As a follow up to my last post I wanted to comment on the Investools Tool Box, or investortoolbox as many like to call it.
While I’m negative on the quality and expenses of the Investools trading seminars their Investool Box is quite good. It pulls together a lot of data feeds on both fundamental analysis, newsfeeds as well as providing good charts.
I like the Prophet charts that they provide with the real time data feed, useful if want to do day trading or just monitor the intra day prices.
I’m not sure if you can gain access to the toolbox without 1st taking a seminar course
If you want to learn something new, different and “secret” about trading just checkout the special reports below:
I’ve just noticed that Investools have started running their infomercials again in my area for their 5 step trading system, as a past student I thought I’d post my comments on my personel experiance with them.
I’ve done the whole system, the 5 steps and also what they call the PH.D course, and overall I have to say it was pretty average but very expensive education, and here is why:
A lot of the Investools seminars I attended, including the advanced technical analysis and advanced options, were very packed, sometimes 300-400 people in 1 giant room with 1 presenter and 1 big screen. If you did not get there at 7 am to get a “good seat” you would be on the edge or at the back with a poor view
At many of the seminars that I paid for the presenters wasted a LOT of time on trival stuff like telling jokes, showing funny pictures or videos and other rubbish like making you stand up and down and saying silly affirmations
Most of the Investools material seems to be aimed to the complete beginner or noob, even what they called “advanced seminars” always wasted the 1st 1/2 to 3/4 of the 1st day on complete beginner stuff, to call them advanced seminars was a joke
I was very disappointed when I attended a seminar on advanced techincal analysis to find that the presented did not stick to the published agenda and decided to talk his own verson of trading so I never got the full training
Every seminar that I attended, even though I’d already paid a lot of money, contained a heavy sales pitch for more training, seminars, coaching or whatever they were pitching at the time, I think people in the sales industry call this a pitch fest!
In summary the I think the Investools trading training is very average to poor, is aimed at the complete beginner to advanced beginner, I don’t even think it reach’s tue intermediate level, and is VERY expensive.
Since then I’ve found that I could have learnt just about everything I got from Investools for vitually free, or for a few hundreds dollars on some well choosen online video courses.
Here is one of the courses that I bought after Investools for less that 1/10 the cost of one Investools seminar which has taught me more than just about everything at Investools, enjoy, it’s FREE

The Bank Stress Test …Do you Believe It?
Since my return from holiday, I have been scratching my head wondering why the market (in this case the S&P) has moved so high for little or no reason. The economy still appears to be very much on the defensive with unemployment rising and the business environment still on a slippery slope.
I made this video before the stress test was announced and I suspect that all of the stress test leaks have already being discounted by the market.
My new video is a follow-up from my April 14th video that I made before I left for New Zealand. If you have a few minutes, please take the time to view it. I think you will find it interesting that my observations may conflict with current market trend.
With the Obama honeymoon coming to an end, we are going to see how the markets move without government influence. There has never been a government that was able to dodge a major business cycle… and this one sure is a doozy.
As always, the videos are available with our compliments. There is not registration required.
