Investment Research Provides Real Answers

By Lilia Germann

I have been actively participating in my financial well-being by making calculated decisions regarding my investment purchases. When I first became an investor, my activity was limited to participation in a 401K program and several CD purchases. My co-worker advised me to go see a financial planner that she was dating, and I received life-changing advice. I was told that my investment strategy, as it stood, would not allow me to retire. I could only count on earning approximately $400 per month from my investments if I were to retire at 65.

I was shocked and afraid when I heard this news. Based on this advice, I knew I had to change my investment strategy. After this, I began working with an investment brokerage; they started providing me with 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. Another problem was that their research was posed only at very 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. Only a lack of knowledge would cause the investment brokerage to be that conservative.

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. - 23196
