In the past couple of weeks, as the recession has cut into traditional news and media outlets, many publishers and content generators are asking the question “Should the web be free?”
To which we reply, absolutely.
Investment U has provided its readers with fresh, new, free content for over a decade. We give actionable investment advice, education and investing ideas every day.
And we don’t plan on changing that.
Many readers ask us, “Why do we receive so many advertisements?” The quick answer is that’s how we stay open. We fund ourselves through our affiliate’s premium services that we advertise. Think of it like free radio.
The major difference is that we’re presenting investing ideas and opportunities in our advertisements – and not the services of a local plumber or smoke shop.
More importantly though, we’re offering you some of the best financial expertise outside of Wall Street. Our investing ideas aren’t conflicted by trying to get you to trade more at our brokerage, racking up large commissions, selling large blocks of our clients shares, or rolling over your 401k.
No. Quite simply, we were founded with the idea that ordinary investors, armed with the right information, can do better than many financial “professionals.” Our mission is to help our readers down the path to financial security and long-term wealth.
And it’s working.
Alexander Green, Louis Basenese, Karim Rahemtulla and our host of other experts give readers an in depth look at all aspects of the market every day – for free.
Regardless of what direction the wind is blowing with the bloated financial establishment, we’re not going to change that. We’ll continue to provide actionable investing ideas to our readers.
Investment U currently boasts over 440,000 subscribers, and we’re growing bigger by the day. If you haven’t already, I urge you to sign up for our free daily E-letter, and find out how easy and close true financial security can be.
Good investing,
Alexander Wissel

Although sometimes it’s difficult to navigate around the ads, I personally don’t mind.
For all the great information that I receive, I am more than willing to subject myself to some marketing.
