The Worst Company I’ve Ever Evaluated – And It’s Not Even Close
I don’t write negatively about companies often.
Over the six – plus years of this site, and more than 11 years learning about finance and investments, I can recall only a few times off the top of my head which I list below for reference.
- Koss Is A Grossly Overvalued Dying Company That Has Major Management Concerns
- Iconix Brand Preliminary Analysis – Case Study Part 1
- Iconix Brand – The Worst Company I’ve Ever Seen – Case Study Part 2
This is out of thousands of investments I’ve researched from all over the world.

But this isn’t to say I haven’t researched other bad ones because I have…These are just the ones so bad that I’ve written articles about them here.
One main reason I don’t write negative pieces about companies is because I don’t ever short investments.
Another reason I don’t talk about bad companies often is because of the preliminary checklist I developed several years ago that helps me eliminate 99% plus of these terrible investments within seconds of finding them.
This allows me to spend more time on potentially good to great investments instead of wasting time.
But some do fall through the cracks like the two above…And others I’m asked to look at by others.
This latter version is how this gem of awful illustrated in – depth in the video below fell into my lap.
The Worst Company I’ve Ever Evaluated – And It’s Not Even Close
I don’t say things like the above lightly…
I like to trust most companies and managers, and when in doubt I generally give them the benefit of it… That is unless they’ve proven otherwise.
For Investview Inc. (INVU), it took me less than 5 minutes of looking at them on a preliminary basis for this company to lose all benefit of the doubt. And EASILY became the worst company I’ve ever evaluated.
They were so bad on a preliminary basis I didn’t even get into their financial reports, which I guarantee, are even worse than the preliminary numbers.

Why are they so awful?

Quick Note Before The Video
If you’re invested in Crypto you need to watch this video and it should scare the hell out of you to do more due diligence on your “investment” in this space.
In the 23 – minute video above, I detailed…
- How I learned about this company
- Why I looked at it at all
- Why this investment should scare ALL crypto investors into more due diligence
- Why this company is so awful
- Why this is BY FAR the worst investment I’ve ever evaluated
- And more…
I hate, hate, hate telling people they should avoid something or they’re making a mistake.
I get anxious just thinking about doing this.
Why?
I’m a huge believer in letting people make their own mistakes after you give them some advice – if you choose to give them some.
However, this company was so awful I felt I had a moral obligation to advise this individual who asked me to look at it to stay away from this company.
This is why I’m sharing this with you today…
If I can use my knowledge and skills to help others I feel I have to, and in this case I feel I have to share this with you to warn you about this horrendous company.
I hope you share this with anyone you care about who is either involved with or involved with a company similar to this in the crypto space because this is going to end horribly at some point as I outlined in the video above.
As always, do extreme due diligence and take emotion out of the equation when looking at any investment. But especially when dealing with speculative investments like these.
As of now though, let’s give congratulations to Investview for being BY FAR the worst company I’ve ever evaluated after evaluating thousands of companies.
I don’t see this honor changing hands anytime soon.
In short…
Stay as far away as you can from this company.
I’d love to hear your thoughts about this in the comments section below… Am I too harsh on this company? Or am I “doing the right thing” by telling you and others about it?
