Back to the original question--has anyone subscribed to her premium content? If so, have her recommendations beaten the market on a risk-adjusted basis? That's how all the gurus should be evaluated. Otherwise, stick to her free email/interviews if you like that kind of analysis. Lyn is good at it, but I find it hard to apply to investments/trading in a robust way.
My main critique of someone like Ms.Lyn Alden is that she reminds me of all of the talking heads on financial podcasts on Real Vision, Hedge Eye, TastyLive etc. Talk so much macro like "here are the historical trends of when the Fed raised rates in the 70's" or the "supply chain" or "de-globalization", I love history, philosophy and social science as the next guy. But when it comes to trading, I prefer folks who put up tickers and performance. At least Cathie Wood you know where she stands on the daily and I can respect that. For somebody like Ms.Lyn Alden (and people like her such as Rahul Pal) who talk a big game about crypto and macro, let's see your fund performance or at least a version of it like 13-F. So I never understood the hype of people like her; to me it's all an branding exercise and make her audience feel like they are smart and subscribe to the paid newsletters... I'll take anybody who posts concrete trading journal and PnL any day over the talkin' heads.
Figures. I've seen the name before in financial media and noted how unusual it was for a girl to be carving out her own space in the finance & economics world. Turns out it's not a girl. Autogynephilia strikes again...
You are correct. I figured that out around a decade ago when several figures who seemed to call the financial crisis ahead of time said to buy guns and gold because The Big One was yet to come, as the stock market just kept chugging higher. 99% of what these gurus say is just noise, but it’s still useful to see what people are focused on.
Who insulted her? Care to share? 0retty much the only one who wrote hateful things about trensgender is you so far.

Simply one of the best brains around in my view. I hold her in very high esteem. Fantastic at breaking down nuanced and complex topics. analysis around bitcoin (not crypto) and lightning especially are stellar. No serious trader listens to an analyst for what to buy/sell next. To me great analyst increase my understanding of a topic, and she is the best currently.
No she(he) reminds me of the mutual fund advisor in my bank. LOL Whenever I ask him to recommend me a good fund to invest in that gives above-average return given my risk tolerance which they painstakingly ask me to fill out each time I want to invest my funds, all he does is regurgitate everything that I can read about all the funds that they offer without ever answering any of my questions or recommend any funds. To me, anybody can read about and can see what happened but what we want from an investment advisor/analyst is their opinion of what should we DO with what we have read and seen of what happened. It's the "Do" part that makes all the money. So maybe it's like what @BMK said, you need to pay for the premium service to find out about her(his) recommendation and opinion. If you don't pay, then you just get a regurgitation. LOL Maybe that's why that mutual fund "advisor" kept telling me he doesn't work on commission. LOL
Who cares that she/he/it is a tranny. We both know that YOU and I would fuck her given the chance. So let's not beat around her bush about it... That said, Lyn posts a lot over at SeekingAlpha for those who are interested. At least, I think she/he/it still is posting over there. Then again, Cordier used to post there regularly too...until the moment his hedge-fund blew up Niederhoffer style.
