We found IBD when we first started becoming more active in managing our family investments. We have utilized all of the different IBD services at one point or another and found them all useful for the stage we were in. We have now been an IBD customer for 4 years. We have learned so much with the IBD tools, articles, stock lists, Marketsmith, the IBD coaches, the IBD podcasts, IBD services. I would highly recommend IBD to beginners and also to those who are professional because just being a part of conversations helps to keep perspectives open and also provides points of views that I may not think of. A valuable tool for us has been IBD live each day, helps kick off the day with experts talking about the market and stocks at opening, perfect for contemplating ideas and figuring out who you are as a trader.
