Market Investing Can Be Hard or Easy

It seems to us there are two ways to invest in markets: the hard way and the easy way. The hard way involves doing a lot of research, or studying research done by others. Here is an example...

Futures Research Corp. today announced the launch of their new subscription based research service for futures traders and other futures market participants. Specializing in seasonal and historical research tools, the site is designed for both the novice and experienced futures trader. The service can be accessed at http://www.FuturesResearchCorp.com .

For traders, the site targets those looking for trading ideas and those looking to further validate trades from their existing trading program. Traders with their own trading system can plug their trades into FRC's seasonal analysis tool to determine past performance, maximum risk and profit points and many other metrics. Futures Research Corp also offers their output in a variety of formats that Futures Commission Merchants (FCMs) and other brokers can re-brand and offer to their clients. "Our charts and market analysis should not only encourage additional client trading activity, but the professional quality trade reports and charts also provide a great prospecting tool for attracting new clients," states Kelly. Many of the most successful traders believe the greatest success in trading markets is achieved by analyzing markets from both a technical and fundamental perspective. FRC provides fundamental analysis through a centralized access point for industry reports, weather analysis for determining impacts to the agricultural and energy markets, and charting of all varieties of fundamental information such as supply and demand data for many of the major futures contracts.

For additional information, please contact Michael Kelly or visit the website at http://www.FuturesResearchCorp.com. Futures Research Corp. is a web-based research firm dedicated to providing futures traders with the information and tools they need to improve their trading decisions and increase the success of their trading program.

The easy way of investing requires more faith than knowledge. What you do is find a program or system that does all the work for you and then follow the directions. One good example of this is Doubling Stocks. It's a stock picking system that is based on artificial intelligence. In essence, a robot that picks which stocks are going to double in value. The promoters of Doubling Stocks say that subscribers to their newsletter regularly earn thousands of dollars per month, and that if someone had invested $5,000 four months ago, they would now have $387,684 in clear profit in their bank account.

So, which kind of an investor are you? One who wants to work hard, or one who wants to follow the easy route?
