I'm writing this on April 17th, 2026 and the SPX has just rallied from 6300 to 7100 in thirteen sessions. SPY is up over 12% and I wouldn't expect any manager to time that perfectly or catch that whole move but Hedgeye Asset Management has four ETFs; HGRO, HECA, HEFT, and HELS. HGRO is the only one with a positive return in that period. The other three are all down over 4% and that just makes me feel like there is something off with their process. I like and respect Keith but the proof is in the performance.

I did a 6 month (total $6.) trial subscription to Hegeye's "The Early Look" and I appreciated seeing what market segments and sometimes ETFs were in bullish or bearish configuration. There is a LOT of macho bragging by CEO Keith about how he's nailing it every day. Maybe in an expensive service from Hedgeye someone could copy his moves if they had a very large account and were on top of it minute by minute. There is also a lot jargon, Hedgeye acronyms, and insider analytical terms that take a long time to get used to, esp. for a small retail investor without an economics degree. Overall, I got value out of my trial but didn't renew.

I agree with some comments made by Jeff C and Investor. While the overall investment process seems to make eminent sense, Hedgeye will indicate one action in one service and then contradict it in another--or, as he did w/ NatGas a few weeks ago, sell his position, not tell you to sell in Real Time Alerts, and then tell you the next morning when the security has crashed 15%. No response from Customer Service when I inquired what happened. Also, he'll make a round trip for 1 or 2 percent profit, notify you of it, but within minutes the price has moved so that it it impossible for you to execute at the recommended price. My greatest success by far has been in following their recommendations for shorts, not longs.

Overall their risk management approach seems sold. But I have been left ¨holding the bag¨¨ on positions that shows long or short in one service, such as ETFs, but then Keith announces on the show that he exited the position a day or two earlier for a (albeit small) profit. It requires very active trading for thin profits in a range. You will either like or dispise his arrogance, I find it refreshing to the journalist entertainers on most media.
