take on it and it's kind of different. Jon would have his take on it and I needed that or I felt like I was getting boondoggled by an ex-goldman sachs analyst that just needed to say something. And has a good take but Jon would source other information from people and bring that forward which is really valid. Other newsletters wont do that.

I love the lightness of it. I don't have to read a huge daily report to get my picks. A great mix of puts and calls.

The letter is informative in a way that is not over the top and I understand it. I like the dry sense of humor that creeps into the writing. The advice is generally pretty solid and works

When you made your prediction, you mentioned DIA, QQQ, and SPY, and I bought all three. I'm currently up 13%, 8%, and 10% respectively!! Thanks!

You have been great for me! Certain stocks that I wouldn't have thought about, especially Dell and Cadence Design. I just love reading your articles! Really good observations.

I just wanted to send a big Thank You for all your fine work. It's reassuring to know that an average retail investor, such as myself, can still profit in these turbulent markets from your Tactical Options recommendations. So far, your recommendations have been timely and easy to implement, not to mention profitable $$. Keep up the great work.

One of the most entertaining writers on the markets and investing. 

I recently purchased your tactical options subscription during your Black Friday specials. Everything is going good and I'm very impressed with everything. After my first 1-2 weeks of the subscription, I regret not buying the entire bundle of subscriptions.

I have bought the stocks on your list as well as a couple of others that you have mentioned such as ARM and super microcomputer and CDNS, north of 400k, so thanks for that. I have followed many newsletters over the years and most are crap, your is a winner, Thanks!

I have on paper made a lot of money on your recommendations, NIVIDIA, SUPER MICO COMPUTER , ARM... I put 100k into smci in December and it is worth 300k now.

Jon, I don't thank you enough....so, I wanted to tell you how happy I am with your Dec 11th call to pick up SMCI!! My gains are HUGE...as I picked up a large bucket (for me) at an average cost of $296 and it sits at $985 right now. WOW! So, that leads me to a question:

Any advice on when to sell....since we don't have a target set?

I'm feeling the same about DKNG (bought on your recommendation last September and up 47%); NVDA (up 92%) and AVGO (up 101%). I want to hold and reap further gains.....but I'm guessing we should take some off the table.

Thanks Joe to you and your dad! I’m a long time customer, 15+ years. You are your team at Markman Capital and an essential part of running my investment portfolio. Couldn’t do it without you all, keep up the hard work!

Thank You for the excellent service that you provide.  I can tell you it is the best I have tried.
