Date: January 20, 2026
Main Theme:
This episode is an in-depth critique and exposé of “Invest With Corey,” a self-proclaimed trading guru on YouTube. Host David Jaffee and a featured critic/reviewer dissect Corey’s credibility, trading claims, and business practices, particularly focusing on allegations that Corey is misleading his followers about both his past and his supposed financial success. The episode also lays out detailed negative feedback from former members of Corey’s Discord community and questions the legitimacy and transparency of Corey’s trades and stock picks.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Corey’s Background and Claims

• Negative Net Worth at 40:
  The critic/reviewer introduces Corey as “the biggest scam and con artist on YouTube,” referencing legal filings that show Corey had a negative net worth of -$50,000 at age 40 (00:55).

• Questionable Trading Success:
  Corey claims that followers in his Discord have made tens of thousands (even over $100,000) from his picks, especially citing recent AMD trades (02:24). The reviewer repeatedly expresses skepticism.

  “He basically fabricated almost his entire backstory... In December 2022 he filed with the court that he had a net worth of minus $50,000.” — Critic/Reviewer (00:55)

2. The Discord Experience: Unfiltered Feedback

• Member Frustration & Criticism:
  A large segment of the episode (02:47–06:31) is devoted to reading out negative testimonials from ex-members:

  • Accusations that Corey is “full of himself, also lying all the time” and a “terrible coach.”
  • Allegations of being kicked out or having comments deleted when asking for refunds or expressing criticism.
  • Complaints about a lack of guidance, transparency, and changing strategies.
  • Claims that trade idea announcements in the Discord differ significantly from those on YouTube.
  • Pricing schemes are said to be arbitrary and inconsistent, with one member citing a $5,000 fee for a year’s access, despite being promised lifetime membership.

  “It appears he uses his YouTube channel to work rope people in. Then once signed up he’s on to his next prey.” — Ex-member testimonial (05:16)

  “Most of the group appear to be consistently losing money. His trades are straight up gambling...” — Ex-member testimonial (05:45)

3. Breakdown of Corey’s Stock Picks

• Three Stock Recommendations:
  Corey introduces three stocks he claims can “surpass your full-time job income” through a $100 investment (02:09, 02:24, 07:14, 08:05). The critic calls the claim laughable clickbait.

• Stock 1 – “Server Robotics” (07:14):
  Corey touts its “third generation robot” and recent upgrades, tying it to a strategy he ostensibly teaches in Discord.

• Stock 2 – (Unspecified Name) involving “Galium Nitride (GaN)” (08:05):
  Corey describes it as a technical breakthrough, but the critic questions his trading record.

  “I would love to subpoena this guy’s trading statements…” — Critic/Reviewer (08:08)

• Stock 3 – APLD (Applied Digital) (08:42):
  Corey recommends APLD for its “massive contracted capacity with hyperscaler performance computing.”
  The critic updates that APLD’s price has actually declined since Corey’s recommendation (08:57).

  “Editing David here. And as you can see, APLD is currently trading at about $24. That means that every single one of the three recommendations that Corey made have actually lost money.” — Critic/Reviewer (08:57)

4. Assessment of Corey’s Credibility & Style

• Tactics and Self-aggrandizement:
  The critic mocks Corey’s style, imitating his self-description and trading bravado:

  “I am the profit. That’s why I was living at my mom’s place when I was over 40 years old with a negative net worth. But I’m a stock market savant. You can trust me…” — Critic/Reviewer parodying Corey (06:37)

• Compulsive Liar Accusation:
  The host and critic repeatedly urge listeners to treat all of Corey’s statements with skepticism:

  “In my opinion, Corey is a compulsive liar. If it were me, I would take everything that Corey says and automatically assume that it’s a lie.” — Critic/Reviewer (07:04)

5. Final Thoughts and Call to Action

• Community Engagement:
  David Jaffee invites listeners to share their own experiences with Corey for possible inclusion in future episodes (09:53).
