My Investment Research Tool

By Lilia Germann

As an active investor, I have always sought financial well-being by making sharp, calculated investment choices. At first, I just participated in my companys 401K program, and every so often I would purchase a CD. After securing my 401K, my co-worker told me to go see a financial planner; he gave me life-changing advice. My new financial planner let me know that my current investment strategy would not be able to provide for me, financially, when I retired. I could only count on earning approximately $400 per month from my investments if I were to retire at 65.

I was terribly shocked by this news. I knew I had to make changes immediately. I started working with an investment brokerage, and they began to provide me with their investment research. Their research included financial newsletters, stock market newsletters, and investing newsletters; I actively read each one. Their research didn't provide me with enough information to apply to my investment decisions.

I thought that the investment research lacked forward-thinking. I was dismayed when I realized that their research only paid attention to US economic forces; it did not recognize other elements that could have an effect. The investment research only took a look at conservative, long-term investments. Im not a risky investor, but I dont want to miss out on a great investment just because it has a slightly higher level of risk. To me, it felt as though they only recommended those conservative investments because they were afraid to go out on a limb. That fear must have been caused by their lack of knowledge; I felt it indicated they were doing a lot of guess-work.

Due to my lack of real investment research, I began looking online for alternatives. After searching for several days I found MyStrategicForecast.com while looking for reports and forecasts.

My Strategic Forecast offers investment research that is based upon facts. They take many factors into account besides economics when compiling their investment information. For example, one year meteorologists predicted a mild tropical storm season in the Atlantic. This information was taken into account by My Strategic Forecast's stock newsletter when they predicted a slight below average return for different types of home improvement companies. They also showed that historically, an active season follows a mild one. Due to this information I decided to hold onto my stocks to see what the following years storm season would bring. They ended up being right.

By using a historical perspective, My Strategic Forecast is able to provide all the necessary information to tell where the market is headed. I was able to use their forecast abilities to gain even more and build up my portfolio. - 23200
