I started trading about 3 years ago. Over that time I have subscribed to a number of "Chat Rooms," "Stock Picking Services," and "Trade with Me," type services. That and reading many books got me no where... literally over 2 years trading with ups and downs but at the end of that time overall down (poor paying job, LOL). Then near a year ago I started with Investors.com basic subscription and at the same time abandoned all other services. Low and behold my trading started to improve as I studied the content on the site and really learned what the CAN SLIM method was all about. Shortly after IBD Live started I subscribed to that service and the breadth of knowledge coming from the team was like flood waters of information, great information. I learned a much better way to read chart patterns, the importance of volume and how very important it is to be in tune with "the market." Since then I have subscribed to SwingTrader and LeaderBoard. With all of the IBD tools and education (and in no small part a cooperative market) I have increased my trading accounts by more than 25%. I am still learning and could have done better and will do better in the future, I'm sure. Bottom line, if you are serious about learning and trading there are no better sources for the money. To get similar knowledge that the IDB team delivers you have to spend thousands of dollars for an in depth training course. Like Nike $NKE says; Just Do It!
