INVESTools: Would love feedback/ info/ experience with it.

Well if she had intended on returning she most likely won't now. Ah well... it's a simple thing to google answers... and investing isn't really all that complicated... it's really not much more than common sense more often than not... I went into the financial business with no education or experience (in that area... I have a minor in economics, but that's about the only thing relative... ), in fact other than what I picked up from my family and my own investing which at the time wasn't much... I've either always had a natural knack for it or else I was just lucky... I'm not exactly a Warren Buffet (he became one of the wealthiest people in the world with no prior investment experience and very little knowledge), mind you... and certainly not assets-wise... if I live long enough and if things go as well as they have been... I just might hit the 10 or 11 figures he makes annually.

How to make a million dollars?

Write a book on how to make a million dollars, then get lots and lots of people to buy it. $ $

Leave the checkbook and credit cards at home!
if it's legit they certainly won't need to get anything before you've had the chance to think it over. They wouldn't consider that sound investing would they?

Hi,
One of the reasons I don't come to FG very often is I find it difficult to navigate the site.
I know I must sound like a dummy for saying that ... but I just have a lot of problems trying to see previous messages & posts.

After I went to the Intro to InvestTools I realized it wasn't something that I wanted to spend all THAT much time being involved in.
They make it seem like it's very easy to invest in the right stocks and sell at the right time ... but back in the 90's, when you could throw a dart at the stock page and wherever it landed U could make money ... I got caught when the .com bubble burst and lost almost everything.
So I'm not sure about my confidence in going back in the stock market, nor does it capture my interest enough to devote that much time to it ... which you prob have to do, to make any REAL money.

It sounds like you really enjoy having this as a main focus in your life, and thusly you are successful at it.
I think you have to have a passion for something to be really successful ... and my passion for watching numbers all day is just not THERE!

Don't know about the US but here if it is a limited company I can go to companies house and download their accounts and find out who the directors are etc. I would be very surprised if there were not something similar in the states. Why don't you ask the companby itself? it's hardly the kind of thing they would keep secret.

[talk2me]

I took all of your advice ... I went ... I listened ... I left.

I didn't buy into their program!

Thanks guys ...
(been having plumbing problems & sorry it's taken me so long to reply.)

Be Well ... ALL

I saw their ad on TV today (Investools). It was hypnotic and seductive. Anyone would like to be able to just learn a few simple rules and turn their investing into proven money makers.

What's most seductive about it is the "appearance" that all you have to do is look at their computer models and they will tell you when to buy and sell.

Such a scenario is just plain impossible.

Investors who do serious searches on the Internet and even professional investors have long since realized that there is no magic.

Even if you are amazingly skilled, you can lose bigtime. Not too long ago, some hedge fund managers lost enormous amounts of money on tech stocks. These were people with PH.Ds in mathematics! They had the timerity to think that their superior "brilliance" and genius would win, even though nearly all assets were in one location type.

The REAL investor's schema is asset allocation models. The statistics bear that out. With asset allocation systems, you don't have to try to "guess" when a stock or mutual fund will tank.

This is no magic tool. It just takes into consideration what the Markets have done for the last 80 years.

It's also a bit boring. You won't get "juiced up" by huge, unexpected wins and hit the tank with huge unexpected losses.

Look up Asset Allocation investment systems on the Internet. You can purchase some excellent low-fee AA funds that are pre-designed to fit the asset allocation model.

Then, sit back and make some changes according to your age bracket.

Most Asset Allocation models produce about a 7-10% return over a long period of time. The less conservative ones will do better, but have a higher standard deviation and in down markets will tank more.

Real, statistical research indicate that for most investors the AA model of 70% stocks and mutual funds, and about 30% fixed asset investments work best.

Whenever there are periods of relatively well sustained market gains, "Day Trading" type programs open up with huge promises.

Even though Investools would not describe itself as "day trading" the issue still remains that they encourage their students to "over-trade."

During the sell off after 9/11, I resisted the urge to sell off everthing. That was a hugely profitable decision, but it took real determination and courage to avoid reading the newspapers and letting them control my behavior.

A well managed asset allocation program will exist through both bull and bear markets. And, you will be in a position to see your investments recover well in preparation for the next Wall Street cycle.

Save your money, invest it, but not in "Investools."
