In a word, discipline is the key to a successful investment strategy. At Investment U we have sought to give the public some fundamental tools about how to exercise discipline to avoid financial disaster, in our Tactics & Strategies section. You will notice that we put a lot of emphasis on Trailing Stops. That's because the only thing worse than losing 25% of an investment is losing 30%, 50% or 70%. Or more!

We guide you through market indicators and how to use them. The three chapters in the Market Indicators section are critical for understanding fundamental stock market analysis.

There are some other useful tools on momentum stocks, investment risks and yield strategies and understanding annual reports.

As for the investment climate right now, it's far from cavalier. Looking out 20 years, we analyze fundamental truths of markets and come up with a real number, in Stock Market Projections.
