Investment Research Provides Real Answers

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. 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.

Based on facts, My Strategic Forecast offers really valuable investment research. They take many factors into account besides economics when compiling their investment information. A mild storm season was predicted for the Atlantic by meteorologists, as one example. My Strategic Forecasts stock newsletter predicted a slightly lower return for home improvement companies after taking this information into consideration. They also mentioned that a mild season is usually followed by an active one. As a result, I held onto my stock, because I wanted to see what next years hurricane season would bring. They were absolutely 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.
