I initially purchased the Investools program with my father to split the cost of the program. We figured that with both of us trading separately we could re-coup the investment fairly quickly. So after missing the boat on one occasion to purchase Investools, we finally got an opportunity to attend a “free” two day seminar when Investools sponsored one in Scottsdale AZ. We were excited to learn as much as possible so we could get started and begin banking in on all the claims made by Investools on their infomercials and by Investools members. We attended the two day course with credit card ready and our minds prepped to take in as much information as Investools was willing to offer.

Day trading and swing trading foreign exchange (forex), contracts for difference (CFDs), individual stocks or stock market indices, for many people is an attractive proposition.
