Rothman Group Las Vegas Florida Michael J. Rothman Michael Rothman Problems with Rothman Metals??? Internet
I am a former employee of the Rothman Group. If you are doing business with them and have any questions or concerns please contact me. I am very familar with the business practices of the Rothman Group and the owner Michael J. Rothman.
I worked for Michael Rothman as an independent contractor for almost two years (known him for at least 5) and can certainly share some insight on what really goes on in this now 2 man shop. If you are a current client and feel like something just doesn't seem right....it probably isn't.
I am sure the owner will respond with his own version of how he runs a business as if he were on Wall Street but i assure you I will only provide you with the cold hard facts about this "company". I know by doing this I am sure to receive many personal attacks on my character and he will probably say i am a disgruntled employee in order to save his own face. This unfortunately is the norm for this business....ask Michael what happened when he left the last firm he was with (Lloyds Assett Management which is out of business).
My intention is only to help and assist anyone still working with the Rothman Group to help you find a plan to exit with at least some of the money you invested. Remember these types of firms are unregulated, the only people that make money are the owners.....when everyone is losing money the owner is still collecting interest and every transaction comes with a hefty spread...anywhere from 3-5% depending on the mood of the owner.
I will not even stoop to personal attacks, as ones personal life is their own business, whether its dealing with girlfriends, substance abuse, or family drama.....Lord knows we alll have it. Anyways i am looking forward to speaking with you and sharing with you my knowledge of the industry as well as the Rothman Group in particular. I am especially interested in speaking with individuals that came throught the leads he purchased from Zack's Research. I have to run for now....but i promise there is more to follow!!

I received a phone call from Michael Rothman asking me if I had received his brochure. I was caught by surprise and couldn't remember if I had since I had been very busy with important issues. On looking at my mail from the past week I found the information he sent but I still couldn't remember his company. I see now that when I was looking into buying bullion I must have filled out a request for information (including my phone number) and must have answered something on the internet that linked me to that site. All well and good, because I was interested in this service.
My talk with Michael put me on the spot because he was very forceful and seemed to assume that I was ready to send a check to him immediately. At no time did I insinuate anything of this sort. I recognized an arrogance that seemed very much out of character for any professional person with a service to sell me.
A couple weeks later (1/19/16) I received another call where the conversation included my intentions and actions I had made for investing in the money market. He ridiculed my decisions and argued with me about many things related to my choices. He was very arrogant and offensive.
I told him about his lack of consideration for me while we were discussing a potential business matter and he became even more offensive. I told him that he was 'blowing it very badly' meaning that I was not about to choose to do business with him and he became even more angry. The call ended after he had been over talking me and I mentioned how unprofessional that was. He then hung up.
The brochures are very professional looking except for a couple spelling errors that are typical of young kids who lack a proper education. I also notice that the organization of the information was not in any form that would allow anyone to gain the necessary advice I was looking for. It seemed to be a compilation of other well written documents from other sources and included a graph that appeared to come from standard business software. I am not impressed! I now see that I had also looked into some things on zacks.com and that has been spamming me ever since.
I use my gut feelings often and this situation gives me a creepy feeling, especially upon finding that RgPm is also located in Las Vegas, NV and also Las Vegas, FL. I don't know if anything about this company is ligitamete or not, but it seems that I may have saved myself from being a donar to a corrupt organization.

Still losing money with ROTHMAN GROUP?

First of all I would like to thank everyone who responded to my initial posting. Per the overwhelming requests and concerns I will explain the flaws with this type of program. The only person at the end of the day that makes money is the owners.
Outrageous Fees make it virtually impossible to make any money
Let me begin by pointing out the fees then I will give you an example of just how difficult it is to make money with this type of investment. Typical FEES you are paying with this type of invest are as follows:
goes right into the owners pocket. Now your initial investment is only worth $8750
For example if the spot price is $600 per ounce you are actually paying $630 per ounce. Some of that spread goes directly into the owners pocket. So on a $10,000 investment using 2.5 to 1 leverage you would be able to purchase approximately
40 ounces of Palladium. If you multiply 40 times $30 thats another $1200 that you have to over come with a movement in the price of palladium. Now your initial investment is worth only $7550!!!
Remember this is a unregulated industry and many companies have gone out of business leaving the clients with nothing. Don't take my word for it check it out on your own. One Florida company called Global Bullion Exchange was actually featured on 60 minutes for milking investors of almost 28 million dollars!!!!!
They still don't know what happened to all the money. If you have any questions or concerns or simply want an exit strategy give me a call and I will be more then happy to assist you. Remember these are not brokers your dealing with....they are very talented salespeople who will do anything to get your money. Ask the owners of these firms if they invest in this program and ask them
to give you a list of all the clients that have made money with them.......the list will be short....very short. Look forward to hearing from you.
