Investment U’s Mission

Alexander Wissel, Editor in Chief, Investment U

We get many interesting reader comments here at Investment U. We see our fair share of positive and not-so-positive comments.

One of our favorite comments recently suggested that if a man goes to a surgeon for advice, the surgeon suggests surgery. The reader hypothesized that, as an investment site, the fact we continue to recommend investing in the stock market – even during this downturn – places us in the same category as a surgeon.

First of all, it’s an honor to be grouped in with surgeons. Secondly, the reader seems to have missed the entire point of what we do here.

The goal of Investment U is to give you impartial, no-nonsense advice on how to build long-lasting wealth.

Our mission is to analyze and discuss all the important financial tools at your disposal. And to make sure, too, that you use them effectively to jump-start your net worth, cut your investment costs dramatically, reduce your risk profile and, most importantly, achieve and maintain total financial independence.

And it works.

Our experts and analysts don’t pack up shop simply because it’s been a bad day, month or year on the market. Your portfolio doesn’t stop working, any neither do we. And regardless of the environment, there are still stocks and securities worth investing in.

Our four pillars of wealth strategy is designed to reduce your risk and increase your returns. It’s based off a Nobel Prize theory in economics. Having the correct strategy makes sure that a little loss, doesn’t turn into a catastrophic loss.

In addition to a proper asset allocation and diversification, you can also find comfort in our trailing stops strategy.

And look around all you like, you’ll be hard pressed to find a strategy for selling on most of the Wall Street establishments. Not every investment can be a winner, and having a system in place for dealing with these is crucial.

So will we recommend you put your head in the sand and pray for a bull market? No. Will we continue to offer some of the best ideas on what you can do about whatever comes your way? You bet. So keep your comments and suggestions coming, and we’ll keep putting out our world-class ideas (like the Oil Contango).
